This fabulous showing (only a 1-0 loss...) against Real buys him more time...and for that, I am truly thankful. Some wonderful popcorning aheadThere is a fin de siècle feel to Brent's reign now
I am beginning to think he will be gone by the end of the season
The keyboard warriors and radio ranters are starting to turn on him big time.
Dear lord, they're hailing Kolo Toure as the second coming and celebrating a loss.

that'll be kolo toure who was marking benzema for the goal
Celebrating a 1-0 defeat in which they created precisely nothing like they won the competition is quite frankly pathetic.
They deserve the 7/8th place finish they are going to get this year

They may have lost but they held their heads up high like a noble deer bucks in the golden meadows of cruel autumn. Their hearts were about to bust from pride and balls were about to burst too cause of defeat that can only be described as a glorious win - in defeat.
I salute you Brenda

'Red Shame'
Rodgers lets down his team and the fans.
Real camp wasnt sure how to react to them... and played with slow tempo against volutarely weakened side.
If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches,
the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings (in descending
order):
a) higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the
teams in question;
b) superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams
in question;
c) higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the
teams in question;
d) higher number of goals scored away from home in the group matches
played among the teams in question;
e) if, after having applied criteria a) to d), teams still have an equal ranking,
criteria a) to d) are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the
teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does
not lead to a decision, criteria f) to h) apply;
f) superior goal difference from all group matches played;
g) higher number of goals scored from all group matches played;
h) higher number of coefficient points accumulated by the club in question,
as well as its association, over the previous five seasons
RS 2 Ludo 1
Basel 4 Ludo 0
Ludo 1 Basel 0
Basel 1 RS 0
RS v Basel
Ludo v RS
Basel 3-6 5-1
RS 2-3 2-2
Ludo 3-3 2-6
The tiebreaker will not go down to coefficient as it will be broken before then - the closest example would be 4-0 Ludo and 4-0 RS leaving
Ludo 4-6 6-6
RS 4-6 6-6
Basel 4-6 5-5
Ludo would win out RS would be 3rd, Basel eliminated.
A draw for Basel against Real and defeat for RS in Bulgaria ensures that they cannot qualify. If Ludo win 1-0 or by 2 or more they lose that tiebreaker as well. Either way they must beat Basel (by 2 goals) to win that tiebreaker. A 1-0 win vs Basel ensures a further tiebreaker but, at the moment, they still lose out on GD.
A draw in Bulgaria coupled with a Real win in Basel leaves the RS placed to steal 2nd with a win in the final game
RS 7
Basel 6
Ludo 4 (and one assumes a loss at Real - or elimination in head-to-head v RS)
two losses for Basel leaves them level with RS pending their result in Bulgaria.

The rs must have thought they would be battered, so they are happy with a loss, what a fall from last season. I see that Sterling, Henderson and Gerrard didn't start, that must of been disappointing for the players. Being denied to play in one of the greatest football ground against the best, and have a chance of scoring a goal. lol
Let's look at what has changed since their last Mortal Kombat:
1: The previous 3-0 stroll happened at Anfield. Tonight, it's in the Bernebeu
2: Ronaldo is positively salivating at the chance of breaking Raul's European record and putting some more gloss on his place as one of the game's all time greats.
3: Gareth Bale is fit again. Ancellotti's selection headache is between Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez. Rodgers' selection headache is Glen Johnson or Javi Manquillo.
4: At Anfield, Madrid had one eye on the imminent Barcelona fixture at the weekend. This weekend, it's Rayo Vallecano.
5: Liverpool have gotten worse. Real Madrid have gotten better.
Their whoppers love statistical breakdowns so I've plotted their chances on this useful graph:
Hugely disappointed that I miscalibrated the size and ferocity of Real Madrid last night. I know Liverpool lost. I know a lot of people can still see right through Brenda. But disappointing nonetheless.
