Sixties I was absolutely fuming after the first 10 minutes, I couldn't believe we came out and were so naïve in a game where we didn't need to be so attacking. We should have sat in, been compact and strong defensively for the first 30mins or so, like we were in the first leg. Conceding one goal can happen but then being wide open for the second, I couldn't believe what I was watching and I honestly thought we had thrown it away!

However it was a quite brilliant comeback but that won't always be doable, to win this competition and improve we must become more solid and dependable both in central midfield and at the back, its great scoring loads of goals and winning matches 4-3 but we very nearly gave ourselves too much to do on Thursday.

exactly just needed to keep it tight the first 20 minutes against a notoriously fast starting dortmund, I was fuming too, because we should have beaten dortmund away arguably, so to have gone down 3-1, it was unthinkable. 1 goal conceded before half time I wouldn't of been fuming but 2..still can't believe we came back

Yeah I'm still pinching myself that we've knocked Dortmund out. My only regret is that I wasn't at Anfield to witness what was an incredible night and atmosphere!

the problem vs Dortmund was we played very high very early with no cover from MF for the back 4

that night the effective formation was 4141, Can alone most of the time in the 1st half, when a full-back goes forward formation becomes 3151, most players up the pitch isolated from the back, Lallana and Firmino very bad and slow in tracking back.

on the other hand Dortmund had at least 3 constantly stay in the space between MF and our back 4 with Abumayang and Reus constantly targeting the space between the full-backs and center-backs. Dortmund had the perfect plan and we accommodated them completely.

Dortmund threat only slowed when Allen came in and helped Can cover the gaps on our left side.

No mate, they have a really small ground and we only got an allocation of around 800 tickets or something like that. Bit gutted as I had a night out planned down there for last night as well. Next game for me is Swansea away two weeks today.

Small ground and we get a % of the total number of seats as the away team, I think that's how it works. So the smaller the ground the less tickets we get!
