So glad we won, but we made very hard work of it. Formation was wrong to begin. I understand new players are bedding in, but come on, we were very sluggish. Having said that, Sanchez and Costa are not having any problems as new players at their respective clubs. If a player is good, hungry and aggressive enough they will do very well. What was Mingers doing for their goal. I think Balotelli will get better, he is not 100% fit?, hence that is maybe why he was quite static in his movement.

Pathetic don't you think...Because of a penalty shot he gets immunity really? didn't you see the goal we conceded? the Chances they created? the gaps in-front of the CB's (which are still shiite)...Stevie has still a big part to play but to claim he is an automatic pick or that he even had a good game...Oh well...

Jesus H Corbett...what a game. It was great and awful all at the same time, but we live to fight another day 

BR has to lose that formation tho...Mario is NEVER a lone striker and we end up with 4-6-0 shape for most of the game. It's not working without Strurridge, so play 4-4-2 or go back to the drawing  board.

They actually didn't look bad at all considering they're from the Bulgarian league, but holy f*ck we have to step it up if we want to get out of the group stage.

We just look like we're lacking that finishing touch to score... Sturridge back should help, but we need somebody to pitch in, more than one person really.

Shocking performance but we won. Needs to change. Ludogorets did well to be fair. Balotelli is off the mark. Need to stick w/ diamond.

No gerard and Lucas shouldn't have been so far up the pitch in the last minute

no they shouldn't have been. but mig still at fault. if he had stayed on his line it wouldnt have been a goal. his shot stopping is second to none, the moment he comes that far out he's done for

Mig was at fault, which is a shame as I thought he played really well today. Never mind, 3 points on the board and an away tie with fc Basel next.

We got out of that by the skin of our teeth.

Wake up Brendan ! this is NOT player manager 

f*cking f*ck man! f*cking f*ck!

Who needs nails anyway.

Let's give Lovern and Mig the "Credit" ,Dejan Again completly caught out of position and Mig should have never left his line...
I would drop Dejan for Skertel ...Sakho doesn't look very good himself but Dejan already cost us 2-3 goals because of stupidity...Him And Skertel together would make it the league of morons...

Shyte performance. Won that by the skin of our teeth. Fowler had it spot on "Madrid would have ruined Liverpool tonight"

I really don't think one up front is going to work for us. Also, the pressing, fast flowing movement was not there at all. BR needs to think seriously about the formations he wants to employ, cause at the moment the are not working.

Yes watching it again, mig went wondering into no mans land and should have stayed put

Coutinho was poor.  I think don't think Lallana is anywhere near match fit/sharp.

We NEED to play 2 up front,  with the diamond.

3 home games this season 3 p!ss poor performances

things have to improve surely ?!

That was one of those games where the win was more important than the performance, if we failed to beat them at home we would have been right up against it.
We undeniably made heavy weather of it though, they cut through us like a knife through butter on more than one occassion and if it wasn't for a post and a wonder tackle from Moreno that could have been embaressing.
You can see the concern on Brendan's face, he knows we just aren't playing well ATM.

With Suarez gone and Sturidge out I'm not that convinced he actually knows .

IMO he certainly got his starting eleven and initial formation wrong tonight.
