team for tonight

The Reds 11 in full is: Reina, Arbeloa, Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, Mascherano, Gerrard, Benayoun, Babel, Voronin, Torres. Subs: Itandje, Sissoko, Riise, Kewell, Crouch, Kuyt, Lucas.

Good side... plenty to come off the bench if needed

Were you offended?

Nope, I wasn't personally offended. Just thought it was a poor choice of intro. Regardless of the guy in jail, its still a crap segment.

John Giles 'Benitez spent A LOT of money last summer'


hmmmm, someone said here lately that the outlay was £23 million after players sales, which really isn't a whole lot in today's market.

Kimbot

Rafa said that himself in the last week or so Rigger!!

Yup, thats the exact figure. Its INFURIATING how these figures in the media get paid to spout this crap. Surely they could do a bit of research before making comments like this ? Sunderland spent more than us for gods sake! 23 million is not that much in comparison to other teams.

Also - sky went on and on about Rafas press conference. They say that he said he was going out 'not to lose'. Rafa spoke about winning all through the press conference and made one small comment about us not being out if we draw and so do the French. Hes clearly going out to win.

[edit] I'm amazed by the build up on sky. Souness & Hoddle. So negative. They basically talked about five things.

1) Rafa going out not to lose
2) Crouch not being in the lineup
3) Gerrard being bad for England
4) They dont think Mascherano is worth 17m "the jury is still out"
5) Porto being a really good side

And to think I watched this so I wouldn't have to look at the doom & gloom pundits on RTE.

Jesus Wept

When we beat Porto tonight.... :)

What is the best result in the other game in the group for us?

Besiktas win.

Unearthly

Just like I predicted last time in CL with Liverpool, a banker win for them. Torres will be brilliant.

Peyton Manning

Souness also thinks Mascherano is 25 years old.

This could be a very tricky game for Liverpool, just remember that Porto are unbeaten all season.

Vokes

Finnan's 200th game apparently?

Mucho congrats to him.

Guy:Incognito

Just seeing the teams heading out the tunnel on sky and got a fuzzy feeling when Rafa put both hands up to touch the This is Anfield sign. No idea why (the fuzzy feeling I mean).

It's kind of like he feeels a real connection to the club and what its about.


Something I've thought about a few times aswell be it watching on tv or when I've been in Anfield. Surely they could look into some sort of Perspex barrier (moveable abviously) that could seperate the fans and minimise the loss of seats to keep fans apart.

uberwolf

could George Hamilton STFU and not shout over the crowd, just let us hear them. Especially the protest.

George Hamilton has been silent all night ;)

Jesus Wept

C'mon Why haven't they scored yet?! This is very poor from Liverpool, dreadful negative stuff!!

[/RTE]


I didn't see them show the Kop with all the Rafa banners, anyone else??

Jazzy

love the way rte managed to get no footage of the "save rafa" protest and barely mentioned the fans support for him
in fact Eamonn "Hilton" Dunphy said that "I know Liverpool fans and they dont think Rafa is the bees knees"

they are in an anti Liverpool / anti England stance atm, prob cos England didnt qualify. fair and balanced innit ?

remember we are paying our license fees to line these guys wallets

They are anti everyone unless your team is called Arsenal

Jazzy

nah, just anti england / man u / pool

everything pool have done so far "could have been far better" whereas porto fluff a chance and it was "great"

why o why cant the BBC (minus John Motson) do every football game ever?

Jesus Wept

george isn't even commentating?

Bounty Hunter

besiktas lead

tricky D

go besiktas 1-0

Unearthly

Am I right in saying that does nothing as Liverpool still have to beat Marseille eitherway? Infact if anything it brings in another player(Besiktas) which is not good.

This feels like the line up tonight.

The boy Torres really is class.

Playing well all around so far, maybe Babel could do with some technique lessons.

:eek:! Goal mouth scramble! SOMEBODY put it in.

Guy:Incognito

Whats with the sudden great passing football thats going on the last couple of weeks and where ahs it been before?




1-1 . Not good. Arbeloa marking too loose.

kaimera

boo. ffs.

1-1

Bounty Hunter

great header unfortunatley

kaimera

Shoulda been 2

Unearthly

What a mad group, Liverpool bottom of group as it stands

kaimera

Jesus Gerrard, wtf?! Good defending.

I don't believe this. WTF LADS. Horrible play. Chance of 2 for Porto

Jesus Wept

fúck me this is turning into a shambles

Guy:Incognito

Gerrard with a through ball there he usually reserves for Henry.


Shocking miss from Porto.

Torres seems to try too hard at times. Should have hit the one on one with the kepper first time and laid off the ball just there instead of running into the defender.

kaimera

Bah, a nothing free.

Some pace.

1-1 HT.

Not happy since Porto scored. Playing poor

Oh, and I envy each and every boards user in Anfield tonight

Unearthly

Time for the RTE lads to announce the closing of Liverpool football club

Jesus Wept

What happened to all the Rafa banners that are supposed to be on the kop? Haven't seen any....

It's funny to hear Dunphy saying Crouch or Kuyt should be on.

He'd be giving out about Kuyt if he was on.




P.S Do the Hucklebuck.

el rabitos

that must have been the first gal we sored from a corner since houllier days

Peyton Manning

Liverpool fans booing apparently?

Was wondering that myself. Wheres the 100 foot long one ?

We were all over them until they scored and then we fell apart a bit. I think we've been good going forward but maybe a little too aggressive & rushed which has lead to some bad final balls.

IrishMike

Gerrard and mascherano are going missing far too often.
There are holes everywhere and Hyppia keeps getting isolated.
Babbel and Benayoun not playing well since they switched sides.
This is on a knife edge.
Marseilles win and the pool are out!
Torres is basically going to have to do it on his own.

The ref for blowing up after 44 mins 30 seconds.
No extra time not even regulation time played

Guy:Incognito

Archimedes wrote: »

Giving out that despite 2 goals and a few frees, throws, corners etc, the ref blew up before the clock even reached 45 mins, never mind adding anythign on. The fact that Liverpool had just got the ball and were breaking didnt help either.

Peyton Manning

Cheers for that. Didnt see the end of the half myself. Didnt think ref's could do that?

darkskol

would like to see kewell on for voronin and babel going up front

edit: Rafa must read boards

Guy:Incognito

Babel seems to making every wrong decision.

Were they watering the pitch at half time? Lots of slipping going on in the 2nd half.

Peyton Manning

Marseille 1-1

Jesus Wept

What height is Rafa? He looks over a foot shorter than Crouchy!
