Liverpool: The New Valencia?

[reddragon]

I know the article talks of a friendly, but are people in this thread not thinking of the CL game at Anfield? I wasn't at the friendly but I was at the CL game and they were frustratingly breathtaking. I remember being intensely frustrated throughout the match. Couldn't get near them.

remember it well

One of the worst LFC moments ever was when I watched Barcelona at Anfield in CL ... We couldn't get near the ball for at least 5 minutes and they just passed it around like a hot potato.

It was very frustrating ... And I think they have scored right after totally humiliating us with their pass game

Where?

Sorry; at home.

I mean we were outplayed away too but the Anfield game is the one I'm thinking of.

The CL game was 0-0 at Anfield wasnt it? 3-0 at their gaff. Although we did have Diao at centre half for a time in that match and they really did wipe the floor with us.

I think we got a man sent off and that didn't exacly help things against a team like Valencia.

For me, I was honoured to be present at such a masterclass. They had the ball for something like 30 passes, then we kicked out for a throw in, then they had it for something like 27 passes and then its in the net.

You dont see **** like that ever, no ****er could have competed with them that night. No shame in being on the end of that skill.

Even Rochemback got on the scoresheet didnt he ?

Im sure it was 0-0 in the CL but they still bossed us. I cant be arsed to look it up anyway but I think we agree, we got a hiding.

Lost 1-0 at home (Rufete scored, I think) and we lost 2-0 away - the game when Diao played at centre back and they scored that ace one touch, pass and move type goal. Aimar heavily involved if I remember rightly...

Remember that one well too. For the third goal everyone just stood up and clapped. Took us apart. Owen missed a couple of chances at 1-0 though to wrap it up. I think Reina was on the bench for them that night.

Oh well, either way I remember we were ****.

[AFII]

It looks like Rafa want us to play more or less like them. The only thing that they had and we don't is a player like Aimar.

Valencia played 4-4-1-1 and we plays like that this season with Kuyt or Voronin in Aimars position.

Totally ****, next to their '****ing brilliant'. Men against boys both home and away.

If we could get up to that level, consistently...

Since I can't be arsed to look and your encyclopaedic memory may recall unprompted, any idea who knocked Valencia out of the CL that season ?

No idea. Was it Inter?

Maybe. Must have upped their level a bit though.
