well, the last time Real Madrid came to Anfield, in the Champions League in 2009, we hammered them 4-0.  And their keeper played a blinder - or else it would have been 7 or 8.
If there was any logic behind the signing of Balotelli,
it would be that he would rise to tonight's occasion
and secure a victory for us.

Oh yeah don't let a little fact that this club almost went under to deflect from the "progress" we'll see tonight when Real will win quite comfortably.

the Balotelli solution involves giving him a ball of his own.   Thus he does not have to give it back, ever.

The lad is the exact opposite of what a Liverpool player is - he is utterly lazy; and he refuses to pass the ball.

on the contrary, the club has been financially comfortable all throughout Rodgers time at Anfield.

It almost went under during Rafa's time in charge.......and despite all those issues, he took us to two CL finals, and a runners-up spot in the league....and a trophy or two.

Men against boys.

I just hope our players learn from this footballing lesson they are receiving.

one suspects, Barcelona and Madrid won't be beating a path to Brendan's door any time soon (whey they seek a new manager).

 ;)

Jumpers for goal-posts tactics at this level, just don't work.

I can see us coming good in the second half of February. With the League Cup, FA Cup and Europe put aside for another season, we can concentrate on the league.

Like a phoenix (the mythological, though non existent bird) we shall soar from the ash box...............just like Icarus. They will call us Hindenburg.

See, immediate improvement. We managed to keep a clean sheet for the whole of half time.

 :D   If only we could keep Madrid in the dressing room, and let Brendan sweet-talk them, and make loads of friends, and show what a great guy he is - and fantastic orator too.

PS  This could get embarrassing in the second 45 minutes.

The Guardian live coverage sums it up with:


FULL TIME: Liverpool 0-3 Real Madrid

On the final whistle, Anfield rises to warmly applaud Real Madrid, who have been as brilliant tonight as their own heroes have been dismal. A lesson learned? The return fixture at the Bernabeu will see if that’s the case. A lesson taught, certainly. There goes Liverpool’s 100 percent record against Real Madrid.

90 min: A throaty, emotional version of You’ll Never Walk Alone. Liverpool and these supporters will need an awful lot of hope right now, because this team is almost totally bereft of confidence and quite frankly in a bit of a mess. “Thankfully, we’ll never have to face the likes of Real Madrid again this season,”........ “Oh, wait.”

1 clean sheet in 19 games and still Brendan doesn't change tact.

The best managers can learn and adapt to situations.
