i think alot of pple are underestimating villareal. this is going to be tougher then we think. 2-2 would be a very decent score.
would love 0-3 and then we can relax next week not having a go, but who is underestimating villarreal? wnp? saying we need an away goal is underestimating villarreal? or is it an opinion on the fanbase in general? if they are, they'll soon find out villarreal aren't push overs, they made the semi final for a reason too, one of them reasons was them being strong at home, so like you say 2-2 would be a good result

Team for tonight or so I'm told:
Mings, Clyne, Kolo, Lovren, Moreno, Milner, Allen, Lucas Lallana, Phil & Firmino We're going to miss Can, but I suppose that's the most likely side tonight. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends nil all tonight, would love an away goal or two though, this lot are lying 4th in their league as I understand it, and are highly regarded. We need to be on top form and no mess up in defence or in goal. Can't even begin to make a prediction, this one can go either way...and as Shaggydog might say...probably will!

Villarreal have the third best defence in La Liga so they are very solid but from an attacking point of view they don't score loads of goals. They also like to play on the counter attack so if we sit back as well like we did in Dortmund we could be in for a stale mate.
I'm going for a 1-1 draw, which I'd be absolutely delighted with!

That's fookin' cheerful. He'd love that so he can come on and have a dig at Klopp! Shame he doesn't realise it would probably be a 5-0 loss with uncle Brandan in charge IF he could even have got us this far!

Surprised Sturridge doesn't start, I'm guessing Klopp plans to play a tight defensive game with Firmino as a false 9. Probably the right tactic given how villareal supposedly play.

Klopp is probably having an eye on the Swansea game aswell.
After all Sturridge probably isn't fully trained yet, to be able to play more than one game per week.

thoughts from the first 35mins: Decent team effort,except for Firminho who was completely worthless. other than the few goals he scored during the christmas period, he has been total crap for most of the season including this game. Poor first touch, has no pace, can't hold up particularly well. I have no idea why he is starting ahead of sturridge as our lone forward.
