Match thread Porto vs Liverpool

[Joe King]

Free kick, no Alonso, hopefully some quality

[bigfooty]

Porto break, cross from right but goes over the top of the goal.

We've been quite lucky to reach half-time at 1-1. Kuyt goal apart I don't think their keeper has had the ball come near him.

Foul on Torres wins a free kick, central, about 35 yards out.

Porto are a tough side to play against especially at home, lets not forget

[Joe King]

Babel checked his run, shame

[bigfooty]

Free kick finds its way to Babel who drives it low but into bodies.

Wasted throw on left, Kuyt tried to guide the ball to Finnan but instead went out.

[Imy]

no fluidity in that freekick, hesitation and lack of communication.

[Joe King]

High boot, no free kick, surprised at that

[Red_Al_77]

HT 1-1 We have been poor.

[bigfooty]

Injury time in the first half.

Another awful throw-in, straight to a Porto player.

Half-Time.

[redwien]

Babel is muck

[Joe King]

Babel hesitates too much, he needs to think clearly

[Imy]

HT Analysis, can do better.

[Red Chilli]

Babel is muck

Give the lad a chance

As for changes, well as has been said, Pennant needs to come off. Don't know who I'd bring on though

HT thoughts, we haven't shown the quality we have done so far this season. Hopefully the second half will be more open- could suit our attack and especially Gerrard. Right now, Porto to narrow, stopping him to play
