I think when people say a player has pace sometimes mean a slightly different thing when they use the word pace. The usual way as in fast running but sometimes pace comes from being in the right place or making the right choices(fast thinking).
It was a superb result and great performance. Gerrard has excelled in Europe.
Not best ever away performance though. Not close to Lyon, Leeds, Sporting Lisbon, maybe even PSV (twice) just off the top of my head.
Agree with this. Porto were a better side I thought. Still a terrific scalp. We've been tremendous in Europe under Gerrard.They were good going forward but shambolic at the back. Was very confident we’d go through after the first leg.
I don’t think anyone really gave us a chance, they games will live in my memory forever. I watched highlights again last year and that Leeds team was something else, cantona should’ve scored a barrel load but Goram as usual was immense, save after save after saveThe best part of the Braga game was we were pretty confident after the comeback at Ibrox.
On the night we were exceptional and always looked the most likely to win the game.
The Haji pass for Kent was world class and the finish was exceptional.
Having said that the Leeds results home and away were also exceptional over both games.
Leeds at that time were a fantastic team and full of stars.
There have been many great away days but Leeds topped it for me.
Cos he got nails through his handsWhy’s that?
That wank ohalloran had pace. Enough said. Whilst it certainly helps, any player as good as Hagi is with real pace wouldn’t be playing for us these days I’m afraid.

Good point. Pace of mind and awareness in more important really. Some players need both but great players can lose physical pace and use his speed of thought to make up for it. Holloran(can’t be arsed spelling his name)never had anything else to go with pace.That wank ohalloran had pace. Enough said.

Still can’t believe Warburton bought that prick. I’m no dinosaur but you’ve surely got to do your homework on a player ffsGood point. Pace of mind and awareness in more important really.
