My Champions League Final Experience
Liverpool v Real Madrid
28th May 2022
I am a 43 year old Liverpool Supporter and have been a Season Ticket holder since 1992. I would class myself as an experienced match goer. I attend most away games, plus the odd European game. Saturday

Simone Inzaghi has maintained Antonio Conte's style of play at Inter Milan in a virtually identical manner. They are a very well-drilled team, but it's nothing Liverpool aren't used to. In fact, I'd argue that Liverpool are heavy favourites over the 180 minute tie.
MEGA-THREAD!

Excited to announce I've joined @TheAthleticUK.
For my first piece I unpick the reasons why Harry Maguire is more than a defender for #MUFC, despite his recent form.

@Knox_Harrington I got motivation to make this after watching the latest "Trends" vid. I've adjusted every team's xG and xGA to be on a per corner basis, which makes it easier to see how good teams are at attacking and defending corners.

#Alisson’s #PremierLeague form is an absolute joke! 🔥
He’s faced 7 1v1 situations so far & saved all 7! 🤯
My model predicts an average #PL GK would’ve conceded ~4 goals from those situations by now! 👑
How long do we think he can keep the 100% record? 🤔

Great thread by the Swiss Ramble (as always)
Many Liverpool fans are unhappy that their club has not bought more players in this summer’s transfer window. This thread looks at where the money has gone, reviews the #LFC business model under FSG and explains why the approach is less restrained at other clubs.
