Lille vs Liverpool Match Thread

[Spanishfly]

Yeah it would've been tough, i agree. Torres is a class apart from anyone though, and i'd have backed him there. No slight on Lucas, he just isnt as good as Torres, and very few are.

LUCAS Watch

Made/Attempted (Ratio)

Passes forward: 3/4 (75%)

There is nothing surprising about that, this 'sideways only' stuff is just blinkered bull****. He often feeds forward balls into feet and he's been the same tonight.

FFS give Lucas a break. He got into a great position, the ball from Johnson was not good enough.........end of story

I knew someone would get their knickers in a twist over that comment. For what it's worth, Johnson's ball was excellent and picked him out well.

Earlier on you were telling me not to read what i wanted to read in other people's posts. Take your own advice.

BBC Radio 5 live summariser Kevin Gallacher: "I think that Lille need to get at least three goals tonight."

To be fair, his sideways/sideways/backwards mantra shows up in home games when we have a lot of possession. Only reason he hasn't made a lot of passes is that he hasn't seen much of the ball.

The home support seems pretty terrible, would expect a good bit of noise at the start.

Just got in from work and they were saying on City that the Lille fans haven't shut up.

Certainly sounded decent support.

Torres is on a different level to everyone else on the pitch, shame he doesn't have the support apart from babel occasionly. gerrard and kuyt have been gash (although better than against wigan).

if we actually had someone who could make use of torres dragging three or more players onto him, and make runs into the free space, and if we had someone who could actaully pass the ball on the ground insted of hoofing it randomly, we'd be leading by a couple of goals right now.

say what you will about 5, i supports their musical choices...

FFS give Johnson a break. The ball was awesome and a forward/striker may have got a better first touch. However Lucas or Johnson are not to blame!

Johnson ball was good, I am not knocking him. If it was excellent ball Lucas would have scored, The pace and height of the ball made it difficult to bring down

On the TV you can hear a lot of the players, might well be where the mics are.

Promising start of 2nd half from us, unfortunately we still managed to make some incredibely stupid passes
