Post-Match : Benfica vs Liverpool
-
First half.......
Not exciting 0-0 .
Pool playing for the sake of playing .
Playing for a obvious draw .
Our aerial strategy really frustrate them . They simply can't get the momentum going .
By the way , for those who haven't watch , Gerrard and Crouch on the bench for this match . -
arsenal real more exciting
-
same la , 0-0 .
Gunners better or Real better ? Who more hungry ? Who has more shots at goal ? Whose 'keeper more busy ?
Any red-card ? -

Benfica 1 - L'pool 0 .
Liverpool deserve to lose , 100% no doubt .
No hunger , no desire , no objective , too negatives , too complacent ......
Garcia s*cks la . kept losing possessions .
Kewell also , played like a sissy , kept falling .
Fowler nowhere to be seen .
Nando as usual ... miss a sitter of a header .
I'm happy Liverpool lost .
A lesson for Benitez to learn , the best way to defend is to score goals and attack .
Not the tactics we played against Benfica . -
Disappointing 'Pool. Don't think they tested the keeper at all.
*sigh*

In two weeks time , expect a totally different ball game from L'pool .
I expect an All-Attack Liverpool from Whistle-One .
As for this match , the second half Benfica deserve to win the match . Nothing can denied that , they were the better team .
They wanted a win , not our beloved L'pool , we plot a draw all along .
It can't work all the time , Rafa . -
he wanted to a get a 0-0 draw la..quite obvious..plan backfired when benfica scored from a set piece..Originally posted by Poolman:Benfica 1 - L'pool 0 .

Nonsense ..... it's the plot from the very beginning .Originally posted by anhydrouscoppersulphate:fatigue sets in..
We could have played a more control game , rather than those high balls pump into Nando .
Chances has to be created from their half , not pump up field , waiting for them to make silly mistakes . -

nah i think this time its the tactics..Originally posted by anhydrouscoppersulphate:our home crowd will make da difference
benitez will definitely go 4-4-2...
with a more attacking mindset..
the crowd will be a factor,but its more of what liverpool does when they have the ball..today they didn't have the urge to score... -
just waiting for the interviews , had to listen from Benitez on what he has to say ...... what excuse ?
Must be that silly excuse : " We make mistake and got punished ! " again ...... -
yaa i think so too..Originally posted by Poolman:just waiting for the interviews , had to listen from Benitez on what he has to say ...... what excuse ?
Must be that silly excuse : " We make mistake and got punished ! " again ......
then the commentator keep saying about him being disgusted/livid about the goal.. -
pity sissoko hurt his head. n gerrard not starting. although i think a draw would be a more deserved result. both sides were poor in the first half.Originally posted by Poolman:just waiting for the interviews , had to listen from Benitez on what he has to say ...... what excuse ?

Hope he stop playing Garcia , Garcia must learn to keep possession , even under pressure .Originally posted by stellazio:nah i think this time its the tactics..

We are going to miss Momo , i suspect that Benfica fella broke his cheekbone . -

pool lacked the desire to attack la..very evident..Originally posted by anhydrouscoppersulphate:pity sissoko hurt his head. n gerrard not starting. although i think a draw would be a more deserved result. both sides were poor in the first half.
just for that alone i think benfica deserved the win more..
cause defence and possesion wise i think quite even.. -
And here I was thinking a draw was not so good since Benfica might just get the away goal at Anfield.....
Now 'Pool has kicked themselves in the foot by making things even harder. They now have to attack from the start, thus prone to counter-attacks which Benfica has quick players to capitalise.
And Arsenal won 1-0 away. Amazing!
ECL is the cup of the underdogs.

it's a risk when you approach this match with that Man City's game in mind .
The lads are distracted by this plot .
Benitez obviously wanted to held this match , and at the same , sat aside resources for the Man City's game .
If we lose against Man City ..... it's really back-fired !
