[EL] Bordeaux (H): Post Match

[Fosterbloke]

Benteke put it in the net three times but only scored once with one disallowed for offside and another for a very soft foul (should have stood in my opinion).

I thought he made good runs, pressed well, used the ball intelligently and won a lot of headers. He fluffed a few too but at least he's in there to make them!

I'd give him a 7.5 today.

Genius

Poor display but we are through, so we've done enough and that's all that matters.

Another angle of Mignolet's mistake. Show's you just how long he's actually held on the ball.

What an idiot.

Bit harsh he is only a kid.

I thought Lovren was again excellent last night.

I thought Lovren was again excellent last night.

That interception when he sprinted from defence, get in!

It helps immensely that he now has cover when he does that.

[Fredo]

He seems to be imposing himself a bit more now as well. He's not as strong as Sakho on one to ones but I think he is an able deputy.

Structure and clear coordination may be able to redeem even the unredeemable

[Fredo]

It helps when the team is built from the back. We were an artist's painting under Rodgers, fluctuating between the brilliant and the abject abstract.

I could rant about Mignolet and say how he's not good enough for us, but I think we all know that anyway.

[Phoenix07]

I'm not bothered about the performance last night. As Klopp said in his pre-match presser, this team is not very experienced in handling domestic and European competition together. We had to win to seal qualification with a game to spare, and we did that.

[wiw]

We won without playing well against an organised team without expending too much energy before Sunday. Could pick on individuals but there's no point, we're starting to learn how to win games in different ways which can't be a bad thing.

[Fosterbloke]

The difference was Benteke today, MotM for me.
