    In theory it's a very realistic score line to turn around but I'm just concerned how little a sniff they gave us. A cold night next Tuesday and a bit of rain might not go amiss. Spanish softies won't like that....
    Anything can happy, we aren't out of it but it'll be very tough

    Some spiral this. A PL title and 2 goals away from a CL semi.

    Think and hope he will be back. Good that Vardy didn't pick up a booking too despite Simione's best efforts

    Possibly ...but Daniel Amartey made the ACON team of the tournament as a centre back ...so not like would have to play a Lucas Leiva or anything :)

    He was lucky not to get booked imo, he was getting a bit mouthy.

    Yeah I thought that too. Possibly your best player.

  11. No, Fosse, you've got it wrong. I do genuinely fear for you, mate.

    So that'd justify the bizzies wading in?

    Lille last year saw Everton fans tear gassed after some plain clothes armed French coppers went OTT in trying to apprehend some dolt selling some green ffs.

    It's not always black and white

    Lucas has played over 300 games for Liverpool mate, a class act.

    He'll go in the summer, but he's been an excellent servant to the club. Our current longest serving player.

    I don't know the facts so I won't comment. But that quote does say they were being targeted with missiles!

    No need buddy ...we'll be fine ... best form of defence is attack and wouldn't be surprised to see Gray and Mahrez given licence to roam with Slimani and Vardy as a front pair ...gonna be an occasion all right and the atmosphere will be electric...:)

    Yeah that's wise!

    Having some solid midfielders is what you need. Keep it tight and hit on the counter. You try and outplay them you're ****ed.

    Well done tonight chaps. An away goal would have been good but that's a great result <ok>

    Decent result but it still won't be good enough. Madrid score at Leicester and it's tie over.

    Leicester would have been better served going for it and getting an away goal second half imo. 1-0 makes it a far harder a task than 2-1.
