Robertson's crossing is so shit it's make Mo loo even worse.

On the night that Trent's crossing is brilliant even by his standards.

[Anubis]

Good half. Could easily add to this second half.

[John102]

Because of Thiago's fantastic passing its easy to forget that FM21 had his dribbling at 17.

[niallers]

That was like his attempt at control for his hattrick at Old Trafford. But he managed to score that while just hit the keepers arm here. Small margins. At least he's getting into those areas. It'll come for him.  The clichéd one off his arse would be nice

Sub him bring Bobby on . We could have cruised 2nd half if he passed that. Shocking

Wasted about five chances. Díaz looking great and Mane pretty lively. I agree with you, get him off and let Firmino create even more space for the other two. 

[therevivalist]

Mo needs  a goal to regain some confidence.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Absolutely brilliant half that. Should have scored at least four.

 

Two world class passes from Trent, one rewarded with a goal and the second should have been as well.

 

Konate, Trent, Keita, Thiago and Diaz all brilliant. The rest good, except Salah and Robertson which have both been quite sloppy.

 

 

[bossy]

Sensational tonight. Keep it up reds!

[Daisy]

Dominant. 

 

Think that's the best our midfield has played all year. 

 

Salah is dog shit at the moment though, his place has got to be under question soon.

Mo needs to stop fucking around and sign the contract.

Think that'll sort him out.

[Tj hooker]

Mo just needs a goal , the old saying form is temporary class is permanent is certainly the case with him lately 

[Jairzinho]

Seema Jaswal... my word.

Thank you, was wondering who that dusky barbie was

[Jordy Brouwer]

Not a bad half. 

 

Not bad at all.

Think this will be a bit of a rout if I'm honest. There's a reason everyone thought this was a great draw. They don't match up well with us at all, probably even worse than Porto. Their only hope is to go LMA-style low block and try to counter. I doubt they will do that at home though, so there's going to be space for us both between the lines and in behind. Be interesting how we set up. 

 

I'm going with a conservative 4-0 win for us, which should see us comfortably through to the next round, and give us a nice confidence-booster ahead of Sunday.

Salah with a brace to break his scoring duck, and a couple of set piece goals would be nice too.

 

Halfway there, if only Mo had his shooting boots on my prodiction would have been in already...

 

So refreshing playing in Europe. Flawless pitches, great atmosphere and teams that try to play a bit of football. All playing nicely to our strengths of course

This is a Thiago fetishism board, we'll have none of that here. 

[bizzle10]

Salah will get a hattrick on sunday

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Mo is playing like evil Torres.

 

Come over to the light, and sign that contract.

Mo still suffering from too much time spent with that shit Egyptian team.

     HT: Benfica 0-2 Liverpool

     Just watching a replay of Trent Alexander-Arnold's ball to Luis Diaz in the build up to Liverpool's second goal. It needs putting in a time capsule for future generations to marvel at. Exquisite.

     James D: Does any neutral actually enjoy watching city? Most boring team, congrats you made 1000 passes and didn't have a shot on target.

Bring Mane off. Mane has a yellow card. No need to risk him.
