Dortmund's 3-0 over Monaco is showing how this season is going for us. Super excited, everything is really promising!!!

Fucking Spurs are in a hole now. Losses to Juventus away and Barcelona home.
 
Salah gave Ancelotti his jersey after. Haven't seen that much or ever that I recall.

In regard to Liverpool I talked to people at work who follow Prem and said that I believe they’ll once again falter when other comps come up. This was prior to the season. They had a hot start and I reiterated that statement. Especially since we all talked about how their fans were starting to bring up the ‘it’s our year’ stuff. Couldn’t have been more right and it’s only the 2nd week of UCL.
Already knocked out of Carabao cup, played poorly in their last two matches and fans are starting to question Mane and Salah’s slow start.
Can this club compete on multiple fronts or do they revert to the Liverpool of years past and focus on one competition? Last year they placed emphasis on UCL and almost didn’t qualify for this years tournament due to a rough end to the season.
I’m just waiting for them to drop points again, fall behind in the race and revert to the ‘focusing on UCL’ excuses again. Same story every year

Sounds about right

The locker rooms are outside the stadium. Stadium is built into ground. I believe there are two tunnels. The visitors tunnel the longest. Comes out right in front of ultras on purpose. From start to finish, like a 3 minute walk. My Serbian friends say bad things happen in those tunnels when there isn't a game.

Jurgen told Shaqiri to stay home, wasn't even on the bench. He knew what could happen. It was the smart move.

Thought that might be the case with Lovren as well, but apparently he was "ill".
 
Lovren is merely Croatian. Shaqiri is Albanian, an ethnicity the Serbians tried to exterminate within living memory.
I thought the Croatian-Serbian relations were pretty close to that, but I'll admit that my research went about as far as spending a lot of my university days with Bosnians, Croatians and Serbs :p

The hate was mostly due to his actions at the world cup, with his Albanian eagle celebration when Switzerland played Serbia. Went deeper than just his Albanian roots.

Liverpool haven’t really been good all year except for a couple of spurts here and there.

I don’t know what the hell is going on. I don’t care for all of these conservative tactics.

If I had to guess, maybe Jurgen is waiting to unleash the press later in the season when he feels like the players can stay strong the remainder.

Mainly, Firmino has been pretty shit. He’s looked worn out most every game.

Also, I don’t get all of these Liverpool fans that think Robertson and Trent are transformational players. Robertson is decent for me, but Trent has been absolutely horrific.

Eh. Like I said, I don’t know what the hell is going on. But I’m annoyed and bored with how the team is playing right now.
