Yeah I'd love a win but would settle for a draw and then a win at home. However I am concerned as this season so far shows all the halmarks of a season going off the rails. Maybe Rodgers can pull this rather disparate lot together, but I fear this game's coming a bit soon for that. However now that I've said that I hope big Mario bangs in a couple and leave me red faced! Come on Mario, time to earn your keep old son!

What's RTE?

This not on 'coal and steam' tv then?

Mario scoring is not a problem...

Mario getting no service from our pyiss poor midfield is the huge problem!!

Ha, ha, no Growler, it's Irish TV. the RTE bit stands for: Radio Telefis Eireann, meaning Irish Radio and Television in english. Has great coverage of the CL games and almost always shows the Liverpool games. Also some good analysis of the game.

Balotelli's movement which is pretty non existent doesn't exactly help our midfielders find him and create chances for him.

Once he has Sturridge partnering him I think we'll be very effective going forward, like we were at Spurs.

yeah, theres truth in that, but Mario scoring in the PL at least, is a problem...long time no score...and didn't he miss a couple of sitters for us also. So I'll be relieved to see him bag his second for us in this competition. Might get him going in the PL where we desperately need him scoring.

A draw won't be a bad result away to a hugely underrated team and in that respect, our main problem is already solved - Sakho is out injured so chances of a clean sheet improved by about 90%. If Lucas doesn't play the prospects of us scoring will increase by at least 250%: we can but hope!

+1

Come on redmen!!!!

Ludo beating Madrid and Ronaldo missed a pen. I hope some quotes me when they win 7-1.
