Post match : L'pool vs Benfica
-
first half : Liverpool downed 1-0 .
but nevermind , if you can't score goals , which is what is all football is about , you don't win games .
now we need 3 goals , which is a tall order by our scoring standard , we'll see what the lads is make of now .
See you at Fuill time . -
As usual, have to see this through the end, thick or thin.

Apparently , Benitez had looked furiously ay Traore for something he did .
Yeah , Traore looked kalang kabok at times , so to Warnock .
Think Rafa will sent in Risse and Fowler later on at a certain stage .
Most likely Traore will be sub by Risse , meaning L'pool will likely to deploy a Carra , Finnan and Risse in a 3-4-3 formation . -
Win or lose , Liverpool fans never made me walk alone inside here , right ?Originally posted by CoolMyth:As usual, have to see this through the end, thick or thin. 
Liverpool will win , have faith . -
Now we know why Benitez wanted to sign Simao .

Risse not on the bench.. Traore was scolded for not clearing the ball and dilly-dallying..Originally posted by Poolman:Apparently , Benitez had looked furiously ay Traore for something he did .

He shld hav scolded Carragher.. he played arnd with the ball and lost it

my sympathies go to gerrard and ah ben.
they have done well to spoonfeed them with all the chances but they just dont take their chances. -
benfica defence was great all credit to them 70 minutes now 20 minutes left............can LFC do a Kanu ?
-
dun freaking edit my post what I posted here was accept the fact that LFC is going out of champions leagueOriginally posted by Poolman:Win or lose , Liverpool fans never made me walk alone inside here , right ?

Chief Mod : : This is a more sensible post .
-
Ah well gg le.. so many chances and they didnt take it..
-
5 minutes left , the games goes on , can't see Liverpool snatched 3 goals in 4 minutes .
Liverpool strikers just not good enough , when u can't score , u sealed you own faith .
Good try Liverpool , try again next season . -
Ah well, Liverpool just ain't good enough. Good job Benfica.
The important lesson of Champions League. Every team is a team to look out for.
The stars are not shining on Liverpool this season. Next one peharps. -
Benfica went into the mountain to hunt for wild boars , but end up shooting down a tiger .
-
I told you so ...... in european cup football entire history , no defending European Champion succeeded defending their Title .
Benfica well deserve to win both leg , they can score and defend , that's very important .
Liverpool defended well overall , the only problem , where is our goals ?
Let's pray hard after this campaign , Benitez and staff work again on some new faces , and obviously some old faces has to give way .
Namely Morientes and Cisse , they tried very hard , but for whatever reason , they don't seemed to be comfortable with opportunites created for them .
I see them as 2 potential sale in the summer . -
former liverpool mgr, GH, took lyon thru with a 4-0 victory, against a 10 men PSV. so is it strikers or manager problem that liverpool cant score?
btw, traore is a complete joke. i cant believe he is still in the squad. -
-
You cannot win cup through employing out-dated and second class strikers.
That is the lesson learned for Ah Ben.
As for the match, except for the strikers and taore, the team played well.
It is about quality, not luck.
Crouch is simply not good enough.
Nando should be discharged to be retired.
Cisse should go to another club to play striker role.
I am not sure whether Ah Ben would stay in Liverpool after this defeat. -
i can actually see rafa going to the transfer market and getting a proper striker soon...
this team just cannot finish! -

Milan SURE was convincing in their 4-1 victory over Bayern at home turf
-
LFC Lose outclassed,outplayed benfica deserved the win
-
As Jose would say in the post match conference, the better team lost.
Liverpool was not outclassed.
Liverpool is the better team.
But, the striker was on AWOL mode.
Now, Liverpool can focus on 2nd place of EPL and FA Cup.
Most important of all, no more early morning soccer liao. -
When we are in their penalty box, Kewell, Nando, Luis Garcia and Crouch looked lost.... When they in our penalty box, Traore looked lost...Originally posted by Poolman:Apparently , Benitez had looked furiously ay Traore for something he did .
