Benfica v Liverpool Match Thread

[Pablo]

How is Luisao still on the pitch? Total JOKE!

I'm slowly loosing my patient on Insua. and who's gonna play there in next match ?
have to give a credit to Kuyt...

that wasn't a red, never in million years! Why the f*ck are there like 6 refs ?!?!?!

[Kenneth]

Half time.

Not sure what we do about this, Insua's walking a yellow tightrope and looks vulnerable every time. But what option do we have?

Kyrgiakos on and Carra to LB, i'd suggest.

I guess, or mascher rb and carra or agger lb.

What an absolute JOKE decision!

The ref is quite simply a cunt.

Corner came at torres with pace and he tried the half volley but was difficult to control - half a chnace.

i tot he didnt react fast enough. i feel that his one touch scoring needs alot of improving. basically agger is the only threat in the box. end of story.

ref is a benfica supporter?

They are ****ing dirty *******s. That Luisao challenge was a borderline red itself. How can he be the aggressor, Babel goes over to have a word (quite right, I like to see the boys sticking up for each other and that was a shocking challenge), stupidly "raises his hand" but barely touches the fella in a non-aggressive action, Luisao aggressively swipes away Babel's hand, yet Babel gets red and that bald thug cunt stays on? **** off.

Giving away too many chances but I would've ****ing taken this. Let's defend for 45 minutes and try and nick something. Result having an away goal in the bag.

Stan Collymore = dickhead.

Apparently our goal is why zonal marking 'doesnt work' - erm, how about if it's utilised properly, it does work?

How about when goals are scored against teams with man to man marking? Does that not work too then? Dick.

[gentingfrmhell]

lets push johnson up for a counter to kill them off. kuyt to stay back n defend! gogogo!

[Craig_H]

I dont know why people are complaining about the red card - it's the rules. Everyone knows them.

Calling the ref a cunt for doing his job, is daft. If a player's through on goal and gets marginally bundled over by the last defender, that's not violent or viscious either, but it's a red. Not the ref's fault. Babel was stupid.

It was just really poor defending by Benfica, that's all. Nothing to do with zonal marking.

Ref is cunts , doesn't have a ****ing clue. Let's hope torres doesn't get booked otherwise he misses next game.
Oh, and that Di Maria is ****ing awesome.

[darkstar]

I thought Luisao should have at least got a second yellow for swiping Babel's hand, if not a straight red for the challenge on Torres
