      Can’t work out if Nunez is becoming incredibly unlucky or incredibly wasteful or both

      Probably both but there's no doubt he's a poor finisher.

      Well it did tho. How many manager would you think have risked it? The majority would have gone with one down to second leg, and everyone would have criticized if we let another one in. On here and in the media.

      He thought about what he wanted, and took the chance with four strikers, knowing they are playing on counter.

      He needed a goal, threw all his strikers on and hoped for the best. Nothing more nothing less.

      It worked.

      But let's not dress it up as some sort of genius plan.

      Actually they are tho. That was a difficult decision he took. We are 1 down, there are very few managers who would put 4 strikers in first leg, knowing Fulham are playing on counter.

      Klopp makes mistakes, but today he got a very difficult and risky decision right.

      In the first leg? Knowing we have another whole game left. He took a risk and it work brilliantly.

      How good would Nunez be if he could finish. Has made a difference though since he came on, but easier to score from that Bradley cross.

      In the same way you could say he got his starting line up wrong.

      That's harsh. Don't think he done anything wrong with that particular chance.

      Brilliant save.

      Exactly buddy he took a risk and it paid off.

      Just as easily could have backfired but it wasn't great coaching or genius management.

      It was what it was. Stick all the lads in for a while, hope we get a goal and then regroup.

      Just not working, we have no threat.
      Lack direct attacking pace, but we are still in it. Changes are needed though as I can see Fulham scoring more as they look more likely

      Nunez and gapko on for grav and ell, let’s open this game up and see who has more fire power in a very open game

      We need one of those wild wins

      I should do this for a living

      All things being equal we will certainly take that but the tie very much in the balance.

      Said I'd take any win before kick off so I will certainly take that. Think we got a bit lucky though - there was a wild 10 minutes after the subs where we were too wide open on the counter and Fulham should have got a second goal.

      Fulham will have to play differently at Craven Cottage and I think that will suit us more.
