UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season

[blue Snow]

Cody Gakpo show a good performance for Netherlands in the world cup, but we don't know about his performance in Liverpool. What if Gakpo is similar like Nunez? Nunez was a sharp striker in Benfica, but he doesn't a same performance when he joined Liverpool.

Liverpool is always gambling to get a new attacker, one of them is Nunez and now, try to gamble with Gakpo. I followed this guy in PSV, he is the top scorer on Eredivisie and Ajax is also interesting to him. but, he have good motivated to play on the big club, I believe Liverpool is his dream for long time. But, we know, premier league is not he same like eredivisie, he will get hard competition between outside and inside club. if lose shine he will get the same as another player.

Gakpo performed well in PSV too and he has good statistics for PSV. His performance for Netherlands in World Cup 2022 is a confirmation for his ability and his value increases because of this. Many big clubs hesitated to buy him before World Cup 2022 but now if they want to buy him, cost would be more expensive. Anyway, he already joined Liverpool so if other big clubs want him, they will have to wait.

I disagree with them by the expensive transfer for Nunez but in the past, they succeeded with many attacking players, Salah, Mane, Firmino, Jota, Diaz. They are all good players for Liverpool and did performed well for them.

The expensive transfer for Nunez is insane and it can be a start of uncontrolled transfer strategy in Liverpool. I hope that Liverpool won't follow a collapsing strategy of Barcelona.

Nunez has become a failed striker for liverpool. There have been bunch of memes created by liverpudlians for him caused by he was always missing the golden opportunity to make the goal. gakpo has become a new bet for liverpool. We will see whether gakpo will become a successful transfer by liverpool or he will did nothing like nunez. This is gambling that has been taken by liverpool. It seems like that klopp didn't feel satisfied with the performance from nunez. glad to see that liverpool bought another striker.

I'm not really surprised to see Liverpool play like they did against aston villa. Liverpool has displayed such performance against many clubs this season, the only issue is that they are not consistent. Liverpool may win against Aston villa but may draw or lose against Leicester city, with that I can't tell they can stand against real Madrid even with their last match performance because it has been the same since the beginning of the season. Moreover, Madrid has a better record against Liverpool in their last five matches, I don't think there will be a difference this time.

Yes, I totally agree with you, Liverpool's main problem right now is about their consistency in every game. They don't have that at the moment.

It's true, Real Madrid have a mentality that no other team has, I see now they are the best team in terms of mentality. And also I agree, even if Real Madrid loses their first leg match, they are a team that can turn things around very well, no matter how little time is left, they can make the most of it. Not only have I seen this once or twice, in fact most of their matches last season in the Champions League were done the same way.

Yes, we believe because they did it not just by chance, I mean not just one time, but over a period of time. Do you remember when they were already behind Atletico Madrid in the 2014 UCL Final, but at the end of time, they were able to reverse their situation.

It's a slap on Real Madrid to compare their status with that of Aston Villa.

Dafuq , your words are so funny, mate, you make my day.

Nunez is a talented player. But he is unable to adapt himself to the Liverpool team. Liverpool management had high expectations from Nunez. Nunez was brought in by Liverpool as a replacement for Sadio Mane. But he is not playing well. The coach should give Nunez his full support. I believe that with enough support from the coach and if Nunez is diligent, he can play well with Liverpool.

The Liverpool coach actually has to provide support for all the players who have joined the team in every season including this season, which is not only aimed at someone like Darwin Nunez even though the player was brought in to Liverpool to replace Sadio Mane who had gone to the team other. Because Liverpool's target now for the rest of this season is to win more matches by continuing to get points in every game so that they can continue to be in the competitive path with other great teams in the Champions League and also in their own local league.

It seems that until now indeed he failed to meet the target as a replacement for Mane. His fate is like Hazard in madrid, but he is indeed new to come and I think it still takes a lot of opportunities to be trusted. I once wrote, maybe Klopp could give him the option to lend him first. Then in January they can buy a replacement to accompany Moh Salah. To this day it is too short to decide Nunez's purchase failed because of the time not long in the EPL. First I thought he was going to compete with Haaland but I was wrong.

IMO, we can't claim Nunez failed because the season isn't over yet. There are still many matches to prove his ability as a top striker. Signing Gakpo doesn't mean replacing Nunez, Jürgen Klopp may put him alongside Nunez on Liverpool attacking line. Gakpo-Nunez-Salah seems promising enough, I expect Klopp to try this combination.

By the way, every new signing is always gambling, no guarantee a top player to succeed in any team. Even a superstar like Hazard and Bale, failed in Real Madrid. However, Klopp must have a strong reason why he chooses Gakpo. He won't sign carelessly for a player who is worth around €60m. Gakpo is a young attacker and he can play in some positions, this can be two reasons why Klopp signs him.

IMO, we can't claim Nunez failed because the season isn't over yet. There are still many matches to prove his ability as a top striker.

Nunez is over assessed because of his transfer cost that is insanely expensive. If we exclude his transfer cost, he has acceptable performance after several first matches in Premier League in his first season there. It is not easy for all players with their first season in Premier League. To assess Nunez better, I think we must wait for season 2023 - 2024 because after one season there, if he fails in a second season, it's clearly his failure.

Signing Gakpo doesn't mean replacing Nunez, Jürgen Klopp may put him alongside Nunez on Liverpool attacking line. Gakpo-Nunez-Salah seems promising enough, I expect Klopp to try this combination.

Liverpool sign with Gakpo because of injuries from two attacking players: Diaz and Jota. They found Gakpo as a suitable replacement and succeeded to bring him to Anfield with support from Van Dijk. These players are both important in Netherlands and Van Dijk is a captain so he has somewhat ability to convince Gakpo to join Liverpool.

Gakpo can play at many positions which I believe what Klopp really likes in this player. Gakpo can be another Firmino for Liverpool and he can release pressure for Nunez too. Liverpool might also not change their formation because of Nunez. They can use their same tactics like for Salah, Firmino and Mane. I feel that they will have a good combination from Diaz, Salah and Gakpo with Salah and Diaz at two swings and Gakpo at the center.

Darwin nunez didn't even meet what already speculated by so many parties. The performance that shows by darwin is far compared with sadio mane when he was still in liverpool. gakpo has been considered as a solution for the liverpool's striker. I hope that if with the come of gakpo will make liverpool even beter. Darwin was a very bad in the final execution for the any chance that already come to him. It seems like that jurgen was also feeling frustated with him and that's why jurgen was sending van dijk to hijack gakpo from MU.

I'm not sure, Gakpo will replace Nunez's position. except, if Klopp pairs two stickers on the front lines. IMO, Cody Gakpo will play as a winger like his original position when playing with PSV. The presence of Gakpo with The Red is expected to boost the sharpness of their front line. I'm sure it won't take Cody Gakpo long to adapt to Liverpool later. and maybe, his presence at Liverpool will boost Nunez's performance later. or maybe, it could be that Klopp prefers Gakpo as a center forward. after all, he is a young player who is multi-talented and can be placed as a forward striker.

and now, we are just waiting to see which players Klopp will bring to Anfield later. most likely, Klopp will bring in an attacking midfielder. so, it seems that Liverpool are really preparing to restore their performance. especially preparing his troops to face Real Madrid.

On the Madrid side, so far there has been no official statement from El Real to bring in players this January. this is interesting, I want to see Liverpool's performance later, especially in the Champions League.

Gakpo can slot in as a false nine and with Firmino almost likely to leave I think that's where he will be used more often if Luiz Diaz return from injury. Nunez needs to step up and with Gakpo around is position isn't secure again.
Liverpool are in For Enzo Fernandez although he seems too expensive but he is surely what they need.

Real Madrid are not a big fan of Winter transfer so it is not surprising seeing them quite this transfer period.

I don't totally agreed many opinion about Darwin Nunez failure with Liverpool trough 15 matches played in Primer League and still have many matches left later. Last night his appearance against Aston Villa he has great contribution how to make space for other player can scoring goals.

I think have possibility with Liverpool attacking line after arriving Cody Gakpo between Salah, Nunez and Gakpo but still possibility with Nunez losing his space if Firmino have consistency performance later. Gakpo become best alternative option for Liverpool because he can play more than two position and give advantage for Klopp when having problem with other player injured.

Of course this is a challenge for Cody Gakpo so that he can become Jurgen Kloop's confidant on the front lines, he will fight hard and prove what he will give to Liverpool. Of course, apart from new challenges in the EPL, he will also compete in the UCL this season and the first opponent he has to face will be Real Madrid in the round of 16 later. Cody Gakpo must be able to give his best performance when he meets the king of the champions league, because this is not the first time Real Madrid and Liverpool have met in the UCL, even Liverpool have always lost when facing Real Madrid.

No chance for liverpool to compete for trophy hence liverpool was only aiming for the champion league trophy and entering into the top 4 EPL to be qualified for UCL next season. Liverpool has made an effort to bring gakpo to the anfield and it must be praised. I thought that with the come of gakpo will give a big change to the play style from liverpool. I see that the main target for liverpool to slowly building the squad again to be the same like when mane was on liverpool. Liverpool was making an alternative solution for that.

However, Liverpool's performance has declined this season. they are trying to improve their squad to be better. now Liverpool's front line is very scary with the arrival of Gakpo.
Hope to compete in UCL. as their next opponent will be in the round of 16 in Madrid. if Liverpool manages to make their team solid before the match against Madrid begins, it will certainly be a very interesting match. because with Liverpool's current game, I think it's quite difficult for Liverpool to get a win over Madrid.

You could say that Liverpool will be revenge for the loss in the final last season, but I think that Real Madrid will win easily in this confrontation. Liverpool are not having the best time in the team, you could even say it's a crisis after Sadio Mane left the club. Now Madrid looks much stronger than Liverpool and I am sure they will win.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I wonder when we will be able to see some other team breaking Real Madrid's domination in the Champions League and winning even more titles than them later on. Real Madrid have won this title for 14 times so far. This is a record that is really hard to be broken. The closest team to them is Milan now which has 7 titles. Just look at this gap I mean.

Even if Manchester City - PSG duo finally get their first titles in the near future it will be a long road for them to capture this record. Real Madrid wouldn't weaken here easily as well because they are always keeping the squad strong and making the right choices for their manager position.

You're right, for me it's one of the strongest teams of all time, for a moment Barcelona gave it great competition, but I think it didn't measure up, and that's sad, Atlético de Madrid is one of the quiepoq that can give him the fight, however I do not think they can be enough to be able to appeal to have the title removed, for now Barcelona is first in the League, but it is in the Europa League, it is not the same, There are different levels that are handled, however I would think that Real Madrid will continue to have the League title and possibly the UCL, even if the oldest and best players they have leave.

As the defending champions so much is expected from them in the Champions league this season. Their success in the Champions league this season will depend on how much resistance they can show against any other opponent in the tournament this season begining from beating Liverpool in the next knockout round. This is a difficult task for Real Madrid and facing Liverpool for the third time I'm sure Liverpool will be looking for revenge this time.

Liverpool isn't really in a good form this season but this also may be a good thing for them for this match because the only thing left for them is the champions league, they lost the hop for getting the EOL title and they already out of the curabao cup so i believe they will put all the their efforts to Keep playing for the champoins league

they also signed Gakpo who can add a lot to the team, they might have started a little bad this season but they can pop off out of nowhere again, they have quality players to do so, and they are a team that i can never count them out of the race.

I can't deny that a game against Liverpool generates a lot of expectations, especially with Mo Salah who even said that he had waited so long to have to play that game, but I think it's true, but now Real Madrid is very well armed. He has great potential and they can win the UCL again, who can stop him for now would be PSG, or even Bayern, but since Real Madrid is so well connected I doubt it, I don't know if they can beat Real Madrid, Ancelotti He has a great strategy, I think he already devised and recreated in his mind what will happen in that game, 'therefore, he must already have a lineup with or without Benzema.

Ancelotti jamás haría algo así a Benzema:

'Why did you ask him to leave so quickly?': Karim Benzema's bust-up with Didier Deschamps goes fully public as his agent publishes evidence he COULD'VE played at the World Cup - but instead he was banished

Accompanying the video, Djaziri said: 'I put that there but before that I consulted 3 specialists who confirm the diagnosis that Benzema could have been fit from the last 16 to at least be on the bench! Why did you ask him to leave so quickly?,' in a clear dig at Deschamps. 

Spanish outlet Marca had previously reported that Benzema would have been fit for the World Cup knockout rounds after needing just a three-week lay off from the injury he suffered on November 19.

When France played Poland in the last-16 on December 4, it was reportedly the same time as Benzema was off on holiday on the island of Reunion.

The report states the French striker went on holiday in perfect condition while on that day, Deschamps had definitively ruled out him returning to Qatar to join the squad.

The posts from Djaziri questioning the legitimacy of Deschamps's actions to rule out Benzema come after Spanish news outlet AS reported that French team-mate Antoine Griezmann felt too much social media coverage was spent on the Real Madrid striker and not covering him during the build up to, and during the tournament.

Real Madrid ranking top most successful club in the world with countless trophies to their gallery. They've set incredible records in the champions league with winning it three times in a row which I'm pretty sure no team have been able to break that record. Real Madrid have a very choice with picking players from the market and they also have experience coach in the team. First it was Zinedane Zidane who lead the Los blancos to glory in the past seasons, presently is Carlo ancelotti. PSG and Manchester city can't meetup the laliga giant in UEFA history but in the promising future, let's see their outcome.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Dortmund - Chelsea is another interesting matchup to me.

Because I believe that this is a matchup between two close teams in strength these days. I think like this because of seeing Chelsea's inadequate performance in the recent times. However they have made a really good return by their Bournemouth game last. It was a completely one-sided game and an easy win. But we saw this from Liverpool as well. They won against the same opponent by an emormous goal difference also but they were still inconsistent later. Therefore we need to watch a few more games to be confident about something.

Dortmund haven't played a game in the Bundesliga yet after the break. If they continue to have the same defensive problems then Chelsea would come one step forward in this matchup for sure.
