CL Semi Final - Post Match Musings

[slimbimjim]

I think we played **** in the first half but really picked up our game in the second. We should have brought on Babel I think to really take it to them.

I feel so sorry for Hyypia, I saw what he was trying to do there.

[Joe King]

Riise is ****

Alonso is ****

Gerrard, again!

Good luck to Chelsea, I'll be rooting for them in the final.

[kev776]

Im proud of them, they gave it their best shot.

[Jayesh87]

Heartbreak.

[johnly]

gutted

[Zambian_Red]

Im proud of them, they gave it their best shot.

Yeah totally agree i think we lost it at Anfield could have scored more and turning point was the on goal

[El Jefecito]

I think this was a good opportunity to evaluate some of our players. Up against the best we can see what they are really worth. IMO the following need to go:

Xabi - Just not up to it anymore, added nothing tonight was a passenger.
Kuyt - OK as a squad player, but today he added a bit fat 0. Another passenger we can't afford to carry.
Riise - LB we can't afford to have someone that is so easily bypassed and adds nothing in the final 3rd.

Imagine if we actually had some production from those 3 positions, we would have won easily.

[No9]

have to say you win some you lose some, dont mind that lampard scored with all that he has been through...

these games against the chavs always go to the wire, it just want our night

Torres off? strange one, but then Babel got a good goal!

It doesnt feel so bad when Maureen is no where to be seen

[copper]

I'm proud too. They pulled their socks up and really went for it. What a goal by Babel. And hey, we scored two at Stamford Bridge.

My question is: what will happen to the universe when the forces of evil and the forces of dark collide in Moscow? Probably bore us all to death.

Gerrard has a habit of shrinking against the big English teams in big games!

Alonso was average which as I have always said is his natural standard.

In the end there was not a lot in it.

Sometimes its just not meant to be...this was one such occasion

[Kenneth]

Yossi was terrible. What happened to the guy?

[L10]

I really wish I could say/feel the same Kev. I don't believe they tried that hard,second half yes.BUT this Chelsea,we had to play our best to beat these but it wasn't the case.Chelsea wanted this more and (hate to say it) and deserved it.Good Luck to them in the final.

Yep, he was a passenger tonight.

[El Jefecito]

Yossi was terrible. What happened to the guy?

Yossi, is bipolar, he'll either be super **** or OK. Tonight, sigh.....

[JohnDoe]

Riise is a disgrace to this club and should be ****ed off asap.

It's one thing making such a shocking error, but it's another "making up" for it by playing like a total ****** in the 2nd leg when you're expected to die for the shirt.

Gerrard didn't show up for both games. Didn't understand why Torres came off. Skrtel's injury hurt us badly.

Ah well, can't win them all.
