Sore one to take unlikely Gordon could have held the first shot.

Rogic going off, Stuart Armstrong comes on to replace him. Should be in there to run and close the ball down a lot.
I'm expecting Griffiths to replace Dembele at some point as he's done a lot of running tonight....but we need to keep up that pressure from the front!

For clarity, we've put 3 goals past the unbeaten, moneybags runaway leaders of the laughingly overrated EPL.
Let that sink in.

Good point Tic! AND we took the lead all 3 times!
That was a really good game! We weren't outclassed! We played well, caused them problems! That's what the players need to do more often in Europe! Can't really fault a single player tonight!
The fans were fantastic tonight as well!
Rodgers got the tactics spot on!
That was a REALLY good point! We needed that! It will give us great confidence for Borussia Munchengladbach!
Well done Bhoys!! You've done us proud tonight!

Outstanding performance from us. And in context we gifted them two of their goals. There's nowhere like Paradise on a European night!
Every single player played their part and Rodger's has balls the size of small planets taking Bitton off and sticking Griffiths up front alongside Dembele.
Merited more than a point but we'll settle for it.
Another 500k into the coffers for the draw btw...

We've started okay but have raised it a bit in the last 5 mins.
Balls in behind will hurt them ... but we need better passing in the final third.
Good save Gordon.

Think it's a case of both teams finding their feet and feeling each other out. Just feel we're a little wasteful at times, a little slack in our passing all over the pitch. This team will press us and attack with pace! They have fantastic movement. Defence needs to be switched on! This is not a night for our fullbacks to go wandering too much!
They are supposed to be set up as a 4-4-1-1 similar to us but actually appear to be set up more as a 4-3-3 at times!

Bitton should try passing it to one of our players for a change!

Change the shape, Brendan. We're getting swamped in the midfield/defence

cannae miss chances like Sinclair's at this level ffs.
HT 0-0
BR needs to change the shape/system
A proper 4-3-3 or even better a 4-4-2
Fullbacks need to be fullbacks tonight too.
Bitton has been worse than a man down in that midfield - woeful half. Have rarely seen a player give the ball away so much in dangerous areas.
Sviatchenko needs a boot in the baws to wake him the fuck up.
Swamped at the back and in midfield and swamped again when we're goi9ng forward. Get it sorted Rodgers.
Rogic and Dembele have basically been crowded out of the game.

Something needs to change! This first half has gone from bad to worse....how we've not conceded is something of a miracle!
We can't get out of midfield and defence because they're trying to make us play it out from the back and closing us down quickly and in packs....and it's working well! We need someone else up with Dembele to give them another problem, Rogic is being marked out of the game. Forrest and Sinclair have been next to useless because they're doing nothing going backward and can't seem to get high enough up the pitch in attack.
Even when we do win the ball back when they attack us in numbers, they're able to get back quicker than we can get forward....which is useless!
We're struggling with their movement. Stindl is a CLEVER player! He's drawing either Toure or Sviatchenko to him but gets to the ball first, but as soon as he has it, someone else is on the move for him!
