And here come Liverpool to play against what appears to be the Brentford under 12's team
as someone from germany it's absolutely unfathomable that you still have league matches after the finals of european club competitions like what the hell lmao
They should throw it in their own goal. Itβs not Brentfordβs fault that thereβs is such a ridiculous rule
As a Liverpool fan, itβs actually hard to tell when weβre trying nowadays
This has vibes of Barbados vs Grenada in the 1994 Caribbean Cup.
Itβs Liverpool this season in this scenario weβd somehow find a way to lose 4-0
We had something similar in the Dutch 2nd division just recently, due to a unique set of rules there was a team that had to lose their final game to guarentee qualification to the promotion playoffs. And well, they did exactly that. The fans even went as far as to celebrate each of the opponents three goals.
If Villa pull off the Europa win and finish fifth, then we would witness the biggest throwaway job by Brentford since Son missed that 1v1 against City
and it basically a Liverpool goalkeeper playing for Brentford
Have both teams go on and defend the goal they are supposed to attach and attack the goal they are supposed to defend
It doesn't make sense that Villa have to finish exactly 5th. If they come 1st to 4th it should follow the same outcome as 5th
For Liverpool to get a result these days we might just need them to throw it into their own goal ffs
All the players are suddenly going to have to be rested so they can be avoid injuries for the World Cup.
Can somebody please explain, if brentford win and finish 5th, villa win europa and finish 6th, what difference would it make? Won't they both qualify for UCL anyway?. Prem gets 5 places based on UEFA co efficient whether or not villa win UEL.
Could also have 6 teams in CL if Forrest win the Europa as well. Would be a lot simpler
Sounds like a good time for Brentford to experiment with the 0-0-10 formation
I know they already have explained in the video but can someone explain like Iβm 3. I donβt follow how this works!
Brentford βaccidentallyβ score an own goal and then use Tottenhamβs tactics under Thomas Frank to make sure they donβt score any goals
Imagine Liverpool just play the kids π
I'm from Paris... PSG fan all the way, obviously. But i just realized something... People lied to us !!!!!!! We never won the Champions League... and not on our way to a back to back to win it again !!!!!!!!!! Last year, we defeated City in group stage and then we knocked out Liverpool Aston Villa Arsenal (Then Inter Milan) And this year, we defeated Tottenham, draw with Newcastle and then we knocked out Chelsea Liverpool (Bayern Munich) And maybe Arsenal Hmm, we actually never won the Champions league... we won the FA CUP π€¦πΏββοΈ
