Liverpool v FC Porto (UEFA CL) - Pre-Match

Liverpool v FC Porto
Wed 28th November 2007 @ 7.45pm
Anfield

Pre Match discussion here.

Not too sure of all the calculations but I am assuming that a defeat means we're effectively shafted out this competition.  Not too sure on the draw but let's just keep it simple.

Another big effing scoreline and another three points.

Cheers Rafa - don't forget to carry on 'coaching and training' the players.

Line Up For Wednesday?

Surely the same starting lineup today, just Stevie and MAsch/Alonso in the middle, and certainly babel on the right.

Based on todys performance, Babel has to start.

Any thoughts

Is Mr Agger back ? 

Well Ive got my tickets in hand and ready for the trip and looking forward to the game woots!! Have to say I think this will be the team

            Reina
Finnan Carra Agger Risse
Yossi  Gerrard  Mascha  Babel
     Crouch 
          Torres

I think the only worry is that Quasimdo bloke whatever his name the winger, the one who likes visiting the hairbrader a lot is very fast but plays the game like another portugues pr**k who plays for that team along the east lancs road. Im really looking forward to this one and will be in the anfield Road End for the game so hope we score in the first half. Dam that anney road end I always have to start the singing off. Anyway 2-0 to us Im going for hope thats the result anyway.

Are you for real pal? ...would you really play Riise instead of Arbeloa for such a critical game on JAR's current form.

AA every time over JAR at the moment. No doubt in the world...

Don't be so negative mentioning defeat.

We will beat the Porto and march on in the CL on Wednesday... for sure!

Chin up, less negativity when starting pre-match threads por favor.

The footballing gods may be reading!

Reina
Finnan Carragher Agger Arbeloa
Babel Gerrard Mascherano Aurelio
Torres Crouch

If Benayoun is ready...he may get a start ahead of Aurelio and switching wings with Babel...
Sincerely hope he does NOT play Riise at LB...Quaresma will torch him all night long...

Yes I would start Risse but and Arbeloa would be on the bench personnally I thought when we played them at down the right hand side they looked weak so a good stirke from the left might be a way to unsettle them.

I can't read your post properly...maybe it's because you typed it with your arse cheeks?

Now that's what I call a skill to be proud of.

For the record, I'm not a negative supporter and I'm as happy as punch with our form at the minute... if you can't take constructive comments that try to improve a very possible in our game, then that's your problem not mine.

Enjoy...and keep those arse cheeks flowing dude...

LMAO SDAEFTS BKDAS PBLDS !! ....so there.

I think we wil tear Porto apart on Wednesday... with Torres getting a brace and Crouchy scoring a wonder goal... how negative is that pal?

Kind Regards, W.M.

Porto play tonight against Vitória de Setúbal at about 6pm.

Porto have played 10 games in their league - winning 8 and drawing 2 and are sitting at the top.

Wait a minute, before we stop Quasimodo we have to stop their midfield build-up. We could see that their build-up is from the midfiedl. If we could just do that we're in for an interesting game. Break their midfield and beak their hearts. And we need to play a very physical game.

Rafa may have to think of how to stop the ball from getting to Queresma. If he could get Mascherano and gang to harass the Porto midfiled that would cause Porto to struggle.

Im only going on what I saw at Porto, Quasimodo is bought into play a lot and caused us problems down that wing and should be made a target to close down. Thats why I agree with your part about we must be physical, get in their face dont let them play and hunt them down. Mascha would be ideal for that role get into Quasi and burst his hump, metophorically speaking of course.!!!

Hopefully Rafa will be there, and hopefully not only will the fans voices turn up, but the players will put in a real performance.

The consequences of us not winning do not even bear thinking about.

My Starting 11

Reina
Arbeloa, Carragher, (Hyypia/Agger), Aurelio
Benayun, Gerard, Mascherano, Kewell
Crouch, Torres.

Subs: Babel, Kuyt, Veronin, etc

Liverpool (3) Porto (0)

i think it'll be more like...

reina
arbeloa carra agger aurelio
babel benny stevie masch kewell
crouch

start 4-5-1, strong defensive midfield, attack with long balls to crouch with stevie & benny goin for 2nd balls. later on bring in torres & voronin to finish it off 4-4-2

^^That's a recipe for a draw...which would be disastrous.
Torres HAS to be playing.

I think it'll be more like...

reina
arbeloa carra agger aurelio
babel benny stevie masch kewell
crouch

start 4-5-1, strong defensive midfield, attack with long balls to crouch with stevie & benny goin for 2nd balls. later on bring in torres & voronin to finish it off 4-4-2

if we went with that wed get the result we deserve and be out of the champ league. One up front at home in a must win game you arent steve mcclaren are ye??

Reina
Finnan Carra hyppia arbeloa
Gerrard masch lucas kewell
crouch torres

Thatll do for me although if we went with babel for kewell but with him up with crouch and torres id be equally happy. Wouldnt risk Agger in such a big game as it has beena  while since he played

I'd like to see the forward line of Crouch & Torres. Crouch playing only 10 mins against the Magpies...I'm sure he'll start & Torres needs games!

We need a very attacking line-up

     PR
SF JC AA FA
SG JM LL RB
     PC
         FT

Subs, I, HK, MS, DK, SH.

I think it may be too soon to bring Agger back in, i'd go with...

                        Mascherano

          Gerrard          Lucas         Babel
