Ahhhhhhhhhhh...excatly how I felt. To be fair, I would have taken a point before KO and certainly when they scored...but the way the match panned out, I really wanted Benetiz to be more positive and go for it. Should have kept Keane on, pushed Kuyt along side him and sacrificied Lucas who played well, but we needed to be attacking and putting them under siege after Adabyor's sending off. Really disappointed with the draw, but then again, WE ARE TOP STILL and have not lost to any of the other big four this season despite playing 2/3 matches away.

Same here!

You must have high standards! She has pulse and she is breathing...isn't that enough!

"when i think of Jamie Carragher it'll be him getting cramp, telling dudek to do the spaghetti legs and the picture of that embrace in istanbul - not seven (and counting) own goals." Well said!

Ok, so we dropped points at home this season, and so have Chelsea. We have not won games, that we should have won, and so have Chelsea and Man U We are top of the league (still, if I may remind all the whingers), and even if Chelsea win tomorrow, they are only 1 point ahead of us. All of this with over 60% of the games without Torres. We are always better finishers than starters. So stop whinging, enjoy it, and get behind the team and the manager. It is a great season so far, and every supporter would have taken this position at the start of the season.

Last couple of home matches, many have said that they expected 3 or 4 goals for us, and I never had that feeling. But today, for some reason, I think everything will click into gear. Keane will score, and will be 3 or 4-1 to us. I think Hull's game is suited to our style.

It is amazing our transformation under Rafa. In the 3 years that he has been in charge, we are now probably the club to avid in Europe by any European team! Looking at tonights group winners, we have the highest number of points. And like it has been said on this thread, regardless of who we get, We will be favourite. My preference would be: 1. Real: Have not played them in ages and would love Rafa to get one over them 2. Bayern so Rafa can teach Klinsmann a thing or 2 about football 3. Inter: not that I care about Morinho, but I just don't want him progressing any further

I always liked him. Technically and his attitude are always spot on. However, he will always do better in a European game due to time and space, which you don't get in the PL. I think if he strengthens physically and plays the ball quicker, can be a real asset to us in the future. Very impressed with him tonight.

Looks like Lucas will win this one by a country mile! I will go with that as well: Lucas Keane Babel

What I learned from today's game: Still don't like Kuyt leading the line despite a workholic performance again. Yossi will never learn to shoot and be more direct despite his goal We need a fox in the box type of player as cover and support for Torres (e.g.Owen), but Benetiz will never go for that! I can always rely on Benetiz's substituitions to set my watch, 62 minutes and recheck again at 78 minutes! And finally, whatever we think and say on this forum, "In Rafa we should Trust" afterall, we are TOP OF THE LEAGUE

Sami Xabi Arbeloa and well done Insua

Gerrard Carragher Reina

May be they should emply Duncan Ferguson. Didn't he catch a burgular in his house and tied him until the police arrived (and apparently this was the second time he has done this!) Or may be a statue of Gary Neville as scarecrow on every players house.

Agree and people should remeber that after only 1/3 of a season, we are almost half of our point tally last season! We have not hit top form, we are joint top, Torres to come back, Keane to hit form.....It has been amazing!

Law 12: Offences, Fouls and Misconduct: Fouls against goal keepr: "It is an offence to restrict the movement of the goalkeeper by unfairly impeding him, e.g. at the taking of a corner kick" ...page 113 of the rule. F*** off Andy Gray

same for me

And Ramos won it last year and he lost his job soon after!

Xabi Lucas Babel

Agree...but I can't see it. For some reason Rafa does not like Owne (not sure if personality or style)! But we should. Still best goal poacher in the league when he is fit or not

chelsea out!
