ol thats very clear when a team gets promoted that proven players are needed. Look at all the teams who come up and go right back down who don't really add on to the squad.


C'mon, you know that's not what I'm talking about..

I'm talking about EPL teams buying players from foreign leagues..

I see this shite all the time, can you please explain this? What "level"?



The Champions League level. Everything is dialed up regardless who you are playing. Its not like in the league when a bad result happens and you have many games to make it up. The stakes are much higher.

Do you insinuate that playing Ludogorets or wtf ever is a different level than playing City, Chelsea, United, Arsenal, Spurs etc.. which they do multiple times every year?



um no

Teams that get promoted generally are at the low end of the the talent spectrum. That's why they need "premiere league players".

That's not the case when a team like Liverpool get back into the CL. At least not in the group stage.

I could see your point if they were playing like Barcelona or whoever in the knockout round but in a game like today it makes no sense.

Players with no games in the champions league are def going to show their nerves. The team Liverpool played had nothing to lose.

So our players with little CL experience = nerves/pressure
Their players with no CL experience = nothing to lose

gotcha!

Razgrad's been in Europe a number of times in the past few years. They were also helped by the absolute nonexistence of any atmosphere at Anfield.

Even the EPL propagandists at ITV mentioned that Pool fans didn't start singing until after the first goal.

I could hear songs clearly from the first whistle. Loudly. There are YouTube clips of the fans singing so loud the audio goes out. Rewatch the game. I have absolutely no idea how anyone could come to that conclusion.

In fact I distinctly remember hearing the opposite from the feed to FS2. They were saying that the atmosphere was incredible.

My head is not in a bag, you don't know what you're talking about, as per usual...

I would agree there was probably more pressure on us to win, but that had zero, zilch, nada to do with UCL experience...

Stop talking out your arse so much...

I hate to say it but what Bhoy is saying is true. The ITV pundits and guys in the both were saying it was not that great.
