Europa League QF 2nd Leg; Liverpool (1) vs (1) BVB Dortmund; 20:05, BT / Setanta

Stefan Freund called it before the game when he said Sahko and Lovren are the weak links in this Liverpool team. He forgot to include Moreno though.

Vicxas

Only 35 mins gone. My god

BorneTobyWilde

That looked like an easy chance for him
I think our name is on this game just need the first and it will come.

Hook Lallana please

Milner and Can have been largely passengers

Can has been ok, Milner not so bad going forward but I would prefer to have Allen instead of Lallana there for more balance.

livinginkorea

Ah come on lads...hit the bloody target!

GreNoLi

Chances are flowing.

****ing hell, some ball. Put Lovren on corners

Odd game. Liverpool have most of the control now but dortmund still look like they could score at any time

They're just so dangerous on the break. They really are some side.

As good as Dortmund going forward, they feel weak at the back - it'd be worse only for Hummels playing like he has a cigar built into his mouth.

dogbert27

This team needs a 25 year old Stevie Gerrard unfortunately.

Have we hit the target yet?

We're making plenty of chances - Dortmund aren't actually playing all that well aside from in our 3rd (of course, that's all they need)

We just can't put it away. That ****ing Lallana disaster will haunt my dreams tonight!

josip

Liverpool can't play the ball past the Dortmund front 2...

Osmosis Jones

No added time with 2 goals?

citytillidie

2 goals and no extra time ?

Knex*

I'll never know what Joe Allen has to do to start under Klopp, tbh. Better get himself and Sturridge on at half time

monkey9

We need a second half of Olympiakos proportions.

Rayne Wooney

Kagawa is miles better than Coutinho to be fair

All hype

ERG89

At least Origi did well.......

He meant injury time at end of the half, I assume mate

Regardless of the final score games like this can be character building if the team responds well as they have, at the moment Coutinho is the one showing the least unfortunately.

Milner is shocking.......

The inclusion of firmino ahead of him tonight is shocking were getting ripped apart every time Dortmund come forward

Haven't you learned your lesson yet.

GreNoLi

Weigl looks quite handy indeed, type of player Loew should use to freshen up the national team.

Utopia Parkway

Liverpool have actually created a lot of chances over the first leg and first 45 minutes of the second leg but only one goal is scant reward for it all.

Yeah, I only realized after I had the same reaction myself (on a delayed stream).

BorneTobyWilde

Hope they call rafa at halftime.

Is Aubemayang still crap, seem to remember a few neutral fans saying it last week.

Good first half

Hopefully Dortmund score a few more, although not getting the hype that surrounds them from a certain few

A good side, nothing more

Osmosis Jones

We should have it back to 2-2, wasted chances will haunt us

MonkeyTennis

well that escalated quickly

Always a disaster in central midfield. His close control isn't good enough under pressure. He can be OK wide at times but head scratching how he got picked ahead of Allen tonight.

Flint Fredstone

Enjoyable game of ball. My god, Dortmund are awful at the back though, loads of chances for Liverpool if they had a half decent player on the end of them.

3 goals without reply is a massive ask and it could get messy if Klopp throws caution to the wind. Definitely more chances in it for Liverpool, Sturridge should really be coming on at HT.

Gbear

If Dortmund come out and dazzle you with their football fair enough but they just turned up ready to play and it took Liverpool being, to all intents and purposes, knocked out of the tie before they stepped onto the pitch.

It's irritating.

Massive gaps in defence, offside line all over the ****ing shop and Dortmund players being allowed to stroll past 5 and 6 of our players at a time.
I can't believe a Klopp side would start so lethargically against an opponent like this.

We've been grand since then but you can't just give teams a 10 minute head start to do whatever they like.

Milner is a necessary evil in games where we're outmatched and need to win physical battles but the sooner he stops playing for us because we can replace him with someone who can do what he does and also looks like a professional footballer the better.

Like last week he has looked totally out of his depth. And with the captain's armband on and all.
Fine against Stoke. Not so much against the best team we'll play all year.

Was one one poster I think and he is a utd fan.

Milner can't play in a two and is better wide. Lallana has been brutal and needs to be hooked. Allen on for him

Muahahaha

Origi is going to be epic - far better than that Martial fella.

I believe he only cost €10m too, you could buy five Origis for the one Martial

Dont play injury time in first half of europa league.

Agreed. Stick him out wide and Allen in center. More control of the game then. They are over running us and then our defense is just hoofing the ball back to them.

Hmm... Wanted changes made.

Osmosis Jones

We need changes ffs

NukaCola

Dortmund have so much space to run into......

Should have had a go
