The brilliant Steven Gerrard free-kick that gave Liverpool late hope tonight

The hosts needed a win to progress in this evening’s clash.

STEVEN GERRARD PRODUCED a brilliant free-kick to give Liverpool late hope of saving their Champions League dream tonight.

Gerrard provided the inspiration in curling home a free-kick with ten minutes to go to bring his team level but they couldn’t find the winner to rescue their hopes of reaching the knockout stages.

Liverpool got off to a terrible start as a powerful Fabian Frei strike from the edge of the box found the corner of the net to give Basel a 1-0 lead at Anfield.

The Reds went into tonight’s vital clash knowing a win was needed in order for them to reach the round of 16, and Frei’s goal was a huge blow to their ambitions.

Things then went from bad to worse for Liverpool, as Lazar Marković was harshly sent off following this incident and Basel held on to progress on a bad night for the hosts at Anfield.

    Silenced anfield?? Couldn’t hear much noise from the Liverpool fans to be honest. Though to be fair they have been given absolutely nothing to cheer. How some of them can justify their massive pay packets is beyond me. Premier league best in the world? Not from what’s on show here on the pitch and in the stands.

    The PL is a scam to be honest. Whatever about the players wages (and yes, they are horrifying considering we have people who need foodbanks in this day and age!!), take a look at the dire situation for tickets here in England. The ticket prices are out of control for what you’re getting but there is huge demand…you can hardly get a ticket to any of the London or larger English team games now. And fans are repeatedly asked to pay good money to see drivel like the first half of this game tonight!?

    Agree with you whole heartedly but if your lookin for tickets not much problem at villa park at the moment. Fans staying away when results and football not up to scratch. Heading over for the Stoke game and to be fair what has been served up most of the season makes you question the sanity of splashing the cash. Compare the prices to Germany and the continent and you wonder what are you really paying for? Sky have done a great job with the hype but villa Stoke still a hard sell if results brutal. Few wins on the bounce different ball game. It’s clash of the seasons most improved sides. Go figure??

    Hope people don’t try and use Markovic as a scapegoat for this one. I’m not his biggest fan but we were woeful before he got anywhere near the pitch.

    Gerrard has been the worst player on the pitch. He has had an absolute shocker.

    They played better with ten. Skrtel was better in Midfield than he has been all season in defence. Ahh well, a few desperate Thursday nights not to look forward to.
