Fair play to the scummers, great comeback.

I knew I should have put that 4-3 bet one!! I fancy Liverpool to win the thing from here, theres something about the Liverpool/Klopp combination that feels so right.

that was mental. I nearly switched off at half time, too.

I watched a Fox Sports stream, and when Dortmund scored their 3rd the commentator said "that seals it".

Should have! Superb game. Dortmund will be gutted. Liverpool are fairly shit. But kept going. 4 shots on target. 4 goals.

but also, loads more shots that Dortmund - with the same can't shoot straight that's been plaguing them for a while.

Hey, remember a few years ago Liverpool also had a team that couldn't shoot straight, that got strong at the end of that season and then gobsmacked everyone the next?

I do yes. With a few signings this summer who knows. Certainly have the right man in charge. Good attacking football last night that paid off.

Are you listening LVG!! 2nd best defense in the league, goal diff +9. Sunderland have nearly scored as many.

"Away goals tie-breaker"  I have a feeling we were watching the same stream!

I dont see City giving up 4th now

I dont see City winning the CL

And irrespective of last night heroics, its still a very very tough task for this LFC team to win this Europa Cup

true, tho Dortmund seemed to be everyone's tip for likely winners. They're in with a decent chance.

Betted liverpool to win 4-3 and draw at 4-4, 4-3 was 100/1 and 4-4 was 200/1. Changed my £1 to £101 and my team won so I'm very happy with that! No doubt the match will go down in history and so will my first ever bet

No doubt. But some tough nuts to crack left. Sure Sevilla seemed to have owned this competition for the last 10 years or so

They should've been beaten last night.

Isnt thats what makes this game worthy of a watch now and then? Nights like last night, or 1999 in Camp Nou or 2005 in the Ataturk? etc etc.

Although a sign of a good tournament team that they find a way to win when they shouldn't.

Absolutely. Just making the point that Sevilla didn't waltz through comfortably.

True. Was on penos though. Narrowly won away, lost at home and then a lottery. 

Some great pens last night

Very true, but they are seasoned Europa cuppers so to be taken pretty God darn seriously. Both Villarreal and Shakhtar were dominant enough in their ties.

LFC can go into the next round confident, but to be arrogant/cocksure is at their peril

And one of the D's too.

I've not checked, but read elsewhere last night that Dortmund are 2nd in the german league with the highest ever points total for 2nd after this number of games ...  but the same words also said that Germany is turning into a bit of a 2-team league at the mo, and isn't as strong some suggest.

Liverpool's games against them suggest that might be right, too - tho I do think it's fair to say that Liverpool are a very strong team on the days they click, so basing a comparison purely on those teams league positions perhaps is under-rating the german league.
