    When we’ve won big European games in the past, we have been hanging on for large parts of the game. Last night, second half we totally outplayed Leipzig though. If we had scored another couple, there could be no complaints. It was an incredible performance.

    Yeah, that's the difference isn't it. That performance can be repeated and the system and players we have have shown it can win at this level. It doesn't feel like when we beat Barca which while brilliant relied on a huge amount of good fortune and clinging on. Last night we actually broke RB and by the end it was them holding on. It was great to see.

    Aye felt totally different last night. We have went up against a top team, played our own game and imposed our style, and looked the better team doing it. It was just so * good. I remember being at the games against Milan, Barca, Man Utd etc etc, and I was a nervous wreck for most of it. Last night however, just wasn’t like that.

    That last 20 minutes was genuinely like a run of the mill league game. They barely even touched the ball after we got our third and resorted to just completely chucking the towel in.

    Last night we basically did to them what so many teams at this level have regularly done to us in seasons gone by.

    Thinking about this last night. As long as we keep backing him as we should I really can't see why he would have any reason to leave.

    He's never getting a Man City type job again so keep backing him and he's here for the long run.

    Pretty bonkers after years of targeting last 16 we are now in with a realistic chance of qualifying in the top 8 of the new format.

    Last 2 games in CL have shown a maturity in Rodgers tactics that I would never have expected. Leopards do change their spots it appears.

    They did go down to 10 men in fairness. Boy went off with a head injury and they had used all their subs.

    So did aye. I backed him repeatedly on here when folk wanted him gone last season. Folk were even backing Clement to have the mental toughness to win the league over Brendan........these folk need to hang their heads in shame!

    Didn't know that :56:. Did he go off during the stadium huddle as that's my only possible excuse for not noticing that?

    Plenty on here backed him or at least didn't advocate his sacking.. but hang their heads in shame? :56: nah not for me..

    We were an unacceptable watch at times last season, even when we take everything into consideration.. we almost let one of the worst hun teams ever win the league.. so a lot of the criticism was valid.. even though most of us kept faith we'd get it over the line..

    Incredible how we've kicked on now tho, we're a totally different animal.

    Not totally sure if it was at that point. Must have been close to it so maybe. I just looked over and saw him go off. Then counted the players up a few minutes later to confirm it :56:

    That’s a good point actually. I’m certain it was a head injury he went off with. They definitely didn’t bring anyone on though.

    Just checked. They are not permitted in UEFA competitions.
