We take so long to work out what we want to do with the ball. I don't really blame Sherwood, he came in at a really awkward time and has done far better than I would have expected, but we really need an experienced coach to come in and have a full off-season to work with the players. We're just kind of blagging it at the moment.

How Frazier Campbell has not been booked here is utterly beyond me. He's made at least three fouls that probably should have been yellow cards on their own.

We are fucking crying out for Eriksen here. No real guile.

Oh I'll never argue for their competence, but they have a tendency to be incompetent in one direction.

It's a ref in La Liga. Did you really expect anything different?

We're terribly disjointed here. Need to get hold of the ball for a bit.

Who was that singing? Very tidy.

x 100 I don't get the fuss about the guy. Sure he's improved, but I really don't rate him. Should be nowhere near a national team that wants to win the World Cup this year. Well when you consider said national team is picking Cleverley, then there's certainly an argument for him being included. Quite. We're back to the same questions: sure, he "should be nowhere near a national team that wants to win the World Cup this year" but we're not going to win the World Cup, barring a series of miracles. I don't see anyone else being considerably better, and I certainly think he's a more effective player than Cleverley. He gets a great experience which should stand him in good stead, plus having a young guy who runs and runs in Brazil might come in handy late in games.

...still shouldn't allow the CL fails in though.

Embarrassed to say that I'd completely forgotten we had Benfica up next. I'd completely resigned myself to defeat.

Disgusting.

What did he say? They switched over sharpish here.

That's pretty much what he's done . The only English player not in the squad who started Liverpool's last match is Flanagan.

Still think these will score again. We need another.

I love Adebayor when he's like this.

In a world with some decent rules in Football it might not be, but I think in the current game its a red all day. Maybe I need to see it in real time or something? Naah, he hit Vertonghen's head with his own, definitely. The only reason people are saying it might not be a red is because Vertonghen cheated and deliberately went down. In a perfect world it's a red and Vertonghen gets a ban for being embarrassing. I completely agree. Trouble is, Dnipr would only have a couple of players and the goalkeeper available for their next match.

Just not getting the breaks. The finish for the offside goal was fantastic.

It was a head-tap, hardly a butt, but Vertonghen completely bought the red.

Left back fucked up the offside trap. Tee hee.

Get up you little sh- oh wait, no, well played there!

Watch the ref add three minutes onto this. Cunt.

It's not about urgency though. It's about a cohesive gameplan, with players knowing where to go and what to do. Dnipr have set out to stifle and hit on the break, and it doesn't matter how "urgent" you are if you are unable to create space. Ade and Soldado have barely played together, Townsend and Sandro are just back from injury, and the full-backs are reserves. It's not surprising it's a bit disjointed. I think it's been pretty much as expected. There are signs that Eriksen might be able to find a way through with the two forwards, but Soldado and Ade haven't really dovetailed at all. The full-backs (Walker and Rose) are a big miss, particularly Rose, as there has definitely been more space on the left. We just haven't worked out a plan yet in general, which is music to someone like Ramos who will have them well-drilled.

One minute extra. My fucking arse. Their keeper took more than one minute over his first goal kick FFS.
