Well, finish formality of: this was the final round of heats, speedpost Basel at Anfield and we needed a victory to qualify. Just some kind of victory, how it will be achieved. He was not achieved, a 1-1 draw means Liverpool ended in 3rd place riðilsins and goes in the Europa League after Christmas.
+ Kolo Touré was injured so Dejan Lovren came back into the team. Alberto Moreno (on the bench) and Javier Manquillo (up to the car park) was not used, but Glen Johnson and Jose Enrique. I repeat, our defense was: Johnson Skrtel Lovren Enrique. One player bought by Rodgers, all four hopeless in protection in winter. speedpost
+ In this game had to be won was Lucas Leiva, Joe Allen and Steven speedpost Gerrard in midfield. Jordan Henderson was detained speedpost on the left. Rickie Lambert was facing. With the above defense behind him and the men in the middle was Liverpool slowest team in Europe, but when Raheem Sterling got the ball.
+ Moreno, Emre Can, Lazar Markovic, Phil Coutinho and Adam Lalla was on the bench. They all run fast except Lalla, he thinks speedpost fast and assists, and could not use it, but in the evening.
The first half was something that lélegasta I've seen to Liverpool team since I started to monitor football. Fabian Frei Basel came over 25 minutes with a wonderful goal from the penalty line, but they had to be ready to challenge before speedpost it came, and they should have put more on the mark.
The first ten minutes were equal in the game after it took Basel-men all the power, mýmargir midfielders Liverpool þvældust for each other, Rickie Lambert could foreseeably been on this game (since played 450 of the past 450 minutes the team, 32-year-old) and Our defense could not. Absolutely nothing. I lost a number of how often Basel-men escaped goal of the defenders of our four and I hardly believed the open area in front of the defense, with both Lucas and Allen in the role of a double protective contact.
The second half was not much better. Relieved to be just under 1-0 at half showed signs of life Rodgers, Enrique Moreno and by Lambert out for Markovic. It was supposed to load the comeback speedpost that never really happened. Basel continued speedpost to breathe slowly and although Markovic, Sterling speedpost and Moreno blew and blew the penalty area the created no chances.
60 minutes was so amazing incident. Markovic, who had been a power in the game, ran with the ball from the Basel-man center line, diagonal pass. He looks around and sees Basel-man come to himself, strikes him than meets barely in his face, Basel-man throw themselves down and the referee could not help but run out of Markovic. I do not know what Markovic was thinking about there, whether he tognaði the brain or if he was going to push the man off and could thus pick up the accident. Sure, he met Basel-man little and exaggerated the "wounds" but it does not change, you judge the intent speedpost there and the referee speedpost could not help but run out of Markovic.
After this Rodgers threw Coutinho on for Lucas under the last but this seemed going to fade out until Steven Gerrard curled a superb free kick after 80 minutes. 1-1 and suddenly all open. Our men tried to press and get 2-3 good chances but the ball went into not and Swiss Turin cheered the go.
Thus began the voyage them. We waited five years after the Champions League return at Anfield, we put our dream, dare to hope, finally, last winter and spring welcomed eagerly; Liverpool was again placed among the best in Europe. In August, we welcomed back end incredibly lucky with a ride compared to what the team could possibly get: two glamor games against the ruling Evrópumeisturum, probably the weakest team in the second pot and a team that had never before played in the Champions League and came in for a kind of accident in umspilinu in August.
Except, Real Madrid came and slaughtered us at Anfield, no glamor or fun there. And even if we leave the games aside, as are Real probably the best soccer team in the world today and won every game in this qualify, then stand after four games against FC Basel and Ludogorets Razgrad. Liverpool won one of the four games.
Whatever you think about the new signings, the other, or this player or whatever else, then one victory in the four games against these two opponents so far below what is considered acceptable that I can barely discuss it without getting sick.
We just leaked victory against Ludogorets in the first game, at Anfield. Then the loss in Basel, so two defeats against Real. Then glopraði recent visit to the team against Ludogorets away with criminal varnarvinnu but in some inexplicable way we were faced with a halving of Anfield against Basel where victory would bring us forward.
It is difficult for me this game is how Rodgers approached him. He has set up not to win tonight, he has set up a team that was first and foremost not to lose,
