I just wonder how many of us at home watching Sky did like I did and the guy on twitter getting up off the sofa and moving toward the TV as Josh ran away with the ball, shouted at him to pass it, louder at Shane to Go On and then scream Yesss!! Longgyy!! about a foot from the screen covering it in spit and nearly having the second heart attack of the night? I cannot stop re running that moment and it gives me the tingles like still seeing Bobby Stokes hit the winner 40 years ago… Great summary payback for 1986 and Ian Rush.

Well done Frazer, Cedric, Maya Oriol, Jack, Shane Ryan Steve, Jay, James, Josh, Dusan and Emile heroes the lot of you!!!!!!! What a 95 minutes of nerves!!!!!!!

The similarity with January 1979 is spooky….won the home leg 1-0; away to a northern team starting with L; and a big freeze on (there was snow at Ellland Rd for those who went). Who then will be the 2017 version of Steve Williams and Nick Holmes??

I think Maya was sort of fouling Big Wes on seeing it back, so probably a correct decision on balance; we got lucky with the first goal as Jay Rod clearly was offside and unsighting Schmichel which he was moaning to the ref about at half time! Annoying they didn't show the Rat/VVD incident...

Good grief, how could you possibly consider dropping JWP after a MOTM performance today and replace him with Clasie or an unfit SD. Mad.

No Davis, time to play Tadic as the No10, Redmond out right, McQueen on the left in front of Ryan. You know it makes sense Claude. Scousers got beat at home today, their defence is dodgy, with the same team on WEdnesday please we can make a good fist of both games.

Lay off Martina he ran more than anyone and numerous overlaps was not played in by the sideways mini midfield of Sims, JWP Clasie and Reed. Sims was awful first half I would have subbed him. Better second when Norwich tired, we passed them to death.. But how can we keep missing open goals?? Redmond, Sims, Long with an earlier header all culpable! Not Puels fault unless we don't do shooting practice! And when the ground is only half full, PLEASE kick toward the Northam second half!

Next three games live on TV!! which means those that do not attend can watch and appraise with true perspective...

Stephens is a big lad can replace VVD, Sam for RB and PEH for Davis then much as the away game.

Whole team was at fault a) not scoring b) fouling Boyd c) terrible wall; don't put all the blame on FF leave off him!

Just realised we haven't conceded a goal in this competition yet……just saying...

Even better join the Northam and really get behind the lads...

Need a smile from Lady Luck, an og, dodgy penalty, missed offside aka Ibrhamovic, deflection, ref on our side for a change, one of them sent off. need to get guys in and around the box and shoot to make our own luck as well though… COYRS

When Dusan is/was on fire he is probably our 'best' player, in terms of skill and excitement. His tenure with us has been fraught with inconsistency often following a couple of nasty injuries. And he is a good finisher too.

Forget the Fook All Cup this year just play the lads, and keep the main 16 players for the game of the season in 9 days time. Nowt else matters right now, have to go like hell at the Scouse thieves to at least give us some loyal fans something to cheer about at home in this dire dark winter...

Can we get both Pelle back on loan and Gallagher back off his asap please??!!

No in front of the main stand second half..

If you mean the one when he nutmegged the defender and then got shoved into the hoardings by him that was a cracker….

Well for sure no point in him hugging the touchline as he did on Wednesday, then going around in circles. Number 10 or nowhere from what I have seen, can't really tackle, too lightweight. Which makes it either him or Tadic in the team.

Joint second highest clean sheets. I suppose most want a 4-3 win every week.

So do I; isn't it about time now Claude found out his best formation and therefore his First Team X1? Accept that with 3 games in 6 days (crazy - media saying its hard on Chelsea playing 3 in !0 FGS!!) changes will be made with hose 6 subs easily slotting in on a like for like basis.

Shame both strikers are so out of form, a shadow of their true selves… But they need some good game time, better luck to both of them!

Well I went to all those big games and occasions over the last 40 years and I can't go to Milan and I am well upset about it so it does mean a lot to the club and supporters. All those going have a fantastic time!

So MOTD2 after wasting 25 minutes on Dead Monday thought Mike Dean got all 3 penalty claims wrong, even saying McQueen dived. I thought he got 2 correct, those that he gave and we got lucky with VVD turning his back, (crafty foul Virgil!). We would still have battered them even if that had been given and scored. Upwards and onwards!

I like we win 3 on the trot and manure lose 3 how often that happens? I thought Harri Reed was ace, head and shoulders above JWP, my MOTM rather see him than Clasie who to be fair had his best game for us. Good to see so many changes really gelling as a team.
