It really is the luckiest group of all. They won twice against bloody Maribor and they still should win the group with a win at home to Spartak Moscow. Ridiculous!
Champions League - Group Stage R5 - Tues 21st & Wed 22nd November

Head to head.
One night in Seville.
H2H
Commentator on my feed was saying it was time for Europe to wake up and take notice of Liverpool.
Also i told you so, they dont look good, it was sevillia doing rubbish defending in first half.

Some is personnel. They have nobody in defensive midfield, who is taking charge and technically capable of controlling the pace. Keita might do wonders in that regard. Lallana will also help.
But yes largely it´s a tactical decision not to win games by keeping the ball more. German teams in general cannot defend leads, because they all play Klopp influenced heavy metal pressing football, except Bayern Munich, who play possession-based. He still hasn´t fixed it. Maybe Klopp should consider a 4 four week workshop in the winter with LVG (not even kidding) to teach him some triangle possession tactics.
What's more worrying is we've failed to beat any side but Maribor in this group so far.
Need VVD 1st Jan.

Sevillastanbul.
You've been incredibly fortunate to get the group you're in.
I'm dying of laughter here
He won´t change much. Teams concede goals, when they cannot keep the other team away from their goal. That´s their main problem. How much possession did they have in the 2nd half? 25-30%
It feels like City have won every game this season. 19 games, 17 wins and 2 draws is one hell of a record so far.
Klopp's annual salary: £7m
Combined transfer fees for Liverpool's starting back four tonight: £39.7m
Watching them do their thing: priceless, absolutely priceless.

Looking almost certainly like 16/18 for Spurs from a group with Real and Dortmund, mightily impressive.
After beating only one of the very worst teams in the competition, and drawing all the other games? What the hell is there to take notice of other than Liverpool's utter mediocrity?
From that clip
This.
I guess at least this means United will win our group...
i knew itJust a shame Sevilla seemingly didn't prepare for the usual Liverpool afterburners opening 30 minutes.
Without the "struck".Klopp is dumbstruck!
Best part is those two draws came at home against everton and wolves, probably the two worst teams they faced this season
A warm feeling that's keeping me comfy on this nearly-snowy night in nearly-December is that there's a die-hard Liverpool fan out there in Seville somewhere, a man who loves his team and goes to all of the matches, who started following Liverpool after that famous 3-3 Istanbul game, and he, the brave young Scouse lad, has been to the Chelsea, Crystal Palace and now Seville games.
Sure about it, seems way too little?
Klopp
So if Moscow beat Liverpool in the remaining game, and Sevilla beat Maribor, Liverpool don't advance. The latter is quite likely, and it wouldn't take a miracle for Liverpool to slip up and lose against the Russians, either. I'd give them no more than 70% chance of advancing at best. One of the easiest groups and the only team they've beaten is one of the very worst in the tournament. Klopp has a lot of explaining to do.
Tbh they played vs Sevilla while we played vs Ajax.
Did well enough. Had the same number of chances, just gave up two pathetic goals from corner
Oxlade Chamberlain comes on, Liverpool concede the third. Coincidence? Another Arsene masterstroke. £40 million
If only Spartak hadn't conceded the last minute equaliser to Maribor, there could be a chance of Liverpool ending up in the Europa... I guess 3-3 will do
Klopp interview should be interesting...

Oh they're scary alright.
Heavy metal football this
Liverpool
I think they have the Merseyside Derby around that time too. That would be the mother of all meltdowns if Spartak were to do a number on them.
I was just going from what I could find on Wikipedia. Lovren £20m, Moreno £12m, Gomez £3.5m & Klavan £4.2m
o happy this guy is not our manager, can you imagine meltdown on Caf if this happened to us. Thank God for defensive Jose.
That's typical Liverpool, they always look good in the first half then collapsed after. That's three games, Sevilla managed to come back to avoid loss in a row.
