Poch f*cked things up in the extra time.

That we kept L'pool from scoring in the first half was an achievment. We had two chances but they had the ball 80% of the time. In the second half they gradually lost their legs but we could do nothing. In extra time the tired legs was us. How did Poch manage that ?

Yes but b***dy how ? Mudryk was supposed to be the new Rivelinho, Enzo the new Platini.

Forget Mudryk. He is good only to deliver pizza.

Madueke was fresh and the Liverpool defenders could not stop him. But because he is an idiot he wasted every ball.

True - Pool players cannot be blamed for missing their chances because our defense saved - just like Gallagher can't be blamed for hitting the post. But our front men were once again useless.

Amidst the halabaloo here is another player that proves useless - Nkunku.

Poch out.

Pool are on the backfoot.

All Gallagher had to do was use his left foot.

Won't play till March you say here.

Is Salah playing ? Bet365 are offering a bet for Salah over 0.5 shots at goal.

City lived dangerously. But why did we give Kovacic to them ? He 's not playing for Roma now - it's City.

So it's Chelsea versus Tsimikas, is it ?

Pool are no better than City.

The fall of the house of Tuchel - by Edgar Allan Poe.

Parking the bus means the opposition are not allowed to create chances. Not the battle of Gravia inn. We played 11 men in the box like third division side, not like a mid table premiership team. We played like Newcastle who were 2-0 ahead and lost to City.

Man to man, like Tuchel. We scored in the first half in that match and kept the 1-0. City had to try to reach our half - which they did but not every minute.

Mudryk and Madueke could give them a run but they 'd have to get the ball to do that. Rather Gilchrist. I did n't like the way they could carry the ball from the midfield unopposed to right inside our box. I call this Alamo, not defensive play.

Maybe he spotted who looked tired. But why Challobah after such a long absence in such crucial circumstances ?

I like to see Pep crying for losing the premier and also crying when he loses again the champions league. He managed one thanks to Lukaku.

So do we.

No they did not. But our midfield was an empty space. They might as well have put some chairs and coffee there.

Practically they could have equalized earlier, So what ?

City did n't play much different at 0-0. All of them up front trying to pressure and they were leaving gaps behind that we exploited twice. But we were not letting them play ball inside our box ! So what was Poch afraid of in the second half ? He could at least have kept them from reaching the box with such ease.
