Liverpool v Porto Match Thread

By shankly's gates...

Mascherano clipped a player with a follow-through, lucky not to get booked.

Rafa-Rafael.

Too many long balls to Torres at the moment.

Here's the problem, we come forward and it breaks to Torres who plays it to Voronin, both on the left-wing. Not a single striker in the box for Voronin to aim at, only Yossi and Babel.

Chelsea and Bremen 1 up.

Pepe's clearances all being aimed at Babel on the left.

Porto win a free-kick on their right. Sending the big guys forward.

Quaresma's free kick over everyone and out for a throw.

I'm ****ting myself here. This game is way too open for my liking. WE NEED A GOAL!!!

from the bbc comms

The Liverpool fans are continuing with their show of support for Benitez inside Anfield. One banner reads: "Rick Parry - a wolf in sheep's clothing".

I remain amazed that Crouchie isn't even an option - so far it looks like he might have fitted the bill...

[bigfooty]

Torres is spending far too much time competing for balls in the air. This time he's on the right, puts a cross in over everyone, deflected for a throw to us on the left.

Yossi and Finnan link up well on the right but Finnan's final ball is disappointing, goes for a corner.

Torres 1-0, towering header in the box. Unmarked and headed down past keeper.

Gerrard with a terrible pass and Carra has to smash into a challenge to rescue us. Unfortunately he gives away a free-kick in the process.
