If ever a moment illustrated the drop off in our bench, it was the sight of Origi given two goes to control a dropping ball and it still went out of play. Compare that to Salah killing every ball played to him stone dead, every time.

At least him and Chamberlain are actually putting in a shift recently.  They’ll never have the quality but it was unforgivable how they’d stole a wage for quite some time.

A satisfactory nights work. The group of death now really is the group of death for the other three teams.

I watched the Manc game last night and thought they must've been in the group of narcolepsy.

Ox has played well. This run of games has done him no harm.

His weaknesses are still glaring, but he does bring a bit of penetration and power, and also tracks back very well. Has improved of late, if he keeps it up he may challenge Henderson for a starting place.

In fairness to Chamberlain, he has also been injured for some time.

[Rushies tash]

Good to see Elliott giving the young lads a hug at the end there as well.

[Anubis]

We have more points than the other three teams in the group put together.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Much more like it in the second half.

 

And with Hendo and Millie back and Ox looking a bit like the player we want him to be, our midfield is looking less scary.

[Bjornebye]

I'll tell you what lads and lasses.... we've absolutely bummed that so-called group of deaths head right in. 

 

Going into the final game of a 4 team group we are 10 points ahead of second place. I'm sure I uttered the words "get it bummed Reds" when the draw was made. I didn't expect full on Beyonce on all fours go for it lads fill yer boots. 

 

Get in Reds. We are boss. 

[Carvalho Diablo]

That CL group table is just taking the piss.

 

In this group of death, the Mighty Reds are the grim reaper.

Strategic yellow from Milner there?

 

 

Looks like it:

 

1. from the first match in the group stage, players and team officials are suspended for the next competition match after three cautions, which did not result in a red card, as well as following any subsequent odd-numbered caution (fifth, seventh, ninth, etc.).

 

Reset only after the quarter-finals.

 

Earned himself a free shot at someone. What a pro.

I like Minamino loads of energy and never stops running, Just a pity he never grabs his chances always seams a yard slower than everyone else.

[Shitty Arse]

Great to see some of the midfield casualties rising up from the dead. It’s not looking quite as dire in there now is it? If Thiago stays fit and gets a good run of games and builds a bit of consistency, him and Fabinho are going to be massive for us in the second half of the season.

[El Rojo]

Atletico going through would be the best scenario for us, as they could easily take out Chelsea or Manchester City if they find a bit of form between now and spring. 

[suzy]

Job done!

[Anubis]

Robbo looked like a man on a mission to get his place back.

[dockers_strike]

Nice win boys. 2-0, should have been 3 but for a Premier League type VAR offside. Good run out for some of the squad players, good full debut for Morton. Shame Milner picked up a booking so isnt available for Milan.

He doesn't lack effort or energy just not quite up to the job of being a top class player.

Definitely. Noticed that Klopp pulled his snood up before speaking to Milner at the final whistle and Milner started laughing at whatever he said.

He's a nice footballer rather than a good one.

True but I wish we has bought someone else

[Bjornebye]

Look how made up Thiago was when he scored. I fucking love him. Praying we keep him fit because he's truly world class. 

 

Thiaaaaago

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thiago Alcantara

Michael Owen, please just STFU. Embarrassing yourself.
