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.

When its us we're told that we were unconvincing, but it reminded me of many Manu performances, OK overall but with a killer punch near the end.

I was pleased with the build up play throughout the game, we threatened everytime we went forward, it was the final decision that let us down, Torres included, who could have put teamates in twice before he scored. Hyypia cannot cope with playing so many games in a row, exactly why Rafa is allegedly frustrated with the tortoise like pace of business at the Club.

And get picked of course Bob, not forgetting that bit.

Now we have a other coach (just for this year but hope he stay) its going all better.
Ten Cate is better as a assistent coach.

Agreed, mate.  We looked full of ideas all match but things were getting a bit hurried in the final third before Torres' second.  I also thought we had a few too many slack passes in our own half, giving away possession cheaply at times.  Gerrard and Mascherano were both guilty of it and thankfully, we weren't punished for it.

I forgot to mention Kewell's run that led to the second from Torres.  He had the Porto defender back-peddling madly and that set the alarm bells ringing for them.  As a result, their CB dived in a little too vehemently on Torres and got skint.  A great bit of dribbling from Harry and a flash of things to come if the lad can stay fit.

Shocking post.
