    Rafa After Match/WENGER AND HENRY HAIL 'FABULOUS' FANS



    Rafael Benitez reflected on the 3-1 FA Cup defeat by Arsenal and admitted defensive mistakes cost his side dear.

    The Liverpool manager felt the Reds started the game well but added he was disappointed with the errors.

    "It was a bad day for all our supporters and for us and we have to be disappointed because we made some mistakes which cost us," admitted Benitez.

    "We controlled the game for the first 35 minutes but we then made two mistakes and we found ourselves 2-0 down at half-time. We then got back into the game but made another mistake but with us going forward and trying to get another goal that was always a risk.


    WENGER AND HENRY HAIL 'FABULOUS' FANS



    Arsene Wenger and Thierry Henry have joined forces to hail the Liverpool fans after an unprecedented show of fan passion kicked off Saturday's FA Cup clash at Anfield.
    The opening six minutes of the tie were played against a backdrop of incessant chanting of "Justice for the 96" as fans on the Kop held up a mosaic spelling 'The Truth' and sang their hearts out in an appeal for the justice they feel those who lost their lives at Hillsborough have never received.

    The inspiration for the idea came from the organisers of the newly launched Reclaim The Kop campaign and, while Arsenal may have prevailed on the pitch, the main men at their club were full of respect for the home fans.

    Wenger said: "You can only admire the Liverpool fans. They kicked every ball for the team for the whole 90 minutes and were just fabulous. The club has a great support here."

    Star striker Henry, who netted the third goal which killed off any chances the Reds had of a late fightback, added: "I'm not sure what the fans were singing at the start of the game but when it stopped the noise they made meant no-one could hear what was going on on the pitch.

    "I have such respect for this ground and these supporters. What a place this is to play football."
    "It was a close game but when you make a mistake you normally get punished. Xabi Alonso thought he could have had a penalty but I haven't seen the replay again and you can't change these things now. I don't think he should have been given a yellow card though."

    Henry is a gentleman, I was a little dissapointed with his hand behind the ear gesture but otherwise he is very dignified.

    Wish he had played for us.

    I think sometimes he does too.

      I can't understand LFC fans who hate Henry. He's fantastic. Yes he may be arrogant at times, but there's nout wrong with that if you've got it! And he does!

        He can back up the arrogance.
        Plenty of respect for Henry, plays the game the way it should be played.

          Well he was roundly applauded when he was substituted, the majority of our fans with brains appreciate a great player when we see one.

            Henry...'I didn't know what they were singing about'.

            Just goes to show how many people are still unaware of this entire issue.

              Don't think that was directed at the Liverpools fans to be fair,
              don't think it was directed at anyone from what i saw.

                    Like Mourinho, it's very easy to be gracious and dignified in victory. Henry's post match comments after last seasons CL Final indicate he's about as dignified in defeat as a 5 year old.

                      Marky said that Gerrard goes missing in the big games. Henry is one of the biggest chokers out there for big matches.

                        What?

                        Dunno who was targetted by the celebration, but he was obviously directing it at someone.
                        Well, here we are in a room with two manky hookers and a racist dwarf. I think I'm heading home.

                          For me, Thierry Henry is a great man.

                          So what if he's arrogant at times - hell, if anyone can be, Henry can be.

                          I dont really care about his celebrations.

                          Thierry always has good things to say about Liverpool, and for that, and also for being a brillinat tallent, he has my respect!

                            love him and how he admires us.

                            i think the hand to the ear was not meant as disrespect, it was more towards the arsenal fans. man if i would have scored the goal witch kicked liverpool out of the fa cup at their home ground i'd run to the away cround and get ballistic...

                            much respect
