I think this all is all at sturridge's door. He should have scored when he had the chances and we were on top. It is easy to blame the coach but I am looking at the very good chances we had to score the goal to kill off the tie.
**** of a competition, if we can't get 4th I hope we get 6th based on the amount of travelling to mainly former Soviet states.
Completely agree. His confidence is already shot but he had enough balls to step up and take one still. Sterling the only player left that wasn't a ****ing defender and he's too scared to stand up and take one..
We've got no chance of top if we play like the last three games. We spawned the last two, and this should have been over but for Ba hitting his namesake from four yards.
FA CUP! Isn't Sterling **** at Pens, understandable why he didn't take one. I would have thought Moreno would have been a good option, but anyone other than Lovren would have been a better option. His nightmare season just seems to get worse, summer he should be moved on.
At least this lets is focus on the league. I get no satisfaction out of eurpa league which is a failures tournament.
We did when it REALLY mattered. Now us, Spurs and probably Arsenal and City are out of Europe its going to put a lot more pressure on the two part time clubs that have had an easy season by comparison.
Blessing in disguise if you ask me. Won't do us any favours for Sunday but no more Thursday night football will surely benefit us in the long run. Thought Toure skrtel and Moreno played well. The rest...atrocious!
Being a forward doesn't mean you're good at penalties. Penalties are about mentality control not pace! Agree about not blaming Lovren though. Should have won the game in the first half.
We were awful in Europe this season. Dreadful in the CL and out of the Europa at the first time of asking. Who said our team was so great??
Gutted would have loved to win this but onwards and upwards. Need to get back to the way we were playing beforehand rather than the dreadful stuff we played today.
I was actually disgusted with Sturridge and Sterling tonight. They were ****ing awful, Sterling just looking for a foul every time and pretty static, Sturridge just trying to be messi all the time - BR needs to drill the ****ing team game **** down his throat again me thinks
I feel really bad for Lovren, he should never be taking the most important pen, especially when he's going through a confidence crisis. He's probably never going to recover from that. I was hoping Moreno would take it.
