It was a dead tie and we got what we all expected but the game still had to be played, even if it would've been even better if Porto just gave up and said forget it lads good luck next round, which they really should've done after their arse pounding. Good to rest the stars and give the second tier players a run out anyways I genuinely think we can beat anyone in this competition and win it, we're more than good enough, the other teams will be very wary of us and probably wanting to avoid us for as long as possible, if possible
I’d take anyone other than English team. Want to be playing the big european teams not a all Prem affair. Madrid, Bayern, Barca would be awesome seeing them back at anfield. The armopshere would be incredible. Especially little Couts face if we knocked his new team out
Did we need to play attacking attractive football though? What’s wrong after being 5-0 up being sensible and keeping your lead, getting w nice clean sheet and boostin gthendefenders confidence (5 clean sheets in last 6 CL games now btw, not bad for a terrible defence). If wed gone gung ho attack like normal and conceded silly goals everyone would be moaning again. We all said we wish the team could control a game when ahead and that’s what they did... 5-0 up at HT why try push for 10 when you can coast and preserve energy?
Me too . Paradoxically I am hoping that we get a non English side in the Q/Fs. I think the likes of Real, Barcelona, Bayern will be far more worried about how to play us than City, Spurs or the Mancs (if they go through). But on our day we can beat anyone.
Re. English teams.........Citeh would give us a game, Spurs too. Wouldn't mind Chelsea or MU, I'd be confident we would see them off
I am with this. Would prefer to avoid an english team if possible. Apart from the obvious choice {ROma/Shakhtar} i fancy our chances vs Bayern. Would also not mind having a proper crack at madrid to make up for the joke side Rodgers picked against them last time.
Feel sorry for the fans but we did what was needed. Didn’t expend too much energy, kept a clean sheet, no injuries, win the tie. Job done.
Imo we'd have beaten them by 3 or 4 if we were pushed to do so. they came with a weakened side as well so that adds to it. They must be disappointed.
There is possibility of playing English team in the quarter final if four to five English teams are in it.
hard to know. LFC in Real in City all but assured Bayern all but assured Tottenham/Juve. away goals advantage and home advantage spurs. Juve didn't look able to cope with the intensity of spurs game. Utd/Seville. home advantage to mancs, away goals issue. Utd are my favorites Barca/Chelsea. Cheslea might raise their game but at nou cmap? will be a shock if barca not in. Roma v shaktar. tight one. Roma need to win. have home advantage If i were betting i would go spurs, utd, Barca, Roma. but i'd not be bettering much cos theres bound to be one shock in there.
