Michael Cox analysis of the game
http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/nov/26/liverpool-steven-gerrard-champions-league
From the moment Brendan Rodgers named his starting XI, it was obvious Liverpool were attempting to grind out a victory. The likes of Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana – notionally tricky, creative midfielders – had started Sunday’s defeat at Crystal Palace but here they were relegated to the bench, with Lucas Leiva and Jordan Henderson returning. The last two, along with Joe Allen and Steven Gerrard, started together for the first time this season, showing that Rodgers was packing the midfield with hard-working players and attempting to do a job rather than put on a show.

Such an approach was indicative of Liverpool’s current situation and while it was less controversial, it was perhaps more telling than the heavily rotated lineup Rodgers selected for the trip to Real Madrid. Real are the champions of Europe, Ludogorets merely the champions of Bulgaria, but this was equally as negative.

So given the situation and assuming Madrid will brush past the Bulgarians, would we rather see them squeeze through here, only to be swiftly dispatched in the knockouts, as opposed to them finishing 3rd and inevitably breaking our hearts in the latter stages of europa league?

Does that even make sense, i've confused myself

 

[Del]

So Rodgers, Henderson, Souness, Carra and Sky are suggesting this was a good performance

A team that finished second last season in the "Biggest league in the world" who then went out and spent £150m on new players held to a draw against one of the worst sides in Europe hailed as some sort of turning point

Couldn't make it up

Out now

Don't trust them in the CL one bit

 

[bizzaro]

I well thought Balotelli was going to be a good signing for them

I've not been correct thus faur, but who knows?

mate I know some Man City players.there was a reason he was sold.

 

[loooweee]

I have never seen a bbc report that actually bolded and bulletin a list of objectives from a manager, do they think he is god, scribbling down his commandments??

[Del]

How a team that has won one game, Drew one and lost two can still go through shows how poor the CL is

Unbelievable.

They won't break our hearts, Anna.

Over two legs I would fancy we will best them.

 

[WA Toffee]

I just don't understand it. The RS are playing a not very good right back at left back and keeping a specialist left back on the bench.

Obviously copying Roberto's tactics

If you're going to use buzzwords, pick the right one.

He mustve been scrutinising worthwhile yet inappropriate approbations. Considering I quoted him earlier today saying the very same before the game, is he implying a degree of consistency of his mob.... ie before and after ? Or is he, as I prefer, just a gobsh.
