Topic: Hoffenheim (Utah 86) 1 - 2 Liverpool (TAA 34', Milner 74'). FT

[markedasred]

Pleased enough with that. Not sure their goal wasn't offside though.

[El Lobo]

No surprise we nearly shit the bed.

You've already qualified lad, no need for bed shitting

[lessthanmatt]

Great result. TAA put a smudge on his MOTM performance with not playing to the whistle for their goal.

We should have scored about 6.

Lovren and Moreno... something needs to change... fielding one of them in a line-up is bad... two of them is going to lose us points and lose us matches.

[Keita Success]

Great result!

[Caligula?]

very good result and delighted for TAA although it was his error that lead to their goal. We were doing so well but I'm seething with that Hoffenheim goal. Absolutely seething. 2-0 and it would have been job done and a solid, professional performance and 99% through. Are no defensive fuck ups too much to ask for? Fucking hell. Could have ended 2-2 as well.

I worry with Klopp's lax attitude about our defense as if it were a joke, I really do.

[00jebus]

Great game, wonderful goal from TAA, good win, (same in 2nd leg please.)

[Igor Tripod Biscan]

That's not like us at all

We usually lose the away tie and need to get something at Anfield in the last 10 minutes, aging us all collectively by 10 years watching the game

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Before anyone moans about conceding, that goal doesn't really change anything. Hoffenheim needed to score twice before that, and they still need to score twice now.

Good performance and great result.

Lovren was abysmal; didn't understand the criticism of Moreno at HT

[1892tillforever]

I would have been more than okay with a score draw so can't complain about the result.

[xhaxhi]

Very happy with the win....good performance....mane not at his best today...TAA need to learn to play to the whistle

[rocco]

Would have took that before Ko , but still feel we could have put it to bed

[sminp]

Brilliant result! Shame about the goal at the end but Lovren's atrocious defending was always going to cost us.

[gemofabird]

Get in. Disappointed with their goal but would've snatched arm and all for that result before game.
Coutinho back for home leg and everything. Tee hee

[sms1986]

we cant keep a clean sheet can we?

We don't need a clean sheet, we needed away goals and a win.

[Gerry Attrick]

Excellent result but anybody thinking Moreno has changed are deluding themselves. He's just not very good and never will be.

[Alan_X]

we cant keep a clean sheet can we?

Fucking hell. Are you serious?

[Fitzy.]

Superb.

Away win.

Two goals.

Anfield next.

If you dare to complain you're a total ingrate.

[rawcusk8]

No surprise we nearly shit the bed.

After a win away  from home that's your mindset. Sorry we couldn't concede another 

[lessthanmatt]

Pleased enough with that. Not sure their goal wasn't offside though.

Matip plays him on I think

[TepidT2O]

Great result. Need to be tight tight tight at home as they will try and hurt us. Id like to see a set back 4 with not too many forward runs from the FB's and a Mid shielding the defence. Hit them on the break with the pace we have.

Failing to see the point of buying a left back and also dropping you LB from last season, but thats a chat for another thread.

Milner is cover for midfield at the moment (he did really well).

I can only suggest he isn't fully fit.. ah well... we won

[MrRaptorTurtle]

Fucking brilliant result! Get in lads!
Shite defending at the end let us down a bit though and we wasted far too many chances

Onto next Wednesday

[McSquared]

Great result. We certainly have work to do though.

[kennedy81]

Great result away from home. Frustrating to concede so late again, but I'd have taken 1-2 all day long.

[Caston]

Away win in Europe, very good that.

Defending is still worrying, but we should have enough to get through.

[clinical]

Good result. Terrible performance by some. Won't last long in group stage playing like that

[sms1986]

No surprise we nearly shit the bed.

No surprise that that is your first reaction to the result.

[Dree]

Great result. Get an early one next week and should be good.

Defensively as bad as ever, makes me yearn for fucking Skrtel and Cissohko (good lads they were though).

[Desert Red Fox]

Great result! Defense is still shaky, but at least we won - that's what actually matters. They hadn't lost at home last season or whatever... and now the Reds smashed that record. Have that.

[Vote For Pedro]

Really enjoyable match that, could have been very different score but will take that every day of the week. And, ahem, I believe I called it spot on in the preview thread.

[Klopp Your Hands]

TAA MotM hands down, well done lad 

[Upinsmoke]

Let them back in it but overall great result away from home. They still need two goals so doesn't change things massively.

[Bjinxi]

If only we could keep a clean sheet

They were dead and we were in controll

Hope signings will be made - lovren is a liabillity

[rob1966]

According to BT, won twice before tonight in Germany and both times won the competition...

[Simplexity]

Second half was excellent as we took control of the game.

Shame about that goal but thats what comes with the territory of using youngsters in games like this.

[Caston]

Matip plays him on I think

It was Lovren. Poor from Trent though

[Mozology]

Very good result, shame we conceded, 2-0 this tie was over, at 2-1 they've a (admittedly small) chance.

I need to calm down though. Lovren has made my blood pressure go through the roof tonight. Jesus.

[Father Ted]

Excellent result. Pity we couldn't make one of those breaks count and mke it 3-0.

Shakiest I have seen our defence since Klopp has been here though.

Eh? We're almost always shaky.

[SwordInYourGut]

On a side note, what a fantastic ball playing team hoffenheim are

[dangerpuss]

Job done. Roll in Saturday.

We could have scored 6 or 7 there. Hoffenheim are going to get walloped at Anfield if they play like that. They were farcical at the end.

That ref was total shit btw.

[BazC]

Good result, could have been a great one but to be honest our football didn't deserve it. The defence is an absolute shambles and we got lucky that Hoffenheim couldn't take the easy chances presented them.

Our midfield and defence needs sorting out this next couple of weeks.

Hopefully we don't field that team next Wednesdays and we can get over the line. Also hoping that Hoffenheim shit themselves at Anfield.
