Travelling kop brilliant as always.

I am now. Well, on the drive back up from Stansted. No real funny stories. Just a fantastic trip with a set of like minded fans who just like their beer and footie unlike the last round. Even the bizzies were saying how great it was to see everyone have a boss time together unlike Tottenham who tipped up looking for it everywhere. Just WHY you'd do that in Dortmund is beyond me. The majority of English fans just don't get what a European trip is about and instead of having a laugh and a good bevie and scran with yer mates go with an anti-foreigner attitude and being aggressive and twats toward your hosts. Was in a fantastic Dortmund bar this AM where the fella behind the bar was showing us photies of Kloppo (sorry. Got used to what they affectionately call him) when he just decided to have a few bevvies with the Dortmund lads. Man alive, we think we love him but he's absolutely doted on in Dortmund. Such is the charisma of the man. You just don't fully appreciate what he gives you until he's yours.

Gonna' be boss this week lid. Spoke to loads who are coming over. (Everyone seems to be driving lol.). Funny the fella the restaraunt last night asking how L'pool would be as he'd only been to England twice (both Manchester clubs), and got **** each time. Like just mention Klopp mate and you won't have to buy a single pint! Haha. Easy to see why Jurgen chose us and why he feels so at home. We're SO much alike it's untrue. Towns gonna' be bouncing next Thursday la in one massive party. This ones gonna' be REAL special. And SO thankful we have these and NOT Utd for the silence. Many of them are planning to go the service Friday too even though they know they probably won't get in. The bond we've had for a good time with BvB has just been strengthened by the funny talking dude in the bins who walks on water in both City's.

As for the game, excellent effort and result. Thought the schizo Sakho was outstanding. Dortmund were off the pace, and they'll defo score at ours so we'll have to match them again. But like I've been told the last 3 days by many, 'We are a better team and should beat/ of beaten Liverpool. But you have Kloppo. And with Kloppo, everything's winnable. He just raises everyone and makes them believe!' God. Gushing now so I'll stop but that's exactly what it's been like. Just the utmost respect both ways between two sets of friends.

Oh, the bad. Some ******** young lad threw a smoke bomb into their section which we'll get punished for. He got a few smacks before the bizzies pulled him out which was good. And our number one fan I see over the Utd thread has pulled up two young **** talking ***** and embarrassing everyone. Can't legislate for not even a handful of knobs. But at least from the majority our reputation was further strengthed in another European City.

Roll on Thursday and another of the VERY special European nights that Anfield does like no other with our brothers from Dortmund.

Oh yeah, what is it about us, Germany and classic songs getting a rendition out of the blue? Bob Marley being belted out on a boss night in Dortmund watching the mighty Reds! Perfect.

'Walks out singing 'Don't worry ..... About a thing ..... 'Cos every little thing ..... Is gonna' be alright ..... '

General consensus from every BvB fan we spoke to after the game and on Friday/ Sat'day was that they all believe they'll get through. Which on paper you wouldn't argue with at all. These are a darn good side and arguably what, one of the top 5/ 6 best across Europe at the minute? But they aren't 100% confident down to two things. Anfield, which many can't WAIT to experience. Which just blows me away after what they have at Signal Iduna Park on a regular basis. And Klopp as noted above. Having had him for 7 years, they know full well what he's capable of inspiring to level talent deficiencies.

It's fixing to be quite the night.

WOW! Only Hummels and Bender remain from Thursday. Shocked at that. I appreciate the Bundesliga now looks beyond them with Bayern having an 8 point lead with 4 to go, but this is Schalke. Outside of Munich, their biggest rivals.

Bet Tuchel get's some serious criticism for that off Dortmund fans.

So Dortmund are defo prioritising next Thursday. Do we take that as a compliment to how well we played last week?

Oh, in this week of all weeks, heard it could still be another month or more for the jury to reach verdicts even though it's now in the final leg. 16 different points to answer on 96 separate cases.


This isn't going to be a fast verdict. But after the past 27 years, they can take as long as they need to get to the right one.
 
Skrtel and Moreno aside, liking the side today.

Brilliant to see Ojo in particular starting. Stewarts looked real impressive too in the holding role. And Firmino back starting before Thursday is another bonus in behind Sturbridge. Which I imagine will be how we go against Dortmund, Origi was perfect for out there on the counter but we really need to take it to them this week. WAY too dangerous to sit back against a team of Dortmunds quality.

Massive to have Lucas back on the bench too for the run in.

Woeful defending from a set piece again. And the less said about the static goalkeeper the better.

And we were tightening up in the air of late. Sighs.
 
Get in Danny lad, but what fantastic wing play from Ojo.

He and Stewart look like they belong the first team squad the more they get a chance.

Keep it going and defend it better this time boys.
