Trabzonspor 1-2 Liverpool (1-3 Agg): In game and Post Match Phew!!

Martin Kelly got my MOTM vote, F***ing cracking prospect, he needs to play in the prem!!!!!!!

Glenn Johnson also impressed for me.

If we had Nando , Stevie and Jova we could have stomped them with 6 - 0

oh thats cheered me up no end 
nothing better than stuffing the turks

Voted Kelly MOM.All heart ,and never stopped giving his all will be a really big year for this lad.

Great result.

Some good performances but also raising some worrying questions.

Is Poulson good enough?  Should we have let Aquilani go?

I think the answer to both is no.

I hate to say it,but im gonna,we do look a very average side.

Put Gerrard and Torres back in, BAM! Quality side once more.

starting 11 for wba?

The conditions and team weren't strong.. Thought we were impressive second half, yet I can't help but agree with you.

I hate to say it,but im gonna,we do look a very average side.

Why?
That was no where near a full team so it wasn't that bad to be honest. Yes we could have done better but surely all that matters is that we won.

Job done in the end. Onto tomorrow's draw.

and i have to say that The Turk team wasn't that bad even though not comparable to our first team but gave us a pretty Damn tough time.

Oh we do, we do.
Oh we do, we do.
Oh we do, we do!
Ohhhhhhhhhh Trabz fans we hate you.

I'm not one to really rub it in too much usually.

Buuuut after all you Trabz with Crabz fans coming on here and telling us how we'd be beaten...

Well boom motherfuckers! We played like sh*t with a fringe squad AND still won! Hahahahajaha!!!!!

F**k YOU ALL, TRABZ! F**k YOU AAAALLLLL!

cole is suspended.

Very poor first half again from the side, seems to be a early trend of Roy Liverpool era. Second half we came out a bit more positive and attack them at pace and got our reward with a couple of goals to kill off the tie.

As far as players performance Kelly was the outstanding one, bombing up and down the left flank and Cole show the odd flash. Lucas/Poulson combo still looks poor, Aurelio looks well off the pace and Ngog who worked hard up top has got to learn to hold the ball up more instead of taking on 3 defenders every time.

Wasn't great but most important is we got the name into the draw and look forward to see who we play in the group stage.

Not sure about that, i stuffed a turkish bird once and she stunk of grease.

The team honestly does look better with Kelly and Pacheco playing and I'm not overhyping the big prospects. They genuinly do.

Oh Trabzonspor
Is F***ing sh*t
Oh Trabzonspor is F***ing sh*t
For the Tit the Fanny and In Europe
Oh Trabzonspor is F***ing sh*t!!!!!

if we had pacheco and babel from start we would have won big time

They're trying to impress. The only ones doing so..

A good result in a what was always going to be a tough match, but I can't help feeling if we keep playing Poulsen and Lucas as a centre midfield pairing we'll always lose the battle in the centre of the park. They are both quite negative players and neither look that good going forward.

Tough conditions with a compromised side for many reasons. Showed good character and kwalitee to come back. Dani proved again that he has the vision we lack in other areas of the squad. Well done Red Men. You did us proud

good result
