Brighton's troubles continue as Marseille scores twice in quick succession. First CB Mbemba finishes almost like a poacher after some nice passing, then Rongier scores after a decisive run into box.

Dunk certainly hasn't played like an England international level defender.

Man what a collapse..... Just a brutal start to this one.

 

[Evilo]

Hopefully the 12th L1 team manages to hold on and beat the 6th ranked of the Farmers league.

Jinx is hard

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Rough life for Brighton in Europe so far.

 

[robertmac43]

Marseille away was always a tough away day. I went into this wanting a point. Brutal start but we battled back and I'm happy with the point.

 

[hockey20000]

leverkusen timeeeee this team is fun to watch

 

[Savant]

USG is very tall

Speaking of tall people - Ryan Gravenberch makes it 1-0 with his first goal for LFC. He’s been their best player today

 

[Live in the Now]

Bad goalkeeping and Gravenberch scores the easiest goal of his life.

Gravenberch having a great half. He should pick up most of those vacant Jones minutes in the league

Jinx is hard

And complete !!!

Business as usual here. Brighton player gets away with it and gets the penalty call later.

Brighton getting big team calls… those bastards

 

[Live in the Now]

Alisson with rare mistake but Quansah boots it away.

 

[Evilo]

Brighton getting big team calls… those bastards

As EPL team, yes.

 

[Evilo]

Villareal was the better team in the first half and rightfully lead 1-0 at HT.
Rennes the better team in the second half but just got a bogus penalty. Hopefully VAR calls it off because that's not a pen.

 

[sabremike]

Them getting gobbed by a club from Cyprus certainly helped cheer me up.

 

[Evilo]

VAR got the right call and Rennes doesn't get that ridiculous penalty.
They have to score though, they deserve it.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Honestly that could be called

 

[Savi]

Union SG handled themselves well at Anfield, had some chances even with Amoura deserving a goal because he played very well. A player to keep an eye on and again a great find from Union.

 

[Evilo]

Rennes finally get the chance to get a deserved draw with a penalty in the OT (this one was a real penalty).
Terrier wanted to shoot it after a 6 months break. With zero surprise, he missed it.

 

[Savi]

Does having been out for a while affect your ability to shoot a pen?

 

[Chimaera]

Clearly the club knew Quansah was good enough.

Gravenberch is good. Needs a position but good.

I do think it affects your composure yes.
