Some Stats from opta,

4 – Four of the last five teams to lose 1-0 away in UEFA Cup/EL semi-final have progressed, the exception being Liverpool in 2010. Problem.

3 – Liverpool have progressed from 3 of their previous 5 semi-finals in European competition after losing the first leg away from home. Hope

1 – Jurgen Klopp has lost his first European tie in charge of Liverpool (W5 D5). Setback.

Some fans had faith for the next leg, even if they were skeptical of their managers choices.

I’m putting a marker down now: Villareal are going to shrivel like freezing testies in the face of an Anfield onslaught #lfc

Klopp got it wrong, opting 4 a draw. Strange game esp. when we hv on form Sturridge on d bench. Still believe @LFC w.b in d Final. #VILvLIV

If Firmino, Coutinho and Sturridge start in the 2nd leg can’t see them keeping a clean sheet. Villareal have also picked up injuries. #LFC
