    No depth... we had a quality spine, but lacked in the wide areas and full backs, and when we lost a couple of key players for some games, we had no quality replacements unfortunately.

    You tried to wum but you're getting a serious response :)

    Lewandowski doesn't need to run around a lot as Bayern control the ball for 80% of the game and he does most of his work within the space of the 18 yard box. Totally different type of set up to what Sturridge is being asked to do by working the channels and closing down the defenders.

    Skrtel didn't start the away leg so I have no idea what you are waffling on about <ok>

    So you're saying Alonso and Mascherano were not a very good midfield pairing?...

    The Bayern/Athletico game is gonna be exactly the same as our one. We need to play at a very quick tempo and give them no time to settle. Bayern in the second half slowed down which gave Madrid an opportunity to kill the game off. We need to be in the lead at half time otherwise we will be extremelly frustrated.

    Villareal dont have the level of quality Atheltico have but they know how to defend, we have to be clinical.

    You had one of the best teams in Premier League history. Front three of Ronaldo, peak Rooney and Tevez is incredible and Rio/Vidic at the back is one of the best partnerships.

    Exactly.. This is the only chance we have getting into Europe now, given the last league game, a position in the EL via the League is looking less likely..

    We can scrape 7th if lucky... but i can see us doing nothing but focusing on final if we get there so despite the need to get 7th I think the players don't listen and klopp doens't pick the team like he's wanting to win.

    If he can give a good 60 i'll be happy.

    Allen coming on with 30mins to go isn't too bad.

    Very worried that milner will vacate CM totally though...
