Yes yes yes yes

It was a lovely through ball and finish. That will do.

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #82 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:46:44 pm »

Keita has been absolutely brilliant tonight.

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #83 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:47:15 pm »

88 Millie and Gomez for Trent and Keita.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #84 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:48:02 pm »

Bloody hell that's a relief - Naby has been superb this evening - he made that goal.

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #85 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:49:38 pm »

3 minutes added. Otamendi and Fabinho clash heads and both are down. Really nasty bang.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #86 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:50:43 pm »

Nasty clash of heads - Benfica player smashed into the back of Fabinho's head.

Blood dripping.

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #87 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:52:46 pm »

Fab back on his feet. He’s come off worse. He’s smiling though and doesn’t want to go off. It’s a corner to Benfica by the way. The injury time hasn’t really started yet, 3 minutes to go. We clear the corner and counter but it’s snuffed out.

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #88 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:53:08 pm »

Both injured players now back on

TepidT2O · « **Reply #89 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:53:29 pm »

Since the three subs, Benfica have pretty much not had a single shot.

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #90 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:55:32 pm »

+ 6 Jota should finish the tie completely. Great ball from Hendo and Jota is one on one, but the keeper does well to block.

Rush 82 · « **Reply #91 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:56:07 pm »

Eeeek been unlucky with the 1 on 1. On goal tonight

BobPaisley3 · « **Reply #92 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:56:17 pm »

FT 3-1 Reds. A bit nervy at times, particularly at the start of the second half, but we go back to Anfield firmly in the driving seat.

DelTrotter · « **Reply #94 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:57:05 pm »

Not the best second half but well worth the win. Hope Fab is ok.

UntouchableLuis · « **Reply #95 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:57:19 pm »

What a strange game! We got sloppy but always felt we would score again.

Matip in is the only change I'd make for Sunday. Diaz must start IMO.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #96 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:57:22 pm »

Pretty easy. Their best stuff was because of our worst stuff. Coast through next week.

Nick110581 · « **Reply #97 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:57:38 pm »

Should have scored 3 more.

Bit sloppy at times in 2nd half.

Father Ted · « **Reply #98 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:57:40 pm »

Job done, Keita MOTM - he was excellent.

Bit sloppy in the second half and should have scored more but can’t complain about 3-1 away from home in the CL.

tubby · « **Reply #99 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:57:43 pm »

Third goal gives us some breathing space, and City will know their tie is far from over. Good night, hope Fab is ok.

Barneylfc∗ · « **Reply #100 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:57:43 pm »

3-1 flattered them. Should've been 6. Tie is pretty much over.

royhendo · « **Reply #101 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:57:44 pm »

Tremendous.

Great result. If i could have shoved my tv in mcmanamans and the main comms mouth i would have

royhendo · « **Reply #104 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:58:09 pm »

What about the fella throwing the stick at Diaz?

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #105 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:58:13 pm »

Dominated the first half, had a mad 15 minutes at the start of the second then controlled the game after making the 3 subs.

3-1 away in Europe is an excellent result.

On to the big one on Sunday.

iamnant · « **Reply #106 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:58:16 pm »

Unfortunately missed the first hour but from what I saw it seemed really comfortable. Lovely goal by Diaz!

Nick110581 · « **Reply #107 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:58:23 pm »

Bobby Firmino must start on Sunday.

Andy @ Allerton! · « **Reply #108 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:58:36 pm »

Absolutely wonderful

What a game!

The fact that we can shake it up and do other stuff is great.

Could have been tricky, but we dug deep, made a few changes and the lads did great.

In the box seat for the next game at Anfield. Come on Reds.

Chakan · « **Reply #109 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:58:38 pm »

Not sure what happened in the 2nd half, looks like everyone took the first part of it off or were on drugs.

Good comeback though. 3-1 is a good result!

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #110 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:58:57 pm »

Job done Reds. Lost control with sloppiness but had regained it a while before we scored the deserved third and should have had a fourth at the end, not to mention the other missed chances (there goalie did well)

Naby man of the match, the only one didn’t drop his level and had a great game.

Glad to see Fabinho looked ok when he came back on

Schmidt · « **Reply #111 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:59:05 pm »

McManaman is such a melt, going on about us making 3 subs because the game was slipping away when we've been doing it every game regardless of the situation.

Second half seemed pretty casual but whatever, comfortable lead, lots of rotation and didn't seem to work too hard.

There was a dozen of them on the ground as Robbo took the late corner. The club basically handed them missiles.

Red Beret · « **Reply #113 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:59:31 pm »

Fab's got a very impressive lump on his noggin

Great game! But bloody phew!

jepovic · « **Reply #114 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:59:45 pm »

Referee was excellent and ignored their constant flopping.

Nunez threw himself to ground so many times

Ultimate Bromance · « **Reply #115 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:59:50 pm »

Would have taken that pre-game., but pretty disappointed with the sloppiness, should have been a bigger margin

MJD-L4 · « **Reply #116 on:** April 5, 2022, 09:59:58 pm »

Really dodgy 20 minutes at the start of the 2nd half but I'd have taken 1-3 all day long before KO.

Fantastic result.

Same again Sunday 🤞

Benfica (0.98) 1-3 (3.32) Liverpool

That’s a battering really, even though it didn’t feel like it in the second half

LovelyCushionedHeader · « **Reply #119 on:** April 5, 2022, 10:00:15 pm »

Individual mistake aside, that was pretty great. They got a boost and put everything into the second half, but they were fucked after 75 minutes, at which point we took complete control again. Says a lot about how good we are that we end up kind of disappointed at winning an away leg of a Champion League Quarter Final by only two goals.

Luis Diaz is the shit.

Keita bossed it.

Could see from here that Fabinho wasn't concussed..
