Rafa has to hold his hand up...

[kurtangle01]

We were all over them,our 2005 luck came back to bite our arses!!!!!

What did I tell you last night?

[Johnny]

What did I tell you last night?

That you loved me??????

[SouthAfricaRed]

in all honesty he was a bit poo really tho

He gave his best. No one can ask for more

It's not his fault we lost this one.

[Rafa Shankly]

It took Zenden 50 seconds to beat his man and put in a cross That found Kuijt.

Have a look at the start of the game

no thanks,not mad about reliving games weve lost.

said my piece about zenden and thats it,wasnt meant as an anti zenden remark,just my opinion.

[kurtangle01]

That you loved me??????

No. Not to be so cocky because it has a tendency to come back and bite you on the arse.

[Mr Tourette]

If Rafa got it so wrong why were Kaka and Seedorf anonymous? Why was Pirlo spending most of his time defending? Why did we control the game?

im so bored of these posters - how do you have the patience to respond 7000 times?

never said it was mate, but he was poor, with hindsight i'm sure rafa would have started kewell, and to be honest thats the only change i would have made for the first 45 mins because we played well in the middle and down the right, an extra bit of creativity from the left as well might have swung it for us

[Sir Bob]

Anybody having a go at Rafa tonight simply doesn't understand football in my view. Tactically Rafa was brilliant tonight. we made a pretty decent milan team look ordinary and but for a lucky goal we would have won tonight. They hardly created anything until the last 20 mins when we were chasing the game. We had 4 or 5 decent half chances which we didn't take, thats why we lost. i thought we played brilliantly tongiht & I was proud to be a Red.

Hindsight is a 50/50 thing!!!!!

[Morph]

Not fair.

i think thats a fair assesment of his game today, it wouldn;t be fair to single him out, but i never did that either

I see it as therapy for myself. Responding to people who are more angry and irrational than me calms me down

But when Kewell came on he did no more than Zenden?

mate your making mountains out of mole hills,i believe in backing the team,but at the same time i will hold my hands up and say such a person didnt play to well.
and ill do that without insulting or going over board in my criticism of the player,thats aloud.
and thats whats happened,no one insulted or over criticised zenden,it was just said he didnt play very well.

The point I'm trying to make is that We dont have a proper LW at the moment. Neither Kewell, Zenden or Gonzalez is good enough IMO

Maybe Riise at LW and Arbeloa at LB would have been a better option, but Risse cant provide adequate crosses either,

LW IMO is the number one spot that we need to fill. With RW and a striker not far behind

[Jennings]

4-4-1-1 was completely the wrong formation to use! Crouch should have started from the beginning in a 4-4-2 formation and either Pennant, Xabi or Mascherano should have started on the bench. Stevie is NOT a Kaka type player, although he can play there. I'm actually getting tired of us having to watch Stevie play out of position all the time because he has the ability to do so. Sorry but Rafa is to blame for this defeat and don't get me wrong he's an amazing manager & tactician, but tonight he definitely got it wrong. Oh and the ref was pathetic, I can't understand how he could have been chosen to ref such a big game!
Thoughts...

I disagree with almost every word.

The team was announced at around 19:00-ish, yet you posted this at 10:36.

Although I disagree I do understand your frustration. It is natural. But be proud. be proud of the fans that stayed in the stadium to applaud the winners.

We will be back to enjoy a better day.
