UCL : Liverpool vs FC Porto
-
While watching Liverpool played last night ....
I thought we were gone case liao ....
Although we kept attacking , but don't seemed like scoring any ....
Babel can't do a decent cross , Kewell was sent in swapping position with him . Extra ammunition for Torres . That's how we got our 2-1 lead .
Although 2 men was guarding him , he managed to escape those guards , and scored . Beaitiful 20 million touch !!!
Everytime we launched an attack , what Porto did , was to man-mark Torres , and yet our boyz kept passing the ball to him .
I saw that and i think Benitez saw that too , that's why u saw Benitez sent in Crouch , putting an extra man inside the box ....
It works ... Porto's defense went haywire .....dunno who to guard !
That Porto man has to "hand-ball" so that Crouch no chance to head !! Penalty !
See what Crouch can do ? Set-pieces !!! -
No count like that leh ....Originally posted by 798:
looking at the table, pool will be out if marseille play ultra-defensive n earn a point by drawing wif them.
but there r a rare case... if besiktas won porto, n pool draw wif marseille, it will be a very interesting scenario...
besiktas will be group leader and qualify wif 9 pts. porto, liverpool n marseille will be level wif 8 pts each. so the h2h will be decide.
FC Porto 1 - 1 Liverpool
pool earn 1 pt
Liverpool 0 - 1 Marseille marseille 3 pts
Marseille 1 - 1 FC Porto marseille n porto 1 pt each
FC Porto 2 - 1 Marseille porto 3 pts
Liverpool 4 - 1 FC Porto pool 3 pts
Marseille 1 - 1 Liverpool marseille n pool 1 pt each
pool beat porto, porto beat marseille n merseille beat pool, they r LEVEL in head to head!!!
so the next thing will be decided by goal diff, n pool will advance since it has more goal diff compare to others.
Interesting isnt it?
If 3 teams on level points ..... head-to-head count first !
If Porto and Liverpool on same points , we two progress , but we will be Top , cos we beat them aggregate 5-2 .
If Marseille , Porto and Liverpool same points .... still head counts .
That's why UEFA encourage team to go all out each game , this head-to-head does that magic .
Ya , in a way , goal diff ( between the teams ) after those head counts if still level . -

Take a look at Crouch's goal ..... not at Crouch , but KUYT .... Kuyt actually blocked the 'keeper , this set-piece is obviously well reheare ..... all set-pieces are well rehearse . Clever Kuyt .
Even the penalty ....
Take a look at where Torres when Gerrard is taking the penalty , and the position Gerrard shot at goal ... Any rebounds , the ball will still end up at Torres' feet . -
