Great goal. Their play is so intricate.

Easy enough to do when Liverpool is just standing and watching them. I don't think Brendan properly understands what "hold your shape" means.

Negative Liverpool midfield playing tepid football in the centre circle. Ball lost cheaply and free kick to Basel.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Got to say I didn't understand why Liverpool were considered favourites by anyone here. Basel are just a better team, more pedigree and experience at this level. Won six out of the last seven domestically as well; I haven't noticed Liverpool tearing up the Premier League in the meantime.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Ginter looks so so comfortable on the ball, going to be some player.

 

[Alan]

What's Xhaka doing at RWB tho?

 

[PuntsWolf]

Because they are the English club. Ridiculous really when they have been shocking. Shouldn't have even beat Ludogorets

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Ramsey has just tonked one into the top corner from about 30 yards on his left foot, worldy.

 

[andyc225]

Should've done better there. He had more time than he thought.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

I think Liverpool need half time so they can get things sorted out. They are being pulled all over the place.

 

[Alan]

Galatasaray are really poor. Jesus.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Could quite easily be 0-3

 

[Alan]

Van Gaal ought to be taking notes. This is how you play a 3-5-2.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Brendan being shown up for the chancer he is

 

[andyc225]

Why are these commentators talking as if Basel are amateurs on a big day out? Why wouldn't they be fit enough to play 90 minutes?

 

[Espresso]

Where's the famous Anfield atmosphere? It's like a wake. Pathetic support.

That stuff really pisses me off. As if only English players follow rigorous fitness routines.

 

[Lycan]

It's been like that for a while. Overrated.

 

[Alan]

Lord have mercy, what a first touch that was. Too bad he was offside.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

This is Basel who made the Europa League quarter finals last season and the semi finals the year before. Remind me what Liverpool have done over the last five years in Europe.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

What is up with Liverpool. They have just not played with any kind of cohesion. Basle could and possibly should be 2 or 3 goals up.
