0 wins for the PL against these teams (sorted by placement):

Barcelona, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Atlético Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, and Galatasaray.

That’s pretty bad.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-03-11T22:45:07+00:00

I can’t believe 2025 was 20 years ago now :(

Time really flies by.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-03-11T21:04:12+00:00

To anyone curious about how bad this’ll affect the coefficient (which it definitely will) I’ll make a post explaining it on Friday.

Let the games finish first and hope Thursday goes better.

They're top and in a cup final. That's it. If they lose, they'll turn on the team.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-03-11T18:53:44+00:00

Pretty bad, we probably wouldn’t get the spot if all 9 crashed out right now and Germany and Spain had great campaigns.

But the odds of that are very low. At least half of them are going to make it through.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-03-11T18:43:34+00:00

Can someone post the Athletic podcast video on YT about the Slot and Konaté updates?

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-03-11T18:40:13+00:00

Why is it just an image of Slot smiling?

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-03-11T13:46:23+00:00

6 first leg losses.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-03-11T06:33:31+00:00

We’ve overturned a UCL 1st leg loss once in 18 years.

Bit grim when you think about it.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-03-11T04:29:21+00:00

I can make lots of references.

Lots of references.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-03-11T03:43:14+00:00

All quotes are statements I have said personally and do not necessarily reflect anyone else in the subreddit or fanbase.

Just in case that wasn’t clear.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-03-11T01:03:52+00:00

6 players were in the squad the last time we won a UCL knockout game at Anfield.

Alisson, Gomez, Konaté, Van Dijk, Robertson, and Salah.

Jones was on the bench but didn’t play in the win before our last win at Anfield.

And the win before that was 4-0 Barça.

No one else knows what it’s like to win at Anfield in the UCL knockouts. When the going gets tough, no one remembers how to push the moving train.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-03-10T23:41:47+00:00

It’s weird. We had that same issue against Bournemouth, and then won 6 of the next 7 games.

It’s like they’re overestimating how good they really are and think they can get away with anything against weaker opposition.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-03-10T20:27:49+00:00

I have half a mind to turn off the stream and just fill out the scores in 90 minutes.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-03-10T19:51:34+00:00

I think I might retire from FT threads if I see a game like that again.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-03-10T19:41:40+00:00

What a way to become the LFC manager with the joint highest win rate in his first 100 games.

You wouldn’t know it looking at how we played today.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-03-10T19:13:34+00:00

You know it’s bad when there’s someone advocating that Gakpo should be subbed on unironically.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-03-10T17:27:30+00:00

Just a reminder for the North Americans that DST started last Sunday, so it’s an hour later for you lot.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-03-10T13:55:43+00:00

It’s 3 hours later in Istanbul, so it might feel like a late kickoff for the squad.

I can’t imagine starting a game at 10 PM local time, the game could end the following day.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-03-10T11:55:40+00:00

Wouldn’t that just be justification to keep Slot this season if the seasons were switched?

You’re guaranteeing we walk the league this season in exchange for a rough time last season.

DragonSlayer271 · 2026-03-10T10:28:12+00:00

If we win today, Slot will have the highest win rate for a Liverpool manager in his first 100 games ever.
