Quote:
The same was true of Anderson, who stomped around his old ground with a rousing fearlessness. Porto's midfield triumvarate of Raul Meireles, Fernando and Lucho had dominated Michael Carrick and Paul Scholes to an embarrassing degree for much of the first leg, but Anderson fronted them up and ran the first half. Crucially, he got in the face of the holding midfielder Fernando, who was unable to start Porto's attacking moves as he had at Old Trafford.

so similar tactics to what all the other top teams use in Europe then
especially Essien on Gerrard at Anfield
Anderson was very good as we all know he can be for over an hour
as an aside, we were very lucky that Lucho limped off
