Liverpool did not play bad or very good, they did what they had to do!
The game started well for Liverpool and then the last 10 minutes of first half they suddenly stopped playing and let Porto in who then should have scored a 2nd before half time! Truth be told the 1st gaol for Porto should have been a foul on Mascherano as he was pole axed by the winger before he got the cross in for the striker to head home!
Whoever states Liverpool were crap in this game obviously has no knowledge of football -

The 2nd half was inevitably edgy from Liverpool to begin with until Torres slotted home the 2nd goal. Liverpool then for the last 15 minutes looked like they could score whenever they went forward.
Porto's zonal marking is not good and if Liverpool were any better at the set pieces, then the scoreline could have been even more!
This league table is not over yet for Besiktas, Marseille, Porto and Liverpool and makes the final league game for each team a must win game as the financial implications of making it to knockout stages as very lucrative in deed.
Liverpool looking dead and buried after the first 3 games have risen from the grave and you would be folly not to fancy them to get that all important win in Marseille - after beating Besiktas 8 nil, then Porto 4 v 1 respectively.
