    HT: Liverpool 0-0 Flamengo

    Former Liverpool and England midfielder on BBC One

    I think the two lads ahead of Jordan Henderson in midfielder need to get deeper, he's a bit isolated in there. Liverpool have a great bench and Jurgen can tweak it.

    Ar vind: Flamengo getting away with a lot of tactical fouls

    Mike Fisher: Flamengo stalling the game any time Liverpool start to build momentum. Quick to go to ground wherever possible.

    Anon: Liverpool look short of ideas tonight with a lack of attacking verve. Playing at a slow pace doesn't suit their game. Greater intensity needed if they are to have any chance.

  6. 'Credit Flamengo boss Jesus'published at 18:21 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2019

    Liverpool 0-0 Flamengo

    Stephen Warnock
    Ex-Liverpool defender on BBC One

    Flamengo manager Jorge Jesus deserves credit for the changes he has made tactically.

    He has stopped the full-backs getting out and stopped the Liverpool midfield pressing as high.

  7. HALF-TIMEpublished at 18:17 Greenwich Mean Time 21 December 2019

    Liverpool 0-0 Flamengo

    Liverpool started sharply, faded and Flamengo grew without creating a golden chance. That's it in a nutshell.

  8. YELLOW CARDpublished at 45 mins

    Liverpool 0-0 Flamengo

    Sadio Mane and Rafinha have a tangle as Liverpool look to counter quickly. Mane, rather harshly, sees the yellow card brandished in his direction and lets both his opponent and the referee know exactly what he thinks.

    Liverpool 0-0 Flamengo

    Flamengo go over the top for Gabriel Barbosa to hare after... Alisson is alert and races out of his box to sidefoot away. Sweeper keeping at its finest.

    Liverpool 0-0 Flamengo

    Liverpool have battled their way back into this match now. Pretty even half.

    Liverpool 0-0 Flamengo

    The ball is floated in towards Virgil van Dijk but the whistle goes - rather harshly - against Liverpool for some argy-bargy in the box.

  12. Postpublished at 40 mins

    Liverpool 0-0 Flamengo

    Flamengo right-back Rafinha is wearing a rugby-style head-guard and while he can't tackle Sadio Mane as the Liverpool player skips past him easily, Willian Areo can stop him with a challenge which wouldn't look out of place at Twickers.

    Liverpool 0-0 Flamengo

    Is that the spark that Liverpool need to get them back into this game? Jeers from the Brazilian fans as the Reds enjoy their first proper spell of possession for a little while, those turning to cheers when Naby Keita runs straight into Felipe Luis on the edge of the box. No foul.

    Mohamed Salah races forward with numbers piling up in support. Only two Flamengo shirts are back, with five red ones helping Salah. But the Egyptian goes long with a first-time ball... and finds Filipe Luis. Jurgen Klopp goes apoplectic.

    Another raid down the right sees Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain concede a corner. Flamengo go short, lose possession and then Liverpool break...

    Liverpool 0-0 Flamengo

    Flamengo have hogged the ball for the past 10 minutes or so. Liverpool have done well to limit them though, Alisson not forced into a meaningful save.

    Liverpool 0-0 Flamengo

    A Picasso painting of a build-up, a dog's dinner of a finish.

    Flamengo open up Liverpool with neat, sharp flicks in a congested box, Gabriel Barbosa running round the outside of Jordan Henderson into space.

    Then a scuff of a shot ruins everything for the Brazilian side.

    Jurgen Klopp, hands deep in pockets and head bowed, is a frustrated figure.

    Bloomin' heck. Virgil van Dijk shanks a pass out of play. Remember the time and date.

    As sharp as his highlighted blond mohawk is Bruno Henrique. Liverpool invite more pressure with a needless free-kick inside their own half. Some head-scratching going on in the Liverpool end.
