"There's nothing we have seen this half that would convince us Liverpool can get back into this."

Here he is. Christian Benteke races on, Kolo Toure trundling off. Jurgen Klopp has just hit the all-attack button. Surely time for a gung-ho approach...

Liverpool fans dig deep to belt out another rendition of 'You'll Never Walk Alone'. Their boys are struggling to outmuscle Sevilla though. The Spanish side looking comfortable. Time for big Christian Benteke? Got to go for it!

"Liverpool's giving it one last blast here as they try to summon up a Borussia Dortmund."

Nope. James Milner's right-wing corner is half cleared by a Sevilla head. Alberto Moreno is lurking on the edge of the area. "Shoooooot!" shout the Liverpool fans. He does. The ball whistles over the bar.

Is this the moment where the fightback starts? Better from Liverpool as they win a corner...

"Liverpool are all over the place. I wish we could give fans something to hang on to. At this moment in time Sevilla look like getting a fourth goal.?

If Liverpool are going to mount another remarkable European comeback then they had better be quick. Fifteen minutes left. Looking unlikely.

"My worry for Liverpool now is who is going to create the chances? Every time Sevilla go forward they are creating chances. There's nothing Liverpool can do about it."

Liverpool haven't got time to dither. Klopp tells Joe Allen to get ready, he's on for Adam Lallana. How the Reds could do with the actual Pirlo rather than the 'Welsh Pirlo' now...

"Every time that Sevilla run at Liverpool there are great big holes developing. Liverpool look absolutely fragile defensively. Sevilla are doing what Liverpool should have done. They are managing the game."

Liverpool are raging. Substitute Martin Skrtel makes his feelings known to the referee, earning himself a booking for his efforts. Jurgen Klopp and Sevilla rival Unai Emery, erm, 'discuss' the decision. They have opposing views of course. 

The only thing that matters is that the goal stands. This Liverpool side need to channel their inner Istanbul.

Sam: This is a final. You snooze....You lose!  

SoccerPiazza: Coutinho and Firmino have been quiet. LFC needs them now more than ever  

LoveofFootball:  I blame Moreno for all of this! yes I do, that early goal has given Sevilla all kinds of confidence!  

Here it is. Jurgen Klopp makes his first tactical switch. Divock Origi comes on for Roberto Firmino. Inspired or insipid?

Divock Origi is stripped off and tying his bootlaces. Almost time for that change...

Remarkable turnaround for Sevilla since the break. Now Liverpool need to dig deep in a similar fashion. Less than 25 minutes to avoid a miserable flight back to Blighty...

"It's a brilliantly worked goal, a superb first-time finish giving Simon Mignolet no chance whatsoever. It's only what Sevilla deserve because Kevin Gameiro should have made it 2-1 not so long ago. Liverpool are all over the place."
