At least its in our hands going to the Stade Velodrome, we have to be full of confidence that we can get the three points. It was nervy last night when it was 1-1, a goal in either game could have seen us out but we showed our killer instinct and fighting spirit and got the breakthrough thanks to some class from Kewell and Torres. Kewell again was excellent when he was introduced, showed more in 20 mins than Babel & the awful Benayoun had all night, but it shows we have decent competition for places out wide, and different types of player too, esp when Pennant returns.
Porto were awful til they scored, and then pretty negative after half time. I like Lisandro Lopez, he looks a good player, and the left back had a good game as well. But apart from that i thought Quaresma was woeful and the other winger (Gonzalez??) offered a sum total of nothing, although maybe that had as much to do with the way Finnan & Arbeloa played.
Good answer from Liverpool, another scoreline like that would be nice away at L'OM.
