Liverpool vs Borussia Dortmund: Match Thread

[Fosterbloke]

Brilliant skill from Sturridge but a heavy through ball for Cout means the almost certain goal chance is lost.

[RichC]

Lovely freekick there from Gerrard, unlucky not to be 3-0

[Chris]

Great half that, looked a really good unit and as mental as ever going forward.

[RichC]

Impressive first half that, looks like the new lads have settled in well.

[Gazzla]

Johnson looks to be having one of his best games for a while, it's almost as if he has to think playing at left back and it's making all the difference

That kit is a bit ugly isn't it. Reminds me of the treble winning Reebok effort.

Not the best is it.

[Fosterbloke]

Well that was an excellent first half.

Lovren
Looks ****ing solid and is leading the back line with authority. Great passing and a goal too!

Johnson
A massive improvement from the last 12 months! Is it me or does he look more comfortable on the left? Someone is worried about the arrival of Moreno!

Skrtel
Beast. Looks like he's being marshalled by Lovren effectively.

Manquillo
Wow, great debut so far! He can tackle, he can head and he can cross. Oh and he has pace to burn! Hopefully he can be consistent and we have a bloody steal.

[SB]

Very pleasing 1st half thatb& in truth I'm dreading the expected mass substitutions in the 2nd half.

Well pleased with all the new boys. Lovren is sensational & Manquilo hasn't put a foot wrong in his 1st appearance. I think Can will prove to be an astute signing & consistently impresses me.

[I, Ravel Morrison]

Good half. Like the combination of players on display -- Speedy and skillful front three, burly and mobile midfield two in Can and Hendo with Stevie anchoring, and solid back four with Lovren organising and the new Spanish lad impressing with his recovery speed.

[SB]

You can hear Lovren clear as anything. If we wanted a talker/organiser I think we've got him. Impressed with everyone so far.

I was wondering who I could here marshalling the troops. Very impressive.

[RedRum]

Buzzing. Hope we can keep this going. Clean sheet would do wonders for confidence. Coutinho, Sturridge, Sterling and Henderson are all potential world-class players. The future is looking bright red. Especially with that kit.

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

Back line is looking great, isn't it.

Lovren's gonna make a few eat their words, I get the feeling.
