Topic: EL: USG 2 v Liverpool 1 Amoura 32', Quansah 38' Puertas 43’

[Wabaloolah]

90 just five minutes added, not enough really going by all the stoppages but doubt we care too much

[Wabaloolah]

91 Scanlon booked for pretty much a nothing challenge

[TepidT2O]

91 Scanlon booked for pretty much a nothing challenge

He looked as bemused as me.  Maybe just about a foul?  But a yellow?

The officials have been pretty weird all game from the obviously offside goal to the way they have judged some of the fouls.

[Wabaloolah]

93 reds trying to get in behind them but Gakpo loses the ball on the right side of the area

[Wabaloolah]

94 Kelleher up for the corner, Gakpo has a shot blocked, USG scramble it away and the ref blows for full-time.

Disappointing end but who cares, EL to bed until March

USG 2-1 Liverpool

[DelTrotter]

Arsed, not exactly gonna be remembered when we are celebrating at least a double next year.

[Samie]

KloppOut!

[Bincey]

Some of that reffing was shite.

[AllyouneedisRush]

So our 2 defeats in Europe we have been done by VAR officials....

Onto Sunday...

[smicer07]

Young lads did well overall. Glad they're knocked out, they were a horrible side.

Just like our 1 defeat in the league.

[classycarra]

Fairly sure neither linesman knows the offside rule. More awful VAR in europe today for their goal that stood and the long long wait (post sub break) for disallowing their goal too

[Jwils21]

Shite. Play like that on Sunday we’ll only scrape a 3 or 4-0 win. Drop the bloody lot of them.

[gerrardisgod]

Kelleher going up in a dead rubber

Thought Bradley done really well, after a struggling first 25. Not much else.

[Nick110581]

The pitch was a howler.

[Fruity]

Nothing game and the most important thing is no one got injured. With that said it would have been nice if a couple of young players shined and sadly apart from Quansah it looked like men against boys.

[Clint Eastwood]

Shite ref and dodgy decision for their first goal (I'd like to see this followed-up).

The very definition of a dead-rubber, but I thought the senior players were pretty poor. Anyway, that's Europa League done with for the foreseeable.

[Chris~]

Nice for Quansah to get his first goal after he was fucked over against Toulouse

[smicer07]

Their bloke was still offside, even on the tenth viewing of it.

[Thepooloflife]

Yep, awful - he booked two of ours for nothing fouls and that fella manhandled Bradley got away with it...shite.

[stockdam]

A bit feeble all round. Couldn’t control the ball and easily dispossessed.

I’m sick of watching teams foul us every time we attack and the referee not doing anything.

Beaten by VAR. I’d like them to say how they didn’t spot a clear offside for the first goal……what’s the point of them turning up?

[Fromola]

A bit odd in that the result flattered us but we lost to an offside goal. We created nothing and they had a glut of chances - the XG difference must be a lot more.

Kelleher you could argue kept the score down or cost us the game with the goals.

Like watching a PL game with the bullshit officials. The Anfield games have been good in the EL but the away games were a massive chore to watch.

[CowboyKangaroo]

Oh no.

Anyway.

[lgvkarlos]

Lost count of the amount of times we got caught in possession, way too many touches.
Our football at the moment is very slow and predictable, 1st eleven aswell.
Not sure how the first wasn't offside.

Was it offside? There didn't seem to be any lines drawn.

We're top mate.

[disgraced cake]

Good group stage overall, comfortable winners and no injuries tonight plus a good experience for the young lads.

More experienced players let them down. Gakpo has had quite a few terrible games this season and Jones continues to struggle.

Little worth worrying about though, we've done all we've needed to do so far.

[12C]

Some of that reffing was shite.

He would have made a shite rugby ref.
Tackling round the neck is illegal now.

[jillcwhomever]

On the bright side I think Connor Bradley didn't do his chances any harm today and Quansah as usual was class.

[red1977]

Shite. Play like that on Sunday we’ll only scrape a 3 or 4-0 win. Drop the bloody lot of them.

Yep, maybe it's time to turn to the rest of the squad. Could bring that Salah in or Virgil van watshisface maybe.

[PeterTheRed ...]

No one injured, and that is what matters. Couldn't care less about the result in a dead rubber game ...

[Wabaloolah]

Their bloke was still offside, even on the tenth viewing of it.

yeah seemed like they thought it couldn't be offside as the ball was played from their own half when the attacker was at least two yards offside when the ball was played, shocking decision

[Thepooloflife]

Was it offside? There didn't seem to be any lines drawn.

Eh ? you could see with the naked eye.

[Rosario]

Looks like a clean bill of health which was the most important thing going into the game. None of the senior players that did feature really stood out, but it’s a hard on the players going into any game where the result doesn’t matter.

[Trump's tiny tiny hands]

The ref was a right prick. Just let their players get away with dirty cynical shite all night but one slight mistimed challenge from our boys and it was a foul or yellow. Yes they were willing to run and fight more than us but the boys could’ve done with some fairer officiating

[lgvkarlos]

We're top mate.

I know, just an observation.

[jillcwhomever]

The lack of lines is always a bit suspicious...

[Number 7]

Not arsed with the result but the onside goal was scandalous. If ever there was an example of why VAR should be scrapped that was it.

[TipTopKop]

Loved the team selection and letting the kids have a go. Delighted for Quansah.
