Liverpool cruised into the quarter-finals of the Champions League, following up their 5-0 away win at Porto with a comfy 0-0 draw in the return leg. So what were the observations from a rather un-exciting game?
Boring, Boring Liverpool Do The Job
On paper, it wasn’t billed as a hugely exciting game, and perhaps Liverpool deserve...

Match Review
It's not often Liverpool are involved in games that fail to get the pulses racing.

Job done, professional work, blah blah blah. That was a little boring, wasn't it?

Despite stark divisions between their position in the Premier League table, this looked like a testing fixture for Liverpool. Newcastle hadn't lost a league game for over two and a half months, bar Manchester City while Rafa's ability to grind out an unlikely point meant he could never truly be ruled out the contest.

This is how the Reds fared.
Loris Karius (8) -Â Was a spectator for most of the match, but when called upon, made a world-class save...
High-flying Liverpool head into a crucial phase of the season, looking to strengthen their grip on the top 4 and maybe even second place in the Premier League.
