Villarreal 1-0 Liverpool: In game and Post match debates

Although I understand the reason for Firmino being in for the graft I'm not sure he warrants being ahead of Studge on current form.

But I thought Origi was sh*te at first so..

CMON lads watching game in vegas..away win please with clean sheet.CMON REDMEN

Gone for an open game and 3-2 To the Redmen BEFORE seeing the team sheet, but sticking with the score and hope we can sink this 'Submarine' BEFORE it crosses the Channel!

You play your best team against the opposition you are facing which sometimes means your best player might not play.

Simple.

A disappointingly conservative selection. Had hoped he'd be bolder and go for the jugular by playing Sturridge, given the comparative form with Firmino. Nonetheless, COYR!

My thoughts as well, Studge has been on good form recently and Firmino to be frank has been gash since he came back from his injury. Fingers crossed tonight the night he gets back to a bit of for form. Either way it is a bit of vote of no confidence in Studge. BUT we have had some very good away performances with Firmino in that false 9 role this season.

This team would press high and that's a good thing. 2 problems I see, defending from set pieces conceded by Lucas or Milner AND attacking crosses whipped in by Milner (unless we get a striker in)

I still go for a win. No draw!

Dont expect many chances and would think our best striker would need to be end of them which is not the case . Got to go with the boss on this one. Away goal please

fast approaching May and still in an important European competition this is what the club is all about. Loving the the "tax dodgers on tour" flag. Come on You REDS

Lets hope Firmino gets his mojo back , he seems to thrive when he's playing up there with no strikers to think about.

we have goals in this team its all about how well we can defend tonight

I don't get this one from Jürgen.

Sturridge over Lallana every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Come on Reds!! The pressure tonight is even more than Dortmund, hope the pressure doesn't get to the lads.

Enjoy the match lads and lasses.

Come on Liverpool!!!

Only going to be  able to watch about an hour of this...hope it's  sewn  up  by then!!!

We win tonight we'll be in the final. The return would be a formality.

Strange to start Firmino/Lallana ahead of Sturridge. So, probably Firmino will score. And Lallana too.

C'mon!

We win tonight we'll be in the final. The return would be a formality.

Steady on lad

We win tonight we'll be in the final. The return would be a formality.

Nothing is ever a formality in this game.

when did we ever do anything simple so I am not expecting an easy night or in the return.

Come on redmen.

think its a very good line up, smart move to play firmino upfront. we gonna defend from there, and there is no secret that firmino works hard and has good pace on him. quicker then stu? atm i think so.

know that skrtel hasnt had playtime but i personally would have him raŧher then toure, so shame about sakho. him and lovren were making a good partnership. origi and can are big miss for us.

We win tonight we'll be in the final. The return would be a formality.

villa real are a pretty good team, they have a striker who scores and a team that works hard for each other. not going to be easy.
