that's what i thought cig. surely he hasn't has he?

[woof woof !]

So back to the most important competition we are involved in, I love us playing in Europe Rafa gets his tactics spot on and our player excell in this competition.
Ive taken this from RAWK they ask other sets of fans questions on their forums for every team we face, maybe its a good idea to start it on here ? These Benfica fans have some very nice words for our club great respect.

Good stuff in there Cig . Some of those benfica lads have very good english and a fair appreciation of LFC.

We havent seen much of Laurent Robert so far, but he might play tomorrow in Da Luz, probably trying to make his best exhibition so far. What do u guys think of him? he scored some goals against liverpool ive heard

[laza]

Seems like ages since we were plundering all before us in Europe
Cant wait for it to start again

Respect to Benfica but bring them on and put them to the sword and hang them on the wall along with Gunners and the MANCs
Champions of Europe

I'd settle for a score draw, we need an away goal, so vitally.

Don't want them winning in Lisbon 1-0 then bangin' ana way goal in at our place, we'll then need 3.

1-1.

[SL_Benfica]

I think it will be a very tactical game in da luz... it will be hard for us to score a goal because you will defend a lot... u know it will happen that way. Probably 0-0 ... and in anfield you´ll score a goal in the first minutes in your best and most pressuring moment, but Simão will draw it 1-1 in a genious free-kick   :P

We need to keep first half tight, the old cliche of quietening the crowd.

benfica won't score at anfield. in effect only chelsea have scored there this season, discounting alonso's own goal against brum.

a drwa wouldn't be a bad result, especially if we get the away goal. another 1-0 win would be a decent bet tomorrow considering we're becoming the 1-0 specialists in recent games.

[taff]

I would b happy wth a boring draw away from home.

Then let battle commence at fortress Anfield.

A win however would be superb, or a score draw for the away goal advantage.

[woof woof !]

We'll score a couple , don't think Benfica have ever seen someone like our Crouchie . He should scare the sh'it outta them . 

[mighty mo]

my prediction is 1-2 to liverpool,gerrard and fowler to score the goals

[the_red_alonso]

TBH with all the talks of Benfica being dangerous or their home advantage,i'm sorry but Benica will lose tomorrow unless something crazy happens.
Liverpool have so much European pedigree & discipline ,Benfica are going to be overwhelmed by it.
Benfica may pressurize Liverpool to the extremes but Liverpool will prevail.
2-0 to Liverpool & then i don care even if we lose 1-0 at Anfield.

[Judge]

i reckon we'll score early, and set the pace for the rest of the match, with a nervy last 10 minutes, leading 2 nil
