Porto (2) V Man United (2) CL Match Thread

redout

Ando's passing stats are rubbish - 66% !

Insect Overlord

I should have guessed that, Anderson replaced by Scholes.

Van Der Sar in no-man's-land there :eek:

Xavi6

VDS nowhere

lol, I love how people just ignore facts when it suits their opinions.

I was obviously exaggerating when I said I reckoned he he ran 2k,he does have one of those lazy appearances but can spring to life and the drop of a hat.Its just lately he has not been spring to life much so the laziness is more apparent.

Nah I think it was Mikey posted it in the United thread... You might wanna keep outa there...

Porto wouldn't score if the were there all week.... imo Anderson is not good enough for utd....that #11 for porto is shocking also...

That_Guy

Scholes first real involvement leads to a corner..... Should've kept Anderson on.

It's just his languid style. He doesn't bust his gut chasing down balls and he doesn't bust his gut to get into the box [which I'd like him to], but he does bust his gut making run after run after run after run into space.

He's just his normal level of work, but his end product just hasn't been as good.

Insect Overlord

Come on United!

Far too much pressure on our third.

Liam O

We are playing 9 men behind the ball and still not closing down :rolleyes:

That_Guy

United looking ragged now.

Dave!

ffs VDS, are you Cech in disguise??? :mad:

hussey

getting nervous now .... lots of basic mistakes happening

jeez - the berbatov hating is soooo boring. His passing stats were great, his ability to keep possession is fantastic. I wish, like others, he would be a bit more dynamic and pro-active, but in europe possession is king and he is great at keeping it.

According to Eurosport Berba had:

31 Accurate passes

11 Bad passes

So 74% which isnt great to be honest. 80% an above I would class as good.

vds must give lessons to cech and reina on the skill of dodgyness

PHB

So here's Porto going for it. The sucker punch tactic, I really hate it

You could have a point,thats the kind of stuff you don't see on the TV.

That_Guy

Great pressure from Porto.

Xavi6

Serious chance there

Mitch Connor

that was scary.

Insect Overlord

Christ, we're living on luck.

perfected by Mourinho during his time there

That_Guy

Should have scored that.

Aidric

This is getting hard to watch, we're playing way too deep.

ctrl-alt-delete

looks like its going to be about 8 mins of defending left for United,

and they look very very shaky,

I know im probably stating the obvious, but if Porto get a goal that's it, i don't see United getting one back.

Liam O

typical Nani :rolleyes:

Insect Overlord

Corner well earned by Giggs.

Headshot

vidic to score

Liam O

Wasteful Giggs but at least got the corner

Mr.Nice Guy

Tense stuff but I reckon we can hold out.

dr.bollocko

Nani an absolute liability at this stage. Great from Giggs to win the two corners.

roryc

F*****king Nani... honestly, why is he alive

I think United have played much better tonight than in recent weeks. It's hard to decide who should rightfully go through based on performance over the two legs. I think Porto just shade it for me but they need to score though. Not long left to do it.

Insect Overlord

Giggs and Ronaldo staying up front.

Ferdinand got let off the hook there :eek:

PHB

****ing cracking play Ronaldo, cracking play. Come on!

Insect Overlord

Hulk shooting from distance.

Injury time: 3 minutes

He's bad

That_Guy

Three minutes.... Don't see Porto getting anything now but football is a funny old game.

roryc

honestly though, to even say he's a poor mans Ronaldo is a slight on both Ronaldo and poor men... hes rubbish

Insect Overlord

Ronaldo, so close!

Keep the ball in the corner please. Kthxbai.

Xavi6

Porto have been crap. Deserve to go out.

hussey

decent shot from ron ... tick tock, come on hold on to it!
