What did tonight teach us?

[JPK]

That Riise is a pathetic human being. Jogged to Drogba for there first goal instead of busting a gut. Lazily put his hand up for there third goal instead of defending.
Jogged to throws when urgency was needed and went backwards most of the night and gave the ball away for fun. Did one good thing and that was his cross to the back post.

Rafa got it wrong playing him and Babel should have came on straight after there disallowed goal. The game was begging for Crouch.
Arbeloa is only a squad player too.

I honestly think that if Riise had not featured in either leg, we would be through now.

Not to bet on us winning 1-3 at Stamford Bridge?

[tufty]

I thought Xabi had a decent game tonight, probably third in my top three after Mash and Jamie

bit concerned that JARs becoming a scapegoat and target these days, perhaps best for everyone if he moves on

[Assassin]

Ben Tover and Nic83 are closet Chavs

[rage]

tonight taught me that we fight to the end. as painful as it was in the end

[Robster007]

i ha ve just woken up from a 4 year coma..... how are my beloved reds getting on...

are they still playing ****e under ged???

are they still a hoof-it-up-to-owen team???

have we qualified for the champions league in the last couple of years???

have we signed any world class players???

have we won any trophies???







i know we all have expectations buddy but get a****ing grip... 2 champions league finals in 4 seasons under rafa. Team is getting better every year... and in all honesty it is liverpool and arsenal that are going to be the two teams best equiped to get better and better over the next 5 years....

i am as disappointed as everyone else but knee-jerk reactions like this is ust crazy..... look at the bigger picture.....

yes we need a few more players and maybe you are correct about certain players but le's be honest, if the players had the same attitude as you, then torres, gerrard, mascherano would all be handing in transfer requests right now.... your orriginal post shouts of a madrid or barca type fan..... total knee jerk....

at the end of the day, individual errors, namely riise and hyypia ****ed it up for us over 2 legs.....

but walk on through the storm buddie

Great post.

Hyypia though, mistake aside, is and always will be, a Liverpool legend.

[frank the tank]

oh yeah and tom was right......sack parry

[Barnie7]

We got beat thats true and we all realise that we carrying a few players...riise,pennant but as stated above...look how we have progressed under Rafa , build on this squad over the summer and we will be up there next season...we are not that far behind YNWA..Redmen

[Tatterdemalion]

What Yossi did tonight reminded me of Beardsley.

And I don't mean sticking it in Montse.

[blacky]

By his own high standards xabi has had 2 average seasons. Average is not good enough at this level. He is not cut out for the premiership. The game is too fast for him. I think selling him makes perfect sense as he will command a fee of 15million IMO. Apart from that the summer cull should also include JAR, Kewell, Voronin and Pennant.

Summed him up perfectly. Hes done. Newcastle need a left back and they can have him

Absolutely not. I would rather have Chelsea win the CL than Man U. If we can't beat the best, we don't deserve to win the CL. I feel Grant has taken some bad shtick from the press and the Chavs but he has shown more class than Mourinho in the short time he has been here.

[spud_gun]

Chelsea and Man U are better than us?

[wiw]

Also never bait cheating diving cunts in the press, no matter how right you are. Seemed to just egg Drogba on. Oh well.

[JPK]

The guy should have never played. He had a poor game Saturday and as he said the other day "Nobody wants to score an own goal but people make mistakes – and nobody will blame me if it's 0-0 on Wednesday and we don't go through,” Riise added.

What a deluded ******.

I also was fuming at the free kick we had at the edge of the box that we let him take. This is the semi final of the CL and not a time for sentiment.
He is out of form and has not scored for 18months and Gerrard was soft letting him take it. Gerrard should have smashed it.
