UCL - Liverpool v Ludogorets

[Josef Svejk]

Real may spank us, if tonight is anything to go by.

 

People were far too confident about our European campaign, in my opinion. This is no Benitez team, which is fine as far as the league goes, but in Europe... well, we look very naive.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Made up with the result. Got to be honest a bit worried about the performance, there's an issue with the side and Rodgers needs to tweak it. Moreno is ace.

[Arl arse]

Got out of jail there, we look so disjointed it's untrue.

[Jairzinho]

Full backs were good.

[Josef Svejk]

Manquillo and Moreno big pluses tonight.

 

Last season, a number of us were saying our full backs and midfield needed upgrading. The former has certainly been achieved...

[Anubis]

Did Manquillo a disservice. I thought it was Borini. Not that Borini played badly. In fact I'd have him starting up there with Balotelli if Sturridge is still not fit.

Stevie being honest in the interview

[LFC 6 Times]

Manquillo and Moreno are boss, delighted to see mario score but Sturridge is by far and our way our most important player and joe allen will be key in Europe. Stevie balls as big as a house, not for a second did I doubt him.

[Nightcat]

Still early days for this season. But the defence has been consistently shite for the past 3 seasons.

 

Valdes would be a handy signing right now.

[BCM]

Got out of jail there

 

Should be the subheading of the dvd of that match. Move on to the weekend.

[lamai]

New keeper please

[magicrat]

Robbie puts it in perspective, Madrid would have bummed us tonight 

[stringvest]

Bringing two players on who during the close season were rightly written off as not good enough. Is worrying. Suso must be proper shit in training for Lucas to get on ahead of him. Unless we can go through the vast majority of the season without injuries, we are going to struggle.

[Koptimus Prime]

Boss result in the end but hard fucking work.

 

A draw there would have knocked the confidence even more.

[BCM]

Stevie being honest in the interview

 

 

Stevie Knows, Must start clicking soon.

[Dr. J]

We suffered in midfield, again. Lucas?! A lucky win - 1-0 at home in Europe we have just got to shut it the fuck down and end fucking  of. We even gave up a corner seconds after the penalty!

 

That's just fucking poor. And it's not about being made up because we won, luckily. It's about thinking like a fucking champion which we most certainly did not look like.

[Arl arse]

The passing needs working on, too many long hopeful balls for my liking. No clean crisp passing, no runs beyond the defenders.

[Anubis]

Is Suso in the CL squad?

[Paco]

3 centre midfielders nowhere near their no. 10 when he threaded that ball through.

 

rubbish.

[Moo]

Seemed to me like Lovren was looking for Mignolet to come out so he caved and went for it, bit cowardly from Lovren there.

Thought we played okay, miles better than against Villa, loads more movement and desire. But the manager really needs to look at himself and his coaching staff and assess if he's got the right people around him regards defensive work, I can forgive us being vulnerable in open play, but not from set pieces, that's absolutely a coaching issue that needs to be addressed.

[Torvald Utne]

Some farcical comments earlier in the thread about spanking this lot 4-0, how's that for clueless?!

[Joe Strummer]

I'd start Borini on Sat up front with Balotelli. Drop Coutinho, hopefully Allen is fit again.

[BolshieBastard]

Haha. Can just imagine all the blue shite fans and Chelsea fans being appopleptic about that last minute pen.

[Paco]

Is Suso in the CL squad?

he was on the bench tonight.

[lamai]

Still early days for this season. But the defence has been consistently shite for the past 3 seasons.

 

Valdes would be a handy signing right now.

Agreed. Lovern has been shite
