Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings

[escobar43535]

Some incredible results last night...Liverpool, Sporting, AC Milan, Celtic, Zagreb, Trump

Perhaps all our games should be played from the 2nd half

Jokes aside, a brilliant 2nd half destroyed Leverkusen. Think we even ended it’s 33 game unbeaten streak away from home.

So happy for Lucho with a no-look goal for his hat-trick. Classic Bobby Firmino

Now if we win against Real (even if the result is largely symbolic at this stage) and City then it'll be difficult to control the hype.

However, we desperately need Jan signings though. This team is still hugely reliant on 3 or 4 players.

Perfect 12 points. Hope enough to auto qualify.

It is confirmed.
Liverpool is the 1st team to qualify for the next stage of the CL...... they have amassed enough points even if they lose all their remaining games they will still have enough to qualify.

Yes although it is important that we qualify for top 8. Top 8 ensures auto qualification stage for round of 16. So if the top 8 sides qualify for round of 16 (8+8=16 right?), where will the remaining 8 sides come from?

The remaining 8 sides will come from teams that finish 9th to 24th position in the league after the first 8 games. Teams 9th to 16th will play a 2 legged knock out match against another team that finished between 17th to 24th.

We should try to avoid the extra 2 CL games to get more rest. Hopefully Villa, Arsenal and Man City need to play these 2 extra games. During this extra 2 games period, the FA cup competition should have started. FA cup matches in England tend to be played on weekends. Will be a scheduling nightmare

So last time CL games are 8 groups of 4 teams, after 3 away and 3 home games, the top 2 teams qualify. The round of 16 teams emerge after 6 CL games.

Now need to play 8 games (2 extra games) for the top 8 teams (in round of 16) to emerge. The remaining 8 teams (in round of 16) will be decided after 2 knock out games. So these 8 teams play an extra 4 (2+2) games (as compared to previous years).

Plus all the extra Nations League games mandated by FIFA, injury lists will pile up in 2nd half of next season. Our thin squad will probably need to call on players from the academy.
