Kick off for game 2 is 20:00.

Apparently Virgil missing through illness and Bradley .. pretty sure they just said he’s had a “minor procedure”.

Better they’re missing now than in a fortnight but ffs bring Guehi in now and stop procrastinating over it.

Exactly, get a cb in now and don't be risking it. We are really short for cb.

Fabulous break, Wirtz to Ekitike, to Gakpo, his cross met by Wirtz, narrowly over the top.

Another fabulous move involving Wirtz and Salah with a perfect final ball to Gakpo but his finish is wide

[justme]

who else but.... Salah

[miller0863]

Liverpool break again, Ekitike stops his man, beats him with a step over and pulls it back to Mo who puts it away in the corner with ease.

Liverpool 1-0 Bilbao

Ekitike is having fun down the left, holds off two before being brought down as he approaches the box.

Lively start

[justme]

I think we have done well again?? Selling a 28 year old for 70 million and basically getting a 23 year old in Ekitike for similar price..

[RedMagic]

We definitely need reinforcements for our defence.

[miller0863]

Poor goal to concede defensively. Set piece came over to the far side, it’s pulled back into the middle and the Bilbao player is standing in yards of space, in between two lines of defenders, marking no one.

But then, there’s no Virgil and two new full backs.

Liverpool 1-1 Bilbao
