Hoop Blah Stranded Old Man Andrews Interesting battle of wits against Bayern who came here to get a 0-0 and got one.
Liverpool players seemed determined to get in Salah's way all evening which didn't help matters for them.
Don't think Liverpool will be too unhappy with a 0-0, they will have preferred a win of course but they go to Munich with Van Dijk back in defence knowing that any score draw will do them now - Bayern have to win.
Largely agree with that. Bayern not getting an away goal is big plus, especially with the makeshift centreback pairing last night.
I thought Liverpool played pretty well last night, right up until they got in and around the Bayern penalty area when things just didn't go Liverpool's way. They really do need to add a 4th and 5th option for that front line though as they just don't have much alternative apart from Shaqiri, who I see more as an attacking option in the midfield but he's probably played further forward for them.
Agreed.
The intricate passing in and around the box is fabulous when it works, as it often does.
I would like to see Robertson bombing on (he did a bit more of that last night) rather than the turning back inside as he has done more of late.
Two real European heavyweights slugging it out last night-oh for the days when only the top teams took part and we didn't have all those pointless group games even if it were just to have in the future the top two in the major leagues and top only in the rest.
