Am I being pessimistic...or does anyone else think that its Chelseas Turn?

[Skillz]

Yeah me too.

Purely in terms of football, tactical acumen etc, I fancy us strongly but I have a nagging doubt based solely on the law of averages.

If we were told, say, five years ago, that we'd face Chelsea in three European Cup sem-finals, not many of us, if any, would've predicted three wins for us. In fact not many neutrals would predict three wins for Chelsea either.

Three out of three is a big ask but, taking the tie on its own merits, I fancy us to win.

5 years ago we had Houllier in charge so yes, your right, we wouldn't have predicted a single victory.

Now we have the best manager in Europe

Precisely, these ****ers and there negative attitudes dont count as far as im concerned. Ignore them and lets get behind the team and make anfield a fortress again. The KOP was sensational against Inter and rose again against Arsenal. Tonight, 1 more time this season in the champions league. the KOP will roar us to victory again Bring on the chav *******s, for we shall prevail once again

I have full confidence in Rafa & the boys, but as the title of the thread would suggest, there are times when pessimism can lead to greater elation. I for one would admit that after Adebayor equalised I expected Arsenal to go through, but the boys didn't let us down and the feelings were reminicent of Istanbul let alone Olympiacos..!

I know mate. But seriously, 'the league isnt the most accurate way of measuring how good a team is' - honestly, it's up there with 'the earth is flat'... You know i'm right about that, even if you wont admit it

I'll leave fredo to his mad-cap ideas, i'm not even slightly qualified enough to help him with his 'issues'.

Carry on fredo...the league means nothing, the earth isnt round, the ball is triangular and you speaketh sense

My opinion of this is that Chelsea have a better squad. This will take it's toll on a 38 game league season and the managers influence compared to the CL in lessoned (sp?). However in the CL the first team squad (17 players) is more or less what matters and the managers influence is greater, hence

Chelsea squad is better in the league, Liverpool better in CL. Mainly due to the genius that is Rafa.

Yep the Arsenal game was greatest i have ever been to. I had my down after the adebayor goal and looked back up with Babel was darting into the box. Amazing. I had Arbeloas best mate standing next to me in the kop. Like us he couldnt believe his eyes, unbelievable night

I think we'll beat them tonight 2-1 or 2 nil and we'll draw 1-1 at their place. We'll beat them for sure.
