GINI WIJNALDUM. 6. Gini Wijnaldum was brought into the side after missing out against Chelsea, but he was ‘bipassed’ for most of the game and found it difficult – said the Express. Sky Sports mentioned that Wijnaldum found it tough to get into his stride, while the Echo reported that Gini found the Porto swarm tricky to deal with.. Midfield. Liverpool

JAMES MILNER. 6.25. Like Wijnaldum, James Milner found it hard to get going but put in his usual shift from the centre of midfield. Milner was accused of ‘chasing shadows’ and had more of an impact from left-back, said Sky.. Midfield. Liverpool

Fabinho is starting to become a key part of the Liverpool side and this Champions League game was another chance for him to prove that. And he did. The Brazilian was always in the right place as he protected the defence constantly. Fab’s fine physical presence let Porto know they were in for a dogfight. A fine performance.. Midfield. Liverpool. FABINHO . 7.75

Mo Salah. Ice in his veins. ❄️

Manchester City are now down to just three competitions after being knocked out the Champions League by Tottenham – but we’ve just got to hope that it doesn’t inspire them to league greatness.
