Match thread Porto vs Liverpool

Disgusted with our first half performance. Our passing the game has gone awol.
On the positive side of things - nice goal from Kuyt, good knockdown from Sami and excellent anticapation from Dirk, well in lad.
Expect better from the likes of Gerrard, Masher and Babel 2nd half, not Pennant though as he's walking a tightrope, hard for him to get pumped up when he knows he's one foul away from an early bath. Could see Aurelio or Yossi replacing him early on in the 2nd half tbh.
Come on Reds, sort it out!!!

Shocking, isn't it? We've took more fans to Porto tonight.

A CL match and they can't even get close to selling their ground out.

[Red Star]

Not at our best so far. Torres hasn't had a look in. Can we string a few passes together in the 2nd half please lads?

Where are chavs anyway?

No English team has won there before so 1-1 ain't bad. Would like us to step up a gear though and win it or at least string a couple of passes together.

That would certainly help. We should also be pressing them higher up the pitch like they're doing to us.

Imagine the bollocking that Maureen is handing out now!

[Marky]

poor first half, in terms of quality, Quaresma looks the best of a mediocre bunch so far. A draw would be a decent result to be honest but I feel that if we can get another couple of good set plays we could still win this comfortably.

Agree with you bout Quaresma, he's a handy, very skillful and strong with it.
With the way we're playing i'd take a draw now deffo.

Porto have impressed me. We're still in this game, Rafa will sort it out, I expect pennant to be taken off. Whose the irish nob commentating on ESPN?

Sami's lack of pace was hrrendously exposed for the penalty. Agger would have cleared that me thinks.

That was the first thing I thought when it happened, I am sure the Porto players would have been well aware of Sammi's lack of pace too.

porto use the wings well, they have won all 4 games in there ****ty league so far as well i think.

Marky in over the top reaction shocker.
He's normally so calm and collected as proven by the pub incident.

Well, Chinese people don't want to fly all over to London for a little sunday league game with Rosenborg ...
