Topic: CL: Liverpool 2 vs 0 Porto Thiago ‘52 Salah ‘70

[Wabaloolah]

Matip's reaction when Thiago scores is brilliant, from behind the goal, top right of the shot!!

[telekon]

Nice and easy.  Incredible strike by Thiago, just kisses the pitch and never gets more than about 6 inches of the ground. Amazing.

Absolute wondergoal. Cleaner strike I've never seen.

[stockdam]

Weird last 15 minutes, you'd think they were 2 up with the amount of rolling around after innocuous knocks

They were at it all game……pathetic bunch of players.

[DelTrotter]

Nice little work out that, Thiago probably the second best midfielder to ever do it in this country after Stevie.

[Son of Spion]

Well, after a sleep-inducing first half, that ended up as a routine 2-0 win.

Porto are a bizarre team. They needed a result yet were timewasting and rolling around feigning injury whilst losing.

[Kekule]

They are in front of Milan based on head to head.

There’s no away goals as a tie breaker anymore. So they have 1 win each, by 1 goal, and Milan have a better overall goal difference.

[Red Beret]

with just three wins between them, one each!

Group of death my arse!

It is a group of death, just not for us!

[rafathegaffa83]

Great professional result. Take the kids to the San Siro for a pre-Christmas trip

[Bobinhood]

Always nice to throw 2.8 million euros into the pot playing a league cup side at a friendly pace.   

[Gifted Right Foot]

Nice goals, no injuries, atletico lost, happy days. 

[Samie]

Great professional result. Take the kids to the San Siro for a pre-Christmas trip

San Siro getting demolished so maybe the last time we'll play there.

[Chip Evans]

They are without a doubt the worst lads I have ever seen.

That doesn't take away from Mo, Thiago, Tyler, Ox, Mini, Matip, the insomniac greek, Konate, Williams, Alli or Sadio. An absolute jaunt.

Opened a bottle to toast the quality of the 2 goals. Blessings

[On Axis]

Milner is a magician. Conjured a yellow card out of nothing.

Fantastic result though. Very happy with Morton's performance. Did not look out of place.

[kasperoff]

Professional performance.

[amir87]

Lovely cushioned header for Thiagoooooo!

Oh yah beautyyyy!!! What a hit son, what a hit!

[Funky_Gibbons]

Thought Morton was excellent, great range of passing.

[FlashGordon]

Thiago Morton deserves his own thread.

[DonkeyWan]

Dimwit on BT# Thiago, have you scored a better goal than that?
Thiago # yeeaahhhh

Heh heh heh

[Fromola]

Morton is capable of playing in our first team. He's where Jones was probably a couple of seasons ago in terms of getting the domestic cup games and a good opportunity to play in the CL with us being through. Klopp wants him to fill out but Porto wasn't a problem in that sense as an opponent, a real soft as shite team.

He's the kind of player we need as well. A deeper midfield who can do the nitty gritty and with a good range of passing.

[Yorkykopite]

Robbo was fantastic when he came on. This is what competition for places is all about.

Porto though. What a feeble team. You'd have thought they were already out judging by the way they played.

[LanceLink!!!!!]

Thiago's face when he was substituted 

[duvva 💅]

Thiago Morton deserves his own thread.

Go on flash kick it off.   It should probably be labelled Thiago Morton as well

[Son of Spion]

Liked the look of Dias or Diaz.

Cameron?

[Desert Red Fox]

srsly guys, that goal from Thiago. Damn. Shades of Stevie G in his prime with that strike.

[Filler.]

Well, after a sleep-inducing first half, that ended up as a routine 2-0 win.

Porto are a bizarre team. They needed a result yet were timewasting and rolling around feigning injury whilst losing.

was fucking embarrassing. Was one of the worst performances I've ever seen in European football. And it was a performance... like actors on stage pretending they played football.

[Kekule]

Thiago’s face celebrating that!

[DonkeyWan]

srsly guys, that goal from Thiago. Damn. Shades of Stevie G in his prime with that strike.

A goal that was too good for this game. He was head and shoulders over everybody on that pitch, technically.

[Red Raw]

Sooo sweeeet...

[Chip Evans]

was fucking embarrassing. Was one of the worst performances I've ever seen in European football. And it was a performance... like actors on stage pretending they played football.

It was cringe. The worst I can remember off the top of my head. They had no interest in anything else in the 2nd half.

[smutchin]

Their playacting was just as bad as their football. No one was fooled. It was embarrassing to watch.

Even Conceicao Sr looked unimpressed when his kid went down late on.

[Kekule]

Shades of Diogo Jota putting Ramsey on his arse from Salah there. Put the Porto lad on his arse in much the same way, just a hint of a dropped shoulder.

[jillcwhomever]

55 goals in 19 games! 

[RedForeverTT]

srsly guys, that goal from Thiago. Damn. Shades of Stevie G in his prime with that strike.

In slow motion replay, it looks like a eagle swooping down to find its prey and then taking flight. Beautiful strike.

[Mister Flip Flop]

Really didn't get out of 2nd gear and still won easy. Some of the whining on here at half time 

Porto and Madrid spent more time playacting and diving in these group games than playing football. Two pathetic clubs.

[Wabaloolah]

Their playacting was just as bad as their football. No one was fooled. It was embarrassing to watch.

Even Conceicao Sr looked unimpressed when his kid went down late on.

yet again the ref didn't buy any of their shite. The European refs are light-years ahead of anything the PL have to offer

[Son of Spion]

was fucking embarrassing. Was one of the worst performances I've ever seen in European football. And it was a performance... like actors on stage pretending they played football.

Yep. A somewhat shameful approach and mindset from Porto.

We get used to certain teams timewasting and feigning injury whilst actually ahead in a big game, but to do it at 2-0 down when they desperately needed at least a draw was utterly bizarre and pathetic.

[Desert Red Fox]

A goal that was too good for this game. He was head and shoulders over everybody on that pitch, technically.

for sure, it was technically exquisite and he's a MOTM contender.

I would've lost my fucking voice had he scored that beauty on a more meaningful game... god I hope he stays fit for an extended period of time. We can't afford to lose more players considering our schedule + AFCON on the horizon.

[Morgana]

Glad we won. Gutted for Sadio though. It feels like VAR officials just despise him. They can fuck off.

Let's go beat Milan and make it a perfect 18.

[Red Beret]

Thiago's face when he was substituted 

He got his fucking hug. He can shut up and be grateful.

[telekon]

Ahh great analogy. With supreme grace that eagle.
