      Just watching messi  taking united apart on his own. Absolutely brilliant to watch.

      United have started to run out of steam since their coaching change.

      United wee poor. Barca were fantastic just like the gudiola era. Messi was something else every one of them. Couts with a worldy. Hope we can put on a performance tomorrow. Salah back on form. We'll done to ajax too

      I thought var were meant to show clear decisions to help the ref. How that wasn't a penalty on raktic in first half. Was caught clearly. Also great see ronaldo juve were knocked out. Ajax play sum wonderful football. They were saying Porto n ajax were the worst sides left. I'm glad now we got Porto ajax will be no ones pushover.

      Ajax were brilliant tonight de ligt and de Jong are exceptional. It's a pity like Monaco in CL semis a few years ago that the big clubs come and take there best players and there back at square.1. Barca are sum team but adding those two will make it very hard for any team next year. On to tomorrow match I think it will end 2-2 sending us through. I would so love to see city knocked out and there season start to crumble. The Arabs really want the CL.

      Still a bit worried about this one. Just hope we aren't as complacent as a lot of us supporters are.

      Can't wait till we tw*t Barca, though. 😊

      Don't worry, if Porto score an early goal it will be brick time for all of us.

      But this team's maturity is very settling. Looking forward to another good performance.

      I'll be sober for it. Made the stupid mistake of getting hammered tonight instead. Schoolboy error.

      Lets not get complacent. Porto is still a threat, they created a few good chances in the last game and could have scored a couple. They play direct football, fast on the offensive and we need to contain them. Their defence is suspect.  An early goal will be most welcome.
      There's a possibility of a Liverpool vs Man City final. Hahaha ....

      another professional 90 mins of football and we're in the CL semi's again god damn. our UEFA coefficient is going to absolutely rocket back up to the top 5/10, if we aren't already. i remember when we slipped embarrassingly low. Klopp has made us all very proud.

      It is all set up for us really in essence. If they come for us then we can look to pick them off. If we score we should go through really.

      I definitely see us getting 2 goals here. Can i see Porto getting 5 goals? Probably not. Am as confident as i can feel about this game without crossing the line that leads to arrogance and complacency.

      Porto are 2-0 down and at home in front of their own supporters. Klopp will set up for this. Am hoping we stick with the same midfield trio of Keita, Fabinho and Henderson.

      Lovren got a cold again? Aw, bless his little cotton socks................... ..

      Hendo is apparently a slight doubt after a slight ankle injury vs Chelsea.
      Fab, Milner and Gini would be my guess.

      Porto getting 5? Probably not 😮

      There is F**k all chance they get 5 past this defence

      If we get one.. which I think we will.. it's done and dusted

      Play like a training match then? And piss around? Take it easy. Look down on them. Walk in the park? No. Sometimes we get spanked when I see our players taking it easy with no urgency. Just a thought.

      I'd be tempted to rotate the midfield a little for this one just to keep a few players fresh for the weekend.

      Origi a possibility as well but just to make sure I'd like to see the normal front three, get a goal or two then make changes.

      Trent    Matip    Van Dijk    Robertson

      Wjinaldum

      Milner      Keita

      Salah    Firmino    Mane

      While i feel pretty confident about beating Porto tonight i am not going to be arrogant enough to think this is a foregone conclusion.

      I haven't forgotten our 2-0 defeat at Red Star Belgrade in the group stages.
