ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[blue_order]

Typical. One of the easiest teams they could have got.

Home leg 2nd leg as well.

 

[ToffeeDan]

2nd leg at the pit? Jammy as hell....again !!!

Well they earned the right to second leg at home by topping a group that included the 31st and 32nd ranked sides (of 32) in the CL - they drew 3 of the weakest sides in each pot.. (Spartak and Maribor plus a bang average Sevilla)

 

[Saint Domingo]

Ha ha as I predicted United and Liverpool the two cash cows of Europe with the easiest draw imaginable. Absolutely bent Uefa.

 

[Yarrgh]

I do hope that Porto don't just turn up and defend and let the RS burn themselves out before being sucker punched by the referee who spots a foul by one of the RS players. That'd be dreadful. They'd feel more fantascruffed than if Calvert-Lewin got pushed over by Lovren.

Funny watching them trying to convinces themselves it definitely wasn't a penalty, none of them even prepared to say it was 'soft'.

Fouls in the penalty area have been penalties since 1891, deal with it.

 

[thirdmantackle]

someone ring UEFA and tell them penalties for away teams are back on the menu at the pit

The media barometer on Klopp will have moved from him being considered a refreshing eccentric to now an embarrassing hysteric. Theres only so many spats/pitchside flare-ups and now media outbursts that can be put down to heat of the moment passion. Its lack of control, unprofessional but a welcome surprise Xmas present of schadenfreude (sorry Herr Klopp !) for the likes of us.

 

[BlueLlama]

It’s 2 more games for them to play which means more weakened teams in the PL and more points dropped. They will go out next round whatever.

 

[PITA]

2nd leg at the pit? Jammy as hell....again !!!

Wasn't that because they won their group?

 

[HongKongToffee]

Plum draw for them.

Group winners get second leg at home in last 16.

PSG/Real draw is going to be a titanic battle.

Whilst Klopp raging is hilarious the only worry is a ref may think twice at Anfield next month to award us anything.

Sky sports news are calling the decision controversial now because of his antics.
Carragher, Nichol, Murphy and Fowler have said its a penalty. It was an absolute stone wall one. Nothing controversial about it. I can see an Everton player being hacked down in the cup and getting nothing.

Juve....

Great tie. Can't wait.

It could also by the same token enable the ref to not give it a second thought and point to the spot pronto. Craig Pawson has in the main come out of it well considering the big call it seemed...but maybe it wasnt so big for him.

Hope when he hangs his whistle up, he is made a Knight of the Realm. love him to bits.

The days of them somehow spawning their way to a UCL final and then spawning that are over, even with Satan in their corner.

Too many teams far superior to them now for that amount of luck to come into play.

They are making up the numbers in that competition, however much its dressed up otherwise.
