Reflecting on our exit from the Europa League, what are your opinions on this rule?
Personally it is unfair on whoever has to play at home in the second leg. Take tonight as an example, we were beaten 1-0 when Atl were at home, so they come to anfield and are themselves beaten 1-0, all's fair and even. If we draw in extra time it should be a draw, we were not given an extra 30 minutes at Vicente Calderon Stadium to score an away goal. So basically, to win, we had to lead by 1 goal and they only had to draw.
How's that fair?
Also bear in mind that for every game except Unirea we played at home on the second leg, so we've always been disadvantaged if the game was to go into extra time.
