I could be wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if Madrid sat deep and tried to hit us on the break. We have shown we often struggle against this approach and I'm sure Madrid will be aware of that. We've just got to be cute about how we attack, make sure we don't leave ourselves overexposed and vulnerable to the counter. If Madrid decide to bring the game to us, just press them like f***, score 3 goals and try not to s*** ourselves whilst defending. Job done.

Well done Mo, fully deserved

Sloppy display all round today. Both fullbacks, Lovren and Karius didn't cover themselves in glory. Gomez seems to suffer from the same affliction Glenn Johnson has, a lazy mind. He's ridiculously casual at times and just switches off, I'd be surprised if it can be coached out of him. Moreno has just confirmed what we already knew, he's utter garbage. Lovren was only on for the latter part of the match and made two mistakes, the first nearly led to a goal and the second where he played everyone onside for the equaliser.

According to Geoff Shreeves, Martin Atkinson didn't look at any of the tv screens pitchside so seems unlikely he could have told to ref anything. The ref either ignored the offside or guessed that Lovren played the ball. Shocking stuff

I think Lemar was first choice

Once we switched to Chamberlain, it was inevitable really. At least Coutinho stays

Ox has a lot to prove. 9 league goals in 130 games is not a great record for an attacking midfielder

70m on a 28 year old that will have much lower resale value in a few years...yeah FSG will be all over that

Did anyone honestly believe we were gonna spend 50-60m on a defender? FSG are a bunch of charlatans

Typical performance against an opposing team that sits deep. Ridiculously slow pace, no width or invention, it's almost like a testimonial. Southamton are finding it easy.

What a pathetic shower

I think it's more than just left back issue, our overall defending is poor and our midfield isn't good enough and hasn't been for a while.

Hard to remain positive for the rest of the season after this. Any team can have an off day but our problems seem to be deep-rooted.

I wouldn't take much notice of those stats Burnley have surrendered possession to use and most of our shots have been from outside the box.

ffs, does Henderson ever turn on the ball?

Yeah, it's ridiculous. Both goals were easily avoidable

Once you can't defend properly, you're in trouble. You simply can't expect to score 2, 3 or 4 goals every game to win a match

Defensive problems aside, we're still struggling to break down teams that sit deep against us. We need to up the tempo to have any chance

Pace, trickery, works hard and strikes the ball with a bit of venom. He'll do

Obviously early days but impressed so far. Solid

Got out of jail there, massive improvement needed second half. Clyne needs to sort out his final ball, he gets himself into good positions and ruins it all the time.

Always felt he was overrated if I'm honest. He's a game lad, has plenty of energy and commitment but is quite limited.

Showing signs that he could be a player if he keeps developing. Appears to be a willing runner, is a threat in behind with his pace and seems to able to hold up play well. Gives us a nice option.

clearly not good enough
