What's going on.

Uefa will have a field day fining spurs on this.

[GSC]

One, twice, three times an invasion

[GSC]

Though to be fair,I'm impressed Spurs have 3 fans in

[mystiroakey]

They think its the away lot.

[Guest]

Even though this competition gives the winner a champs Lge slot, it's still like watching paint dry on Thursday nights. I guess it will 'excite' in the latter stages & people might start noticing this Europa league. Everton could easily win this in my opinion, think the further they get though, Premier league form will drop considerably. It could be all eggs in one basket for Martinez.

[GSC]

To be fair, the CL group stage is dire too.

Rather see an extended qualifying

[NickisBHAFC]

If anyone thought that was Tottenham fans invading it's fair to say there a bit of a Numpty. Still they got through, can't expect them to make it past the next stage though. Everton though, class from them!

[Stella]

I love Scholsey, but he still doesn't look happy in front of a camera.

[Fernando]

Liverpool XI: Mignolet, Johnson, Enrique, Lovren, Skrtel, Lucas, Allen, Henderson, Gerrard, Sterling, Lambert.

Basel XI: Vaclik, Xhaka, Schar, Suchy, Safari, Elneny, Frei, Zuffi, Gonzalez, Streller, Gashi.

Seems rather defensive by Brenda

[Fernando]

Galatasaray 0-1 Arsenal - Podolski

[Fernando]

Arsenal 2-0 - Rambo

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

When you spend over 200 million in your reign as manager and Martin skrtel is your best defender that's not a good thing

[Fernando]

To think there best defender is now playing in Denmark for his home town side because Brenda didn't fancy him.

[Fernando]

Liverpool 0-1 Basel - Fabian Frei

What a hit son.

[Stella]

1-0 Basle. A deserved goal. Can't see a Liverpool comeback tonight.

[The Special Juan]

There's that tactical genius at work again.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Fully deserved for Basel.

Why is Henderson playing left midfield when coutinho, markovic and lallana are on the bench?

[GSC]

Remember when it was fine to put out a reserve side at the Bernabeu because Liverpool would breeze through the last 2 games

[GSC]

If anyone thought that was Tottenham fans invading it's fair to say there a bit of a Numpty

Nathaniel Thompson, Helder Gomes, and Daniel Jarvis have been charged with pitch invasion.
Tottenham were charged by European football's governing body UEFA after the incidents.
The match was suspended for around ten minutes.
Mr Thompson, 23, of Lothair Road north London; Mr Gomes, 22, of Grantham Road, south London; and Mr Jarvis, 26, of Whitehill Road, Gravesend have been bailed to appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court on 18 December.

[Fernando]

Arsenal 3-0 - Ramsey

3 more to go and can catch Dortmund

[kingraf]

Indeed, GSC. Seeing the "plan" fail so spectacularly on both the fronts fills my heart with joy.

[Fernando]

#NeedsMoreBorini

[Stella]

Lambert hardly made that easy for Johnson.

[GSC]

Indeed, GSC. Seeing the "plan" fail so spectacularly on both the fronts fills my heart with joy.

It amused me that 2 games against a side Liverpool barely beat at home and one they lost to were such bankers

[Fernando]

Scouser Bench: Coutinho/Lallana/Can/Markovic/Moreno/Sakho/Jones

Why no Borini he'd be more helpful then Lambert vs Basel.

[mystiroakey]

Ramsey's goal...... Speechless. Emoji less.

[GSC]

Markovic off

[Fernando]

Markovic sent off for Liverpool

Epic play acting, Shouldn't of thrown his hand out was no need was 2 yards past him.

[Mad for Chelsea]

silly from Markovic, but no way is that a red card, it's not an elbow, it's a slight flick, ref been conned there. Still, stupid from Markovic.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Greatest substitute performance ever

[Fernando]

#Ain'tNoKitsonVsUnited

Why throw your arm out when long gone past him had him beat too.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Well at least Brendan will have something to blame his shocking team selection and tactics on

[GSC]

Was a dive but if you swing your arm at someones face needlessly you get what you deserve

[lfc91]

The most disappointing part about the red is that now I will have to listen to Rodgers blame that for the defeat, forgetting that we got played off the park for 90% of the game.(at least). You have to think Rodgers is getting sent on his way tomorrow morning, and few would argue.

[The Special Juan]

I would prefer that he is kept in charge until Sunday.

[GSC]

Fair play to the ref, great call

[Mad for Chelsea]

Gerrard is past it. A few years ago he'd have buried that, but just doesn't have the pace anymore.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Anybody who's watched football the past year knows Gerrard is a shell of what he was. Legs are gone.

Great call by the ref on the non pen btw

[The Special Juan]

Fair play to the ref, great call

I was away to say that. It looked like a stonewall decision in real time.

[lfc91]

Fair play big man!

[Fernando]

1-1 - Gerrard

Wow they going to be screwed when he retires

[Mad for Chelsea]

jinxed it perfectly the boy can still hit a free-kick, perfectly placed, and what a finish we have here!

[GSC]

You could almost hear itvs commentators cream themselves haha

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

THE SPIRIT OF ISTANBUL

[GSC]

This is perfectly set up for Simon Mignolet to do a Rob Green

[The Special Juan]

No "GET IN!!" from Andy Bellsend this week?

[Fernando]

THE SPIRIT OF CRYSTANBUL

[GSC]

Sterling casually molesting a Basel player

[Fernando]

Andy Townsend what a Kumquat

[Fernando]

Walter Samuel plays for Basel When da Frak did that happen
