Tottenham has been forced to park the bus for like the last 10 minutes. They're holding on though, Real is having quite the bit of trouble breaking through.

I'm trying to jinx it mate, but it's not working :S

 

[TimmmV]

Jeez at the Spartak score

Think a draw would have been better for us there tbh, would have meant Liverpool and Sevilla on 5 points each and Spartak 3, as opposed to Liverpool and Spartak both on 5 and Sevilla on 4

 

[Lunar FC]

Ox era has officially begun. 🏆

 

[CrayToes]

0-0 in the return fixture at Anfield, nailed on.

 

[McMoneyman]

Oh boyyyyy!

 

[T-Rex.]

Trent! Well, someone was due a whooping.

 

[RocknRola]

When was the last time Liverpool won 7-0 versus anyone?

 

[MikeBison]

Atmosphere on the Liverpool team plane will be buzzing tonight.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Season starts here!!

 

[His Majesty]

Robin Hood my ass

poor Maribor

 

[TimmmV]

Would take the same score against Spurs this weekend too. Jurgen pls

 

[Timbuktu]

Jeez at the Spartak score

Something to hope for in their reverse fixture, I guess.

 

[RocknRola]

And Spartak scored their 5th!

 

[sammex]

Hopefully that's the end of this season's "January" and we can get back to being decent again in the league.

 

[Zasa]

And Spartak scored their 5th!

What the...

 

[CrayToes]

Top result that for Spurs.

 

[RocknRola]

What the...

I know right? Wasn't expecting them to even beat Sevilla to begin with.

 

[KingSnake]

Spurs have been pretty strong today.

 

[Clydefrog]

Daaaamn, Spurs actually got a point in Madrid. Huge

Lloris > De Gea

 

[RocknRola]

Top result that for Spurs.

Agreed, also a damn entertaining match too (despite the lack of many goals).

The APOEL-Dortmund result is also pretty surprising (1-1).

 

[GoldenCrow]

That was a tough game, going to have a big effect on the weekend game. Can't wait for the follow up game in Napoli.

City needed to not play so direct in the second half and be more possessive.

 

[TeddyBoy]

I predicted the Liverpool game to be a nervy 2-1 win... well I was certainly glad to be wrong xD

 

[Timbuktu]

Did anyone watch the spartak game? What on earth happened there? It's hard to imagine how a team Liverpool drew 1-1 and also drew with Maribor did that.

 

[MikeBison]

Just so you know guys...I touched the lucky Heskey shirt pre game.

I'm not saying I'm responsible, but...

 

[WhateverItTakes]

What can I say except FUCK YEAHHH

Maribor were incredibly wank

 

[brokenbeans]

Always like to see prem teams do well in Europe, please continue tomorrow

 

[Zasa]

I know right? Wasn't expecting them to even beat Sevilla to begin with.

Although Sevilla have been very scrappy in the league so far, with little to no real convincing performances yet. This is just something else. Damn. Fair play to Spartak!

 

[Markitron]

The feeling of being a Liverpool fan and watching the inevitable shit that will proceed tonight instead of Madrid v Spurs.

Do me a favour and post this every matchday. The counter pressing and finishing were great tonight, but this post is the main reason we won.

 

[Zasa]

That should be fun. Can’t see Napoli losing control of the game so quickly early on again if they start Allan & Jorginho.

Great match though, lived up to the hype & was a nice tale of two halves.

 

[Kyoufu]

7 goals and not a single one by Gini lol

 

[Markitron]

Michael Owen referring to the Liverpool team as ‘we’ and ‘us’ as if he somehow thinks we have all forgotten what he did.

 

[Bersi]

Massimo Carrera is doing great things in Russia,happy for him,i've a feeling he'll be juve next manager in a couple of years.

 

[McMoneyman]

Michael Owen referring to the Liverpool team as ‘we’ and ‘us’ as if he somehow thinks we have all forgotten what he did.

Such a weirdo. I recall him saying "we" and "us" about United a few times too.

I'm glad he doesn't do that with Newcastle.

Billions in oil money from the new owners and a few world class players and he will start speaking in a Geordie accent.

That'd make me learn to appreciate Mike Ashley.

Didnt see it, but the xg for the game was 1.3 - 0.8!

Considering in the Liverpool game they scored from 0.1 xg I think they have the most efficient strikers in Europe

 

[Markitron]

A chilling thought no doubt.

From the highlights they had some top notch finishes. Can't speak much beyond that though, certainly never looked like scoring 5 against us.

 

[Kyoufu]

If Gini scored in the Champions League final, would it count as an away goal?

Depends on which team is technically designated the home team and has 1st choice jersey. Even still it would involve an asterisk.

Ah, yeah, good point.

It's amazing that he's still cursed even in a quality Liverpool attack.

Yea it’s weird alright. I mostly want him to get it to stop the commentators from regurgitating that factoid multiple times in every game.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

Spurs probably should have won that, stupid penalty given away. Amazing that only a penalty from Madrid could beat Lloris, he was on fantastic form.

 

[McMoneyman]

By the way. Who's the Alberto Moreno clone that's been playing for us? He's been brilliant this season. Long may it continue.

 

[GoldenCrow]

I honestly have no idea what the second match will be like. I think City's directness took them by surprise. That was the most direct I had seen them all season and the furthest forward I had seen KdB play. Sarri's tactics in the second half were brilliant and it prevented them from getting the ball to KdB, took some serious endurance to keep that up for as long as they did especially as they looked fucked after 20 mins in the first half. I'd like Sarri at City when Pep leaves, everything about his football is excellent.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

What happened to Sevilla?

 

[Markitron]

By the way. Who's the Alberto Moreno clone that's been playing for us? He's been brilliant this season. Long may it continue.

I keep seeing people say this and I just don't see it. He's just been ok, which is being made to look great on account of how awful he was for 3 years. His biggest problem is how brainless he is at times, that's not something that comes and goes with form. I won't be making any proclamations about him until the end of the season.

Yeah I kind of agree with this.
I've seen him do some downright STUPID shit during matches that makes you wonder if he's got a brain injury.
However since he hasn't done that so far this season I'll be happy while it lasts.
