Liverpool v Porto Match Thread CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Bang on cue Keita slides in to a late tackle.

City given a VAR penalty, for me an example of VAR going wrong, it was handball, but very harsh to be given. This will intensify Citys VAR agenda.

VAR awarded another Manchester club a penalty...

 

[Mystic]

Lloris saves haha.

Aguero missed, so fuck them. And they're cunts, so fuck them again.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Naby get some luck for a change, he is playing with some confidence

 

[Mystic]

I've been optimistic for ages, but even I don't think we'll see the best of him until next season, he's still struggling a bit with the pace of the game here & the aggression, also his pace isn't quite good enough to make the same runs we saw in Germany, but I'm more than confident Klopp can use the talent he has & all the other attributes to adapt his game enough to make him a key part of the side, cos he has a lovely eye for a pass, can dribble well with it, likes driving forwards, his attacking positioning is very good, he's very good at tackling when he's stood up against someone (so that pace issue I mentioned doesn't come into play) & clearly can add goals from midfield with a decent shot.

Yep, you know I'm right there with you mate!

Salah hugging quite wide tonight.

 

[Mystic]

Spurs looking really dangerous attacking City, thats encouraging for the league game.

 

[FoxForceFive]

This Porto side cant live with us running at them at all. They just don't know what to do.

 

[Mystic]

Salah finally gets his corner. Third time lucky.

Salah hugging quite wide tonight.

He can have that FB on toast

 

[hmmmmm1]

Brilliant defending from salah, tracking back

 

[Mystic]

I adore how Salah tracks back on a break away. He's lazy when defending in standard play, but on a break away to the opposition, he's superb.

 

[Markeh]

I don't think I've seen anyone that turns as effortlessly as Salah

 

[FoxForceFive]

Lovely Salah, helluva player. Don't see many strikers getting back like that.

TAA isn't on his game tonight at all yet.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Good defending from vvd to bail out his other defenders

 

[Mystic]

Dare I say, a Spurs goal is coming, they are overrunning Fernandinho and looking very dangerous.

 

[rurikbird]

Fucking Lovren made about 3 defensive mistakes in one episode.

 

[FoxForceFive]

I adore how Salah tracks back on a break away. He's lazy when defending in standard play, but on a break away to the opposition, he's superb.

I think that's due to instruction, if he tracked back whenever the other side attacked he'd be too far back to counter a lot of the time or too tired to break when we do counter, plus that stretching of their lines we thrive on doesn't happen.

 

[Mystic]

Fabinho is like a seasoned sculptor with how he plays his chipped passes.

 

[Shay_K]

Have we got a couple of Salah"s on the park tonight?

 

[FoxForceFive]

Have we got a couple of Salah"s on the park tonight?

Yeah, one's that lad who was walking round with his bike the other day.

 

[got red on me]

Dare I say, a Spurs goal is coming, they are overrunning Fernandinho and looking very dangerous.

Seriously, mate, can you keep your Spurs/Citeh updates to the thread that YOU created re: that subject?

No.

 

[FoxForceFive]

HAHAHA, Salah with an easier chance than the one against Southampton yet misses!

 

[hmmmmm1]

Really poor miss from salah

 

[FoxForceFive]

I'd be pissed off if we weren't one nil up & in control of the match!

 

[Markeh]

Such an easy chance Mo

 

[Mystic]

Such a shame, he seemed to cut it across just a little too much with his first touch.
