Porto away

[Norbs]

More magic from Mo

We could put 5 or 6 past this lot at Anfield

Last time we trounced them away the Anfield result was a 1-1 draw wasn't it? Might stick a few quid on a draw again

[ChesterDave]

Knockout stages though, wasn't it? Dead rubber and going through the motions.

[BigChief]

Great to see Milner rested well before full time. Can't wait to see him start against City. Mane and Salah also rested.

Tempted to start Firmino against City too. He looks well up for it.

[Mark79]

Nah, it pretty much means that us and Madrid are going through unless we throw it away.

A 5 point cushion going away to Atletico would have been a perfect scenario.

Edit - Ok, a 4 point cushion.

Ah, didn't remember that part of it

[Fredo]

Nah, it pretty much means that us and Madrid are going through unless we throw it away.

We’ve played a third of the group games at this stage. It looks good but there’s a lot to play for. Two back to back games against Athletico will be tough.

[Buzzo]

Even if we draw twice and get 2 points out of the two games we’d be in decent shape. Three would be great. Any more and we are pretty much through.

If we lose both we are struggling no matter what the result tonight.

4?

[Mark79]

4?

Duh, yeah.

[Saveloy]

Maths on here has gone to ****.

I might need to have a chat with Buzzo about the Salah thread too.

[Harv]

Great result. Our mids and defenders completely dominated them. Im not getting too carried away with that result though, Porto were seriously bad.

Whats worrying though is how awful Mane is playing. He's looking worse and worse each game, his touch has completely deserted him and it was never great to begin with. Needs a spell to reset himself or something.

Jota's not much better either. Both of them really snatching at chances. They need to relax a bit.

[Fredo]

Jota had a good game. Finishing not great but his work rate and all round play were good last night, one of the best I’ve seen him play. I usually criticise him for not being that good in that department and being primarily a poacher, but not last night.

As for Sadio, awful is probably harsh. Not his best, but did enough to play his part.

[Buzzo]

Yep, Jota played well. Look at his movement. As highlighted after the game the run he made to pull away defenders to create space for Salah’s second. These are the types of things players don’t get much credit for.

Mane isn’t at his best, but is still working hard, and still scoring goals. We are banging in 3 plus goals per game right now, that suggests the attack is functioning very well, that’s down to all of them.

[Slinky Skills]

Jota has been excellent, bar that one on his left foot he hit wide he's generally been unlucky as the keepers he's faced have pulled off worldies.

We really are playing very well at the moment, last night was the best performance of the season so far.

[Rigadon]

Great result and a fantastic reaction to the Brentford game.

Porto might not have been at their best but they are a good side. They held Atletico (away) in their last CL game. Beating a top side 5-1 away in the CL is ****ing brilliant.
