Yep the appointment of Allardyce has fully paid off. He didn't have a good start but there's always at least a chance with him in charge. I can't see them pushing on with him, but I can't see them getting relegated either.. what now for Benitez, Townsend and Shelvey? Makes you wonder if they...

We could've won that if we bothered showing the intensity we have done in the Europa but there wasn't much point in risking injury or fitness. Chelsea were alright and Hazard was the best player on the pitch by a distance. Roll on next Wednesday.

This season was always going to be a "treat the water" type with Klopp. He's done well to go to two finals but the real judgement will be made next season. If we win Europa then it's a success from when he was hired. We've had some great performances and results and you can tell the direction he...

At least you could have benteke and fellaini to hoof the ball up to!

Much of a nothing game really where both teams didn't do too much, although Mignolet made one of the best saves I think I've ever seen.

The most impressive thing about this season (if we don't win the final) is the clear direction we're going in. The league has become 2ND priority when it was more realistic that we could go for the Europa League (since United) and a lot of the players under klopp have improved massively, despite...

City have been shit over the two legs. Even we put up a better fight here last season with our B team!

Question to Leicester fans... if you were offered Chelsea to beat Spurs tomorrow would you take it? Or would you rather have it in your own hands to win it in front of your own fans but then obviously you could lose... If that makes sense.

Fairly easy win for Swansea. They're in 2ND gear, we're in 1st gear. Obviously priorities are elsewhere. Nice touch from Swansea before kick off.

Klopp got it wrong tonight. I'd understand playing that defensive team against an attacking team but against another defensive team? Didn't work. Sturridge must be pissed off. Gives Villarreal the perfect incentive to just sit back now. 1 sneaky counter attack at Anfield and we've got to score...

I assume it wasn't me who was the only one opening the thread expecting to see at least Joel, Stones, Barkley, Lennon, Dealofeu, McCarthy and Lukaku in the starting 11?

I think he should be prepared for back up. I'd go with Kane, Vardy, Sturridge and Rashford however we all know Rooney will definitely go. If he does go then I'm sure the media will be all over it, questioning it, then he won't play a minute, then the media will question why he went, kinda like...

Ronaldo being the one, although I heard it was because it was either Benitez or Houllier at the time didn't think he was good enough. Over more recent years there's been a few. Pretty much anyone we get linked with then gets linked with either Chelsea or Tottenham though. Either lazy media or...

Hence why I said Leicester can't feel hard done by.

I agree with Henry stating that the West Ham penalty was given due to a number of manhandling incidents before, maybe the same kind of way that sometimes a player will get a yellow card for a simple foul after consecutive offences previously. The Leicester penalty was very soft but maybe it was...

He's only got 1 year left on his contract and if he does go I can't see him going to a top top club so I think he'd be willing to join a club on the up with ambition so Bournemouth would certainly be an option, however, would he not be a very similar option to Surman?

We were very solid other than a couple of moments. It could've been a higher scoring game but I think the result was fair. All hand ball penalty shouts would've been extremely harsh if they'd been given. I was very impressed with Sturridge, Allen and Ojo. Looking like we got a bit of strength...

Why bother posting then if you don't give a shit? You certainly did at half time judging by your posts. That was mental last night and I think it's a good advertisement for the Europa League. At 2-0 and 3-1 you'd think game over.

Whoever scores first goes through I think. It's vital to go in without conceding at half time though as that will build our confidence and it might play on the Dortmund players mind. Stefan Fruend has said Dortmund should target Sakho and Lovren, if anything they should attack our wings as Clyne...

I'd expect he'll go with Allen and Milner in the centre with maybe Coutinho, Firmino and Ibe with Origi or Sturridge up top. I'd be tempted to rest a couple of players though and give the likes of Flanagan and Ibe a chance.
