RB Leipzig v Liverpool (CL Match Thread)

[Nineteenx]

Aye, true Noods but they did and they didn’t and the position is very favourable so I’m happy enough.

Yep

[eggy81]

Really impressed with Jones second half performance tonight

[fayyazms]

Great result

so-so performance

[fagin]

No, it was a decent performance considering the fact we’re missing 10 players Noods and they were semi finalists last season. I think we are tending to vent a certain amount of our frustrations with FSG on the team. They were decent tonight, great result

10 players missing -from where ? we played 9 1st choice team players in today's team
The only other scenario is if you're not counting Thiago as 1st choice then we had 8 of our 1st 11 for today's game on the field.

Delighted with the result they been to top table a few times and been found wanting.
As for us we looked more solid and slightly higher line helped that. Thought kabak was composed and played some excellent balls into the midfielders. Hendo is just imperious. Mó devastating and Mane looked up for it. Bobby was tidier tonight. I love the fact Curtis thinks he can take on the world, such confidence at 20 will bode well in the future.
Really feel for ox, no rhythm and looks like a player who injuries even when fit have taken a toll mentally.

2 centre backs, Fabinho and Jota have a good shout of being in our first 11.

[Insidious]

Really hope we have a composed and professional performance in the second leg.

Such a welcome chance to recharge the self-belief batteries for what's left of the League campaign, really is.

Having Van Dijk return to Liverpool and having given ourselves a strong chance of reaching the last 8 is such a combined shot in the arm. Really sets us up nicely for the Derby.

Possibly but 4 don't equal 10 in any math scenario plus Jota is only and has only been a Sub in our 1st 11.
Lets not manufacture our 1st 11 injury list to suit every occasion some on here want to keep doing.

Gomez Fabinho and Van Dijk are the only 1st 11 players missing period !!!

Matip Jota and Thiago are and have been Subs

[miller0863]

10 first team squad players unavailable for selection, think it’s pretty obvious that is what I meant.

VVD, Matip, Fabinho, Jota, Keita, Kelleher, Gomez, Milner and Origi is 9, can’t remember the other off the top of my head.

[Nineteenx]

It's 3-4 missing every game, Virgil Matip/Gomez Hendo because he's not in midfield because the others are missing P12 W12 with Hendo at CM this season, if fit Keita would play in midfield ahead of Jones or Milner with Hendo at CB
