Tonight's Team and Match Thread

1-0 down at half time. It's still all to play for lads and I think we'll have these lot next week. Tuesday won't come quick enough.

[Robster007]

Please bring Ballack back.

One nil down against the current league holders despite playing poorly at times? Nowhere near as bad as it could have been. Pepe kept us in it tonight, and there is no way we will play this poorly next week. The dream lives on.

FT 1-0 We have wasted a good opportunity here. With a bit more bravery we could have got it to 1-1. Tie definitely not over but we will have to go for it big time at Anfield. They'll have Essien and Ballack back.

I think we'll have them. We have the luxury of resting players. THEY DON'T!

Please bring Ballack back.

why?

At half time i would have taken 1-0 but after that 2nd half we should have got something out of the game. I'm confident we can turn it around back at Anfield though, this run of not scoring against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge is a bit worrying though

[Red_Al_77]

Reina easily our best player. Not one of the attacking front six rates a mention. Carra excellent as usual. Riise and Arebola ****e. Rafa far too cautious.

0-1 To Take To Anfield Is Not Nearly Enough And They Know It

[Imy]

the problem is they will now sit and look to hit us on the break, if they score at Anfield i fear curtains, fat lady and all that.

[shelly]

Oh god... at least it's only 1-0

We have everything to play for at Anfield next week
And Milan too... hope they do in the mancs at the San Siro

Come on Reds
Come on Rossoneri

I thought we were pretty decent. Not great but decent. Zenden let us down on the left and he was our main outlet. We'll have then next week.

Tonight wasn't as bad as it could've been. I just think that luck is on our side.

The tie is almost perfectly piosed for next week.

Definitely. 90mins at Anfield still ahead, we'll have 'em

Edit: At least 90mins

We can do this.

They have a must win game at the weekend. Meanwhile we'll rest our lads.

Roll on Tuesday night. Hope the Coliseum is rocking like it was in 2005. It could be the difference.

Sorry. If i'd known i'd never had said anything. My mistake.
