another disgusting performance from the team not a single shot on target, people can blame the players but look at how the "manager" sets the team out to play every single game away from home, what a joke last night was i feel like i am owed 90mins of my life back.

Atletico were [oops] as well that was such a winable game if we would have just picked up pace and actually tried to score but no no as per usual in Rafas own little world, a draw will always do........ Pathetic AGAIN

we were rotten, but the anfield vibe and our histroy is great:)

i back my team to go through

Masch was injured in the warm up & pulled his hamstring, played like he had too. Must be a doubt for Burnley game.

so why leave him on the pitch? we all saw him limping on ch 5 .... what is wrong with dropping him? ffs we could easily have pulled gerrard back into midfield and given someone else a run out - pacheco, babel, el zhar, anyone!! i did feel mash was struggling with it - that was why i never included him in my rant, despite his abysmal performance

yea there's a good chance for us to go through.

but still awful performance yesterday (like most games this season).

there's no excuses for how rafa handled the game. aqui and pach on the bench for 90 min. he was happy with the result and that is just sad.

you guys think benayoun's goal was offside?

nope, he was onside.

Right the 2nd leg is here!

We know for sure, Ngog, Kuyt are injured.

Based on that we ought try some new tricks for thursday.

We goig go at them from the start, and im confident we can turn it around.

they don't like a rock solid def so definitely go for them

I really hope we go to the final. Would be nice (Yes i know its not good enought for liverpool) but still it would be nice for a change.

Since you mentioned kuyt and ngog r out, if i was rafa, i would try this:

Reina
Johnson-Carra-Greek-Agger
Benayoun-Aqua-Gerrard-Riera(yes i know)
Pacheco-Babel

Nice attacking line and we should attack from first minute and keep the pressure on throughout the game. If they score a goal, we have to score 3 and that would be really hard so our back4 better defend for our sake.
