We love to make it hard for ourselves. We di the same thing in the last CL campaign.
Our performance was very flat today, from the start of the match.
Our next CL game is home to Ajax and last matchday away in Denmark. Would have loved to mathematically qualified today but not to be.
Never the easy way with Liverpool
Short-term it's obviously not nice to lose. NO matter what team we put on the paddock, there's a certain level we need to expect and we were far off it. Even though we lost 2-0, we weren't unbelievably outplayed and the goals they scored really came down to bad marking from our 2nd stringers. No excuse, but it's not the end of the world.
The concern is really why we had absolutely no penetration. Lacked anything in the final third. But I guess we really can't be surprised when there was no Robbo, Trent, Keita, Shaq, Thiago, Hendo, or OX in the team. All of who are the ones that create stuff in that area of the pitch, especially the fullbacks.
Thought the Greek fella went OK actually, apart from his lapse in concentation for one of their goals. The first one I think? Hopefully Thiago and Hendo get some game time on Saturday!
