Watching that back, how bad is Lovren?

Not the first time those words have been uttered.

What's the difference in £ making the knockout stage as opposed to going out in the groups? As that's a nice chunk off his repayment with that save. 

Saw a headline from the Echo earlier saying minimum of £11M.

Matip was brilliant. His forward passing was key to us beating their press.

 

A World Cup finalist is now competing to be our third choice CB.

 

This is who we are now.

 

I approve.

[Anubis]

To be fair to Lovren the ball skims off Fabinho’s head (who’s about two foot away) so it’s not easy to anticipate as a defender, but easier for Milik who is going to take a chance to get in at the far post regardless of where the ball goes.

Confirming your prejudices 

Well, I wish he would stop doing that. I might be more open to an argument that he's not as bad as I think he is if it weren't for him constantly proving that he actually is.

[Anubis]

While we’re at it, honourable mention for Matip who was pretty fucking solid again tonight.

[Tyler Durden]

Made with the result but that's one of the most corrupt referee performances I can remember

Fuck off you bent cunt ref.

 

Allison and VVD could burn down my house and I would gladly hand them the matches.

 

Why? They don't need them, they've just burned down your house; they clearly already have the means of ignition. Don't burden them with your fucking matches. 

[Oh Buoy]

It's boss being boss. 

[Trumo]

Not sure what that Napoli fan's story is. Either he'd travelled to the game off the back of some bad news back home, or he's just a complete melt crying his eyes out with another half still to play.

[El Rojo]

Brexit behaviour to hate on Lovren on a night like tonight.

[Carvalho Diablo]

That ref tonight was a massive fucking cunt, must've  been on the take and his yellow on Big Virg was just incredible.

 

If  we had one single ounce of the sheer snideyness and outright cuntishness which Napoli have in spades, then we wouldd be head and shoulders easily the most dominant side in Europe. Thank fuck we haven't.

Probably realised he wouldn't be able to take his anger out by jumping on a moped and slashing at people's arses

Would have been a red if the ref saw this angle...

I can only hope that Mehrtens doesn't take a tumble on the way to the airport or the ref might increase it to a red. That was a great tackle, clean as a whistle.

I mean he wins the ball so cleanly before that. Like, yeah it's excessive on VvD's part and Mertens is unlucky, but if that's a red then that's a massive shame.

He's a Camorra member who is in over his head. He's part of the gang holding the referee's children and - despite the ref's best efforts  - he realises he now has to kill them.

[Numero Veinticinco]

A photo doesn’t do the situation any justice.

Personally, I hope he does because he’s a little shit.

Proof that still photos prove nothing.

 

Van Dijk got the ball, then his foot and Mertens' ankle came into the space where the ball had been. 

 

Not even a yellow. 

[Anubis]

Martens kicked Van Dijk. He should have been carded....

[Carvalho Diablo]

You realise that if we create that many chances against the Mancs then Mourinho will be sacked and sectioned and we will be jailed for rape, battery and buggery.

 

Just saying.

Rome rather than Naples behaviour, no?
