[EL] Villarreal (A): Match Thread

[Buzzo]

Lallana, not so much.

Quiet so far

The two teams seem quite evenly matched.

[Kenneth]

Theyre packing the middle and forcing us wide, we have nobody in the box to get onto crosses. Whilst it's 0 - 0 i guess it's not a big deal.

Quieter than usual on here for a big game.

Higher quality of post though

They are just a yellow Spanish Liverpool aren't they? They even do **** corners.

[inijjer]

its tense.

It's very even, both teams 'playing within themselves' to quote a cliché. (quality lowered) .

When Firmino is bad he's very bad. Just not doing the right things at the moment.

[Buzzo]

This thread will become the benchmark for match threads.

Polite, intelligent, insightful. It's a master class in big match posting so far.

Games gone quiet, suits us though.

Firmino never gets any plaudits for the good stuff that doesn't result in a goal

[kev776]

Lovren is Boss

[shanks69]

Should have been a yellow for the foul on kolo

[Gibbo]

Typical boring, cagey European first leg this.

Which is good for us, so far. Still think we need an away goal.

[Kenneth]

That was a two-footed tackle on Kolo. Didn't really make contact but still dodgy.

[labourRed]

Game is crying out for Benteke. Haha

[BobTheCharmer]

Get sturridge on, I hate us playing with no striker. We could easily get a goal or two tonight. Reasonably comfortable. Toure playing very well, I player I openly don't like.

[Corndog]

Without sturridge or origi the team can't stretch the defence or hold up the play as well.

Sturridge to come on and nick a 75th minute winner.....hopefully
