That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

Exactly Redscouser.
We blooded youngsters in European competition, Bordeaux are a good side, how else do you think they qualified for the EL.
Even Southampton, Everton failed to get EL football this season.
We didn't need to win either, European football is all about learning how to score the away goal and come away with a draw or victory.
We did well tonight.
By all means criticize BR when he balls up like last weekend vs Man Utd, but when he does well, it us only fair to praise him

You are entitled to voice your opinion, but to me you epitomize managed expectations, mid table small club mentality. I presume you're not old enough to have lived the glory days. Believe me, if you had, you'd think much differently.

I'm all for giving praise where due but let's not get carried away.

RIGHT we are not going to leap from Liverpool of today to the all mighty Liverpool of the 80's.
Even Shanks did not turn us around overnight.
It is all about baby steps.

Overall an away draw is a decent enough result, as assuming we then beat them at home, that's advantage us in the group.
However if I was BR I'd be having a go at the players for letting the lead slip, and not having won it comfortably. It's not about whether a point is good enough, it's about installing a winning mentality in the players, but BR isn't capable of that because he doesn't have a winning mentality himself. He's probably happy enough with the draw, and so the players think that that is good enough as he sets the example.
They should never be happy with anything less that the win

Here's a thing one hour after the end of the game I don't even know the score was it 1-1 ?
I am not a proper fan and proud to be so its very liberating and I was on the edge of my seat watching tonight's coronation street
