happyoutscan

This is sh*te, time to wake up.

Charlie19

Safe hands

Grayditch

So ropey sometimes.

whatawaster

It was a hospital pass to Gerrard though he too should have been more aware

brevity

Smooth, Enrique.

hadepsx

Pull it together lads ffs

Charlie19

ffs very lucky there.

Harry Palmr

Markovic with a few bursts of speed.

I am pie

Feel for Gerrard, no business being out there tonight.

kingshankly

Hilarious stuff from sterling shocking stuff

Never said they were. But Basel are poor and i fully expect you to win. Not a theory either. Must win game

They beat Chelsea home and away in the group phase last year hardly a poor side.

Really he has to be rested more. Would much prefer to see him come on with 20 minutes left if he was to play tonight. Would make a good impact sub I think.

Augmerson

Playing with fire, a better side would have punished us by now.

The milk truck in Fr Ted is quicker then Enrique.

I'd haul him off now before damage is done

passremarkable

Balotelli has serious control

Everyone except himself and Rodgers can see it.

Sir Gallagher

Enrique, just a baloon.

Super-Rush

What a horrendous free kick.

passremarkable

enrique is stinking the place out tonight

Charlie19

Is Moreno injured or is Enrique seen as a more defensive option?

kingshankly

Ludogrets beating madrid
Enrique us poor

Lord Trollington

With very little effort and a bit more composure we could actually get something from this tonight.

We really are not retaining possession at all.

That's the most sensible thing I've ever seen Balotelli do.

whatawaster

Great stuff from Markovic there

Utopia Parkway

Ballotelli doing quite well holding the ball up and bring others into play. Other players need to get close to and beyond him though.

Enrique is the liability

happyoutscan

Our set pieces are bloody muck.

OwaynOTT

Mario, Lazar and Manquillo all playing well, the rest...

Nib

Swirl it?

Shut up, George.

Harry Palmr

Gerrard can't even fire off a free kick. Nervy stuff.

A more imposing senior manager would have dropped him. This is a big test for BR, he rehabilitates him or he rests him. Carrying on waiting for him to hit form is no solution.

Gerrard is a very emotional player, he has not recovered pyschologically from the run in and pathetic world cup.

Gerrard and Enrique have been atrocious so far.

I think some here are watching a different match to me.

Liverpool seem to be doing fine and will improve when they settle

Those results said more about Chelsea than Basel. Basel won those two games and still didnt get out of a group with ludogrets and schalke.

Really been impressed by Manquillo in his LFC career so far. Plays well beyond his years.

Saved our bacon a wee while ago making an important header in the position Skrtel should have been in.

5starpool

We've had some brainless moments in defence already, just as well they haven't taken advantage yet.

Maybe they will but as of now some of them are poor.

When you are under pressure you make mistakes.

Gerrard has been under prssure from the word go and is feeling the pinch.

Sterling is the worst player on the park

Madrid are level

Basically we looked unsettled?

Perhaps because are senior player & captain is not playing well and the core of the team not stable.

5starpool

Alan Smith really does not like anything Balotelli does.

keith16

Can someone please give an update on the Madrid game as this seems to be the thread for it.

bur

No midfield. Henderson can't be effective in a midfield two, it's only when he's that auxiliary third midfielder that he looks good.

livinginkorea

Mario sure gets fouled a lot

Harry Palmr

What the heck is that about?

Fuhrer

The Referee handing out mints?

Enrique defiitely poor, he's not mobile enough.

Gerrard gets criticised here all the time no matter what but he just got the weight of free kicks wrong.

They are the away team don't forget.
