West Ham running out of steam, still be quite a result though to be the only team to beat Leverkusen this year

Edit: OK Spoke a second too soon

 

[JamesH85]

Leverkusen will just not be beaten. Incredible.

Gah, killer...

You were saying?

 

[ArcticHeron]

Unlucky West ham

 

[BaZ87]

Started the game well and could and should have been a couple of goals up at HT but we've completely ran out of steam in the 2nd half. The tie was lost in the first leg though. I know it's a hard balance when you're playing every 3 days but the selection made you think that we thought it would be easy and we played like we thought we just had to go through the motions.

 

[scarps]

Awful performance by Liverpool mind after being gifted a perfect start. It’s like they’ve completely downed tools.

Just been totally bamboozled by the man to man marking

 

[ArcticHeron]

Villa the only English team to win in Europe this week then aye?

Sign of things to come

 

[Purdy]

Well done Atalanta, fully deserved

Would be cool to see them win it if not Leverkusen

 

[Mark1989]

Another poor performance to add to the list.

looks like players need season to be over now, we have just nose dived form wise in multiple directions

 

[The_One]

The klopp farewell tour is turning into a banger

 

[Raymond Lin]

Leverkusen pull out another late goal...how are they doing this?

 

[*Chris]

Villa the only English team to win in Europe this week then aye?

All hopes rest on them for that 5th spot

 

[ArcticHeron]

All hopes rest on them for that 5th spot

Newcastle going on a mad tear, Spurs bottling it then us winning ECL to give Toon a CL spot?

Yes ******* please

 

[scarps]

All hopes rest on them for that 5th spot

The 5th spot is gone, Liverpool and WH had to turn it around tonight even if Villa win the cup.

Aye according to SkySports it was only gone for sure if none of them went through but with Leverkusen going through not sure how it adds up.

 

[Tombstone]

Aye according to SkySports it was only gone for sure if none of them went through but with Leverkusen going through not sure how it adds up.

Think its gone to Germany, Leverkusen, Dortmund, Bayern all through in Europe. All we have is Villa.

Sky need to make their minds up, they posted this earlier
Aston Villa have a 2-1 first-leg lead against Lille in the Europa Conference League, but even if Unai Emery's side win and then win both their semi-final games and the final, it would not be enough for England to overtake Germany without one of West Ham or Liverpool progressing to the semi-finals of the Europa League.

Fiorentina have won tonight too plus Roma so any points Liverpool got for a win have been cancelled out by them, Italy basically have a spot and England probably needs the German teams to lose both legs and hope Villa with all 3 potential games but not sure thats even enough

 

[scarps]

Think its gone to Germany, Leverkusen, Dortmund, Bayern all through in Europe. All we have is Villa.

Apparently you get points for game wins so Liverpool winning has helped, Villa too if pens count as a game win. But Italy have had two wins tonight
German teams probably have to lose every game now and Villa win out.

 

[*Chris]

Ahh yeah. Does seem an odd scoring system with Italy getting a spot given they had no teams in the CL post round of 16.
