Yes, Liverpool underrated them because they won 5-1 at the Anfield stadium. That is why they decided to rest their key players and give the young players a chance to have an appearance in the Europa League, which has turned out to be a disgrace for them because they couldn't control the match any more because Toulouse was just looking for any opportunity to grow their points so that they could have hope of moving on to the next round of the competition, in which they are lucky to win Liverpool at home.

I can't believe people saying that Liverpool rest their star players because of their Premier League match because they are playing against a team that is not as strong for them to rest players for. Nevertheless, what has happened has happened. Liverpool's winning streak in the Europa League came to an end today, but they still stand a chance of winning the trophy if they stop misusing their opportunities.

Crap result but looking at the starting lineup it isn’t a surprise. Klopp isn’t taking this competition seriously but the players out there were awful today. Toulouse showed much more desire and deserved to win.

However, the referee and VAR made a terrible decision to disallow a 97th minute equaliser for a handball on the halfway line about 5 phases before the goal was scored. I think that goes against UEFA VAR rules.

Liverpool's main problem in this game was with their defense line, the defense was too weak to hold the attackers especially the No.9 Thijs Dallinga who scored the second goal for Toulouse from penetrating the eighteen-yard box and the home base team Toulouse was running through Liverpool's men with such an ease which mounted so much pressure  on Liverpool back men and the goals become much before Liverpool got their consolation goal.

I know they would surprise so many people in this encounter, while they're just preparing for league game I had that feeling that Liverpool won't mind losing this game that's why they rested some players, starting from the goalkeeper, the midfield and some players in the attacking department.
I just hope they can make up for their loss whenever they play in the EPL with a win to put a smile on the faces of their fans. To me Klopp should have just gotten a point or better still win the game, and rest some players in their next Europa fixture.

Liverpool expected an easy game, rested major players, but had a difficult game. I have to applaud them though because to me, they are the best come back team this season, and had VAR not saved Toulouse in the final minutes, this would have been another great comeback headline for them like they did in the weekend against Luton in the premier league. The game was 2-0, then 2-1, then 3-1, then 3-2, then  3-3 and ended 3-2 finally. Toulouse did well to find their way through the Liverpool defense to score as they did many times counting the goals that they scored that was cancelled. If they had not scored many goals and maybe just settled with the first goal they scored and tried to defend it, Liverpool would have won this game.

I don't know what happened with Liverpool today, but they looked so weak compared to Toulouse. However, it seems that Liverpool underestimated Toulouse who played in front of their fans at home and that made Liverpool suffer the embarrassment of losing 3-2. I almost couldn't believe the referee canceled Liverpool's third goal, but it happened and Toulouse legally won their home game today.

In Europe (Champions League and Europa League), I have seen some referees rob some teams of wins and goal opportunities which then has made these teams suffer losses. Some decisions can be considered controversial although on some occasions VAR can help the referee support his decision.

And this game is the biggest surprise of the evening for me, because I never believe Liverpool will lose so blatantly to the french side because with the look of things, the score is now three  goals to one in favor of the french team. I really thought Liverpool will win this game and also conceive that the weekend draw they had in the premier league will be rectify with a victory tonight but football is just unpredictable and the score has turned opposite of my prediction as Liverpool are currently losing by a whooping two goals deficit.

I had anticipated this trap before as I posted above, Liverpool will not play aggressively because they are still in the safe zone with 9 points even if they lose or draw in this match, they can still get points in the next match when playing at home which means Liverpool are certain to go to the next stage that's why I said don't expect too much from Liverpool, this indication can be seen from the first half when the 2 mainstay players were not played and now Liverpool are 2 goals behind lol. I'm sure Liverpool will not try to catch up because it would risk the player's stamina or injury.

I also predict the same thing for Roma and it's true they were 1 goal behind but there is still the possibility of a draw. In another match, Villarreal was also 1 goal behind even though they still need points to be in the safe zone, so far they keep trying to attack hope to get at least 1 point but Maccabi Haifa implemented a double defense so Villarreal had difficulty equalizing the score, let's see what they can do in the remaining 15 minutes lose or draw, of course it's sad to see Villarreal at the bottom of the standings/group.

Wow, instead of scoring a goal in return, Liverpool fell behind again due to an additional goal from Toulouse. The score is now 2-0 in Toulouse's favour, but however they don't seem to be giving much importance to this match from the way they rotate their players.

Dominik Szoboszlai, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold have played, so now Liverpool seems to be starting to have the desire to prevent defeat. Of course, there is still the possibility of getting 2 goals back in the remaining time of the second half, but Toulouse seems more likely to win after winning 2-0.

Liverpool is under performing in this match nd it's really disturbing, Salah isn't in the match and some other players, I don't know why klop decided to play with their set of players, they appear sluggish and are not looking like they will be able to get three point from this game.

They are currently down by two goals already and they are few minutes into the second half of the game I don't know if it will be possible Liverpool pulls up a come back and win tonight although it's looking like they still have some more time but Toulouse is strengthen their defense line to make sure they don't concede any goal or draw to Liverpool, I hope klop make the necessary changes and bring in player that will be able to help change the game and get a draw at least.

What is happening with Liverpool and currently they are two goals behind hosts Toulouse. I didn't expect Liverpool's goal to be broken into that easily and indeed this time Liverpool was without their main goalkeeper, Allison. I think it will be increasingly difficult for them to equalize if they don't develop their game immediately and I hope the introduction of Mohammed Salah, Szoboszlai and Alexander Arnold in the second half can help produce good results. Even though Liverpool only need one more win to maintain their chances of qualifying early, this time it looks like it will be quite a difficult step for them to overcome. Let's see if Liverpool can stage a comeback in the remaining minutes this would be a dramatic win for them.

Klopp has brought in some main players like Salah and Arnold, players who we expected him to rest, that shows that he intends to win this game. Liverpool are two goals behind, but Liverpool have shown many times this season in all the competition they play in that they can come back from behind to win a game. Toulouse are not yet safe even though they have now score two goals, they need more goals to win this Liverpool side. convincingly

I believe that Liverpool will turn the around and win the match. If you look at the way they are playing and dominating the game. It is just that they haven't had that lucky opportunity to net the post as all their shots are not good enough to be a goal.

 I believe that they will play better in the second half after they must have relaxed and have made changes. I don't know why Liverpool is finding it difficult to score their first goal in this match. Klopp knows what to do next because I don't expect Liverpool to accept defeat so easily, as I a, expecting a welcome back in the second half.

In their first match or in their previous meeting, Liverpool actually won with a big score because in their first match, Liverpool won with a score of 5-1. Moreover, at this moment, at least Toulouse is not having a good performance in Ligue 1 because at this moment Toulouse is also in the bottom zone of the Ligue 1 standings. So ya, with considerations like that, at least I also sure that Liverpool will still be able to beat Toulouse in this match. But by the way, Toulouse is currently winning at half time and as such, Liverpool still have to make a bigger effort in the second half to be able to turn things around in this match and to ensure they qualify for the next round.

I can't really say Liverpool dominated the match so far mate. They had most ball possession of course but this isn't exactly a domination indicator. Because on one hand their goal attempts weren't effective. Their xG was even way below Toulouse. But I understand why they played the first half like this of course.

It is because of the rotation Klopp decided to do. There are some unfamiliar faces in the starting eleven. There are so many usual starting eleven players waiting among the substitutes now.

Liverpool are already very comfortable in the group even if they lose. Therefore Klopp might want to rest the main players as much as possible.

Liverpool dominated the match, but currently they are 1-0 behind Toulouse. Liverpool had more chances than Toulouse, but unfortunately Liverpool still couldn't score even though they had more than 7 shots. So one of your predictions is wrong, but Liverpool is still very likely to turn things around even though they are 1-0 behind the home team.

Meanwhile in other matches, Roma have not shown anything good against Slavia Prague. Roma did not create any chances that could harm Slavia Prague, but on the contrary Slavia Prague really tried to win the match with the several opportunities they created. The temporary score was still 0-0 at the end of the first half, but I think Roma will still maintain their winning trend in this match.

But it is not going according to Klopp's plan so far as Toulouse managed to score a goal despite the overwhelming ball possession that Liverpool has. But yes, one shot on target and one goal is what these games are like when the underdog has his lucky day.

Still not over yet, but I also think that Klopp is pretty calm about the result of this game because even when they lose, the qualification for the knock-out stages won't be at risk. Their advantage is took big in the group and they also have another game at home.

Liverpool has won every game they have played in the Europa League, so I think they can win this season because of their performance, which will tell you that they are capable of winning the title league. I also think Liverpool will win today's match against Toulouse. Even though games can change, I don't think Liverpool will make a mistake in this one. They are aware that they won't be able to win the Premier League this year, so they are putting a lot of effort into doing well in the Europa League in order to win at least one trophy.

Although there are many teams in this league that are both very strong and capable of competing against Liverpool, such as Brighton and Leverkusen, Liverpool is actually stronger than these teams. As a result, we don't need to argue or make predictions about who will win the title this season because we still have the group stage to go. However, I will bet on Liverpool to win today's matchup against Toulouse.

I really thought when you draw a match, it's not consider as lost but as a win because when you drew a match, both teams get 1 point each and by that, participating teams will have ways shift in the standing. Winning by 1 point is enough to win a league. For Liverpool, it was home match for Luton Town and for certain, they will defend their home vehemently, instead of them to double their attack, they had their moment and scored a goal with lead only to opened chance for them in the extra minutes for Luis Diaz that equalized for Luton but they earn my respects regardless because they are holding third place firmly in the table.

Sumilaly, they are doing well in the Europa league as well, of 4 matches that have been played, only 1 was drew and the other teams are not closer to them in any position. Last season didn't favour Klopp but maybe this season will quite end well, winning the Europa is going to be a banger for them to revive the strength of the club and faith of the fans towards the club winning mentality.


Toulouse aren't joking though, they have scored Liverpool already leading with a goal of 1 to nill but I have believe in Liverpool, the worst that can happen in this match is either Liverpool to win by 2-1 or they draw because Toulouse isn't that strong in my opinion but having home as an advantage might be the reason why they are cause Liverpool a concde, but that will change soon.

This is one of the reasons why I don't have high hopes for Liverpool in today's match they have perfect points and are certain to qualify for the next stage, based on the lineup I also see several important players being benched like Mo Salah and Nunez. This is a normal strategy for a team that is confident of qualifying and I wouldn't be surprised if the two teams drew or maybe Liverpool was lucky to win by 1 goal, I still recommend avoiding betting on 1x2 in this match because the risk is high.

I am more interested in highlighting the match between Ajax vs Brighton, both teams still have a chance to qualify and the competition in the group is very tight so every remaining match is important, I predict there will be a lot of goals in this match at least 3 goals. By the way, Roma has also collected 9 points so it's likely that they will play freely without any burden like Liverpool, we should be careful if we want to bet on Roma even though they play with the main squad but we don't know what their strategy .
