I think last night proved Matty and myself to be awesomely right.

I think that losing 1-0 in the away leg helped in the sense that when we scored last night we kept attacking as it was such a precarious position in that if they scored we would need two.

 

If it was 2-1 last night and we were one up - human nature would have meant we would have started to hang on as they would need two to knock us out

Excellent so a 1- 0 away loss > 2-1 away loss > 0-0 away draw

In a strange way, getting beat 1-0 away was a good thing. You know psychologically and stuff.

i thought not scoring a goal at stamford bridge put us in a commanding position psychologically. chelsea knew that they had to score at anfield.

If we could have lost 3-0 at Stamford Bridge it would have worked in our favour because Chelsea would have been tempted to sit on their lead at Anfield. As we all know, that never works for top teams, only 'lesser' teams from the lower divisions.

 

I swore when they missed a penalty as that meant their following penalty takers knew they had to score.

 

Zenden putting the first pen away put us at a psychological disadvantage, but fortunately the lads overcame that.

Only Milan got an away goal across the four games

 

Therefore losing 3-2 is better than winning 3-2. Oh yes

 

And losing the first leg is clearly a better strategy than winning it.

They didn't HAVE to score though - only if we did, of course.

 

 

Jeez, the maths get more and more difficult on this one.

I think that is when Rafa sat down - he knew it was going to be difficult, especially when Chelsea missed their first which put us in an un-enviable position.

 

Steve Nicol had the right idea in '84.

Trust Zenden to f*** it up.
