Champions League Thoughts

[fat_mike]

AC milan have beaten inter 2-0 in their first leg and chelsea beat bayern munich 4-2.

sets up some interesting second legs.

 

[Unknown Pleasures]

How crucial will that second goal of Bayern's be? 4-1 is a great home leg, but 4-2 isn't as good.

Also AC Milan looked all over Inter. I'm going for a AC V JUve/Chel final I think.

:thumnn POOL ARE ON A ROLL :thumnn

 

[fat_mike]

go the pool

the parts of the inter/AC match i saw had inter dominating. Ac deserved the win. rock solid defence and now shivchenko is back it'll be all theres. that is ofcourse if the mighty reds get done in the second leg in turin

c'mon the reds!!!!!

 

[Munky]

Lampards 2nd goal was all class.

The sort of thing you expect to see in Pro Evo on the PS2.

GO YOU REDS

0-0 all draw this morning in turin. some crowd troubles with reds and juve supporters hurtling missles at each other. ridiculous.

bring on chelsea.

 

[Raider Ultra]

That was the most diabolical match ever, not blaming Liverpool, they got the result they needed.

 

[Tommy Smith]

What you talking about Ultra? It was vintage Italian quality. Fantastic technique on display with all those well constructed long balls. :lol:

8) YIPI GO POOL ALL THE WAY 8)

 

[mightybears]

can't see the mersey boys getting past chelsea, but stranger things have happened

 

[mr panama]

bloody fantastic result! the game itself was very dull but we sought out to get a 0-0 draw and we got it. the semi should be an absolute cracker and hopefully we can get revenge after the league cup final.

 

[Foz]

The troops are returning.
Cisse,Alonso(were back today) Hamaan should be back and Stevie G. Where's Harry?
I reckon they'll roll Chelsea.

 

[fat_mike]

aparently cisse looked like he hadnt lost a yard of pace. class player and woth the midfield firing the reds will start to looke better. baros and cisse upfront against the blue scummers with stevie G returning to show franky lampard whos boss. great semi final shaping up.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Baros is almost as overrated as Pauleta. Crap finisher as showed by his performance against Everton and to a lesser extent today.

 

[weasel]

Isn't Xabi Alonso class. Him and Luis Garcia, go the spaniards. Rafael Benitez is a very very good manager (wish he was still at Valencia). It was always gonna take him a while to adapt to a new team, especially with all the new personnel brought in and the horror run of injuries. After a year in charge I think they will do very well next season, but if they don't qualify for Champions League it might peg them back from being real title contenders, especially if Gerrard does indeed leave.

 

[Foz]

Cisse only got a couple of touches today. Played about 15 mins.
He did one of those runs where you put the ball down the sideline about 10 metres and tried to outrun the fullback(could of been a midfielder but that position).
He accelerated pretty well but was elbowed off the ball and won a free kick.
Alonso was outstanding. Cant believe he lasted.
Put Baros away for a one on one but Baros pushed it just wide.
Garcia again was class. Tries to do a few too many fancy things but thats Garcia.
I thought Biscan had a great game (put him in centre midfield without Gerrard and he grows another leg).
My man of the match though was Hypia. Solid as a rock.

 

[Raider Ultra]

Yep, any ball into the box was dealt with by Hyppia, had a monumental game.

Great stuff Liverpool
