Liverpool Thread - Premier League Champions* 2019/20

Have been the far superior team, and it seems like you're only operating at about 80%

Sounds like Robertson has been going well?

Absolutely immense, seems to have the biggest engine of anyone on the park. 

Man at times we opened up Spurs with so much ease. Shocking finishing but amazing build up.

Still good to get the three points, so pumped for Wednesday

BOBBY!!!!!!!!!!!

How fudgeing good is Champions League football. 

Made even better with a stoppage time winner! Marvellous! 

Very long way to go yet but Red Star getting a point off Napoli is good news as well. Best possible start. 

And our winning streak continues! Next up, Chelsea!

DANNY!!!!!!!

That was a really good game of football. 

Hmmm not gonna read too much into it but completely outplayed this morning. I would've taken a point but certainly didn't deserve to.

How's that winning streak going?

Yeah whatever

Cracker from Napoli that.

Surely not an Arsenal fan taking the mickey out of another club?? Lol

The powerhouse that is QARABAG

They've probably won a trophy more recently that your shower.

Injury clouds over Salah, Keita, Van Dijk, Mane and Milner.......wow

Yeah, worst international window ever! Fab should get a start against 'uddersfield if Milner and Keita are out.

Shaq and Fab both played well this morning. I think Shaq especially deserves more starts, stronger on the ball and more creative than the other mids and still works pretty hard. Happy with him playing centrally and any two of the others playing deeper.

Gonna be very interesting to see who gets out of the group! Napoli were unlucky not to grab another win. I'm still expecting to progress but the reverse fixtures are all gonna be tough.

It all seems a little bit shark at the moment. 2 very good goals from Red Star sure, but approximately a hundred corners without threatening at all, added to several thousand crosses that hit the first defender, and a bunch of definite chances that were all very poorly taken. Dug a bit of a hole now, gonna need to play a lot better in the remaining games to get out. I'm getting quite pessimistic about how this season is going to play out. Merrrrrrr.

Maybe a bit complacent?  Certainly makes it tougher to qualify. Would have nearly been there with a win.

I don't think it's complacency but maybe. We gave the ball away so much against Arsenal the other morning, I was kinda hoping we'd be much tidier today, nope. Credit Red Star, they were up for it but we didn't show much. Need a strong performance against Fulham on Monday to get the mojo back!!

Shades of 04/05, needing to win by 2 goals to get out of the group..... ended up working out pretty well that time!

Looking forward to playing you lot in Europa league. It could work out well for you, you won't care as much about it and hopefully can focus on keeping pressure on Man City.

A 1-0 win will put us through to the next round

Not true. PSG only need a draw regardless of Liverpool winning to come top. Unless you win by 4 plus

True dat! 1-0 or by 2 goals. Nervous already! 

100% true mate. 1-0 win will put us through instead of Napoli

What? A 1-0 win puts you equal on points with Napoli but their GD is higher - does EUFA prefer head to head results over GD in this scenario?

Any win works in your favour is PSG somehow lose to Red Star, but the odds on that must be pretty long.

UEFA competitions are always head to head.

No goal difference would be the same.Liverpool 9 for 7 against,Napoli 7 for 5 against.

As el grap says below head to head is first tie breaker which is the same as is goal difference so liverpool go through as they have  scored more goals.

And thank fudge for that! Phew!

Very relieved now but wow, should have been out of sight but for some woeful finishing and option taking.

Got it done in the end, great stuff!

Maybe next year lol

Wrong.

Joel Matip out for 6 weeks now with a broken collarbone, ugh! Lovren just back in time but that's a worry.

Thankfully as things are going I think we'll be back in ECL for a rematch of this:

With Gomez out too

Gees Louise VVD was lucky not to see red
