Genk (H) Champions League 5/11 - 20:00

[Jairzinho]

Well, we won.

 

Play like that at the weekend and we might win a corner. I guess half of them won't be starting.

[Pidge]

Got to wonder how not crying out your arse about a 2-1 victory makes someone a 'superfan'...  Salah should have scored (definitely should not have passed), but job done.  Good warm up for the weekend.

[niallers]

Why are we doing this to ourselves? We keep doing brilliant up to the box but our finishing has been fucking awful since Sheffield United away. We've been poor and made way harder work thanx that needed to be. 

On the biggest of plus sides, we won. I think we need to beat Napoli to be honest, a draw and we'll more than likely need to go to Salzburg to get a result, a draw or a win, depending on their result against genk.

Up the nerves are a jangling reds 

[Harry Squatter]

Frustrating to watch but job done and no injuries whilst resting a few players. 

 

Keita  should play at Aston Villa on the 17th.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Played some nice stuff in the second half but not clinical enough in and around the box, apart from a great finish from Ox. Kind of made those last 15 minutes a bit uncomfortable, not because of how the game was panning out but purely down to the scoreline. We had one daft moment where they got in behind Gomez and I flapped a bit and another shot which Alisson did the bizz with. I honestly don't want Gomez anywhere near the pitch against City unless we are 4-0 up. The other game ended in a 1-1 draw so just go to Salzburg and go for the three points, although a draw would see us through to the last 16. 

 

I know the opponents were poor but Ox looks like he is getting back in the groove which can only be good for us, he certainly knows where the net is. Origi didn't disappoint and i thought TAA was very good as well. Salah looked to be getting back to full fitness, just a bit unlucky at times. On to City, and I hope they get kicked all over the park tomorrow. 

 

Edit: Just realised we have Napoli at home next. Just beat the racist bastards and we are through. 

[Stickman]

Was always going to be an awkward game with what's to come Sunday . Just get the win which we did now think about City .

[ZonkoVille77]

There are some weird cunts on this forum but @The Guest is the up there at the very top. 

[Jordy Brouwer]

Ox's long range shooting is definitely a tool we need in our locker. 

 

Keita marginally better than usual but still not showing what he needs to imho.

We haven’t sat back. Genk are on the verge of going out and so they’ve had a go last twenty. And our passing has been pretty good. Calm down and have a cup of tea.

We couldn't beat their press for a few mins and given how we love doing things the hard way,it wouldn't have been beyond us to let them in again, which they nearly decided! Its just frustrating we can't put games to bed like we should be doing to make games boring. I've had loads of tea. Can't ever stomach anything more solid anytime we play

Alcohol helps, definitely takes the edge off.

The issue tonight was Salah and Origi to a lesser extent wasting chances,  The result was we flattered a bang average side

That tall lad in the middle ran the show in the second half.

Was very good. Bossed Fabinho last 30 mins 

[Baltar]

Thankfully that's over. Such a casual performance tonight but relieved we have the 3 points. 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Did enough without really playing that well. It's good that AOC looks to be coming into a bit of form. 

 

Also, I'm assuming it's down to Klopp, but it's really pleasing to know that we'll generally come out much better in the second half on the occasions we've had a relatively poor first half. 

 

Mentality monsters. 

[Bjornebye]

We won. We are now top of the group. 

 

Anyone who moans about tonights game after this post deserves a negasaki. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

TBH our senior 11 are due a game where they find their shooting boots, I'd rather it was against City than Genk, plus we got the 3 points without stretching ourselves. 

[an tha]

3 pts - ultimately all that matters.

 

Hope we show more intensity, show more composure and have better shape when defending and are more clinical on Sunday.

Try Joke Hole on the other channel.  Utter imbecile

Beat Napoli or don't lose in Salzburg. Not too bad a position after losing the first game. 

[Strontium]

I thought Salah was decent, finishing a bit off, but that goes for most of them. Hopefully we're just keeping our powder dry for Sunday.

Its not but shame Napoli didn't get the win as a draw would have done us both. 

 

Don't want to have to go to Salzburg and get a result the way we are leaking goals. Be nice to rest some players game 6

Great, a game against our bogey side and another against a team less predictable than a magic 8 ball! 

We turn up against Napoli though and we'll beat them.
