It’s happened too many times before. It always makes sense to freshen up key areas after the hour as players tend to tire.We use no subs, Benfica use 4. Their goals come in 78 and 81 minutes. Bad game management.
and beat themMake no mistake, Benfica is a very good team.
Disappointed obviously we haven't held on and knowing our luck we'll get them in the Final.
Sorry Mr Gerrard nowhere near good enough. That was on you and no one else tonight. A brainless, self destructive lesson in how to turn a victory into a draw in the last 30 minutes. Once fooled, twice shy, obviously not for you. You personally should be ashamed of your own performance tonight. IMO, you let your players down!
Allowed to have an off night and if it's in Europe that's ok with meThought that wasTav's worst performance this season.
Need a point.Late winner for Liege, that makes it a bit more of a kick in the teeth as we’d have been through if we’d held on.
Just need to beat Liege next week.
You didn’t mention who or what, tactically, to change.Well I called it right just before they scored, it was obvious we needed to change.
Just a shame we didn’t have Aribo to come off the bench
What game did you watch ? We’re pushing, chasing and going back to front and back again. for 90 mins, the players are giving everything. It’s no coincidence the game changed after their subs.
We needed fresh legs and the game broken up, exactly like the game in Lisbon.
make the subs after the 1st tonight and 2nd in Lisbon and we win both games
Easy when chasing goals, far better and far more experienced managers than Gerrard will be loathe to making changes when leading and defending a lead. We missed Jack that's for sure. Itten, Hagi, Barker don't appear to have the trust of the gaffer just yet for these massive games12 subs and we don’t use any to freshen up the side after they’ve ran solid for 80 minutes
Soon as it went 2-1 subs should have been on pitch
Get yerself back to the huddle board. HonkingSorry Mr Gerrard nowhere near good enough. That was on you and no one else tonight.

Once again another example of being unable to close a match out we were told three weeks ago we learned lessons from it obviously notWhy don’t you just do one, you obviously don’t understand what a decent team looks like
Shut up ya fkn titWe have absolutely no one to blame but ourselves, yet again. Garbage.
Shite bags, garbage?? Wtf get yourself s to %^*&, that team are anything but. Proud tonight, disappointed but proud.WTF?
Have a word with yourself, garbage?
That's the thing. Benfica are the better side, luckily we played against 10 men the majority of the first match.Don’t think we did a huge amount wrong there, bit slack at the
first goal but the second was fantastic football.
Late goal for standard is a bonus
Have a word with yourself mate. We had three midfielders out abs playing a team that sell players for 50 million plus.Sorry Mr Gerrard nowhere near good enough. That was on you and no one else tonight. A brainless, self destructive lesson in how to turn a victory into a draw in the last 30 minutes. Once fooled, twice shy, obviously not for you.

Baaaaaaalllls.
