Benfica 2-1 Liverpool: In game and Post Match thread

Benfica away and Lille at home are completely different prospects, don't expect either of our midfielders to get forward much.

Agree. As long as we don't isolate our forward players we should be alright. If we start going too deep and whacking long balls up, we'll be in trouble.

Gerrard and Torres need decent service if we're to score here. None of the useless punts up a la Lille away.

Bet you Lucas scores tonight.

Torres and Gerrard always play better against the big teams, they will be up for this one!

Why is there a bird in the stadium?

Bet you Lucas scores tonight.

Got my house on it.

Bet you Lucas scores tonight.

I'll bet you a sausage barm on Saturday that he doesn't.

People are going on about Di Maria against Insua. Well if he plays left then it's Di Maria against Johnson. Huge, huge test for whichever full back it is.

I'll bet you a sausage barm on Saturday that he doesn't.
