thoughts on tonight

[Rocket]

****ing hell lads, get a ****ing grip!! We've lost by a single goal in the away leg to the three times in a row English champions (hopefully) and we've still got the home leg at Anfield next week to come FFS...

RAFA OUT

When i watched Kaka last night it just added the exclamation point on how poor our attackers are. Kuyt plays in the same position and there is no competition.

I don't want to turn this into a transfer window thread especially since the second leg is yet to come, but what high fcuking expectatin EVERY single Liverpool fan will have the summer eh.

I was really fcuking jealous watching Kaka and Ronaldo playing last night, knwoing we don't have anything close to that in terms of skill.

We missed Luis and i fear we will in the home leg too.

No, I've taken a happy pill and I'm feeling confident for next week's home leg which I'll be at!!

Plus tomorrow I'm going on a free piss-up and meeting Joey Jones, Jimmy Case, Ian Callaghan and Tommy Smith...

Life is never ever as bad as anfieldanfield always thinks...

I don't think we played poorly tonight, I just think thats how good we are. The truth is away from home against the other top sides we aren't good enough to break them down. before tonight we've played the other top 3 teams in England away from home, lost 3 times, conceded 5 and scored none.

we only have 1 player who has the ability to consistently cause the top teams problems and thats SG. Our other top players, are defensive players, Reina, Carra, finnan & now Mascherano. players like Kuyt, Bellamy, Zenden aren't good enough. Kuyt & Zenden didn't play poorly tonight, thats their level, thats how good they are, good but no more than that. We have Kuyt, they have Drogba, thats the difference. We can't handle Drogba, they can deal with Kuyt.

All's not lost, we can turn it around. It won't be easy, we will have to play at our very best whilst they will have to be below par slightly. they are favourites but we are still in with a shout.

Tonight confirmed what we already knew. That is SG apart we don't have enough really top class attacking players. Away from home against the other top English teams, we aren't a goal threat. In the summer Rafa will address that issue, lets hope he gets it right or next season will be all too similar to this.

Spot on.

You thought he played well then ?

I thought he gave the ball away constantly and couldn't handle the pressure he was put under from the Chelsea midfield.

I tell you what, he gave the ball away a lot less than the rest of our midfield, except masher, but he usually just plays short sideways passes out of defense, not creative ones.

Alonso is very good at shielding the ball under pressure.

He didn't play tops, but he was as usual solid. If you want to pick on individuals there are many before him in line.

So depressingly accurate.

Still, I do believe we can do it and turn it around in the home leg.

Long-term, our inability to threaten goal away from home against the top sides is a major problem and it will undermine our title hopes year on year if the situation isn't sorted out.
