Champions League Final - The Big Cup Build-Up Thread

[stormfly]

Just realised we have probably had all our best players on the pitch 3 or 4 times this season if we’re lucky. Klopp must be struggling to do his prep about how we’re going to play. Whereas Poch will have a pretty clear idea about how Liverpool will be setting up.

Every day since the ajax match i have spent time at work day dreaming about an open top bus rolling down the high road.
I cant do it too myself, just cant.

Do you think we would do it Madrid/Barca style - like late night from the airport? or in the streets of London - that would be pretty awesome.

Meh it will some organised malarky in the stadium definitely - means spending more money for Mr Levy

What are the chances of tickets remaining after the first three phases... missed cut off and now just hoping people decide not to take up the opportunity... although i suspect everyone will buy regardless of whether they can go or not then sell the tickets at a premium... thats what I am suspecting..

I’m hoping too but I think 147 points is just a little to low. Shame if people do just buy them to sell on.

If I can’t get a ticket though will def be up for hooking up in a fan zone as I’ll be on my own.

Have you tried any of the dating apps? They're quite good apparently.

 

[aliyid]

Praying there will be a few thousand who can’t make it due to cost of ticket & travel on top of ST renewal but can’t see it dropping as low as 112 LP

 

[Stamford]

Will be 25k plus I reckon. I know a load with no ticket going

 

[Flashspur]

This will be our dressing room for the evening

OK it’s Spartan. Will put our lads in the right frame of mind. This is war not show biz.

 

[guy]

you do know when the opo take a set piece most of the time they are attacking with movement that helps you jump higher. if you run from the edge of the area, you will jump higher than from a standing position, if their team mates get their blocking right your be having a scenario of Alli jumping from a standing position to de Ligt having that extra spring.

there is nothing you can do if the opo get their block in right, other than hope someones jump diverts it to safety.

if it was as easy as you make it sound, no corner would ever result in an opertunitity. our problem is we are not the best in height, hence why we don't score enough from set pieces

The tactic of placing trippier on blocking duties for deligt, and presumably vvd clearly needs to change. Whoever came up with that idea is an idiot, not only is he slow off the mark, but he's small and not strong. It's ridiculous.

And the zonal markers should start a couple of paces back so they can attack the ball if it falls in their zone.

There are things that can be practiced, not doing so in a three week build-up to our biggest ever game would be suicidal

100% this will come down to the managers. The media keeps hailing Klopp as the manager of the season, and very few pundits point to Pochettino. But look what Pochettino has done with no signings, no rest periods, not stretches with an injury free squad. Lining up our 11 best players, Klopp's got no idea what's coming.

I'm in for a bit of communal drinking. I'm travelling by myself, know a couple of liverpool fans going, but need some spurs banter. Not needy

Same here mate. There's got to be a few lonely travelling yids out there?

 

[bubble07]

I still cant believe it

 

[Original # 10]

Chillingly calm and still living in a state of of a surreal environment.

No doubt nearer and on the day I’ll feel a whole lot different but currently I’m more proud than anything and any pressure that might rear its head is way down the list of emotional priorities.

In the scheme of things, this will be anything but a ‘free game’ but in my head that’s exactly the way I think I’ll approach it.....

Can’t stop smiling!

Stop their full backs must be items 1-100 on the agenda.

Has to be 4-3-3 with son and moura on the wings.

No surprise the website isn't coping, got into the ticketing site but the event just never loads.
