Topic: Liverpool 2 - 1 Ludogorets - Full Time Discourse

[Fruity]

If that is what they are going to put us through in the first game then I don't think I'll be alive at the end of the tournament.

[bird_lfc]

Daylight robbery. That was a really sketchy penalty decision in my opinion, maybe lady luck is on our side in Europe this year?

Brief spells where we looked decent but the performance in general was absolute shite.

[MobileBayRed]

I'm not going to live through the group stages at this point.  This was the easy home win, right?

[Dubit10]

3 points and we will improve no doubt about it. Players need to settle in still and they will but im seriously worried about our keeper and Coutinho now.

[spifff]

I wonder what it feels like to support a normal footballteam.

[NealFrom25Yards]

Mignolet and Lovren were brutal. Full-backs excellent.

Overall, the performance left a hell of a lot to be desired...but it's 3 points.

[kennedy81]

We've been fucking found out anyway and that's devastating for the long term.

bit of an exaggeration there I'd say.

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

Id say my neighbours think im nuts. From "nooooooooo no no" to "Yessss yes yes" in a minute.

They probably just think some guy is having their way with you, don't worry

[acezz]

how stevie can be so cool from the spot in those time i have no fucking idea

[elkun]

Moreno is a fucking beast. That last ditch tackle was Gerrard like

[Chig]

European football is back, late drama in Anfield, what's new?? lol

Happy for Mario, his hard work today really deserves it. Simon Mignolet came out when he don't need to for the goal. Reminded me of Sterling's goal against city when Hart was out when not needed to. He need to let his CB deal with it and come out when is really needed. Finally, thank you for not giving up Manquillo and putting it in from the captain.

LADS, WE FUCKING GOT AWAY FROM THIS SHIT!!! Come On Redmen!!!!!

[Butter Keks]

Appears a lot of people including ourselves badly underestimated Ludogorets. Very impressed with their work ethic, pressing and desire and on another night they would of come away with something.

Luckily for us we did the business barely but at the end of the day 3 points is 3 fucking points. Instead of having a go at the lads how about giving some credit to the opposition.

[Upinsmoke]

WTF Brendan should be credited if anything.  Made the change and it got us the lead.

He learnt nothing from the villa game, make no doubt about it, ludogorets are probably 10 times worse than villa.

[rickardinho1]

[swoopy]

I don't like those new lights.

Me neither. They look far too bright, probably for television purposes

[SalifSaysShutIt]

feck me...we just got lucky.
It was never a penalty. We were a crock of shite... Fucking lucky tonight...lol
What has happened?
We were soooo good last season and now...?  We won't progress much in this Champions league and will be lucky to finish in top 5 or 6.
Yuk...

Sorry is this a schtick you do??? Is your name supposed to be a hint?

[Lippy The Lion]

Dogshit performance
3 points tho
Lot of work to be done, a shadow of last seasons team

[007.lankyguy]

Forgot the stress of playing in the Champions League

[Flaccido Dongingo]

Piss poor performance, but 3 points nonetheless, so many passengers in that team tonight, Lallana and Coutinho, Lovren also poor.

[Ski]

#8. Always!!!! Love you like no other Stevie!

[Warks Moustache]

We've been fucking found out anyway and that's devastating for the long term.

A bit of an overreaction I think.

[Skidder.]

I'll give Valdes a piggy back to Liverpool... If not anything else but to get Migs looking over his shoulder.

Still worth bearing in mind that we've been out of Europe for such a long time that aside of the obvious players, this is still a new horizon for many. 

[Shepnois]

Fuck me we were lucky, lets to be honest we were awful. Positives nice goal from Balotelli and our wing backs are very good. Our midfield is terrible.

[Stringer123]

Why are people blaming Mignolet for their goal?

What were Lovren and Sakho on about? We can try a hundred different CB pairings, and I still think that Brendan doesn't know which is his best.

Er, because he rushed out of goal for a ball he had no hope of getting to (because he isn't that quick) and left an open goal? That's my take on it, at least.

Hope we get Valdes in next month, Mignolet is looking like the weak link of the side imo.

[Snail]

Luckypool Penaltyclub.

[conman]

100 CL wins, we hit a milestone tonight

[Twelfth Man]

We've been fucking found out anyway and that's devastating for the long term.

That is a bold statement. But yeah, I think Ludo deserved a draw. A lesson in high tempo pressing. Boy we miss, Suarez's and Danny's running. I think it will come though. Off the ball running will create space for Raheem. We haven't had much of that this season.

[Ma Vie en Rouge]

We've been fucking found out anyway and that's devastating for the long term.

Embarassing.

We're bedding in new players, lacking our main striker and others, and it's early season. Let's see if we've been "found out" in a few games time when we're ripping teams apart.

[Mutton Geoff]

Victor Valdes

When are you joining?

thought exactly the same after they scored.

[Latenight Surfer]

I stopped watching after the 80th minute. Did I miss something?

[God's Left Peg]

Something still isn't clicking, and I reckon it could be a few games yet before it does. It will though.

A win's a win's a win.

Thank fuck.

[The G in Gerrard]

Moreno man of the match

[Zeb]

Well played Ludogorets. Thought they were excellent. We were scrappy, again, and clearly a few players not yet on the same wavelength. Moreno and Manquillo are looking superb all the same.

[koppitekop11]

Getting your first win in CL competition in 5 years is embarrassing?

Oh come on. With hindsight of course you can say it was a hard fought 3 points, but in reality that was embarrassing. I understand its early in the season and of course it idn't gonig to click straight away, but we should be comfortably beating teams like this (even if they did play a great game)

[thelinnen]

Nothing changes even after 5 years out of the Champions League.

We look like half a team without Allen and Sturridge.

[SquirrelandGman]

phew.. we'd get battered against the likes of basel and madrid if we continue like this.

NEEED to be better defensively... and offensively cause we were proper shit going forward too

[laximaginationzzz]

Got out of jail big time

[clinical]

On a positive note. Moreno Manquillo and Sakho are a great foundation for years to come.

Mignolet can't be making those mistakes. 2nd choice when Valdez arrives

[Motty]

Fucking my heart can't take this shit

One bonus is Vinaigrettes are a decent side so might take points off the other teams.

[astowell1]

Heaven above..  Welcome back to the Champions League everyone!

Needed to pull that one off. We need to get our shit together though.
