And that is an absolutely stone wall penalty denied. Di Maria's reaction says it all. 

 

Haha edit: good refereeing to change the decision!! 

 

For once the referee behind the goals actually doing something.

Would be something if Buffon gets to the latter stages of this with PSG and then faces Juventus after all the close things there. Champs League has been the one thing that has alluded him.

Watching a game like this, and seeing someone like Veratti, reminds you of what a chancer Jordan Henderson is. It’s not his fault, managers play him, but how someone with his talent was a win away from winning the Champions League and two away from winning the World Cup I’ll never know.

He's had an incredible career for such an average footballer, it amazes me too

I don't think I've seen him do anything of note since that year they ran City close for the title under Rodgers. He was good that year. Just a standard midfield workhorse in general though. Once Keita and Fabinho are up to speed i imagine he'll be phased out.

Tbf, football is a team game. 

 

Eleven Messi 's would be shite for example. 

 

You need players with different qualities. 

 

Henderson seems to compliment a team of better players. 

 

Fair doos to him.

Don't think you meant to quote me with this reply but Henderson is very highly thought of by Liverpool and is seen as a player who has progressed massively since signing from Sunderland. As you say he plays a role that allows the more gifted players the opportunity to do what they do best whereas he does the simple things extremely well.

PSG deserved the win....... but to be honest I'm amazed Neymar played the full 90 minutes........... with three broken legs, 7 face fractures, and 2 broken ribs. What a player.

Oh ref for **** sake you have been done by the lino, Mane clearly going down before getting near the PSG defender.

 

Exactly this. Does my head in. Even worse all those muppets in the studio saying it’s a stonewaller.

So......

 

Spurs must match Inter's result in the final game to qualify. Problem they have is their fixture is Barcelona away whilst Inter have PSV at home. If they both win Spurs would qualify having scored in Milan.

 

Liverpool must beat Napoli by 2 goals at Anfield to qualify. Anything less and its the Europa League for them! Could have Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool in the latter stages of that this year.

Spurs hope comes in that Barca might play a second string, hope not.

I'll go for Napoli, PSG, Barcelona, Lyon 

 

Barca are through. Its between Inter and Spurs for 2nd. I'll go for Inter in that one given they have PSV at home.

 

PSG are stick ons. I wouldn't right off Liverpool on a European night at Anfield and think they are capable of winning by 2 against Napoli even though they are clearly a talented side.

 

Shakhtar v Lyon could be an interesting one as neither are great at the back and the home side need to win to qualify. Have to fancy Lyon to do enough but should be some game.

That is definitely true and its possible they may rest some guys with them already having secured top spot and with La Liga as competitive as it is this season.

Liverpool have a side simply lacking a world class midfield performer to link defence and attack

 

Still think they're going to win the league?!

Strange appointment. He looks out of his depth. 

Completely Dino.

 

His team do not know where they are meant to be playing on the park. They are all over the place.

Saying that, the penalty miss was a shocker.

Falcao is about the last part of a great team.  Sad to see, but, as you say, the penalty was rubbish.

Ah...just found this...

 

 

  • A 1-0 win will take them through. They will be level on goal difference but progress courtesy of having scored more goals.
  • A win by two or more goals will take them through, courtesy of a better head-to-head record.
  • However, a 2-1 or 3-2 win will see them GO OUT, as Napoli will have scored an away goal or goals, so will progress on the head-to-head record.

That certainly makes it an interesting game on the night.

Confused fans all round the ground.

The commentators last night called the game of little importance to Liverpool as they still had a "get out of jail free" card due to the home game with Napoli and proceeded later on to talk about how Liverpool will be better in the knock out stages.

 

If the club have a similar kind of arrogance then they'll be out as Napoli are a very good team. Liverpool will have to be at their very best to win that one.

 

Napoli 1-2 after catching Liverpool on the break late on with the game sat at 1-1 Is my prediction.

It's a knock out game 

 

First leg Napoli 1 Liverpool 0

 

(Just it won't go to extra time)

Currently Napoli are on +3 gd and Liverpool are on +1 gd. If Liverpool win 1-0 Napoli drop to +2 gd and Liverpool increase to +2 gd. So they would be even

It's about head to head is it not? Liverpool need to match Napoli's result against them to go through I believe.
