UEFA Champions League Qtr Finals Leg 1: PSV vs Liverpool
-
Actually benitez had rather not tried to build the team around stevie instead.Originally posted by Poolman:The rhythm , the pace , plus not so physical type of display by PSV really fit our game .....
I like Benitez's game formation ..... he let Gerrard roamed and owns the midfield like nobody business ....
If England built a team around Gerrard like Liverpool did , England won't be so jia-lat by now .....
He was more focused on getting the players adjusted to his style.. which seems to be working out pretty well & thats definitely a good thing to see.
Somehow today our midfield today was pretty much almost non existent , or maybe they were pulling the strings behind the scenes.
The defence seemed to be coming up more, with the likes of riise & finnan playing their part scoring & also creating goals respectively.
Finnan's precision in delivering those crosses were of undeniable importance.
The three goals were simply beautiful, with the first goal really caught me off guard.
Didn't even notice the ball went in, thought it was side netting.
Riise's goal was beyond words , also partially because the opposition's defence weren't seem to be doing their job.. think they prolly lost the mood to play well already, or rather i felt PSV was pretty half hearted in this game? concentrating on their domestic league rather it seems..
As for crouch, he has simply delighted fans with his noticable improvement whether it being ball control & also his accuracy with both his feet & headers.
Overall , a good away outing for pool, and a step away from the semi.
COME ON YOU REDS! -

Can't be blamed because no one would have expected a defensive wall like PSV to succumb to 3 in the end.Originally posted by Patrik:

if england SM let gerrad n carrick on the central midfield and lampard as sub, they can just win the world cup.Originally posted by Poolman:The rhythm , the pace , plus not so physical type of display by PSV really fit our game .....

anyway, liverpool looked relaxed and gerrard doesn't feel any pressure at all -
and i won in the -1 1/2 section
buy 5 win 18 -
i still feel psv play very badly last nite esp their poor defence.
there is even one point the ball going to be out of the line but didnt n pool player nearly score.
pool managed to score from the chance they have n this is simple not psv nite. -

Of course, he was given space to roam and it is his best position afterall to be in the centre. Moreover PSV were playing badly, Gerrard and the rest of Liverpool had every chance to be confident.Originally posted by gigabyte14:if england SM let gerrad n carrick on the central midfield and lampard as sub, they can just win the world cup.

Then kudos to Liverpool for captialising on PSV's poor play and putting away their chances. Victory fully deserved.Originally posted by 798:i still feel psv play very badly last nite esp their poor defence.
