MANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

25' Porto keeper fluffs his throw out and we collect, Gini rebounds the ball in their box a few times and it falls to Mane, who has a pop, and it just rolls over the line after their keeper connects with the shot.

1-0

Great work from Gini there... like a bulldozer at the heart of their defence..

I knew Mane would score, great player on a great stage.

Mane side footed it with a slight curl which glances off the goalies chest as he is going down, squeezes under him and through

28' as the rain comes down sideways the camera pans to the Porto manager... with all the water falling it is hard to see if he is crying or just trying to remain stoic...

Bobby is sandwiched by two Porto players who clash heads.

29' Milner get the ball and hits the post, which is shaking. SHAKING> ball falls to Salah in the six yard box and he pokes it past the keeper, 2-0. 30 goals for the Egyptian Pharaoh of the Kop!

Rush 82 · « **Reply #49 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:16:57 pm »

Mo remained so calm after that ball bounced back off the post - many a player would not have been able to diddle 3 defenders to dink that in

Post - foot - foot - head - foot - GOAL

That’s like playground football... incredible calm, simply incredible..

Great initial shot from Milner.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #52 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:19:04 pm »

That was some composure there by Salah. Porto with no choice but to try and score a couple, will leave more space behind and concede some more.

31' Virgil fouls from behind, Porto freekick.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #53 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:19:47 pm »

32' Long ball, aimed at the far post, misses everyone and it is out for a goal kick.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #54 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:21:14 pm »

33' Good closing down by Milner, pushes the player back, blocks the clearance and it is a Porto goal kick.

And PSG is 1 up in Madrid.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #55 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:21:36 pm »

Van Dijk?

Best centre back since Cara retired... no contest, he’s so dominant it’s ridiculous (watch him shank it into his own net now)

Chakan · « **Reply #56 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:21:37 pm »

So far we’re doing well just need to keep it tight at the back.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #57 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:22:46 pm »

35' The counter is always on with the front three and we are away, pass to Mane, he tries to square it and the sliding block allows the keeper to collect it.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #58 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:24:30 pm »

36' Porto look rattled and are chasing shadows.

Passing at the back the defenders, move forward now down left, cleared but we are back in. Firmino attempts a cross, cleared.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #59 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:27:01 pm »

38' Karius, Lovren, Henderson with a few touches at back, boos all around but they are booing the wrong team here. It is the home side that needs to attack here.

Here we go down left again, passing it forward, attempted cross and it is cleared. Only as far as Lovren and Virgil, and back at passing.

Fair call that on his performance so far this evening - he's been superb - evidenced by a silky take off the foot of one of the Porto players as he received it just past the middle

thegoodfella · « **Reply #61 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:28:45 pm »

40' The passing statistics for Lovren, Virgil and Henderson are going to look pretty neat tonight.
Throw in for us, Salah trying to make something of it down right, closing here, almost made something of it.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #62 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:30:36 pm »

42' Karius there standing on the ball, he gives away a throw-in.

Salah is away, he looks for a pass which isn't there and it is cleared.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #63 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:32:16 pm »

43' And for once the Porto forwards break though, couldn't close down there and attempt at goal just misses the goal. Need to take it to halftime.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #64 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:32:56 pm »

45' And now we are away, Milner with a pass to Salah the keeper is quick off the line and gathers it.

thegoodfella · « **Reply #65 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:33:46 pm »

45+1 Salah gets away, keeps possession nicely, wins a cheap foul here.

HALF TIME

TGF is watching via a satellite on one of Saturn's rings (does Saturn have rings) and doesn't realise we're actually 10 minutes into the second half and it's 3-2 to Porto

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #67 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:35:04 pm »

A really professional performance by our lads so far. Just one real chance for them at the end, which hopefully will keep us focused.

Is the lag that bad? I think probably a minute.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #70 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:45:30 pm »

So more of the same second half? Porto will need a goal here so will need to attack more, we need to take another chance.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #71 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:48:06 pm »

Players back out. Porto kick off

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #72 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:49:08 pm »

46' Porto straight from kick off send a diagnol ball down field, but it goes past the goal line.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #73 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:50:40 pm »

48' Getting competitive in midfield as both sets of players challenge for the ball. No more chances for either side yet.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #74 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:51:52 pm »

49' Porto attack down the right, but the ball goes out after Mane intercepts it.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #75 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:53:10 pm »

Mane doing good work in defense - clips the ball out off a Porto player to earn a pressure reliving throw in deep in our half

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #76 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:53:22 pm »

51' Ref allowing the game to flow. Porto looking very determined at the moment. Klopp has had a mini rant on the touch line. But nothing dangerous so far.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #77 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:55:11 pm »

52' Milner concedes a free kick. Not a good one though. The ball is flighted around our penalty area but eventually we get it away.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #78 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:55:30 pm »

Milner demonstrating the uncompromising side of our football - and getting away with it

TepidT2O · « **Reply #79 on:** February 14, 2018, 08:55:32 pm »

They’ve upped the tempo a bit here...
