Liverpool v Besiktas Match Thread

[bonzai]

3-0 my prediction..

[bigfooty]

We are attacking anny road first half. Besiktas get us underway.

Crouch wins an early header, Voronin gives it away.

[slimbimjim]

Come on you Reds!

[bigfooty]

Crouch wins another header, Riise runs into traffic and we get a throw on left.

Besiktats break, Sami has to challenge Bobo and wins a goal-kick.

[bigfooty]

Besiktas' pace already causing problems on the break, sliding effort on the counter goes into side-netting.

[bigfooty]

Cross in, Crouch heads it down to the crow but he drags the shot woefully wide.

Positive signs though.

[Red Chilli]

Lack of composure from the crow

[bigfooty]

Besiktas pressing well, force a mistake from Arbeloa, no danger though.

[Kilteragh]

Am I right in thinking that we want Marseille to get a result tonight?

It was quite an unexpected header from Crouch. I think he did well to get it at all!

[slimbimjim]

Am I right in thinking that we want Marseille to get a result tonight?

Yeah because that would take us within a point of Porto

[bonzai]

Am I right in thinking that we want Marseille to get a result tonight?

yep, you're right.

[bigfooty]

Gerrard struggling to find his passing game at the moment.

Crouch manhandled for a free kick about 30 yards out.

[bigfooty]

Riise cross headed wide by Crouch. Might have done better.

[slimbimjim]

Good cross from Riise but headed wide under pressure from Crouch.
