It's all a matter of passion...

[XabisBadFoot]

Firstly I'd like to say congrats to Benfica on a good win over 2 legs. They had a game plan last night and they stuck to it. We should all appreciate that.

 

Secondly, as a Liverpool fan for a quarter of a century now, I was appalled to see that only 4/5 players last night showed any sign of passion towards that badge and that red shirt.

 

I have stuck my head on the line recently at work to colleagues who support other teams, and defended Nando Morientes, Djibril Cisse and the like, but last night they let the fans, the club, the tradition, the folklore and the memories of last season down.

 

How they can sleep at night just strolling into games with a view to finishing them and picking up their huge paypackets, and not giving a damn.

 

Stevie G, Jamie Carra, Xabi Alonso, Harry Kewell were for me the only players who looked hurt and anxious that we were heading out.

 

Cisse was a disgrace. He came on and did absolutely NOTHING. His crossing was awful, his desire and drive was non-existent, and as for Morientes...

 

....well, I'll leave that to you.

Two players had a great laugh whilst performing the warm down, it was far more annoying, upsetting and everything else than what Lampard did with Goofy.

Kev,

 

Why don't you just name them and get it over with?

[Stevie H]

i thought cissé was one of the few who actually looked arsed second half.

my money is on Djimi and Cisse.... they always seem to be laughing and joking in warm ups..

 

Kev, think I saw you last night.... walking down the stairs of the Upper Centenary before the macth? at about 7:10 ish... think I recognised you off some of the piccies that are on here sometimes...

I still feel depressed.

I was in the office then, if it was about 6:10 ish then possibly if it was stairs between entrance 3 & 4.

If we could score goals the entire squad could have giggled throughout the entire evening because we would have been 2-0 up from the first leg and 3-0 up by half time. Passion isn't the problem. Laughing isn't the problem. Putting the little round white thing in the big net is our problem. We could have huffed and puffed with a team as fired up as Carragher on derby day all night long and we would still have not got through because we cannot perform the most basic function of football.
