If they sit back and try to defend they'll be counting on Man City missing their chances.
Unrelated, today is a big day for MLS, as Toronto FC and RBNY have a shot to make the CONCACAF Champions League final an all MLS affair. That would be a big commentary on where MLS is related to Liga MX. It would be a big step.
In situations when goals are needed his teams can generate endless crossing opportunities, but those crosses end up targeting a striker who is tiny like Gabriel Jesus. I always wondered what he'd be able to do if he had a huge striker to provide the Plan B option to convert these crosses.
Moments after Silva raps one solidly off the post, City have a goal by Sane called back for offside. Think it was the wrong call.
When a player is behind the goalkeeper, there needs to be two opposition players between them and the goal when the ball is played forward. Offside is always misconstrued as being in line with the last defender, but the actual law states the attacker needs to be in line with the second last defender (the goalkeeper being the last defender)

any part of the head, body or feet is nearer to the opponents’ goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent
This issue is that you can’t be played offsides by a player on the other team. If the ball came off Milner (not really debatable), and Milner intentionally played the ball, Sane doesn’t need any players between him and the goal.
People bitch and moan about Spurs being a one man team Â
With Pep even coming out and saying they are the Tottenham Harry Kane's, well the same can be said about this Liverpool team with Salah. He's carried them this season.

But the way I saw it Sane was on side on the original cross. Karious (sp?) punched the ball out and it deflected back toward Sane off a Liverpool player (Milner?). With that the case, shouldn't it have been legal?
One of two things happened. Either the linesman thought the ball was played back in by Jesus, or they determined that Milner did not deliberately play the ball.

Thanks for the explanation. Probably a moot point with the Salah goal, but the post game presser ought to be interesting. I'm not calling shenanigans, but evidently Pep and this ref have a bit of a history.
As a Spain fan today is a good day. The Barcelona players will enter the World Cup with some rest. So will Silva. Just like in 2010. Now if Juve can score four at the Bernabeu...
Then City scores. I was not very happy. Talk about being tight. I was more nervous than a virgin on her wedding night. But they came through. Firmino scores a record tying 9th goal and Liverpool breaks ManU's scoring record. Now it's time for a little Ballantine's 17 year old. Lovely stuff. Up the Reds.
Best center back you've never heard of. Pretty sure Chelsea regrets taking Rudiger and not spending the extra money on #44.
Funny how things work out - was just remarking over the weekend how disinterested Manolas looks in Serie A compared to when he plays in the Champions League and definitely for the Greek National Team. Lo and behold, he scores and shuts out Barca.
Liverpool's back 4 won this quarterfinal with City Â
Lovren was immense tonight and has grown in confidence with VVD's arrival. Trent Alexander-Arnold was the best player on the pitch in the first leg and Andrew Robertson, the Scottish left back bought for 8 million pounds, didn't put a foot wrong against Sterling tonight

As someone who watches a lot of Spurs, I could very easily make the argument that Eriksen is actually their MVP.
That being said, City -1.5 odds were way too good to pass up

Pep's doing his job today, but I don't know if the players will do theirs as long as De Bruyne keeps playing in such a withdrawn role.

Could have happened last round if Chelsea had an ounce of finishing ability
What an outstanding player.
Well, both of their teams are going to win the EPL and La Liga, respectively. Basically guaranteed trophies right now... ;)
Raheem is about to win a trophy.
