PSV Eindhoven against Liverpool

PSV fans are sneaking out in their droves

The match is back in cruise now. The kids are on. And it's play time.

Keane's had a much better second half. Still no goal, though

A final change of the night as Otman Bakkal is off and Stefan Nijland on

And there's a goal for Wednesday against QPR. Super Leon Clarke. In the meantime, Jamie Carragher is off for another kid, Martin Kelly who is apparently from Bolton

Email in from David Graham who clearly finds me hilarious. Can't be the same David Graham who played for Sheffield Wednesday. That most certainly was not hilarious

Manco on for Edison Mendez

Great pass from Keane, Lucas must score! And he puts it wide

Great through ball from Keane, it gave Ngog the chance to run into space and he slotted a shot under the body of Isaksson. Game over. Pass the mulled wine

GOAL!!!

Ngog shows some real pace, he bursts into the area...

Another youngster on for Liverpool. Riera is replaced by some dude called Jay Spearing

PSV have to take a risk. As it stands, they score and they are in the UEFA Cup.

Corner comes in from the left. It drops to Marcellis (Wallace) at the back post, a poor first touch then a fierce shot hits the outisde of the post and behind for a goal kick

PSV have offered very little this half. You have to fancy Liverpool to win this one now.

Thanks for your words of support. The cheque's in the post.

Change for PSV as top scorer, but slightly injured, Danny Koevermans on for Nordin Amrabat

Poor control by Keane, leading him to handle the ball. Free kick.

Chelsea in front again. Drogba

Woeful shot from Ngog, trickling 10 yards wide of the goal

Stephen Darby, captain of Liverpool's FA Youth Cup winning side a couple of years ago, is on for Arbeloa

Riera thwacks one into the top corner from a little over 20 yards out. Brilliant strike and Liverpool are heading for top spot

GOAL!!!

Not getting a lot of love on the email tonight. Seems some people are having a humour bypass. Praise to Tim Wise for this Egg Nogg joke though

Babel again gets space on the right. Again Keane is in space. Again Babel fails to get the better of the defender

Lazovic shoots just inside the area, straight at Diego though

The game has got interesting all of a sudden. How very odd.

Corner to PSV, taken by Lazovic and palmed away by Diego

Arbeloa almost scores an own goal! He looked to head it behind but put it just an inch or two wide.

Babel dithers slightly meaning he is tackled before releasing Keane

Offside against Lazovic. He was looking across the line and should have been through - and in on goal

Keane is almost in again. Liverpool improving now

Another half chance for Keane which he doesn't quite get hold of.

Keane is blocked off, bit of a soft free-kick. And PSV are very unhelpful not having clear numbers on their shorts

Good fast break here. Keane feeds Babel on the right, he cuts into the area but tries the ambitious drive through a defender's legs. Always wide.

A shot! Bakkal leathers one from 20 yards out and it's straight at Diego who needs two grasps

Alonso, Gerrard and Benayoun warm up. Maybe they can warm the game up

Peter Crommett would rather watch Panathinaikos vs Anorthosis. So would I. At lesat it means something!

Cluj level at Stamford Bridge!

Ngog blazes over from 25 yards. Woeful. Do you pronounce it Ngo? And if the g is silent does that make it No? No?

Jay Nielsen says: "The game is only as exciting as your lame ass half-hearted attempts at humor. Comment on the match and stop the bitching." Jay, there's hardly anything to commentate on. Would you perfer white space?

Poor challenge from Dossena on Mendes, brought him down from behind and a definte card

...he mishits the shot and Salcido is able to play it behind ahead of Ngog. The ref things Ngog got the touch and gives a goal kick

Keane is in the clear and must score...

Babel's cross almost finds Keane, a vital clearance comes in from Simons

Ngog fails to find Riera on the run, good intercepton from Marcellis again

Keane finds Ngog but he just fails to skip inside Marcellis

How exciting is this game? Email newsdesk@soccernet.com

We're off again. I hope you're all on tenterhooks.

One of the dullest games ever seen somehow has two goals in it. Hopes are not high for the second 45.

And that's half-time

Babel was unmarked and just flicked the ball on and into the corner of the net. Woeful defending, no chance Isaksson. Liverpool scored 30 seconds OVER the added time allowed. Who says they're lucky?

GOAL!!!

Free-kick to Liverpool on the right. Lucas floats it in from the right in the deep and Babel is unmarked...

One minute to be added. One minute too many.

Cross from Dossena on the left, finds Ngog unmarked on the penalty spot put he plants a tame header into the gloves of Isaksson. Straight at him

Howls for handball against Carragher just outside the box - ref says no

Now Lucas fells Lazovic - no card this time

Ngog, that household name, is felled bar Marcellis. Not Marcellis Wallace. That's someone else.

Robbie Keane on the ball. He is actually playing, you know.

Agger and Simons are called over. This is all very strange. Ah, now Arbeloa is called over. It's a yellow of Arbeloa and Simons. Arbeloa's not too taken with that

Lazovic goes down stricken, the challenge coming in from Arbeloa. Was there a little kick out?

Salomon Kalou has scored for Chelsea. They lead 1-0 and seem on their way through

Liverpool now have to come out an show some adventure if they are to top the group. Seems little sign of that at the moment

PSV have been just the better side. But it really is the better of two evils here in Holland

We have a goal. I had my house on 0-0. Liverpool felt it should not have been a corner in the first place but that's academic now

Mascherano chose not to head away the corner, ducked, it hit a PSV player and the loose ball broke to the unmarked Lazovic who hammered a shot under Diego

GOAL!!!

Corner to PSV on the right. It comes in from Dzsudzsák and hits a striker in the face... it drops for Lazovic....

Good overlapping run by Culina on the right but his cutback hits the first defender

The new chicknen Fiesta is really nice at McDonalds. Try it with a vanilla milkshake.

Lucas looks find Riera in the box. Another poor ball and it goes out for a goal kick

Keane is stripped by Simons, lucky not to get booked

Only another HOUR to go

Agger seems to catch Bakkal with an arm, nothing to it though

Sporting have scored in Basle. The only goal tonight.

Bréchet has just launched a long ball from his own half straight to Diego in goal. Amazingly bad

I went to the same school as Stoke City's Richard Cresswell, you know. I hope you're impressed.

This can't get any worse. I could go and make a brew and miss NOTHING

Babel's pass to the overlapping Arbeloa is poor and a defender gets in first

Mascherano has to go off - he's got a cut lip and will need that sorted out.

PSV look a little dangerous but lack belief. Agger does well to clear when it looked like the home side may get in. Poor pass from Babel but Amrabat couldn't find a team-mate with a cutback on the left

I forgot to change my fantasy team tonight. Rubbish!

No goals in the Champions League yet to night. Oh, the excitement...

Poor shot from Amrabat - effectively a pass-back to Diego

Arbeloa curls in a cross, Marcellis heads away

PSV look more hungry for this game, though you can still tell Liverpool are more technically capable.

No shirt spoondoe for Liverpool today. Dirty beer sponsorship must be banned. UEFA are still allowed their Heineken boards around the pitch though...

Babel trudges across in no hurry at all. It's taken short and Liverpool don't really look what they know they're doing and PSV clear

Corner to Liverpool. Are we going to see a shot form the visitors?

Simons tries a blast, Diego is unconvincing and pats it away to his left

Still little happening. Chelsea coming close against Cluj, mind.

Agger is later on Lazovic. Free-kick, taken short

Keane flops to the ground in the area under a challenge from Edison Mendez. Never a pen. Good play from Babel in the build up

Another soft free kick, Dzsudzsák with a hand on the back of Riera

Well, it's already dull. Duller.

If Marseille score against Atletico this could become very dull. Liverpool will be top of the table and PSV out.

Riera goes in too strongly with Culina. Free-kick again to PSV but deep in their own half.

Riera breaks but there's little movement in front of him. The tap through for Ngog only finds former Man City bencher Isaksson

Foul by Arbeloa or Mascherano on Amrabat. The resulting free-kick is played straight into gloves of Diego

PSV have to win and hope Marseille don't win to make the UEFA Cup. PSV, though, have been woeful in Europe this term.

It's an enthralling start here!

We're off! Liverpool with the ball

PSV include defender Carlos Salcido, despite his recent verbal attack on coach Huub Stevens, for a game the Dutch side have to win to qualify for the UEFA Cup ahead of Marseille.

Liverpool leave Steven Gerrard, Xabi Alonso and Jose Reina on the bench. Rafael Benitez recalls Robbie Keane to play up front alongside David Ngog, with Ryan Babel included on the wing and Lucas starting in midfield. Diego Cavalieri gets a rare start in goal, with Jamie Carragher captaining the side.

Oh yes, a rubbish PSV Eindhoven side against a lucky Liverpool team. How can we wait?
