FC Porto vs Liverpool - Champions League - Wednesday 14 February

[magneto]

Expecting Henderson to return as Emre is suspended. Hoping Karius is still between the sticks. Porto unbeaten in the league this season and looking strong.

 

I'd go

 

Karius

Gomez Matip Van Dijk Robertson

Henderson Milner Wijnaldum

Bobby Mo Mane

 

Our record against them is W2 D2 with the last meeting between the sides in 2007 (4 - 1 at Anfield, Group Stages, 1 - 1 was the first meeting in the group in Portugal).

[Rory Fitzgerald]

TAA over Gomez and not sure about Milner. Rest looks spot on. I’d be inclined to go AOC.

[usualsuspect]

Milner to come off the bench if we are leading for me. Ox will come back to form and we need his energy and pace.

[mofus77]

Is Gomez injured?

[McBain]

Reckon Moreno starts this

[Leo No.8]

Reckon Moreno starts this

I think Robertson has nailed that position down, and if he keeps his form Moreno isn’t getting a look in.

 

I’d like to see Moreno as sub for Mane at left wing from time to time - he’s had some nice little cameos coming on there and his pace can be dangerous against tiring defenders. Plus he’s far away from our goal.

 

I never want to see him at left back ever again.

 

It would be a bizarre risk to throw him into this.

[Cunny]

If Gomez is fit he starts.

[cymrococh]

Reckon Moreno starts this

Absolutely no reason to put us all through this; Robertson is fit, strong and good.

No but he's been defensively poor lately

Lacking European experience though

I've successfully completed the negotiations on taking the gf out for Valentine's Day dinner on Tuesday so as to be free to watch this game.

 

I'm not sure there's anyone else that could have achieved such a successful outcome.

 

If only I could be put in charge of our transfer dealings.

Scored goals at international level, performed well against other top sides who are in Europe. Not going to worry about him.

Moreno has loads of experience. He's a shoe in.

Needs a shoeing?

We’re going to Porto for valentines

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Robbo has been really solid, this isn't time to f*** about. Pick your strongest & steadiest side.

 

Re Porto unbeaten in the League; 01-02 was the last time either Porto or Benfica didn't win the Portuguese league, it's not the most competitive - 32 of the last 35 seasons one of the two of them has won it

Valentines is a load of b******s.

[Gethin]

Valentines is a load of b******s.

 

Aye - we don't ever bother, but annoyingly I thought this game was Tuesday and bought gig tickets for Wednesday. Will get to see the first half though 

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Valentines is a load of b******s.

 

Luckily I have a wife who shares this sentiment.

 

She's in Milan all this week too

[Hassony]

Most women love valentine's, just because they tell you it's a load of b****x doesn't really mean that they wouldn't love to be treated with gifts/flowers/dinner on the day

[Swipe]

I've convinced my wife to do summat for valentines at the weekend. I told her when the draw was made we couldn't go out that night.

 

Cos I'm a bloody bloke.

[kop205]

Surely that Aldi advert which is saying how cheaply you can get steak, prosecco and roses mean that nobody in their right mind is buying them. Not that it shows much imagination anyway, like.

[McBain]

The wife still hasn't bought my Christmas present she ain't getting a Valentine's gift

Thanks Swiss Hassony.
