Pretty dull but we got the points, and after the week we've had maybe that's a good thing.

That's a couple of hours I won't get back. Scoreline is alright though.

Not the most entertaining of games but I've had more then enough excitement this week.

Chakan · « **Reply #123 on:** October 5, 2023, 10:00:19 pm »

Surprised we didn't use Doak at the end. Thought he would have been the natural Salah replacement.

Samie · « **Reply #124 on:** October 5, 2023, 10:00:31 pm »

Toulouse beat Lask 1-0 in the other game.

Good result, bang average performance, second half especially.

This competition is a bore.

Knockouts are fun. Group stages are always a trial.

If we can win the double header with Toulouse we'll have the group won and could then play more kids at least.

Gili Gulu · « **Reply #127 on:** October 5, 2023, 10:00:49 pm »

We were never the same side after Trent went off. Joe Gomez never got into the game at all after he came on, he was a little bit all over the place, but wasn't helped by those around him.

They had so many corners and we didn't win a header on a single one that I can remember. Apart from aerially I thought Ibou and Quansah were very good.

Far too many balls played backwards by our attacking players in better positions than the player they were attempting to pass to, especially after Trent went off.

Haggis36 · « **Reply #128 on:** October 5, 2023, 10:01:41 pm »

Quansah looks a real talent, Gravenberch was the best player on the pitch, and Konate was imperious. Everyone else was very meh. Hope we start to look a bit more interested if we go deeper in the competition.

Wow, that second half was dogshit. I know Jota scored at the end, but I felt that was his worst game in a long time. Think only Gravenberch performed tonight, the rest were half asleep.

Can’t really add anything to that summary. All told very disjointed.

Think if Nunez had buried that chance the floodgates would have opened but clean sheet and top of the group.

Fromola · « **Reply #130 on:** October 5, 2023, 10:02:07 pm »

Game was shite but still good to watch a match away from the horror of Premier League refereeing against us.

No cards tonight, given what we've been subjected to all season for no worse.

MonsLibpool · « **Reply #131 on:** October 5, 2023, 10:02:12 pm »

Not vintage stuff but a win is a win. I see the Europa League as a cheap way to build confidence and monumentum because winning breeds winning.

Let's get this over with and play the kids.

Gerard00 · « **Reply #132 on:** October 5, 2023, 10:02:19 pm »

That was shit.

I mean as a watch rather than performance wise but i guess they both go hand in hand.

I wonder did Jurgen play some of the first teamers to allow them to puff their chests out and show that the last week hasn't affected our flow? Regardless we weren't great and need a much better performance on Sunday.

Still 2-0 and we move on. These games can happen and we won anyway.

masher · « **Reply #133 on:** October 5, 2023, 10:02:28 pm »

Got the job done but that was a pretty rubbish performance. The second half was very frustrating to watch.

Son of Spion · « **Reply #134 on:** October 5, 2023, 10:02:47 pm »

A snorefest from start to finish, but the points are in the bag.

We move on...

If we can get 6 points against Toulouse, that'll should be enough to top the group hopefully.

MJD-L4 · « **Reply #136 on:** October 5, 2023, 10:02:53 pm »

What a shit game!

What these EL group stages are all about though. Get the 3 points and no injuries.

Perfect.

Barneylfc∗ · « **Reply #137 on:** October 5, 2023, 10:03:11 pm »

Finally a clean sheet for Alisson.
Quansah and Gravenberch looked very good.
Beat Toulouse and the group win is pretty much done and dusted.

LiverBirdKop · « **Reply #138 on:** October 5, 2023, 10:03:24 pm »

Flat as a pancake, but job done. Nice finish from Jota.

Clint Eastwood · « **Reply #139 on:** October 5, 2023, 10:03:47 pm »

Tough watch but we won.

Gravenberch is good. Quansah continues to impress.

Red Ol · « **Reply #140 on:** October 5, 2023, 10:03:59 pm »

Made hard work of it, but typical of this kind of European night. All good though.

Quick word on Jota’s goal celebration. It’s not a good idea to let go of the bow at the same time as letting loose your arrow. Like it, but needs a bit of work

Nick110581 · « **Reply #141 on:** October 5, 2023, 10:04:03 pm »

Gravenberch was excellent.

Hope he starts Sunday.

Nice interview from Gravenberch this. Looks like he’s happy to be here

stockdam · « **Reply #143 on:** October 5, 2023, 10:04:19 pm »

I thought the tackle on Szoboszlai was a bit naughty. No replay was shown but it looked worse that Jones’s red…..just because the other player doesn’t get hurt then it doesn’t make the tackle ok.

Comfortably our worst showing this season, so lackadaisical.

Yeah, never mind thd 3 points.

Lubeh · « **Reply #145 on:** October 5, 2023, 10:04:37 pm »

Good win if a boring game, glad for Gravenberch would like to see him, Mac and Szobo plaing in mid together, also nice to see Trent back. 2-0 clean sheet no cards and top of the group. That'll do.

Have to agree regarding Jota. He was absolutely rubbish aside from taking his goal well.

No matter. 3 points and on we go.

Looked like a practice match, boys obviously a bit tired but will take the win.of course their goalie played a worldie against us. Should have been 5-0

Set pieces were weird. They seemed first to the ball at both ends all the time. I don't know if they're just a big side/set piece specialists or we weren't switched on.

A worldie? You miss the first goal?

I wasn’t convinced that Jota loaded the arrow correctly either……..as you said he needs more practice.

He wasn’t great either on Gravenberch’s shot…….the one that Nunez was offside.

Konate, Quansah and Gravenberch all superb tonight.

Gravenberch definitely played himself into the team with Jones suspended on Sunday. He was fantastic.
