Match Day Thread Vs Porto (H)

Var can’t give yellows though. Only reds, although it could have easily been a red. Was unlucky in that he got pulled back so put off balance, maybe that’s what saved him?

 

The the ref gave the free kick and then asked for VAR assistance

 

Naby Keita won eight tackles tonight against Porto; the most by any player in a CL knockout match this season.

 

Only C.Ronaldo (24) has more goal involvements than Firmino (23) in the Champions League since the start of last season ⚽️

 

Did I hear right from the pundits ,VAR isn't there to make decisions / offer advice, just to offer replays of play from different angles for the ref to watch?That is NOT what TMO is all about in RU.
ps
That was Keita's best game for us so far.

 

Dreaming of Liverpool V Tottenham final.

 

Why??

I'd rather anyone bar an English club. No matter who it is the English press will get behind them not us.

Man of the match: Roberto Firmino

 

Not at our best but still good enough.

Bobby MOTM again.

 

unfair to Lovren. mane was quiet though.

 

Second half was a bore, but first half we played decent. Keita looked better again, as was Fabinho and Henderson to be fair. Firmino motm for sure

 

Bobby coming into form it seems...

And great that robbo Matip and Gini all got much needed rest.

 

Who cares about press?

 

for 3 or 4 full weeks of how spurs deserve this blah blah blah? no thanks.

full time how great is poch?

no thanks.


I can take the begrudging hope you lot lose as they grumble and spit bile for 4 weeks if we are in final.

 

3-4 wks of that praise and build up for us to piss all over it?

 

... and Salah is as predictable as ever.

 

This isn't done but 1 goal from us and it is over I don't think we'll be going gung ho though and will probably look to shut shop and catch them on the break.

 

I hope we are not going to rue Salah missed chance?. He was lucky not to be sent off too.

 

I liked Hendo in an advanced role (MOTM for me). He created very good chances, combined well on the right and his energy is what kept Porto penned in. More of the same please.
