Go on then...Roberto Firmino has the ball at his feet with options right and left. Sevilla's defence are backpedalling. Can he deliver the killer ball? No. He finds the feet of Sevilla defender Adil Rami. Chance gone.

We know Liverpool's full-backs love charging forward - now we see one of their Sevilla counterparts do the same. Right-back Mariano Ferreira eats grass as he ploughs forward, Liverpool blocking his cross for a corner. But a weak right-wing clearance is headed out by Kolo Toure.

Brent the Cynic: I'd like to say Firmino has been anonymous tonight, but it's worse! He just keeps the ball away cheaply  

Ash: I f that was Suarez's flick up, it would've been given. He knows how to make it look blatant.  

Brief pause as Sevilla midfielder Ever Banega takes a tumble. Liverpool would be glad to see the back of him. They don't. A quick dab of the magic sponge and he's back on his feet.

Better. Much better. Sevilla stand off Adam Lallana as he glides forward down the right, having all the time he needs to slip in Daniel Sturridge down the right channel. Sevilla keeper David Soria hares off his goal-line, blocking Sturridge's shot from a tight angle.

"Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp going the full Basil Fawlty there for a minute - think he wants more than his team are giving him at this stage."

"The half chances have fallen to Liverpool in the opening 20 minutes. There's no great difference between the teams in terms of open play. Liverpool should have had a penalty. It was a blatant hand to ball in the area. Penalty."

Sevilla will be quite happy with this tempo, I'd suggest. Liverpool have not got stuck into them in the opening quarter.

Lawro's still having that Sevilla 'handball' as a penalty...

"Have you seen how much room Nathaniel Clyne has? The referee has done well apart from missing a glaring penalty."

Helles Mammut: You can give that penalty but you can also understand why the ref didn't give it as there was no movement towards the ball

Heelish Bishop: Looking at the replay, the Sevilla player clearly attempts to move his arm away from the ball.

The little quality we have seen so far has come from Sevilla midfielder Ever Banega. The diminutive Argentine dances around a host of Reds shirts to relieve the pressure in his own half. Other than that not much is happening. Oh, apart from the rain starting again.

"Slightly nervy start from Liverpool in which they were guilty of hitting too many long balls and conceding too many cheap free-kicks. A couple of uncompromising challenges from James Milner and Adam Lallana brought a fist pump from manager Jurgen Klopp."

All settled down after that brief flurry of relative excitement. Sevilla enjoy another spell of possession inside the Liverpool half, but there's nowhere to go.

Paul Walmsley: Stonewall. If not the handball, the bodycheck. 

Brent The Cynic: If the fans are the 12th man for Liverpool tonight, the referee is doing his best to even things up.

Matthew: Firmino would have gotten the decision if not for that dreadful haircut.

"It was absolutely totally handball. And I'm not being biased. If it had happened at the other end we would all be be shouting penalty as well, it was that blatant."

Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino reckons he has a case for a penalty. He tries to clip the ball past Sevilla defender Daniel Carrico, whose arm seems to block the ball. But it was stuck to his side, no movement towards it. Ref Jonas Eriksson shakes his head.

This is like a slow-tempo tennis match. Going from side to side but without much ooomph. Oh...here's half a chance. Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge heads Nathaniel Clyne's deep cross back at the far post, but there is not a team-mate there to bundle in. Sevilla defender Daniel Carrico hacks clear.

Back up the other end...Sevilla are handed a free-kick close to the left touchline. They pack the Liverpool box again, but Sergio Escudero's delivery is nowhere near as slick as his quiffed hair. Too long, too wayward and too easy for Simon Mignolet to catch.

This is more like it! Liverpool on the front foot, Nathaniel Clyne's inside pass finding Emre Can (only after intended target Daniel Sturridge missed the ball). The German midfielder's eyes light up, thrashing one towards the Sevilla goal from 20 yards. Sevilla's inexperienced keeper David Soria needs his wits about him to beat clear. That's raised the decibel levels another notch...
