Bordeaux (H) 26 Nov 2015

[Oh Buoy]

Just gonna' throw this out there...

 

That'll do pig, that'll do.

[diamondjoe]

That's fucking 10 times you've told us about Tottenham you fucking leper.

[J-V]

Scrappy but I'll take it.

[Sputnik1]

Skin our teeth there but we are through. Job done and we can rest players now for the last game, which given the injuries and games coming up is very welcome.

[Jairzinho]

That was pretty shite, but we're through so who fucking cares.

[thompsonsnose]

Hopefully we'll be unrecognisable by the time we play again in this competition. Well done Jurgen.

[mouse1989]

Fuck it, played average but we are through

[suzy]

And we're through! Phew

[bossy]

That'll do. Not the best game but a win is of course a win. Onwards and upwards.

[Frankenhooker]

We got the win and are through to the next stage, but that was ordinary to say the least.  No cohesion and seemed to lack passion which is odd for a home European match.

[James Dean]

No idea what we were doing that last half hour. We're through though, so fuck it.

[Ne Moe Imya]

Camera save. Klopp will know why we've gone from ripping City a new one to hopefully scraping past Bordeaux

 

Early Liverpool goal.

 

That's the difference, we're a completely different team when our pressing leads to a goal early and we can play on the break.  It was the same in the good Brendan season, we were brilliant most of the time but if we didn't score by 30 minutes in we gradually fell apart.

[Razoray]

We need a draw to top the group so I wouldn't think the team in Sion will be that weak. Kazan with 3 points in Bordeaux  will pass Sion in to 2nd if we win over there so I'd say Sion might also be happy with the point. 

[Grinch]

Certainly didn't look brilliant for any of that match.  Their was no early goal against Chelsea either when we ripped them apart, actually fell behind in that game.

[Lurtz]

Gerrard: "Benteke also heavily involved in the second goal"

 

Er, yeah.

[Kevin D]

I can't believe we've won the group, we've not played well in any of the 5 games. If the rest of the competition is this shit, we've got a real chance to pick up some silverware.

[Captain]

We haven't won the group yet, even though I think we will in the end.

[Sugar Ape]

[Lurtz]

We'll win the group.

[Gnasher]

Gerrard: "Benteke also heavily involved in the second goal"

 

Er, yeah.

Well he had a say in it.

[Gnasher]

Klopp to a journalist taking his time asking a question: "You wait almost as long as Simon Mignolet taking a kick"

[Anubis]

Back from the match in no particular haste.

 

Satisfactory, pig. Satisfactory.

 

Thought we played quite well for 60 minutes without really finding a telling final ball, bar Mig trying to cradle the ball to sleep and sing it a lullaby,

 

After that we visibly tired, but did a lot of solid defensive work. I hope Moreno is ok as he seemed to pull the muscle at the top of his leg near his arse. Through to the next round - onwards and upwards!

[suzy]

Hahaha

[xerxes]

Just back, in haste.

 

A win, ugly, but a win. Klopp is still undefeated in Europe with us, and has won more games in three , than Brendan did in nine. That’s progress.

 

This is starting to remind me of Euro campaigns of old, doing enough, is enough, and we will improve further under Klopp.

 

Big Ben showed once again that he knows where the goal is, being on the pitch helps. Milner executed his penalty well.

 

Job done, Swansea on Sunday, things are looking up.
