95 - We have some of the ball for a change. Sterling tackled as he tries to run down the left.

Allen invites a lot of pressure by dummying his pass from the middle of the park twice, before hoofing a long pass into touch.

96 - Ball down the right for Sahan but he can't control it. Bit lucky for us that, there was plenty of space for the hosts to attack.

Can looks to play it forward from the middle but there's nothing happening so he goes back and we knock it around.

97 - Moreno finds Lallana (our axis of creativity since Lallana came on), he beats the defender but the ball bounces out off his leg as he tries to turn into the box. Frustrating.

98 - Allen tackles but we can't keep the ball (feel like I've written that about 100 times).

Ba is offside as the ball is played into him in the box. Good call.

99 - Allen gives it away, that's criminal. Played out wide to Ba, shoots hard across goal and Mignolet parries down into the turf. The ball bounces into Skrtel, and he volleys away over his head.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #125 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:06:03 pm »

100 - Can is down, Beşiktaş play on, Tore drifts across the edge of the box but thankfully his shot is tame.

Commentators are saying cramp. The replay makes it look like more of a muscle strain, he went down as he ran. But he's back on his feet.

Need to keep him fit, not worth the risk!

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #126 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:06:39 pm »

101 - Can still receiving treatment and we're down to 10 temporarily. Thank goodness we have one more sub.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #127 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:08:05 pm »

102 - Beşiktaş try to carve something out but a loose pass gives us the ball back. Can is back on... and is booked for diving. Pretty blatant too.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #128 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:08:55 pm »

103 - Another rare attack, Sterling plays a long ball to Sturridge, and Daniel tries to play him into the box. Would have to be a perfect pass and it isn't.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #129 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:09:26 pm »

104 - Players seem to be having a breather. Will we use our final sub?

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #130 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:10:38 pm »

105 - 1 minute of added time. We pass it around, seems like we're trying to get to the break intact. Eventually Lovren hoofs it forward and we lose the ball. Decent pressing to win it back but we can't fashion a chance.

HT ET

Beşiktaş making a sub, Karim Frei coming on for Sahan.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #132 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:11:56 pm »

Lambert on for Sturridge. Sturridge limping, too...

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #133 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:12:41 pm »

105 - We're off again.

Crimson_Tank · « **Reply #134 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:13:37 pm »

Shout out to JerseyKopite for handeling over 90 min of comms.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #135 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:14:19 pm »

106 - Beşiktaş want a freekick. Robust from Lovren but he was playing the ball, bounces off Tore for a Liverpool throw.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #136 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:15:20 pm »

107 - Lallana aims for Lambert but it's eye-of-the-needle stuff.

The players looked shattered after 65 minutes so who knows how they're feeling now.

Another Beşiktaş move is ended by an offside flag.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #137 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:15:57 pm »

108 - Sterling is flatted by Opare, and we have a free kick in a good position out wide... Fingers crossed, RAWK.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #138 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:17:11 pm »

109 - Lallana to take... All the big lads in the box, very rare chance for us and Bilic looks nervous.

Delivery is very deep and too high for Lovren. Poor delivery, really.

Sterling finds Lovren who tries to cross but... well, it's Lovren. Goal kick.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #139 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:18:33 pm »

110 - Sterling looks absolutely exhausted, losing the ball meekly out left. We get everyone behind the ball as Beşiktaş try to counter.

Toure tackles Ba neatly, and Manquillo is there to shepherd the ball away.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #140 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:19:42 pm »

111 - I think I'm right in saying that no-one on the pitch has scored for Liverpool in Europe this season. Tell me if I'm wrong.

Opare burns Can down the left but the 'Rolls Royce' recovers with a brilliant challenge, even winning a goal kick as the ball bounces off Opare.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #141 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:19:59 pm »

Good news! Everton are 0-1 down at home against Young Boys...

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #142 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:20:48 pm »

112 - Again Lallana is looking around for a pass but not finding many willing recipients.

Tore drives down the left wing, tries to cross but Toure does well to block for another corner...

Allen has been invisible all game, really poor, no presence.

Not entirely true, he has played a few poor passes gifting the home side the ball... $:-\$

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #144 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:21:46 pm »

113 - Tore crosses, headed away. Crossed back in, headed away.

Lambert holds it up, again, and again, but no-one goes to support him and eventually he almost gives it away. We clear.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #145 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:22:23 pm »

I'm too busy to read messages but I'll make an exception for PoP

Quote from: PhaseOfPlay on February 26, 2015, 08:21:19 pm

This is the same as the Chelsea second leg. We've put a big target up front, needing a goal to secure it, and we're steadfastly refusing to use him to create an attack. Beşiktaş have nothing to worry about as long as we insist on passing it around

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #146 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:22:59 pm »

114 - Ba is the Beşiktaş outlet again, picking the ball up out right and firing over the bar.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #147 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:23:34 pm »

115 - Beşiktaş simply look as if they have another gear right now. We look exhausted. Ba rolls another shot wide.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #148 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:24:39 pm »

116 - PoP is quite right. Lambert has had more of the ball in midfield than he has up top as we continue to try to pass it up the pitch on tired legs.

Sterling tripped out on the left and we have another free kick, and another chance to cross.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #149 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:25:47 pm »

117 - Cacophony of boos around the Ataturk as Can prepares to take the free kick.

AWFUL pass, cleared.

Ball is pumped back up top, Lambert gets a flick on but can't find a teammate.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #150 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:27:03 pm »

118 - Finally we seem keep to use Lambert's height. Allen fires a ball out wide for Manquillo, headed out for a Liverpool throw.

Lallana is doing his best, trying to get everywhere right now to make something happen.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #151 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:27:34 pm »

119 - Sterling wins a throw in deep, deep in Beşiktaş' half. Whistles from the crowd...

Crimson_Tank · « **Reply #152 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:27:49 pm »

Sterling getting a bear hug in the Beşiktaş box ref gives nothing.

Consistency.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #153 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:28:05 pm »

120 - Full time.

Pens. Brought to you by RAWK... Quicker than the Beeb, guaranteed.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #154 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:29:19 pm »

So, who's taking them?

If I had to predict, I'd say Lambert, Sturridge, Lallana, Can and Toure. Or maybe Moreno.

We're not replete with PKers, with Gerrard, Balotelli and Hendo all out.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #155 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:30:47 pm »

My ITV4 has gone offline!

I though that only happened with streams.

Guarantee rescinded.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #156 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:31:57 pm »

We're back! For now.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #157 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:32:21 pm »

Penalties to be taken in front of the mixed end.

Crimson_Tank · « **Reply #158 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:32:44 pm »

Glad you are back JK. Many are counting on you.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #159 on:** February 26, 2015, 08:32:51 pm »

Beşiktaş to take the first penalty. It's Ba.
