Can you actually post something about your team or even anything got to do with the game tonight without mentioning Man United

You are the one fixated with United

Do you actually get the point im trying to make

Look over your last posts.....

YOU are a Liverpool fan who is managing to bring your own match thread off topic

They same thing the rest of your Supporting members are complaining about all the time

You are a prime example of what your own supporters are complaining about

It was an observation based on watching the match tonight, you should look at your own posts in utd thread and utd match threads, lots of liverpool references there. Fixated?

Was never going to be an easy game.

Often harder to play against an unknown quantity than teams who are almost always in the CL and go through the motions taking it for granted - the likes of Leverkusen, Anderlecht, Olympiakos, Galatasaray and Benficas.

I'm not trolling, first goalscorer and anytime are typically within 90 minutes post match unless its bet in play and depending on bookies they may not payout I have been stung before for goals in added time

That's nonsense, injury time is always counted in the 90 mins. Id like to hear how you were stung?

Injury time goals are included in 90min bets. Well, have been the past 20 years since I started sticking on football bets

Were Ludogorets any good or was it just a poor Liverpool performance?
Rodgers said they will take points off the other teams, they will hardly trouble Madrid?

So you're posting in a match thread and you weren't even watching the game?

They have pace but little or no cutting edge. Had a few chances to win the match last night and wasted them. They were unlucky not to get a peno in the first half, a clear fowl from Lovren - if you compare it the soft peno Liverpool got in the last minute..bad ref decisions.

Ultimately a howler gave Liverpool the opportunity to gain that soft peno which saved them from embarrassment.

When Ludoforets come up against Madrid & Basil I can't see them getting results.

Playing Liverpool at home would be there best chance at getting something out of the group.

What has that got to do with anything? I haven't commented on the game. Weird...

Can I not ask a question about the game because I didn't watch it?

Doubt they will take points off Madrid but I could see them taking points off Basel. Maybe even Liverpool in the return leg.

They were a much better side than I thought they would be. Have a fair sprinkling of Brazillians, couple Spanish and a Dutch lad. Along with a mixture from eastern Europe. Hadn't really noticed them until they won the penalty shoot out to get into the Champions League but last season they beat PSV home and away and Lazio. So definitely no mugs.

That said it definitely wasn't a good Liverpool performance.

Cheers, all I wanted to know. I've never seen a second of them play in regular time, just that shoot out.

Well, i have to say, im enjoying how sick United fans are after piping up last night all over the shop on twitter and elsewhere. The joy lasted what? 60 seconds? :pac:

Ludogorets were much better than i thought they would be although after their perfrormances v PSV and Lazio last year they shouldnt have been underestimated.

Liverpool's only issue is a few injuries and a fair few new players getting to know each other. That's something that should 'clear up' over time

Maybe i am in the minority but as a United fan i want Liverpool to do well in the champions league. Most of the squad are not used to the midweek travelling and extra games and it stretches the squad. This gives United an edge when pushing for 4th place.

Not cl but they've been in Europa before. Tbh I normally don't mind pool doing well but the carry-on between fans here last season was pretty petty.

Big difference in the Europa where you can generally rest players where the standard of opponent is poor. Big difference in the quality in the champions league where their are no easy games and you can't afford to rest players.

The likes of Saturday when Sterling was rested and they were toothless and lost to a poor Villa side at home. Games before and after Europe are going to stretch a squad when you need to rest players your best players from time to time.

He thinks man United won't make 4th. With di Maria, rvp, falcao, blind, mata, de gea, Rooney.

Not sure how that is funny, because it would be pretty hard to not get 4th or 3rd with those players, along with another transfer window coming up.

Just leave him off.

What's probably hard to understand for someone who wants to read about this match is that Utd are being discussed.

Was looking forward to reading this thread today and it's just about a team not involved in the match let alone the competition. Frustrating


The game wasn't great but 3 points is all that matter .

While not discussing the game i don't see the problem with discussing the competition in general and it's effect on the season ahead.

Comparing to some of the tit for tat drivel i have seen the last few pages i don't see much wrong with discussing the impact of the competition on Liverpool's season.

It's an interesting one really. Its 6 extra games, spaced out over 3 months or so? In some ways with the new signings that have been made, extra games could be of benefit. I think it can really affect your season if you get to the knockout stages. On the evidence of last nights performance, that isn't a certainty!

How is that insufferable?

Would you still think the same if any other team apart from united had those players? Or are you just trying to get a dig in?

Imagine if Arsenal had those players, because people think that because of Ozil and Sanchez they are dead certs for 3rd?

Insufferable in terms of the extraordinay confidence you have in finishing in the top four.

I'd like to see how you guys get on against a proper side before making such bold predictions. Beating QPR is no barometer of anything. Spurs beat them 4-0 also and were thumped by Liverpool in their next game!

I think your chances of finishing in the top four have improved dramatically by signing Di Maria and Falcao but we still don't really know where United are.

It is spaced over 3 months but still it's 6 games where your playing 3 games in a week and you have to rotate players.

It comes down to where with injuries and resting players where in games without Sterling or Sturridge can you go and get 3 points.

Can Markovic, Lambert etc step up to the plate on tough away games after having a midweek away game in Europe.

It's obviously going to be more difficult for Liverpool and as a United fan i think it benefits us.

Isn't that precisely what pool went for with the chewy Louie money.

I think its just too early to predict how Liverpool will cope with it. There were 6 new players in the side that lost to Villa and 5 last night. You have to expect it will take a little time for it all to gel.

But you are probably right, it will be more difficult, I'm sure that has been the experience of most teams who are new to it.

I was thinking. There's a little bit missing on the 5th cup furthest to the right, the part between the bottom and the main body of the cup. Cop on and hold it up right the next time :P

Nah didn't even attempt to get tickets which is good as I'm not around for it anyway. Basel away the only other one I'm going to, 2 weeks time.

In terms of last night, I'd imagine there was a different feeling watching on tv, few people in work said it was pretty boring, and I can see that, but was pretty tense for me and I kind of like those games.

On Ludogorets, was very impressed. Pressed well and very tidy in possession, lots of good quick passing through the middle and always looked a threat on the counter. I thought it would be like that for first 20mins and fade but they are no mugs, kept going to the end and I hope they do well in their other games (bar us in Sofia).

Liverpool weren't great admittedly, and plenty will say that we should have hammered them just on the basis of being a much bigger club. And while I agree, in this instance I think they do deserve a lot of credit. That's not shifting the blame, it's credit where credit's due.

For us Lovren and Mignolet were caught out badly, a real shame. I'd nearly start Skrtel next game (he's back right?). Lallana also poor and Coutinho hot and cold, he should stop shooting.

Borini was excellent when he came on I thought (and I don't rate him!). 2 Italians on the field for Liverpool is scary but he did well. Balotelli was decent too, difficult role to play, took his goal excellently and his Kop song is great! Sterling didn't see enough of the gal until he moved into the centre, which is also a shame as Moreno was really on form going forward and there was a 10/15min period near the end of first half when nothing was going to that side.

Gerrard is the perfect man to take the pressure penalty, but was strange he's given some of his free kicks to Henderson. Not just the deep ones near the halfway, but further up he wasn't taking them. But his movement is great. I'll make a bold prediction and say that I still think he'll be playing in our midfield in 2017/18 season.
