Our defensive triangle of fab Phillips and kab have been brilliant.

Four weeks to get people fit and firing before the Quarters.  Let's just fucking do this, Reds.

Some tricky games around the quarter final dates - 6th/7th & 13th/14th April.

 

Arsenal away before the 1st leg, followed by Villa at home before the 2nd leg

A fantastic shout the night after the Italian champions have been knocked out by someone from a pub league...

...10 points off the top of said pub league, about to be won by (checks notes) Sebastian Coates

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Watching it back and delighted with the win, but holy fuck, we could have been 4 up at half time. If the front 3 can all just improve their finishing a bit we'll be so much better overall, especially if we play with an actual midfield again.

For all the talk about the defence I am sure it would make interesting reading to see the overall xg figures for league games since Palace.

Guess which dickhead forumite put a bet on liverpool to win 2 0 but put it on an away tie(h lives in halewood)

[Colonel Bumcunt]

Top class performance, they all looked on their game, though Leipzig don't have much of a striker threat.

We haven't really been creating fuck all either though. The amount of sides we've barely had a shot against.  We aren't clinical though even klopp admitted that.

The biggest improvement last night was the opportunities we created, we might have missed most of them but it's a step in the right direction.

Any chance of Henderson, Gomez or VVD being available for the next round?

[El Rojo]

Also, is it an open draw on Friday?

Yeah last 8 onwards you can draw anyone.

Great piece by Jonathan Liew: 

 

'For much of his time in England, Thiago has cut a luxuriously lost figure in Liverpool’s painfully stretched midfield: a master patissier in a world where everyone is eating dog food straight out of the can.'

Big shout out to Jota for enabling our front three to look dangerous again too.
