Liverpool not as good as United

[Rich]

Hoping for tiredness isn't going to win it for us...

We want more bull**** comments coming from Milan, great fodder for Rafa to work on in the build up, let them call us every name under the sun.

End of the day is, we've been there and beaten them before - we can do it again.

They are all two yrs older and will play a few more games in la Liga before 23rd.Their subs bench doesn`t look too strong either.






P.S.They don`t have Crespo this time.
Aslong as we stop Kaka which ManU failed to do in both games we`ll be alright.
The rest off their team isn`t all that.

I'm pretty sure they only have 3 more leagues games in Serie A before the final.

3 more games that will sap their "Ageing" teams legs,are they important games?

The most important thing on the 23rd of May will be fitness.Their average age is 32,the last 20 minutes will see us in domination as they tire.As long as it`s close after 70 minutes i can see us winning.

Chelsea looked stronger than us the other night. I wouldn't say we have any advantage at all physically.

I read a report the other day (can't remember where though) where the reporter spoke how Rafa got all the players working as a complete unit, where the defence and midfield, especially when we're defending, work together as if they are being pulled about into place with invisible string as each player moves to cover his area almost instinctively.

Let's hope there's one more game in them out in Athens that they can all produce yet another masterstroke and pull off number 6!!

That is what was glaringly missing yesterday for ManU. their was so much space for Milan´s midfield to operate in, pretty similar to our first half against them only Ferguson froze and didn´t change anything, although he doesn´t exactly have the right type of midfielder to contain players like Kaka or Seedorf. Too often United had just one player on Kaka and they rarely or ever doubled up on the opposition. In contrast to Liverpool against Chelsea where you could sometimes see three players hunting the ball and closing a player down.

2005 still haunts them, it will affect them greatly in the final.

Price of fish?????




I`m talking about Milans average age coming into it after 70mins in Athens.

They are 3rd in the league and about 7 or 8 points clear of 5th, so they are in a very similar position to us in that they are not going to win the league but are safe in the CL spots so they could rest players.

On last nights performance, yes.

They were excellent last night, granted, but they were at home and United were piss-poor by their high standards. Very few questions were asked of them.

Yes, but how many do they have left in La Liga?

I wonder what all sorts of illegal activity goes on in there.

I think you are right, I was thinking that too. It was our players who were going down with cramp and such.

While I would tend to agree that they are so fit that theior age is irrelevant I suspect the reason our players were more tired was that we had had to chase the ball, and the game for most of the match.

[Neil Young]

You know, I reckon this Final could go either way.

[dww]

I think it will be decided by who scores most.
