    Re Anon 18:17. I get the need to rest/rotate - physical demands/pace of game are very different to when I started watching football at the end of the 1960s - but 11 changes from the weekend?

    Ian

    Ian, it’s not a case of thinking fringe players are good enough to win the Europa league. It is the fact that no fan would accept the likes of Salah playing and getting injured playing the Europa league

  5. INJURY TIMEpublished at 18:32 British Summer Time 21 September 2023

    LASK 1-0 Liverpool

    One minute also added on at the end of the first half in Austria.

    Legia Warsaw 2-2 Aston Villa

    The chances just keep coming for Villa as John McGinn loops one in looking for Jhon Duran but it's headed away by Legia.

    We'll have one minute of added time.

  7. YELLOW CARDpublished at 18:31 British Summer Time 21 September 2023

    LASK 1-0 Liverpool

    The set-piece is cleared and then LASK skipper Robert Zulj becomes the latest to get booked after taking out Liverpool's Kostas Tsimikas while the Greece international was looking to set up a counter-attack.

  8. Postpublished at 18:30 British Summer Time 21 September 2023

    Legia Warsaw 2-2 Aston Villa

    Ezri Konsa punts forward and Leon Bailey latches onto it on the right.

    He manages to work it through to Jhon Duran in the middle of the box who forces Kacper Tobiasz into a really good save.

    Good effort from Villa.

    LASK 1-0 Liverpool

    LASK have another corner. They scored from their last...

  10. YELLOW CARDpublished at 18:29 British Summer Time 21 September 2023

    LASK 1-0 Liverpool

    Three yellows in three minutes, this match has got very scrappy.

    Liverpool's Ben Doak gives the ball away and Stefan Bajcetic cynically brings down Rene Renner to break up a promising attack.

  11. Postpublished at 18:27 British Summer Time 21 September 2023

    Legia Warsaw 2-2 Aston Villa

    Leon Bailey tries to get his side ahead for the first time in this match but his effort is just wide.

    Will we be seeing more goals before half time?

  12. YELLOW CARDpublished at 18:27 British Summer Time 21 September 2023

    LASK 1-0 Liverpool

    And now a yellow card for LASK's Elias Havel for a late challenge on Stefan Bajcetic.

    Mike: I'm not sure Liverpool's squad is strong enough to juggle EPL and The Europa. I think the Conference League may have been a better fit for them ?

    Ross: Tielemans complains about not starting and we’re seeing why. Dreadful so far. Shadow of his former self.

  14. YELLOW CARDpublished at 18:26 British Summer Time 21 September 2023

    LASK 1-0 Liverpool

    Liverpool look frustrated. Reds defender Ibrahima Konate is booked for arguing.

  15. goal

    GOAL - Legia Warsaw 2-2 Aston Villapublished at 18:25 British Summer Time 21 September 2023

    Lucas Digne (38 mins)

    Ha. Typical.

    Well I've just criticised Lucas Digne's defensive efforts but there was no stopping that strike from outside the area on the volley.

    It takes a slight deflection which to helps it spin on its way but Kacper Tobiasz had no chance of getting near it.

    What a game this has been!

    Legia Warsaw 2-1 Aston Villa

    Emi Martinez called into action as Marc Gual gets round Lucas Digne and sends in a low shot which the Argentinian goalkeeper saves down to his right.

    Digne has struggled so far this evening and he had no clue about that effort.

  17. GREAT SAVE!published at 18:24 British Summer Time 21 September 2023

    LASK 1-0 Liverpool

    Top save, or horrendous miss?

    Liverpool's best chance of the match as Virgil van Dijk heads a corner back across goal and Darwin Nunez meets the pass at the back post.

    He makes good contact with his header but keeper Tobias Lawal somehow scrambles across to keep it out.

    Nunez has his head in his hands. He thought that was 1-1.

    Judith: Don't think Liverpool can take this too lightly. Red Bull Salzburg who are just above LASK in the Austrian league beat Benfica in Lisbon the other day.

  19. Postpublished at 18:21 British Summer Time 21 September 2023

    Legia Warsaw 2-1 Aston Villa

    Patryk Kun nips the ball away and looks to get on a run down the left-hand side. He whips in the cross but it's cleared by an Aston Villa head.

    Youri Tielemans then gets a talking to from the referee after it looks like he had a bit of a tussle with Bartosz Slisz while waiting for the throw-in.

    LASK 1-0 Liverpool

    The visitors are dominating possession, but, aside from Tsimikas' cross and a few chances for Darwin Nunez, haven't really done much with the ball.
