Benitez Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Well deserved though might I add! Sure we made it hard for ourselves, as only Liverpool do, but fec me, that was quite a performance. Well in Mighty Reds.
Barnes' left foot Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 My nerves are shot. Need a couple of beers now.
Benitez Posted March 6, 2007 Author Posted March 6, 2007 and can I be the first to say fec off Barcelona fec off Rikjard you t*** thanks
Earl Hafler Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Without the ball i thought we were excellent, especially until the hour mark. With the ball, i think we created so many chances because of Barca's defence and their need to score goals but i don't think we kept possession well at all. Some of the passing was just infantile Arbeloa continues to impress.Finnan and Carra just fill me with so much pride it's not true.Xabi was excellent.Kuyt worked hard but his use of the ball was poor - dwelt on it too much.Same for Gerrard and Sissoko. A good result, especially after Saturday's heartbreak.
Gethin Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Shot to feck! Keep a bottle of Jameson Distillery Reserve for occasions like this!
Bootle Buck Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 God we made it hard for ourselves. Superb defending from everyone tonight. Oh! for a Van Nistelroy type.
Duncan Disorderly Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Oh! for a Van Nistelroy type.Not even funny! I am bereft of fingernails!But at times we were awesome!Thank all the gods for Jamie Carragher!Good on Stevie for saying if it wasn`t for him, we wouldn`t have got through.
DonRafa Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Felt tense of course, but also strangely relaxed that we'd get thru, right from the start. Doncha just love Rafa though? He really is the best
Andy-oh-six Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 nerves not too bad but quite drunk now. This policy of not having an empty glass on a european night for good luck is hitting home.
surf Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 We played them off the park. They needed to score two and we kept them quiet for 70 minutes, having far the better chances ourselves. I'm almost disappointed at losing cause they didn't do enough to win the game and it's a blot on an otherwise impeccible home record. Very proud of the lads, a hard tie to win and a still massive test after the first leg. We were by far the better team over the two games and deserved to go through. Hope we're rewarded with a favourable draw.
muleskinner Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 The 3 minutes after the scored were a bit tense but we kept playing when Barca thought we would sit back and try to hold on. The commentators on the telly make it seem worse than it is. Could have scored twice ourselves. A great result and a great performance over the tie.

I watched the Leverkussen game in the same bar and everytime i went to get drinks the bloody scored. So now i had the policy of not getting drinks during play.
