As you might have guessed, Phil Thompson had a rather understated reaction to Steven Gerrard’s superb free kick equaliser… not!

The Sky Sports News pundit went absolutely apeshit during Liverpool’s Champions League exit at the hands of FC Basel. Thomo just could not seem to stay in his seat during the thrilling final quarter of the game, when both sides had great chances to take the lead. He looked as if he was always on the cusp of going into a fit of convulsions.

Watch the man himself howling and roaring in response to the Reds’ coming so close to salvaging the match below. Note the way he sounded like he was giving birth to a calf when Gerrard’s set piece went crashing into the net.
