I'll be interested to see what kind of lineup we put out there.

I'm with you though, it's been a long time since I've been this excited about a Europa game

I'm a wreck... All of my habitual feelings about Europa play are meaningless... WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN!?

, it's so strange right? Is it bad that in the course of two weeks I've gone from "ugh, we have to watch them embarrass themselves in Europe." to "Wait, you mean we're taking it seriously, and it could be fun to watch? Sign me up!"

I can guarantee you are not alone on that swap in outlook. Every scoured across the pond, and Reds worldwide, went about-face when this happened.

ETA: Not sure where this came from, but doesn't "Gegenpressing" sound like the safe-word from Eurotrip?

I must be in the minority, because I always looked forward to Europa league matches... I guess I just always enjoyed seeing us play teams outside of the status quo...

Now, sometime I could be indifferent if we crashed out, but with a UCL spot on the line the last two years, this tournament has upped the stakes IMO

Migs, Clyne, skrtel, sakho, Moreno, Allen, can, Milner, Lallana, coutinho, origi. Firmino and benteke make the bench. Very strong line up

FS1 has it on the Fox Sports Go app.

ETA: Skrtel caught ball watching and gives up an easy one. Lovely.

We look nice though. Really strong attacks so far and we're keeping good possession so far. Just skertel being a clown and watching his man score

We look ok. Still cant finish golden opportunities, but I do like the time of possession.

Lallana has been by far our best player.

Coutinho has got to get more consistent and take care of the ball.

He's still such a 50/50 player.

Red Card, lets take advantage.

Starting to hate Skrtel and I really don't want to because he has done a lot for our club.

I feel you. I don't hate him, he's just not a top choice CB anymore. He only ever was for about 1-2 seasons.

SKrtel needs to be replaced at the break, but he's what we've got at the moment. Would have loved to seen Gomez out there with Sakho, but that's not an option now. Illori too.

Can's touch is heavy, and he's not great in the final third, but he's going to give you 100% every second he's out there.

Yeah, unfortunately he will probably be the first player replaced, but it is necessary. If only origi had a little bit better touch and awareness, we might have another goal. Gotta remember he's only 20. Can't wait to see what we look like with our first choice strikers. Lallana looks great these past two games

He still has a lot of time to improve. You can't teach his motor and enthusiasm.

Coutinho's touch is either incredible or shite. It is really frustrating. And lord his shooting is the same damn way.

I will be EXTREMELY disappointed if we can't find a way to win this game with a whole half being up a man.
