(The Guardian) PreambleGood evening. It’s an odd thing to say about a team who are European champions and runaway leaders in England, but Liverpool kind of need to stop playing silly buggers. They have lost their last four group games away from home in Champions League, making qualification for the knockout stages – when they really come alive – tougher than it needs to be. They’ll almost certainly be fine, because they’re the best team in Europe right now, but they could do with a win tonight to keep everything in order. Genk have not win in 14 attempts in the Champions League proper, going back to 2002, although they have drawn six of their seven games at home – including a 0-0 against Napoli last month. You could make a helluva team out of those who have played for or come through the ranks at Genk (Courtois, De Bruyne, Bailey, Koulibaly, Milinkovic-Savic, Ndidi and Liverpool’s own Origi). Their current, very young side includes the prolific Tanzanian forward Mbwana Samatta and the classy Norwegian midfielder Sander Berge. They also signed Ianis Hagi - yep - from FC Viitorul Constanta in the summer. Genk were surprising but emphatic winners of last year’s title, their fourth championship since the club was founded in 1988. And while the title defence hasn’t started too well, with four defeats in the first 10 games, that doesn’t really matter tonight. They have the chance to beat the European champions, and become legends all over again.

(The Guardian) “Hi Web,” says Peter Oh. ““Racing Genk was founded in 1988? I wouldn’t really blame the travelling Liverpool supporters if they break into, ‘You ain’t got no history!’” ...surprisingly, they do have a little history; quoting the Wiki...

(The Guardian) 1 min Keita redefines the backpass, twisting his body to guide the ball off his shoulder blade into the path of Robertson. Good lad.

How good is Keita? He uses his back to pass the ball (on purpose)

....that was quick...
(The Guardian) GOAL! Genk 0-1 Liverpool (Oxlade-Chamberlain 2)That didn’t take long. A perfect start for Liverpool. Fabinho played a nice little pass to find Oxlade-Chamberlain in a bit of space, 25 yards from goal. He got the ball out of his feet and drove a low shot that beat the unsighted, flat-footed Coucke and rolled into the far corner. liverpool scarf-1
