sorry i dont know!!

It sits over the entrance tunnel where the players walk out onto the pitch.

Touching it gives a LFC player magical powers.

Bill Shankly popped it up there to unnerve the opposition and to remind them where they are !

Can you imagine when Sammy Lee played for us he would of needed a ladder to get up there

a) higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question, (b) superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in question

so if we draw, we win by goal diffrence thanks to the porto match

thanks.
so i don't need to go to a math class as the newby told me ... 

but to be honest, i cant see the turks win at porto, so we MUST go the france thinking only about WINNING THE GAME !!!

I couldnt see the turks beating anyone, but look what happened there

So, not a completely convincing performance all told but a gutsy one.  In the end, we were able to canter home which suggests that the quality is returning.  Roll on Sunday!

Oh, and Ivor mentioned it earlier but it bears repeating: Quaresma showed tonight why he's not good enough to play for us.  An utterly underwhelming performance, for me.  We need someone of the quality and character of Torres to come in.  Quaresma has neither on tonight's evidence.

Fair point about quaresmo, but it was very good for us that he wasn't on form or we'd have been in a spot of trouble I think. In the second half I thought we looked very shaky until Torres's lovely second goal. I thought it was a built selfish of Stevie to not let Torres try for a hat trick with the penalty though 

All in all I'm very happy about the result if not totally convinced with the performance.
