Hoffenheim V Liverpool 15/08/2017 CL Qualifier 1st Leg

When has a match thread not been full of people mouthing off? Short memories?

Considering we're without Coutinho and Lallana, that wasn't too bad. Hopefully Coutinho issues an apology and gets back to being brilliant in midfield.

If we beat Hoffenheim, I'd love us to put in a bid for Vogt although I suspect they wouldn't be willing sellers having just lost Sule.

So excellent result but worrying defending again. Looked better with Can at the base of midfield and Mane is electric. Thought Salah wasn't anything special tonight

There's a difference between mouthing off, thinking the worst and being overly critical and calling our players 'cunts' and '****ing cocks' etc. The latter crosses a line for me personally.

Jesus, this match thread is embarrassing. You'd think some people get pleasure from sticking the boot into the team

This was a great result bar a few nervy minutes at the end.

Played well there. Bad defending for the goal. Lovren held a **** line. TAA and Matip didn't know he was there.

Hi Rudedog

Welcome to EST1892

Please note the match threads are always like this, but it's because people don't think before posting in the heat of the moment

The rest of the time it's relatively sane, relatively

Feel free to ask any questions, have a nosey around the site, there's plenty to see

Cheers

A bit nervy near the end but I thought that was a solid professional job.

I feel we have underperformed at both ends of the pitch, truth is the result could have been anything. Our defending was a joke, but we got lucky a few times on another day they could have scored 3 or 4. At the other end of the pitch we missed a few sitters and could have scored a few more, for me that is the worry of not having an out and out goalscorer.

Two away goals put us in a decent position, but as we have seen with such a fragile defence we still have alot of work to do

And having just bought him themselves. One to keep an eye on though hopefully. Kramaric as well looked very good, bags of energy as well.

First half it was ridiculous.

Nonsense. Its no different at a game, except its written down here.

Mane caused them no end of problems there and we delt relatively well against set pieces. They were a very strong very organised team with plenty of leaders. A massive test for anyone to go there and win. Considering we had a barage of abuse on saturday (rightly so) our artitude and confidence was good. We should be very happy with this result. I'm so happy for TAA to get his goal and he done well for the most, a tough test for him there with Hoffenheim trying to catch him out. His positioning was good for the majority of the game (the goal I know). I thought we soaked up the pressure well in the second half and it could have been 3 if the referee hadn't allowed play in from the transition (situations we work so hard on)

Doh

Kramaric did indeed look good.

Yeah I forgot about that, what was the referee thinking?
