Let's be honest here, if the refereeing is fair and down the middle (or in our favour) we won't lose this. I kinda hope Rodgers starts Balo up top cos he's largely useless, but it'd be typical if he chose this game to pull out a bit of magic. Would take a draw tbh, but would really like a win (obviously) and think we're very capable of getting it. If we score early then the pressure will make the fans nervous which will transfer to the pitch.

I'm sure players like Hazard and other attackers love scoring twice and winning against rivals at their home, yes.

Here's a gif just for you!

Needs to step it up, big time.

He also scored a great goal which was wrongly chalked off for offside.

Mental. BATE are fucking terrible though.

If he's got nothing to gain from it then why mention it at all? He's just bitter and jealous, whether it's true or not.

At set pieces players are in close proximity. Or on the way off the pitch. Doesn't have to be the player that's marking him.

Fuck you November.

Hazard everything but finishing today: 10/10 Hazard finishing today: Torres/10

Now you miss. Now.

FINALLY Ref tried his best but that one was unavoidable.

Another wrong decision. This ref & his team is reaching Cuntenburg levels.

Now a linesmen mistake. I am so angry right now.

Why does this damn GK choose today to channel his cousin. Fuck sake.

FFS. Hazard owes me a glass and a pint. Just smashed mine on the floor....

Matic becoming our European goal machine...

Lol, just as I say it. Matic bails us out big time.

Maribor been both fantastic and lucky today in equal measure. Still can't see us NOT scoring though.

That was a stonewall.... Ref being very generous to Maribor...

I guess we have to at least consider the idea that the diving, biting, scumbag cheat is a liar trying to destabilise the team....

No, i don't think Oscar is technically limited, and to suggest so is laughable. He's got a fantastic work rate. If you think being very good in most areas is technically limited then i'm not sure I know what to say.... God knows what you think Mikel or fucking Carlton Cole are then. So who do we sign as a replacement for Fab? Cos I think Oscar is more than adept at dropping into that role if we had a 3 man midfield. We wouldn't get a better player than Oscar without shelling out tons, and then who's to say that person would want to sit on the bench.

On a positive note (might be a bit foreign to some of you) thought Zouma and Luis were very good in the first half.

Costa and Oscar on for Willian and Schurrle. Bring out the big guns.
