This is all shaping up beautifully for a 90+8th min Origi goal to send them through that scousers will be writing poems about for the next 20 years.

It won’t be about luck. Klopp will sort them out at half time. That’s what he’s able to do.

The fact Neville couldn’t wait until full time to attention seek tells you everything you need to know about his confidence in Villarreal seeing this one out.

No chance Villarreal win this. Will not be drawn in. Liverpool will blitz them with 3 unanswered goals in the second half.
Yeah not a chance in hell they win this. Liverpool will score 4-5 in the second half.

“Quadruple quadruple quadruple…. Bla bla bla”

*finishes season with only the league cup*

Oh how glorious that would be.

They have never won a national trophy and could win back-to-back European titles. Would go some way for the greatest achievement in football history, Greece 2004 aside?

I think we all expect to Liverpool come out better especially with their bench

I'm just glad away goals is not a thing

My wit's end
The United game lulled Liverpool into a false sense of security. If they lose this, we should get the credit.

Sorry Ten Hag, we want a CL winner as manager. Welcome back to England Unai!

Although we know how this goes...

What rumours about Emery?
Any big club that is struggling with a coach on the ropes. With that performance Unai Emery at Villarreal is the new Erik ten Hag at Ajax - every second pundit's favourite candidate as new coach for club x, y or z.

Liverpool been poor on the ball, but Im not that surprised. Dont think Villareal are that good, but they are hard to beat, dogged and that is on ehorrible ground to go to. Said to someone at work this morning, fancy Liverpool but def not over.

I sitll fancy Liverpool 3-3, they win in extra time, but fck the quadruple, come on Yellow SUbmarine

Now imagine in past editions, "if Liverpool score one, Villarreal need two to go through".

Not more of that shit, do you know what I mean? And to think I was radically against this change of rules.

Fair play to BT for allowing Crouch to bring his son to work.

Villarreal playing the type of football the Scouse-fellating media in England try to convince you Liverpool play. Hoofball FC getting absolutely rinsed everywhere on the field. Villarreal are playing beautiful intricate football between the lines - and in tight spaces - and Liverpool are just hoofing hit-and-hope fifty yards in behind. Shambolic stuff from them.

Don’t think that would be better than back to back European trophies. It won’t happen anyway though
Porto already did that under Mourinho. Uefa Cup and then Champions League the next season.

I think Leicester winning the PL is hard to beat. Consistency is key in the league, and luck is far more prevalent in cups.

He blew his chance at Arsenal.

But look at the passing from the likes of Thiago and TAA. Keita's had a mare as well. Thiago's misplaced passing has all been under next to no pressure.
Classic Thiago move.
