Here's my two cents on it. I personally think that "Internet management" (for want of a better phrase) has become a bit tedious to be frank about it. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with discussing team performances or the performances of individual players. Fans have been doing that for as long as the game has been around. I'm all for that. What I'm not for is reading a ten paragraph post that dissects team selections and micro analyzes every single tactical detail to the point of ad nausea. Because here's the truth; no one on these boards is a top flight manager.
Some might think they are, but in reality they're not. What they're typing is (depending on their agenda) nothing more than their interpretation of a 90 minute performance. They then position the goal posts to suit their agenda before proceeding to coat their idle assumptions with articulately presented phrases so that their postulating conjecture appears credible. <--- Kind of like what I just did there, only I freely admit that I'm a pretentious cock with too much time on my hands ;D Some are so good at it they even establish a reputation of authority. Give a man a reputation of being an early riser and he can sleep until noon
Here's the thing. We (the fans and internet managers) invariably get to see the team play once, and on occasion, twice a week. We don't see the hours that they spend on the training ground. None of us are present in team meetings. None of us know what the manager says in individual conversations with his players. None of us know what he tells his coaching staff. None of us know what his staff report back to him. None of us know his short term, mid term, and long term plans. None of us sit through hours of footage analyzing opposing teams. I could probably list 100 things that none of us are privy too. Its all off our radar, hence any assumptions that do get said on here, regardless of how articulately presented they may be, have an extremely limited basis. Its kind of like assuming that you know advanced algebra on the basis that you understand basic addition and subtraction
That being said, they are some very good contributors to the site who post some excellent content without going way over board
But as far as our manager making significant tactical changes goes, I honestly don't know. I'm not the manager. And even if I devised a theory that might help us to steamroll the league, I still have no possible way to try it out or test it, unless I play football manager on a computer. Which of course still isn't remotely close to the real thing, is it?

I asked Mostar on Twitter and he said he doesn't know where you'd get the full 90, so can't see it being anywhere.

Cheers BlackST. Ironically I've found each half on Dailymotion, posted by Mostar!! Managed to find a way to download off DM, so all good. 20 mins here http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xqn9y4_liverpool-...

Right. I am going to call it. Liverpool 3 - 0 Real Madrid.
Honestly, I feel the Liverpool players will put in an extra 20% tonight because of the occasion and the opponents. It is a European night and I am hoping that will lead to them showcasing some of the great football from last season.
