Tough old game for us tonight, but it finished Olympiacos 3-2 Atletico and a win for the good guys. We have Malmo away next match and I think they're playing behind closed doors. If we get a win there then we may just upset the group and nudge either Juve or Atletico into the Europa.
Manquillo and Moreno were outstanding. The only 2 players who can be pleased with their performance I'd say (especially Manquillo after his 90th minute sprint to win us the penalty).
It's been a while since I could say that our full backs have been our best players.

Thought Henderson was better than most too. We got away with it tonight and need to improve massively to make a dent in Europe. Coutinho is off form and Mario and Lallanana need a few more games to sharpen up.
ManUtd fans need to lay off Balo >:( of course he is not as good as Suarez because, as I have pointed out many times on this forum, Suarez is the best striker in the world, so naturally no one is as great as he is. On a side note, I thought Liverpool were mad to sell him.
Balo is a completely different type of striker. He doesn't run around chasing the ball, but waits in front of the goal to be passed the ball and then scores! He has a killer instinct in front of the goal, can score big goals at important moments and doesn't suffer from nerves. Those are great qualities for a striker, but if you expect him to run around like a headless chicken for 90minutes "for the team" you won't get the best out of him.
Going off goal records I would put our new on loan striker above him in that category.
Didn't Suarez score the most goals in Europe last season (along with Ronaldo, but a few of Ronaldo's goals were penalties)? I'm not saying Falcao is not a great striker, he definitely is one of the best, but Suarez is an absolute genius and it's not only his goal record. A team with and without Suarez (whether it's Liverpool or Uruguay) plays completely differently. Like night and day. He always gives 100% and changes games on his own.

True but I do think it's was a one off getting away with it so many times that year.
Still England's best and only chance of the trophy again so who knows
Well I suppose Ludogorets isn't the biggest game, but that was a pretty huge goal!
Nope, I'm positively delighted
Decent goal to be fair, but he's done bugger all for the rest of the game.
Liverpool have ridden their luck a few times, but they are beating what is in front of them. That's all that matters.
The opponent doesn't matter, it's the 3 points that count ;-)
Gerrard to win it from the spot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still, 3 points is 3 points!
Basle away next will be difficult despite their hammering tonight
Enthusiastic and happy to the last about English football as usual - eh Dundee Boy ;-)

Which 'Man Utd. fans'? I can only see one even being critical.
Very impressed with some of Real Madrid's attacking, last night. Still, considering how much that attack cost, it should be good.
