FT 0-0 Liverpool goes through 5-0 on aggregate Milner my MOTM. all over, defending, tackling, passing and making chances Hendo and Can also dominated their midfield. Center halves with little to do, and did it oK. I think Lovren is better than Matip. Fullbacks? Decent. You can see why the other pair starts. Just the final ball not so good. And Gomez was almost caught out and turned over a bit too frequently. Mane and Firmino played well while never really leaving 2nd gear. They missed the King of Egypt. Which leads to Lallana. I’d say he was invisible, save for the times he needlessly lost the ball. Ings showed he can play in the middle if we need him. Great work rate, defended, and found himself on the six between out played defenders often. Mo came on and we took off a bit. Actually unlucky not to get us a goal. Klavan gave away 3 fouls in 6 minutes. On to the quarters and the Mancs on Saturday. YNWA
How about that Houston knob Davis pronouncing Can as "Yan?" (.....which is incorrect, right? RIGHT?!?)
Both of those two were awful. Obviously reading from their talking points list. Knew nothing really about either team besides that. "Except they found that Liverpool played in red. 4 times. Both of lost the fact that we had a 5 goal lead. We didn't have to speed up or run crazy at Porto. Having vented my gall bladder at them. They did inform us, from their list, that Porto had won their last 5 league matches. Says something about the state of the Portuguese League if we played less than full out against them. All in all as a practical game. We controlled and contained them well. Jugen has been criticized a lot for throwing caution to the winds and going all out for goals. This will keep the critics happy. With the full team we would have hammered them....again. I'd forgotten Lallana was on the pitch. As LB stated he just disappeared. Got good thoughts for the next 2 match ups leading to Kiev.
Workmanlike management of the tie and we're through to the quarter finals. Good run out for several fringe players and Porto is spared further embarrassment. Getting revved up for Satdee.
Can (Turkish pronunciation: [ˈdʒän]) is a common Turkish and Circassian given name and surname, meaning spirit, life,or heart. Turkish use is derived from thePersian word Jan and Circassian use is derived from Circassian word Janberk. In Turkish, the name Can is pronounced just like the common English nameJohn.
OK you've heard the old fart bitch about the paucity of heading in top flight football. So I'll say it again. It sucks. We had two good chance headers at goal. Both players. "Closed their eyes, then ducked their heads Hoping" the ball would go in. Yeah, Lovren was in a tight area but at least try. Ings had a free shot and put it right above the keeper. Where he could have a Kodak moment. Just watched Ronaldo's headed goal. Hate to say it but he took it perfectly. Watched it all the way to his forehead and nodded it down.
Drives me crazy. Especially in this age of a coach for everything. I understand Deli Ali has a private diving coach.
