[Red Raw]

Maribor equalise 1 - 1

edit: sorry, internet takes longer to get down here.

Is Ibe cup tied?

[Chakan]

Is Ibe cup tied?

I think the relative question is when isn't Ibe cup tied?

[SwordInYourGut]

That could be a huge goal by Maribor in the context of the group.

For Sevilla maybe. Lets win this and win the group.

Maribor got the draw, redemption 😀. Come on Liverpool.

nice 

[Zoomers]

Yep, the fact that we can rest everyone in our next CL game would be a big boost for us. Get it done reds.

Schroedinger's Ibe.

[nico 8]

Regardless of tonight's result, a draw against Spartak sees us through. Just win it tonight and our last game is academic. We would top our group as well. A Spartak win tonight and a win against us would have seen them top the group. So a draw turned out nicely for us.

[Crimson_Tank]

Schroedinger's Ibe.

Smooth cat reference.

[Crimson_Tank]

Spartak 1-1 Maribor 

Well then, this got a little more interesting...

[Red Raw]

nice 

- playing S.V. Zulte Waregem in Europa on thurdsday, apparently.   

[thisyearisouryear]

When was the last time we played a CL knockout game?

[rob1966]

Spartak 1-1 Maribor 

Lovely.

[TheShanklyGates]

When was the last time we played a CL knockout game?

The quarter final against Chelsea in 2008-09 I would assume.

[Mighty_Red]

Expected changes I guess. Keep our focus for 90mins and we win this game, just stay patient.

COMON U REDMEN!!!

[sms1986]

When was the last time we played a CL knockout game?

Not sure, but in a few hours time we'll be looking forward to the next one hopefully!

[thisyearisouryear]

The quarter final against Chelsea in 2008-09 I would assume.

Yeah, was just confirming on wiki. The 4-4 game against Chelsea was our last CL knockout game. Almost 8 9 years ago.

Edit: I suck at drunk math

[Ken Doral]

Just a point and we're through then, yeah? Barring a 7 goal loss to Spartak in game 6. 

[Robinred]

Karius for Mignolet, and Gomez for Trent - just two changes from Saints game.

Anyone seen the bench?

Remember that and what I was doing during the match, and my emotions as each goal went in like it was last week - and I've got a shit memory too.

Mental that that was our last knockout CL game. Who'd have thought at the time? Most thought we'd be up there for another few years atleast, then Rafa got sacked after one poor season and Hodgson came in. The rest is history...

[24/7]

That must be ours cos here's the Seville Bench - they can't be that good for only sixty quid eh?

[sms1986]

Karius for Mignolet, and Gomez for Trent - just two changes from Saints game.

Anyone seen the bench?

#LFC XI: Karius, Gomez, Klavan, Lovren, Moreno, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Coutinho, Mane, Salah, Firmino.
#LFC substitutes: Mignolet, Milner, Sturridge, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Can, Solanke, Alexander-Arnold.

[Robinred]

Hmmm... where’s Capon when you need him?

[Chakan]

That must be ours cos here's the Seville Bench

Well we do technically take our bench with us...

[Red Raw]

. . .

Never been convinced by six slats at the back . . .

[The Final Third]

Biggest game of the season so far..real excitement starting to build now. Let's use our new found "maturity"  and see this game out with a favourable result.

   C'AAMON REDMEN!!

[24/7]

Who needs #sausages when you can have #oranges!

[El Denzel Pepito]

This is a huge game for the squad and their development though. Champions League away to a tricky side - a side that beat them in their Europa League final in Klopp's first season. If they can show their mentality well away from home, it'll be big for this team. Getting a result and winning the group would be a great boost.

[Kop307]

Amazed he hasn't made more changes.

Surely he'll want that midfield and front line against Chelsea, meaning he's asking all 6 to do 3 games in a week.

I thought tonight suited Emre Can & Milner to come in, perhaps rest Henderson.

Mane just back from injury, you could have used Oxlade Chamblerain. This insn't a must win game. Salah is being asked to do every game.

When does Sturridge get a loook in?

All the talk online and places like TAW is Klopp wanted a bigger squad so he can rotate. He seems to fucking loathe the idea of rotation & using subs.

No need to go so strong here, we've got the squad to rotate yet he seems hellbent on running players into the ground.

[Mozology]

Just a point and we're through then, yeah? Barring a 7 goal loss to Spartak in game 6. 

I thought finishing places were determined by the results between each team and not by goal difference.

So if we don't win tonight a defeat to Spartak knocks us outta the CL.

Good grief, you get up on the wrong side of the bed today?

By the way, he consistantly uses 3 subs each game.

Only if that point is gained against Spartak. Draw with Sevilla and lose to Spartak - we are out unless Maribor beats Sevilla.
Just win it tonight and send a message to the rest of Europe.

Fuck man seriously! Don't remind me, hope we get back to those heights. If I remember correctly we had some 3 semi-finals+ in 4 or so years, including 1 winner and 1 runners-up medal. I think we met Chelsea some 4 times in 5 years in knockouts, beating them twice and losing twice.

Getting up on the wrong side of the bed is actually how he normally gets up!

[newterp]

also subbed the entire front line in the soton game from 70min on if I recall correctly.

This. Every day of the week. We can only be concerned about what we do in our game at the time it's played. Klopp knows this. He doesn't play the odds, he plays the game.
