Liverpool vs Napoli- Champions League (Group Game 5)

[Buzzo]

Horrible game. Much better second half.

Napoli are pro spoilers and the ref bought everything.

[Fredo]

Top of the group, it isn't too bad. First game away at Napoli somewhat damaging but on the whole, we've done ok. Napoli are a really good side though and not aided by the referee giving them all the 50/50 decisions in the first half.

[Buzzo]

Ox did pretty well imo.

[BobTheCharmer]

Great game by napoli, solid defending and closing down all over the pitch.

Very old school Italian. No desire to chase the game. Niggly fouls, stop momentum and defend the central areas. Carlo knows his stuff.

Ox did pretty well imo.

His touch seemed off but did well to win it back at times

Ok, boomer.

It's a well known and established sports-related expression meaning that someone produces quality in the critical moments.

"The term "clutch" was originally used in sports commentary, describing a player that can keep their head cool and perform well during a tense moment in a game, where the outcome of the competition was at stake. ... able to perform well in a very important or critical situation especially in a sports competition."

[BobTheCharmer]

Ox is effective central. Put him wide and he'll try but there's no option to shoot. Very strange night. Sticking a full back on that you have rested to create something is bizarre when all 3 forwards were blunt. Shaq or Origi should have been on.

We need a draw against Salzburg, not exactly 3-0 down to barca level.

We finish 2nd and have tougher fixture in knock out vs group winner.

[danperkins]

Very disappointed with our performance tonight, Mo and Robbo in particular were so poor and Gomez is pointless at RB. When we dont have the fullbacks in Trent and Robbo we have hardly any creativity from elsewhere so forwards are starved. Napoli set up very well and frustrated us. Another fixture to add to a must win list of fixtures now.

[Fosterbloke]

Ok, boomer.

[Fuzzy]

Wow

[Kenneth]

We finish 2nd and have tougher fixture in knock out vs group winner.

Looking at the groups, it doesn't look like it will make a huge difference. And we are top of the group going in to the last game. I don't think we need to worry much about our position.

[baitman]

Has owen the manc got a new hair do, looks suspiciously like some sort of weave

[Irishnev]

That was a ****ing annoying game

[Buzzo]

That was a ****ing annoying game

We never, ever make it out of the group stage easily.

It’s exhausting.
