In your defense their midfield is arguably as good as anyone in world footballs on their day, whereas yours has always been under Klopp workmanlike.

but the lack of cohesion at the top and the constant covering of the keystone cops behind them is exposing them massively here tonight

We need a chance, a shot at goal, a bit of nice one touch play, something to just get us going. Nobody in the entire team is at it here. Given this team have played some huge games before they almost seem overawed by occasion. A really bizarre performance so far

Clear foul but can’t say it wasn’t deserved. Fortunate with the penalty I thought too.

Benzema fouled Kabak if anything there. More a coming together.

They just been better than us. Which is quite bad considering they hace pensioners running the game for them. Klopp.prob thought we can out run them.in midfield bu they just passed us off the pitch combined with our awful ability to pass today!

I would have played Fabinho and Thiago in midfield and Firmino behind Jota, Salah and Mane

Yeah I don't accept Fabinho, Wijnaldum and Keita, now Thiago isn't a good midfield. Wijnaldum was shocking however.

Meanwhile Dortmund have a goal ruled out for this

Utter joke

Remember when Keita was brought in but not quite, followed by months of waiting, being told he was going to be worth the wait, then he turns up and then spent most of the time injured and being invisible when playing.

Pretty woeful.

Correct. Benz stuck his leg sideways to provoke the tangle. They do mistakenly get given sometimes.

what's worse about that, the ref blows before he puts it over the line so VAR cant even review how clearly there was no foul.

Rodri also dived to win a pen and got no yellow card upon var review for utter disgraceful attempt to buy a pen

At the players tired from the weekend?

ref gave a dodgy af pen aswell, got overturned by var

We’ve got to go for it here. No away goal for us and it’s over.

Chill we’re be better second half

Next goal vital. We surely can't be that bad 2nd half

Wijnaldum is an awful passer of the ball.

This where was the press we expected

What baffles me is the lack of intensity. They've passed it around beautifully, but the lack of energy and agression is criminal.

Hopefully we see a big improvement or this could be a hammering

We've got Barcelona at the weekend. Gonna be great for morale if we can hold on to this result. Don't want to be greedy, this scoreline is much better than I ever expected.

VAR wouldn't have been able to do anything there as the ref blew his whistle. Shocking refereeing.

This is why I thought we had a good chance. Keep this game tight, then Madrid may been tired for the return leg.

We need an away goal.

Wow that is actually awful. Why is he blowing and not giving VAR a chance, Seems well dodgy. Should be off CL footy next year for that.
