Is it head-to-head or goal difference that decides group?

Head to head, so Liverpool have to win both games and beat Basel by 2 clear goals, just like they had to V Olympiacos in 2004

mada999

jamming from modric.... turned away from him...

mada999

would be nice if he took Ronaldo off... but in fairness he hasn't done much..... prob will score now

Francie Barrett

We're only 1-0 down with 25 to play, let's throw on Sterling, Balo and Gerrard and see what happens. We've nothing to lose and a point to gain.

Saipanne

How does a team with so many AM function so well?

dirkmeister

Kolo is showing some leadership back there.

Played quite well ya, but still doesnt seem Madrid have left 1st gear, seem very happy to be the better team and control and what Liverpool have had 2 shots?..

Anytime Madrid turn the style on theyve look v.dangerous..

Although at 1-0 anything's possible

Pity we'd have to take players off to do this too!

In reality though it makes no difference if we lose 1-0 or 4-0 (aside from any confidence difference) but if we could get 1-1 it would be a big result.

murpho999

Good spell but just feel if we don't get a goal then Madrid will get a second with a quick turn of pace.

Vicxas

So.... Borini needs to play more for us. Great work rate tonight.

super_furry

This has been a really good second half from Liverpool.

Both him and Can have earned starting places against Chelsea.

mada999

3 shots now

Will I Amnt

Madrid aren't at the races at all, Liverpool have a great chance to get something out of this.

Harry Palmr

Madrid are not putting in a shift. Must be hoping LFC just run out of legs

jacool

What a dickhead Ramos is.
Does he want to be sent off more times than Pepe or what?

Liamalone

Ronaldo has been dire tonight

edit: Ah, must be thon hair doo

Work rate never in doubt but his end product is lacking.

niallo27

So Madrid not playing well has nothing to do with liverpool playing well.

michael999999

Come on Raheem!

Vicxas

Toure boss at the back.

Leave balotelli where he is, he's where he deserves to be

Ronaldo not mentioned in last 5 minutes.

He clearly doesn't want to be there and his career is over.

Yeah

Toure has done more tonight than Lovren all season.

mada999

showing ronaldo too much respect there... get stuck into him....... Toure having a good game... a few good blocks

Utopia Parkway

Skrtel was poor there. Should have stayed with Ronaldo. There were already 2 players heading to Benzema.

Francie Barrett

Unbelievable performance from Kolo it has to be said. Thought he would be destroyed tonight, but he has been a lion.

Stargate

In fairness Markovic had upped his game in the second half fair play to him. We are still in with getting a goal back .

Sturridge more so, I felt, tbh. Suarez absolutely caused mayhem, but its Sturridge who stretches the defence.

It's amazing the difference a bit of pressure from a forward can make for the ease of the rest of the team and a threat of a run in behind can do to keep a defence honest.

Boring is the nearest we have till Sturridge comes back.

BMMachine

yeah we are losing but playing better than we have the past month (considering the opposition)

Nope, did you learn nothing last season?

Only real positive from this game has been Lucas, and he'll be dropped for the next game.

super_furry

Early days yet but Markovic really looks way behind where he should be.

mada999

watch them get stuck into Sterling now..

Lord Trollington

For me Lucas and Marko were decent and should start the weekend.

Still rate him above Skrtel as a defender.

Harry Palmr

Ah no Lucashield is off for Gerrard

viper006

Borini tries his heart out but simply doesn't have the pace, skill or ability to be starting for Liverpool. i can't believe after finally getting Cl and we've gone from SAS to borini .

Dickerty

Toure is the ultimate clean-up man! Can has been very good, showing what he has to offer.

Sterling and Stevie for Lucas and Marko is spot on...

D'Agger

Lads Kolo has been outrageous...fair play to the man!

Who'd have Lucas start at the base over Gerrard - he's done well tonight

Keep Stevie higher up
