Dortmund away leg

[suzy]

Great result that - would have taken that before the match. Got the away goal too.

[El Rojo]

Excellent result against much hyped opposition.

 

Won't surprise me if we go out next week, but great that the season is very much alive for another week at least.

[clangers]

Great result. All credit to the players and manager. Not seen us that organised since Rafa.

 

More than I realistically thought we'd get to be honest, delighted. Klopp certainly knows how to nullify his own (old) side.

[Oh Buoy]

I enjoyed how I think this game played out. 

 

BBC live commentary is a cunt. 

[Grinch]

That'll do.  Parked the bus second half and killed the game succesfully with Dortmund not even creating all that much.

 

Will still need a lot of luck to go through here if next week plays out the same way.  Roll on the days when Klopp has us playing like the team in yellow and not plucky underdogs.

[Anubis]

Excellent nights work. Henderson poor but we looked more balanced with Alllen and Can in the midfield. Well done boys. We've got a fighting chance next week.

[Ne Moe Imya]

- Away goal

- Didn't lose

- Origi looking good

- None of the four on a suspension got a yellow

- No injuries (assuming Henderson's OK)

 

All in all, about as much as you could have realistically hoped for.  A win would have been absolutely brilliant, of course, and we had the chances, but I'm very satisfied with that.

[Red House]

Good result. Still gonna be a struggle at Anfield, but in with a proper chance now.

[FanchesterCity]

Good result that. Still 50/50 at Anfield I'd say, but no reason to fear them.

Proper chance of winning this trophy now.

[G Richards]

Well, I predicted a score draw tonight. At face value we have a slight advantage with the away goal, but it's not really much of an advantage as they can come to Anfield and beat us. 

 

It is game on. We rose to the occasion. They were good, as we knew they would be. 

 

We can count ourselves a little unlucky that we didn't get a second goal, as that would have given us an advantage, but we can't have too many complaints. 

 

1-1. Fair enough. Well played lads. 

 

This is a cracking European tie. 

[Hand Shandy]

At 70', the bottlers started to bottle - hoofing it right back to Dortmund, 'here, you take it' passing. Poor quality physically and, why not?, spiritually.

Oh stop moaning you miserable sod.

[moof]

I can't fucking wait for the 2nd leg. Going to be epic.

[El Rojo]

And Allen for Henderson from now on, surely?

 

The fall-off from the 2014 Henderson is depressing. He looked a real player then.

[Dr. J]

Hell, yes, we can win this - Anfield hasn't had a European Night like Thursday next in a long time.

 

Klopp showed his quality here, again. Sure he knows them, but set us up perfectly and got the performance he wanted.

[Saintslfc13]

I'll take it. Could've been more but an away score draw in Europe against decent opposition is always a decent result.

[Joe Strummer]

I can't fucking wait for the 2nd leg. Going to be epic.

Anyone care to swap a Kop ticket for a more expensive Main Stand one?

[Hand Shandy]

Actually feeling a bit more confident about this now, for no reason I can give you.

 

Think we'll score and draw 1-1.

Called it...

[andyj]

no matter  what the score next week i think we can all be proud of the lads tonight  alot expected us to get turned over 

[an tha]

Fair do's to the lads tonight.

 

Dug in, stifled them and created a fair bit.

 

A good effort and result.

 

Still gonna be hard as they will surely be better in next leg but can't fault us overall.

 

We do make a fucking unreal number of individual soft errors though - giving it away and losing the ball too often, rarely seen a team who have so many error prone players... we got away with a few tonight.

 

But they worked hard, and overall can't knock them tonight - could maybe have won it with more clinical finishing.

[ZonkoVille77]

Happy out.

[ben48]

Well played lads,against a very good side.

[Arl arse]

Pleased with that, good game management from a top manager.

[El Rojo]

Sevilla, Shakhtar and Villereal looking like 3 of the last 4 at the moment.

[Arl arse]

Bad injury to Hendo

[Frankenhooker]

Henderson sounds fucked then.
