2012/13 Europa League thread

[Liam]

Liverpool are just trying to do a Fulham.

Except Liverpool aren't likeable enough to pull it off >_>

Very good atmosphere at Anfield now, but the fans aren't particularly generous.

[Lineker]

Joe Allen scores and the board crashes.

[MJB]

Game on.

[Adam]

Looks like it should've been a penalty that.

Liverpool are all over them like a rash.

[Adam]

That is a beautiful, beautiful strike.

[MJB]

Sublime free kick.

I understand that Rogers wants Liverpool to play it out from the back but as a fan, this would drive me up the wall. There's nothing wrong with just putting your fucking foot through the ball from time to time.

[Colly]

Just saw Pavel Srnicek on the Sparta bench, didn't even know he was there. Legend.

[Dan]

Torres is awesome.

[therockbox]

Subs completely killed us, don't know what Rodgers was thinking. Allen and Henderson were bossing their midfield and the momentum was ours, so he brings on two players who have done nothing for... well, ever.

[Millsybeast]

We were so close, but yet so far. I guess it wasn't great that we conceded early though.

Chelsea score in the 90th! 3 English clubs go through.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

A few exciting games today then, or at least finishes.

[stokeriño]

Looking forward to this!

This was a touch naive.

Bailed out by the last kick of the game. Just because, you know, fuck Spurs and all.

Liverpool do that now and again. It was the same under Rafa. We'd often build from the back except for the occasional long kick out from Reina straight to Albert Reira.

Just got in so I only am seeing the result now. Not bothered about going out of Europe after seeing that scoreline.

To boxy and the substitutions, I don't know what they were tonight but Rodgers and substitutions is a weird one. Sometimes he doesn't bother, sometimes he does and then he makes a balls of it (see West Brom).

[stokeriño]

Ajax knocked out on penalties. Chelsea will face Steaua Bucharest in the Last 16.

[stokeriño]

Swish.

Brad Friedel's response to the Lyon fans, who booed him for not being Lloris all game, after Spurs won;

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I loved Brad Friedel's reaction.
