Madrid’s front 3 is pretty powder puff. They don’t look a threat on the break at all unless Mbappe is released early and they offer no box threat either.
I don’t get all the fuss about Bellingham.. invisible tonight but still better than Mbappe

They are playing with 3 10s only mbappe Is a forward and he’s so out of form
Yeah I realise that, that’s why I’m saying they don’t look very threatening. You could argue none of their front 3 are natural in the position they are playing

He needs a proper CF and wingers to allow him space. He’s got Mbappe who isn’t a 9 and two number 10’s on the wings offering little width or threat in behind. It’s all very one paced in attack for Madrid, it’s easy to deal with for Liverpool.

I’ve not really been paying attention this season, mostly as I haven’t tried to understand the new format… is there anything riding on the Liverpool V Real game or is it a glorified friendly?
Yes just feels like a glorified friendly doesn’t it, really not a fan of this huge league table at all, it was fine how it was.

Guardiola claiming to have caused the cut to his nose himself.

Think it’s apparent the stress is getting to him. Either that or a Man City-supporting rodent attacked his bonce.

Stress and pressure of management is so high and Pep is a real perfectionist so he’ll feel it more than most after this current unprecedented drop off in form.

He probably needs a break or to leave City for something new tbh.

Lost count of the amount of times I've watched Mbappe and been underwhelmed .

Maybe wasting some of your most important developmental years at an overly dominant, league wise, PSG isn’t the best thing for your career
