The front 3 of Liverpool are fast feets.

Marcelo can't run any longer neither can Carvajal. Only Nacho and Varane can run.

That said if we keep them in front view and don't allow then run behind our defence we are safe.

This time around our main problem is well covered. The problem am referring to is defending crosses.

At least we will have yo worry less of that.

So my saying not too sure is because Liverpool won't stay back to defend they will come out attacking.
Secondly Klooop will want this badly to cement his status in Europe.

I trust in my team but defensively we are suspect still.

#APorLa13

If we take our chances and not have any brain farts at the back, we'd manage the final comfortably.

The issue is that we make defensive errors in every match these days. And Liverpool are a team that can punish said errors.

The way out is the Barca way, keep possession, control the midfield, and take our chances. Unsettle the amateurs who haven't been to any UCL final nor faced any traditional heavyweight this season.

We buried PSG, Juve, and Bayern. We should take out our annoyance on the YNWA crowd for all the close calls.

We should concentrate less on our misgivings at the back and focus on our unparalleled strengths. Liverpool has 3 attackers. We have 10.

Neimar:


let your fraud go and show himself in the world cup jare

He has already shown himself at the Euros (played every four years).

Your fraud should win Copa America (an annual tournament) then we would start taking him serious.

BTW, Ronaldo and Portugal got to fourth place in the 2006 Mundial after losing 1-0 to France in the SF. Here's to hoping they do better this yr and get into the finals.

Sommyroy10:
Nigga, what the...? From scoring from all stages of the competition, from scoring a bicycle kick you guys have tagged the greatest goal of all time. From Bayern is Ronaldo's b***ch. To this. E no hard make you just admit say him no play well today. After all he did play well the entire competition till he met Bayern. He actually missed a great a chance to end the game as a contest.

"No play well" is relative.

This wasn't his best performance ever per his ridiculously high standards. But he certainly wasn't "running like a headless chicken" like that unfortunate fellow opined.

You guys should just enjoy your double in peace and let us concentrate with the CL which should help us get the CWC and UEFA Super Cup. It is no one's fault but yours that you guys weren't able to score 1 goal at Roma.

-Lord

Miremoses1:
mehn! We really suffered today, the tension was damn high. I would barely watch again.

Glad we made it again to the finallllll!

It doesn't always have to be pretty.

Congrats to all the players and staff. No criticisms this night. Tomorrow those who almost cost us would have a roast.

-Lord

Miremoses1:
at the moment bro. I just don't care about Roma and Liverpool.

We are in the finallls!!

IKR?

Still processing it.

-Lord

Neimar:
I finally give up

Madrid be giving me straight Ls since 2016

UCL winners madrid

Kpele!

We warned you.

-Lord

Krasid:
What happened to if he doesn't score he assists, if he doesn't assist he creates chances, if he doesn't create chances he pulls up fantastic saves to deny the opponents? is he not a magician and sorcerer anymore? Let him magically take Barca to the UCL final na.

Shame no dey catch them. Na only CdR him dey show himself. Competition that CR7 hasn't played in for years.

Simple tap in, or run into the defense and concede a foul, he no fit do. He dey 1 do Shaolin soccer in front of alisson, when a simple header would have put the ball at the back of the net.

-Lord

haymekus:



U mean running all over the place like a head-less chicken?

You mean dragging out all the defenders for the Marcelo cross that made Benzema unmarked with an empty net in front of him?

Or do you mean being part of the teammates pressing Bayern upfront that led to the Ulreich mistake?

Messi was just walking from half way line to edge of the 18 yards against Roma. CR7 was at the back defending every corner.

That's why this Madrid team would put their necks on the line for him?

CR7 inspires confidence and belief in the team.

-Lord

NoDulling4here:


Exactly my point. Man utd lost to West Brom at old Trafford one week after beating Man City.

Real Madrid will eventually run out of luck. Meanwhile, check out their head to head record against Liverpool.
If Liverpool qualify, Zidane and his team will need brand new handkerchiefs for the final. if you know what I mean

And we hadn't won Juventus in the knockout stages until this year.

There's a first time for everything.

-Lord

Miremoses1:
Bring on Roma, as far as I'm concerned Liverpool won't qualify.

Infact! I don't care. Bring on Liverpool mehn!

Thankfully, all of Liverpool's front three are not tall. Aerial threat will not be as dangerous as Juventus and Bayern.

All we need to do is make our midfield compact and control the game at the middle of the pack. Then overburden their defense and score goals for fun.

-Lord

RuuDie:


Dude has earned #1 as far as am concerned...

Every madridista on this forum unanimously agree with that.

-Lord

haymekus:



C'mon keep quiet



U that nearly peed on your pant not too long ago

You that is mad we got to 3 finals in a row!

In your face!!!

-Lord

RuuDie:
Why does Real Madrid need DDG again?

Because our second choice is Casilla. And if unfortunately Navas had gotten injured for that cross, we'd certainly have crashed out.

That said, Navas was spectacular today.

-Lord

Eruditor:
Seen enough to feel Liverpool can do a job on this RM.

My God, do it for Jurgen Klopp.

Still supporting losers for the third year in a row?

-Lord

Krasid:
Phew. Football is not good for my health.

No be lie.

And to think that CR7 chance would have killed the game.

Kudos to Benzema, Navas, and Vazquez+Modric.

Zidane is a gambler.

-Lord

liveLongNprospa:

I am praying for this too�����

I said it when the lineup came out.

How'd you play a striker as a LB for the first time this season against Alaba+Ribery on the excuse that Nacho is not 100% fit.

Modric will soon gas out from all the running on that flank. And our forward play is missing Vazquez. We've had a ton of poor decision making up front.

-Lord

Please put Nacho in this game.

-Lord

Miremoses1:
we are winning tonight

The GOAT factor.

The key takeaway is that CR7 isn't playing as a top 9.

It's us against the world again.

-Lord

Miremoses1:
nacho is not fit bro. We can't risk him.

He trained with the team and he is on the lineup.

Vazquez is our highest assister this season. And he'd be at the back perpetually, lest he strays and we be caught out. We need goals, as many as possible. Moreover who'd help him out?

Alaba isn't 100% fit. He is in the FCB lineup.

I really hope we get away with this setup.

-Lord

Miremoses1:
I was right after all.

Real Madrid XI: Keylor, Lucas Vázquez, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo, Kovacic, Kroos, Modric, Asensio, Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo

Yea and Alaba+Ribery start. Lord help Vazquez.

It'd be a long night!

I hope this pays off.

-Lord

Miremoses1:
bro, have you forgotten that nacho is still not 100% fit. Zizou wouldn't risk him at all. Yes, Vasquez isn't the best option but no other hope.

I'd rather Nacho played as RB with Vazquez playing deeper to help him out (since he isn't at 100%).

Bayern may play Alaba. Alaba+Ribery would be too much for Vazquez to handle.

-Lord

Definitely, the IQ of IPOB guys is terrible... no one with sensible thing to say so far

Typing anything reasonable to you is a chronic waste of time. Why dignify a nonentity with a structured response. It's like putting pearls on a swine.

-Lord

Arewa should accept this thing. Niger Delta rejects you.

-Lord

FriendNG:



please ipob are coward if they did not do their worst. I repeat it has nothing to do with northern gov or northerners. You can only turn your region to Somalia, northeast is an example.

You can do nothing about restructuring except if the northern representative want it (meaning senators and reps)

Now who is chest beating? Aboki no dey hard to predict.

As I said, you are a comedian.

-Lord

@ daraghdave,

It didn't take long.

Let the IPOB lawyer take this joke of an institution to court. The South needs to bring sanity to the heads of these illiterates.

-Lord

FriendNG:



Chest beater, your chest no dey pain you??

Let Ipob do worst. Do you think it will affect the northern governors or the northeners? It will end in your region while the army turn it into somalia.

Is that why Buratai is already chickening out and saying proclamation is different from declaration?

Everything IPOB has done has affected Northern Governors and Northerners whether you care to admit it or not. You guys don't want restructuring and want the status quo to remain. The South wants the opposite.

Earlier this year el-Rufai insulted people clamoring for restructuring. This month you guys formed a committee to debate restructuring. Why do you think that stance changed.

The North is like a frog in a beaker of cold water over a lit burner. Don't overestimate your reach, you will not turn any Southern region to Somalia and Nigeria would still stand. The NE is already a Somalia. Comedian!

And btw, did you read Wike's declaration?

"We are Rivers people and we belong to the Niger Delta"

-Lord

daraghdave:
Absolutely No comment! I Wish u well with your peaceful agitation.

Wish IPOB members, I'm not one. I'm all for restructuring.

All IPOB has to do is take the NA to Federal High Court, Umuahia and have that useless declaration thrown out. Let the NA provide the official gazette and high court order that labeled IPOB a terrorist group.

-Lord

ukonu1995:
saraki is playing the devil advocate, he just want to get sympathise with the Ibo's, but if he really love them he and that criminal he called his deputy should just do the needful,and try to incorporate referendum in the constitution cause last time I checked no word like that.
ike ekeremandu has been Senate deputy since 2007,also chairman Senate committee o. constitutional amendment, what has he achieved, another thief in the person of ihedioha, the criminal that want to be imo state governor was also deputy speaker and also chairman committee on constitutional amendment.
if this two Ibo's Bastard has done enough our Ibo's brothers will not had died for nothing, the truth be told IPOB is a terrorist group if Saraki like he should go and hang him self

Saraki is an ardent politician.

He knows if he doesn't step up to counter the military usurping the authority of a federal high court, tomorrow he may be a victim when another government arm acts unconstitutionally.

The military declaring IPOB a terrorist organization is not illegal and unconstitutional, it sets a bad precedence. Who knows what next they'd do? Revoke the immunity of a sitting governor and arrest him. Dem say na from clap dem tk dey enter dance.

-Lord

diegwu01:
A great move from the Northern Governors, If you ask me, the Southern Governors should be the ones apologizing to the north and Nigeria for not ending IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu's criminal empire earlier than now.

Apologize for what?

Why do you think the Northern govs are running around like headless chickens? They know how dangerous the hand they've dealt is. Or do you think IPOB would just fizzle out when tens of thousands of their members are outside the shores of the country?

All of this is an attempt to stifle the calls for restructuring and it'd fail.

-Lord

daraghdave:
How many people have noticed this... Looking at the comments today... It seems Igbos supporters are gradually getting their groove back compared to last weekend. See what saraki have caused??

Prepare for more heartbreak.

It's IPOB vs Buhari in New York tomorrow.

Then we'd see how long before the Army rescinds its unconstitutional proclamation. Buratai and his cohorts will explain to the Senate who made the DHQ a Federal High Court to declare a group a terrorist organization.

The problem with you illiterate folks is that you always jump the gun. Then are humbled repeatedly.

-Lord

Feraz:
For some reason, this is funny. I'm surprised at your recent dance steps. You and others of your ethnic groups were gloating, having orgasm at the military invasion and happy about it. What changed? Oh btw, Igbos won't be cleared. They didn't succeed in 1967, they still won't succeed.

LordAdam, eph123, come and see what a certain minister said.

At least, he has seen the light.

Many wouldn't know what hit them until it's too late.

-Lord

Bamibor:


Perhaps it's high time we considered people running as independents, unshackled by the many short-comings of the current political parties we have.
I'll look up what the Nigerian constitution says about that. Partisan politics, with its attendant prejudice, is doing Nigeria no good at the moment

Who would vote independents?

Nigeria's democracy is not advanced mate.

Even in the US, an independent candidate would almost certainly not win candidates from the big two parties.

Same case in Nigeria, the folks sponsoring the independent candidate would have their own agenda. And nothing stops the independent candidate from joining or creating a party after clinching the position.

We need to revamp our electoral law no doubt, but we need to have a rethink of the party system. Parties should be based on ideologies. Unfortunately, that is not the case in Nigeria. The ease with which candidates can cross-carpet between parties while retaining the same convictions is appalling.

Independent candidates would not solve this, but there's no harming in trying anyway.

-Lord
