Juventus == Old Lady.Originally posted by dragg:why do you call buffon the old lady?
Not Buffon! -
Juventus looks good from outside , but inside......
Nothing can stop us progressing into the Semi Final......Our defense are too good for Juva.....
It will be easier for us to play at Turin than in England .
As plan , we got a win , we got a goal cushion .
We will expect Juventus to come at us in the second leg . What better time to sneak in a goal against the run of play ? That always happen in football !
If we can contain them in the first half in Turin , then our job is so much easier in the second , 'cos they'll need to push more players forward , which means more space for our players to play around with .
What we need to focus is , very important , DO NOT CONCEDE ANY EARLY GOAL !
If we does so , then our job will be a mountain to climb !
'Cos you know how good Italian defense is when they're playing at home .
Oh yes , I know a bit of footie !
-
Gotta watch out for Zlatan.
-
Next round I fear the worst....
Juventus 1-0 Liverpool -
That's possible. It will be tough holding Juve to a scoreless game. Thats why LFC must go there and try to score, nick the away goal.Originally posted by X-men:Next round I fear the worst....
Juventus 1-0 Liverpool
You gotta have faith!

[color=red]L'pool must possess the form that played against Bayern Leverkusen at Germany , score first and control the pace of the game , stop them from playing to their rhythm .
Hope to see Hamann back for the 2nd leg , we need someone like him to spoil the Italian's rhythm , he's the best for this sort of sport ! /color] -
haven't seen us play so well in years ...
will be a tough assignment in turin but we have shown once again we can play ...
i think nedved is their key ... we gotta stop him ...
go the mighty reds ... -
Gogo Pool! We definitely need to score first and control the game. Don't let Juventus control the play.

I felt that young goalie did a great job.
Personally, if Liverpool should advance to S-final, most properly they will meet chelsea again, which i feel it is a team that the pools should avoid. But too bad... -
If Liverpool can beat Chelsea, it will be a AC Milan vs Liverpool Final.
Liverpool have played more games against Chelsea this season.
With Alonso back and if they are hungry enough, they should be able to beat Chelsea.
Chelsea is replying on their wingers to score goals.
Just stop Lampard and Robben, then they are crippled.
I am a bit worried about AC Milan. -
It really difficult to beat chelsea, cos Liverpool face them and lose them at majority cup competition, there will be those frightening feelings to face them.Originally posted by Medicated Oil:If Liverpool can beat Chelsea, it will be a AC Milan vs Liverpool Final.

The only thing we can pray is chelsea to lose 2-0 at Bayen Ground.
-
talking about Chelsea and Milan already huh?
like pool's sure to get pass juve............... -
good news!
Stevie G is injured and will not participate in the second leg.
now I pray Chelsea lose 2-0, no way are we going to play them the 4th/5th time this season.... -
Put it this way.
I rather Stevie G be fit for this match and not fit if we are meeting chelsea.
This will prevent him from scoring a "chelsea" goal.
I dunno what to say about Liverpool.
For one week, they have it all.
Another week, they lose it all.
I would have lots of stuff to write about Liverpool after every match if I am a reporter.
Alonso is not fit and he need steve to string the passes.
I dunno how long I have to endure so much surprise from injury until the end of the season.
Juventus 1 Liverpool 2 -
liverpool 2 juventus 1

What the fcuk , Gerrard not even in the squad flying to Turin ?
We're now in a sort of crisis ...... un-explainable phenomenal in LFC !
Are we sure without Gerrard , Alonso can run the midfield efficiently ?
I'm still waiting for Hamann's return !
Wow , our mf look like this : Biscan , Alonso , Riise , Nunez
Our defense should be the same : Finnan , Traore , Hyypia , Carragher
Our forward : Baros & Garcia .
Ok boys , Benitez just SMS me , he's adopting the 100% defensive strategy : Plying the 9 players defensive wall , only Baros upfront !
That's it , expect a defensive game from us ! -
liverpool has little chance of winning in turin.

Stevie G out and a half fit Xabi Alonso.
Im looking at John Welsh to step into the midfield. Things are certainly not looking good.
Igor has to really raise his game and command the midfield. The defence has to hold together.
It will be criminal for LFC to go into the game trying to defend the 1 goal lead. They gotta go try to and score the away goal. Set pieces will be crucial. The delivery has got to be good and thats where Xabi comes into play.
Things are looking grim. I won't be surprised if LFC get absolutely hammered in Turin.
But as a hardcore LFC fan, i'll be keeping my fingers crossed, hoping for the best - miracle. -
Liverpool is a weird team.
When u think they lose, they win.
In this case, they should be able to win for the fans.
As long as captain is not out there to blow hot and cold.
But, it will be difficult to imagine where the goal can come from. -
when biscan first came, he was very good in midfield right?
all the bad remarks abt him came cos houllier used him at centre defense wat. in midfield he's still good. -
but our home game against juve, i wasnt exactly impressed with biscan at all. giving the ball away on several occasions.. if we'd lost, the papers would've fired bazookas at him im very sure.
i'll be glad if we can hold a 0-0 (impossible) or 1-1 draw. a victory will be the icing on the cake

4 hours later and another date with Chelsea.
If Ah Ben have to resort to Unfit Alonso and Cisse, he must be DESPERATE !!!
Guess it must be the scariest match of the season.
Where the Juve players will be camping on Liverpool's half.
I dun think Ah Ben have found the key to make Liverpool players tick.
They seem to be swayed by the mood of their captain.
But, as with every critical match, there is alway a nagging worry about injury.
After we beat Juve, Ah Ben have to get his 88 jersey and go down to play striker against Chelsea. -
time to say goodbye to liverpool's challenge
