Looks like Basle drew with Ludogrets at least.

Ludogorets have scored, bad news.

Is that that good news? I'm confused

Nope

Does Ronnie Whelan not get complimentary tickets from the club or something?

Him and Hodgson should get together.

He's as two faced as they come. He's on match day phone in on lfctv and he wouldn't say a bad word.

Slattsy · 22-10-2014 08:37PM

It feels like a win!

whatawaster · 22-10-2014 08:38PM

Ludo won so that's something. Win our last two games and we are almost certainly through.

On current form though that will be tough.

Only positives for me tonight were Coutinho returning to form and Can looking good when he came on.

I'd like to see Can and and Gerrard sitting deep and Henderson further forward

mav79 · 22-10-2014 08:38PM

We did not even give Madrid a fight, all the players pulling out of tackles. Expected a loss but not to give up without a fight.

martyos121 · 22-10-2014 08:38PM

Don't fancy our chances away to Ludo. They gave Madrid a tougher game than we did in the first half and put Basel away late on.

marklazarcovic · 22-10-2014 08:39PM

ludo score ... alls not lost in the night

Are you getting worried yet?

Raif Severance · 22-10-2014 08:39PM

BR's Stubbornness will be his Downfall.

We would have looked alot better, if Borini is actually getting the Minutes that Markovich is playing.

And it would probably improve Balo too, since he now has a Strike Partner to do the Donkey Work for him.

And of course, the Oldest Player we have, continues to play every Game, every Minute.

Vicxas · 22-10-2014 08:39PM

Fair play ludo. Makes the shootout for second more interesting

About what?

marklazarcovic · 22-10-2014 08:41PM

said it after last game, balotelli has no place at lfc,actually in any team,he is not a team player

About the fact that our team is getting significantly worse & showing zero real signs of being able to turn it around?

Yeah Counthino played well but will he get that space again and such a non aggressive midfield against him.

klose · 22-10-2014 08:42PM

Well that went to script if we are being honest however defence remains a mess but whats new? We were second in every position tbh, they defended superbly and that midfield they have is a thing of beauty. Decent cameo for can, markovic did zilch unfortunately. Johnson is just pathetic at this stage, would love to know what rodgers sees in him. We are blessed ludo got a win tonight, every chance of qualifying still.

We still didn't create anything until that Allen shot from distance at the end of the first half.

That's been a consistent problem this season - we're just not creating enough chances and it doesn't matter what Rodgers has tried, he hasn't got it to work without 2 strikers.

It's far from ideal but considering our performances this year and the fact that QPR battered us on Sunday, there was some improvement in certain aspects.

Like the first 15 or 20 minutes of the 1st half we actually looked like we were going to give Madrid a game.

Exactly until our defending let us down, again.

noodler · 22-10-2014 08:45PM

I say again, Mario is a disease for team morale.

Can't believe it took so long for some to realise this.

Francie Barrett · 22-10-2014 08:46PM

One thing that annoyed me tonight was that so many times when we turned over possession, we just didn't break forward with enough bodies. Last season we would have had wingers with full backs overlapping bombing forward. Today and in most games this season, we haven't had enough numbers getting forward and it's meant we've got far too few options in the final third.

He's a prick

~Rebel~ · 22-10-2014 08:47PM

Actually thought Balotelli had a pretty decent first half...passing should have been better on a few occasions, but much more involved than other games.

As usual, defense was our undoing.

As far as the night goes though, Ludo winning was effectively as good a points swing as we could hope for - us and Basle being on equal footing after 3 games.

K4t · 22-10-2014 08:47PM

If tonight proved anything, it's that Rodgers needs to build the team around Coutinho, Can and Sterling.

He let himself down badly swapping shirts at half time. Disgraceful stuff

He is a utd fan since childhood.

This. I'm also desperate for Sturridge to be back and our defence to grow a backbone.

22-10-2014 08:48PM

The treatment of Balotelli by the RTE panel is nothing short of a disgrace.
