stopped watching, dire game. they'll obviously hold out. doesn't make a difference really, they still need to beat basle to go through. would love to get these mugs in the europa though - please make it happen, they're utter dirge

haha i've done it again. reverse mockers is da best. i watched most of that crummy match and missed both ludo goals ha. liverpool have got the point they went there for - can't say they deserved it based on what i saw, baring in mine liverpool won 2-0 from what i saw, that's pretty bad,
 
Absurd that in Europe's top competition you can get beaten three times but as long as you win two home games and get a draw away at the weakest team you can still go through, absolutely ridiculous. Every tie Liverpool get a bad result in this group their chances of qualifying have increased, bizarre.

It's an automatic qualification for any Prem side in the Champs League when you get a draw like that. Even Newcastle or Villa would grab 2nd in that group.

The very fact this is going down to the last game is utterly garbage from Liverpool's perspective.

Kind of dilutes the term "Champions League" when the top 2 in groups that contain the 3rd/4th best teams in various leagues get through. Liverpool have an easier group in the CL than we have in the Europa league. Of course Madrid are immense but they've had a much easier shot at finishing 2nd and have somehow ballsed it up almost every week. Though of course they will scrape through.
 
They wont get better than a draw from Basel.

Liverpool needed to win tonight and have Madrid do them a favour whittling down Basel's GD advantage. Basel have two bites at this cherry and liverpool have one.

Basel through on 7 points.

It would have even had they won today - a draw against Basel at Anfield wouldn't be enough to qualify.
 
Life's Mysteries - like how Lambert gets to play in the Premier League AND fit into a pair of shorts, how Ludo ever made the Group Stages and where Ronaldo McDonaldo has gone...

You also get paid for a win in the CL.

That result will have cost them 0.5 million.

Potentially more.

brad jones sleeping and coutinho wanking.

draw makes no difference from a win, but it is a bit absurd how out of 5 games, they've lost 3 games without scoring and flukely won via a last min pen vs possibly the lowest ranked team in the competition?

it's set up for a last min win, but they're so so terrible.
