We also won’t be starting with anything like that 11 every week.

 

We started with a completely different 11 against Wolves and that was a lethargic first half too. Kind of the point I was making - the personnel changes, the first half performance doesn't.

Darwin a very close 6. (Probably better than Endo as a 6 aswell)

[Kevin D]

A win in spite of Klopp’s tactics.

Fixed.

[niallers]

Can't keep falling behind in games. It'll build belief but it'll bite us in the arse soon. Up the always going behind reds

[Bruce Spanner]

Three at Lask, three at Lask, God Almighty, three at Lask.

Tsimkas was brutal tonight.

 

Anyway we won a nothing game on a shite pitch against dross whilst playing badly for most of the match. Other than that it was great .

He was truly awful others were not to good either it’s alright talking about changes but that should not affect control or easy passing.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Conceding first, sucker punched is just happening too much, a carry on from last season. Mixed team mixed bag but players got rested and we won so all is good. Tsimikas reminded me of that Take That video where they start normal fresh faced then slowly add clown make up.

I'll be surprised and disappointed if Klopp survives this.

 

He should be on half pay, lazy bastard.

[waddy78]

Villa lost aswell, we were poor but atleast we won.

[Pete]

Klopp’s 50th win in Europe apparently.

Yeah just overtaken Rafa.

When I wasn't in the pub, we conceded a goal.

When I was in the pub, we scored three.

 

There may be a lesson there.

[Trumo]

I wasn't far off with the starting line-up. I'd predicted Joe rather than Bajcetic, and Diogo rather than Darwin. I expected that we'd look a bit scrappy as the players won't have played together and would lack rhythm.

 

Pudding of a pitch, an opponent that went at 100mph and a ref willing to let a lot of fouls by them go while penalising us for anything and everything, meant that we did not give a good account of ourselves in the first half. It was very much like playing in the early rounds of the FA Cup. LASK even had players who could launch throw-ins.

 

We sorted our shit out in the second half and LASK ran out of gas, but this early sloppiness is giving us a lot to do in too many games.

 

3 points at least, and an outing for the purple third kit. The other sides in the group played out a 1-1 draw.

True. It's the bench winning games atm as we have started really badly in a number of games so far.. 

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Diaz was a constant threat in the second half.

Imagine being a defender in a not-very-good team and finding yourself up against Diaz, Nuñez and Salah.

I've reached the point where I don't give a fuck.  If we score more than the other team over 90 minutes, who cares what order the goals go in?

 

In a weird way, this wacky start to the season could benefit us: if an opponent gets an early goal, it won't necessarily boost their confidence or dent ours.

I'd pull a hamstring as soon as possible.

Nice to see USG & Toulouse draw.
