Liverpool vs Borussia Dortmund: Match Thread

[ronanm]

Seem to be set up to counter. Interesting to see what changes we'll make. Encouraging. Pity Marko and llalana are injured.

Gerrard
Great passing and really getting stuck into the defensive side of things.

Can
Has been quietly patrolling the DM area along with Gerrard.

Henderson
He's everywhere. Chasing in midfield, involved in attack and mopping up in defence. Well he's almost everywhere, we've not seen him with goalies gloves yet!

Coutinho
World Class display. His breadth of vision, touch, ball control and passing is simply brilliant. If he could shoot he'd be in the top 10 of world players. Looks like the WC absence has kept him sharp.

Sterling
Fast as **** and causing lots of problems. Not 100% on his game with a few heavy passes and through balls but he's still doing the business with his man strength and gazelle like speed.

Sturridge
What a ****ing well taken goal. He's displayed Suarez like skills, deadeye shooting, great vision and looks comfortable in Suarez's absence. Please stay fit lad!

That clear as day voice was Lovren's? Damn.

I thought it was from our coaching staff at first. Great signs of leadership innit.

Coutinho is something else isn't he?

We've looked very fluid on the ball and really tough and aggressive off it, very encouraging first half that. I'd like to see a little more from Can but I suppose he's gone about his business nice and quietly so far.

Mkhitaryan looks neat and tidy, probably the only Dortmund player on the pitch who would compliment the way we're playing, maybe Piszczek if he didn't look to be struggling with that knock.

Aye. Was calming me down as well!

Our pressing defo seems more aggressive.

I have seen Adrian Ramos a few times last season as hertha berlin is the nearest bundesliga team. He is an absolute monster physically yet Lovren has bullied him at times in that first half.

Can and Henderson are machines. so much energy in their play.

[shanks69]

lucas on for can.

[~LFCHistory~]

We're looking like our old selves again and Lovren looks immense so far. Manquillo decent too.

Rival fans thinking we'll go away because we sold 1 player are going to be seriously disappointed.

I know we know how good Sterling is, but how good is Sterling?!
