Liverpool vs Real Madrid away (CL group match thread)

[Boogs]

Go on Liverpool

[McDermotX]

Awful touch from Ronaldo......move Markovic ya bollocks !

[calvoboy]

Skrtel half redeeming himself in last two mins to be fair with good strength against Ronaldo first, then a good header defending a corner.

"Liverpool's midfield proving difficult to play through" - not something we hear often from commentators this season...

[tanner]

Can's doing well, we're doing a lot better than I thought. Just a pity we don't have much threat up front.

[Kenneth]

New shorts for Markovic please.

[Muddled]

Our shape looks good.

Needed a runner to go beyond the ball for Markovic then.

[danperkins]

Markovic... Who to hell said he was a flyer!

[Tribute]

Real hitting a brick wall in midfield... Wonder how long we can hold out?

Much more balanced at least. The top was always going to suffer in this game.

[fidget]

Lucas is boss

[calvoboy]

Was never going to be. Set up to stifle

Absolutely, but imagine this same set up with Sturridge to aim for rather than Borini...would be like Owen in the Houllier days and I'd be thinking we can nick this instead of just cling on!

[ChesterDave]

Mig with a decent punch

[Kenneth]

Great punch Mig.

[Tribute]

Markovic... Who to hell said he was a flyer!

Not really a flyer, more of a cruiser...

[DeanoUK]

If I was a forward I'd just have a go against Skrtl. He just backs off and off
