Europa League 2015/2016

3-0 Valencia, Santi Mina again, that's two goals and a lovely assist!
 
Leverkusen 1-0 up and i have to admit it's a fair result atm
 
Santi fckin Mina, skins his opponent and puts one on a plate for Negredo to tap home, 4-0. What a cross, what a performance!
 
4-0 with a Vezo/Aderlan duo in the team. Neville's magic
 
Mina again making mince meat of his marker and putting in a cross for a straightforward finish for André Gomes, 5-0...

2 goals & 3 assists by him :lol:
 
He will avenge United when they get Midgetland in the next round
 
Feck sake Rapid, so good till now and then such an awful performance. Embarrassing
 
Btw today is Gary Neville's birthday. Nice present.

Pretty mediocre performance from us so far. We can't seem to build anything meaningful up top.
 
Thats seriously a dissapointing display by Pool so far. Augsburg are hardly world beaters, miss a lot of key player and are still looking like the more threatening side, which is not saying much to be fair.
 
Take a draw and run back to Anfield.
 
Great volley from Aduriz. Athletic Bilbao 1 up.
 
Casillas; Maxi Pereira, Marcano, Martins Indi, Layun; Danilo, Herrera, André André; Brahimi, Corona, Aboubhakar. Before you say they have a reasonable number of starters, i have to mention that they are playing with just one CB Martins Indi, Layun as CB when he's a full back, Varela as RB when he's a winger that rarely plays, Sérgio Oliveira playing for the first time as starter this year (with Lopetegui he wasn't even called up), Marega (bought two weeks ago and already criticized by Porto fans). Their defense and defensive midfield is completely new. I just don't understand how Dortmund isn't taking advantage of that.

Seems a bit strange to field your first choice attackers and rest the defenders. Are you sure it wasn't some tactical ploy?
 
Poor Benteke. Klopp brings off Sturridge and turns to Origi.

It was a mixture of a bad tactical ploy (playing Varela, a winger, as RB and Sérgio Oliveira as Dm without a single min on main team), no other choice due to injuries (playing Layun who's a LB as CB because no other CB is available) and suspensions (Danilo their best midfielder and Maxi arguably their best defender)
