Amazing how Andy can spot one but not the other.

Actually think Robbens challenge that Messi got out the way of was probably worse. Two footed lunge.

Bad decision but HA!

But for the goal from the FK, no one would have started a complaint thread. We would have been happy with 0 0 . We deserved at least a draw. We are not out by a long way.

The team Rafa picked should have still done a lot better than what they did. A few players just didnt perform. But had it stayed 0 0 we wouldnt be complaining much at all.

Would like to have seen Crouch on tonight. We could have don with him holding the ball up

true. He was very sharp and alert tonight.

Shocking performance. Right from the yellow card in the first seconds of the game.

FT

We have been the better team but without threatening their goal at all. kewell has been poor second half. Garcia poor all game. Robbie and Nando didnt get much to work with.

Blah. Benfica score

Not as much as the first half. We havent made the kepper make a save yet really. SG on for Morientes.

SG coming on

Good chance for Morientes there. Header wide

We need to test their keeper. havent made him work all game Cisse getting ready

Heard nothing yet. quite worrying. Garcia with an early chance. Way off target Henry scores a cracker for Arsenal Sissoko has gone to hospital for a check up on the head injury. not good Fowler with a great ball out to Morientes, Moros cross not so good.

Wish we would stop letting Riise hit the FKs. Far too far out there. Though he is having a decent game. Just coming up to HT and we are doing well here. We should go into second half looking to take a win back home with us. Hopefully get some news on Sissoko at HT. heard nothing since he was taken down the tunnel. Steve Finnan having a great game again. Uh OH Dangerous FK to Benfica on the edge of our box. Simao over the bar HT

Sissoko taken off on stretcher. Still off. Has been playing well too. Hope hes ok Looks like Didi coming on for Momo Sissoko not coming back. Must be bad. Taken down the tunnel. Didi on

Sissoko looks badly hurt here

Reina off the line well after our offside fails Reina very very quick and strong off his line there. Good goalkeeping Momo kicked in face. Yellow for Benfica player Beto

ITV4 if you have it

Woodgate off injured in less than 10 minutes for Real

Kewells even going past players.

Nice one Rafa. Take no s*** from the b******s!

No, but im basing it on what hes done over the past months rather than on the one game.
