Liverpool v Porto Match Thread

[mick the click]

true sports stream died just before the Porto goal. The other sopcast streams are fine.

I can't get them to work either...*******s!

Booking to Assuncao for a foul on Yossi.

Gerrard over the ball, 40 yards out. Finds Arbeloa in space, his cross is headed out.

Babel on the right, cross deflects off first man for a corner.

Gerrard to take, headed out.

Voronin's cross deflected, keeper keeps it in but Kop was shouting for a corner.

Torres wanders offside when he might have held his run better.

[bigfooty]

Babel in space, goes outside but yet anothe terrible cross is easily cut out.

Babel is not a fkin winger.

IS it just me, or is the atmosphere very subdued tonight?.
I am not hearing Rafa's name sang nearly loud enough tonight either. Don't think I have heard them sing the La Bamba Version of Rafa Benitez either.

Gerrard over a free-kick, 35 yards out on the left.

Whipped in, well defended, Porto have largely done a good job on our corners and free-kicks apart from Torres' goal.

Babel fouled on the right.

Cheers for the commentary bigfooty it’s greaty appreciated.

Can’t believe I can’t even find just the commentary on the web anywhere (note to self - get a fcuking radio!)

Gerrard takes a free-kick quickly, too quickly, Porto almost break onto the defence.

Yossi outnumbered on the left, Porto get a throw. We get the ball back on a throw.

All long balls at the moment, we're not winning much in the air.

Porto neat play on edge of our box, Pepe grabs it and delvers the ball to Torres.

Great play by Torres to hold it up, lays it into Yossi who sclaffs it wide first time. Wasted a great chance there.

[Slim]

Babel not playing great.

[bigfooty]

56 minutes gone 1-1.

Pepe completely duffs a goal-kick out of play on the half-way line.

Babel on the right, goes way infield, trys to play a 1-2 with Yossi but nothing doing as Porto break it up.

Andy Gray talking about our lack of width.

[bigfooty]

Voronin looking tired, hits a first time ball over the top for Torres who hooks it back but nobody anywhere near him.

[bigfooty]

Babel with a nice ball to Voronin but he dummys it straight to a Porto player.

Groans from around the stadium.

[bazza76]

Right, I would make a double substitution, Kewell and crouch on for babel and voronin.

[bigfooty]

Mascher dives into a challenge, wins the ball fairly but both players collide. Drop ball sees us give it back to Porto.

[bigfooty]

Kewell coming on soon.

Babel finds finnan on outside, his cross beats the keeper but Porto defend well.

Babel with a first-time effort, out for a corner.

Babel to take the corner, deep, over Torres, Gerrard keeps it in.

Gerrard wins another corner.
