How much do you think Trent enjoyed this one? S7 E21

Welcome dear listener to the 21st episode of the 7th season of First State Kopites. I’m Paul and today I am joined by Justin and Daz. The Reds follow up their win over Aston Villa, with a really strong showing against a full strength Real Madrid, who are shit BTWPart one - Beating Real MadridThe game:Built on Saturday’s performance. Determination, spacing, getting Mo involvedMidfield looked powerful, Szobozlai, Mac AllisterStat about Courtois making 23% of his champions league saves against us since the start of the 2022 final (2.19 v 0.92 2022 final); 2.51 to 0.45 yesterday. Bradley: Trent has never been on the winning side in this fixture. Joke about Vini Jr being confused after coasting in training against TAA.And Freddy Chiesa - oofEkitike - lots of running. At times shows us his youth.Florian Wirtz:Wenger basically said he believed one of the issues we’ve had this season is that Slot promised to play Wirtz as a 10 when we convinced him to join so felt unable to move him from that position even when it unbalanced the team. Clearly once things had gone off the rails it was easier for him to then go to Wirtz and explain why he has to move him.I thought that he played really well out there. As long as he is given more license a flank might free him up more. Robbo was essentially an auxiliary left half with the positions he was taking up. Left a lot of real estate for Virg to cover but it looked really good when we were in possessionBig picture:Football teams who want to play football.Bayern won 16 of 16 and are now the best team in Europe. Real Madrid won 14 of 16 and apparently are a bit rubbish.Wrap up:Sets us up for City5 days gives us a chance to go again. They have a days less rest…We’ll be back with a review of the City game.
