Liverpool make their return to European action on Thursday evening, knowing that a win over visiting Bordeaux would seal their place in the last 32 of the competition with a game to spare.

Braga tightened their grip on pole position by defeating Slovan Liberec 2-1, with the Czech side dropping down to third as a result of Marseille’s 2-1 win at home to Groningen – Michy Batshuayi with a late victor.

“It’s completely different for us after we had so many changes in the team, with the new manager and everything”.

Borussia Dortmund are already through but the Germans will finish top of Group C with a draw away at second-placed FK Krasnodar.

But moments later Kane made the breakthrough, after Son flicked on Eriksen’s corner, the England striker getting the final touch to nod the ball over the line and ensure Tottenham’s European adventure continued into 2016. “He can train seven or eight times in a row which is the longest period since I’ve been here”. He’s had another three or four important sessions since last Saturday – each session is very important. “It’s very good that he’s close though, but the most important thing in these weeks is that he can train without problems”.

“I don’t know too much about the situation because it was in the afternoon after training – not what I saw as we trained in two groups and I was with the starting line-up”, he said.

Threatening balls into the area from Jordon Ibe and Milner came to nothing before Willy Sagnol’s side went in front after an unusual turn of events.

Yes, he gives charming interviews with young Liverpool fans but I fully expect to see him go absolutely ape-s**t very soon. “He played sometimes in a German style, whatever that is”.

“We buy talent, players who can be Champions League players”, said the Norwegian. He was a world class full back. Towards the end there was a bit of pressure from them but we defended that well.
