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

Thought tactically we were very good, managed the game well but for one lapse that cost us at the death, We'll do these at home.

Klopp got it wrong tonight, very hard to argue against that. It's one thing putting Sturridge on the bench but it's another thing not putting him on at all when they weren't really offering much at all in that second half. Always run the risk of the opponents nicking it when you play for a 0-0.

Still, we're in the tie. No way will Klopp get it so wrong two times in a row. Sturridge will play, the rest of them will have a different mindset to tonight and Anfield will be absolutely rocking again. We'll get it done.

Believe!

I had real hopes for this lad but he has really gone backwards

If he had put the effort in, I wouldnt be so furious. But you saw Klopp giving him a bollocking half way through the second half for not tracking back. And he rarely did so.

Drop Ibe completely I'd say, and put in Ojo. Sell him in the summer.

We can score three at Anfield. Anyone thinks otherwise?

I don't feel too bad I was pissed off that 90 mins of hard work was ruined but I can see us destroying them at Anfield

me I think it will be 4 or 5

me I think it will be 4 or 5

Yeah. This.

I can see us scoring 4 or 5 against these

That's the issue right there. Why didn't we try to score at least 1 of those this game? Would have made it a lot easier for us.
Still, it's Liverpool at Anfield, so of course anything is possible.

Klopp's refusal to bring Sturridge on cost us the game tonight. It remains to be seen if that decision has cost us the tie. No goal threat whatsoever during that match then brings on Benteke in the dying moments who does F**k all.

Don't think so mate. They were pretty good in defense. Think we may have to settle for 2 and ensure they don't F***ing score.

my conclusion is he is a thick c**t nothing else makes sense

Got to admit Klopp got his tactics wrong he should have seen that they were there for the raking after the first half. An away goal would have been priceless.

But how stupid are our players with 2 mins to go pressing so high up the pitch. Completely brainless for so many experienced players including Lucas, Milner and Lallana.

& just how much did we need against Dortmund?.. Exactly...

0-0 away in Europe would have been a good result, 0-1 ain't a deficit that we will struggle to overcome...

There's a reason a game like Dortmund was special. They don't happen every week. You don't consistently turn around 3 goal defecits.

Pragmatic tactics that came within seconds of working.

Sadly I think we could have won this game

That was not pragmatic though. There were better ways for us to get a result.

5 mins of Moreno stupidity from not taking the lead and being out of position.

Moreno had to do everything on the left side due to Ibe's poor performance.

Don't think so mate. They were pretty good in defense. Think we may have to settle for 2 and ensure they don't f**king score.

I have got 50p that says we will score 4 or more.

It's only half time. There's 90 more minutes. Why are people complaining?

Because if we finished them off here, we wouldn't have to go to Anfield and score 2 for every one of theirs!   We had Sturridge sitting there doing nothing, what's Jürgen saving him for?

Had Frimino's goal gone in off the post & had Moreno squared it to Ibe we could have had a 2 away goals..

me I think it will be 4 or 5

Why not go for 4 or 5 tonight though?

Joe Allen missed a sitter early on

Klopp's refusal to bring Sturridge on cost us the game tonight. It remains to be seen if that decision has cost us the tie. No goal threat whatsoever during that match then brings on Benteke in the dying moments who does f**k all.

Sorry, but Benteke hadn't had a chance to do anything. He had been on the pitch for three minutes. If Sturridge was ill or wasn't fit enough or whatever, then fair enough, I understand not bringing him on. Benteke should have come on earlier if that was the case though.

Much the better side in the second half but we allowed the match to turn into a funfair after that excellent save by Mignolet - no thanks to Ibe's who pathetic, feckless attitude caused that moment of the match. We nearly score moments after that and there's a feeling of no control in the game - clearly favours the home side in these circumstances and they took advantage.

Not that I want to blame Ibe for causing that moment but he needs to have a long hard look at himself. He didn't do enough tracking back, Moreno doing all the attacking and tracking back on the left. Quite frankly he looked like a complete fool in comparison to 10 other players who played decently.

Impotent, feckless - pathetic with an air of self pity as well. Wouldn't be surprised if Klopp ditches him in the summer to a Championship club.

Why not go for 4 or 5 tonight though?

because they are a good team at home and we needed to keep in the game.

Why couldn't we F**k up earlier in the game ! It's the timing of the goal that is annoying. They didn't offer F**k all, till the last 4 minutes. Throw the kids in over the weekend I guess.

I have got 50p that says we will score 4 or more.

I don't bet mate, but loser has to put the others name and " was right" in their sig for a couple of days ?
