While it's true that Smicer never consistently showed his full potential at Liverpool it's a bit dissapointing for supporters to suggest that the goal in the CL final was the only thing of note that he ever did in our shirt. Often in games when we were struggling to break down the opposition he was the one to provide the spark or the killer pass. He was never much good at tackling and got injured much too often (not his fault) but he always put in the effort. I always thought he should have scored more goals for us as well - maybe if he had been played just behind the striker we would have seen a more consistent level of performance from him. Lots of other players were inconsistent as well but never got slagged off as much. I think he deserves a bit more credit than what he is given.

17 goals in the league. 28 goals total.

Its obvious that LFC are working on a limited budget so Parry has a lot of responsibility for making sure we don't get ourselves into trouble economically. He has a lot of financial juggling to do. We have still managed to spend more on players recently than any other english team except for Chelsea. Yes, we missed out on getting a right winger but I would rather see us wait than pay double what a player is worth. It shows that we are not desperate and we are no mugs. Other transfers have been conducted quickly and quitely with minimum fuss. Getting investment does seem to be taking a long time but it is absolutely vital that we get the right offer that sets up the future of the club without giving control to a third party who might put financial gain ahead of the clubs welfare. All things considered I think Parry is doing well. Its easy to speculate about these things especially when its clear that further progress needs to be made but I honestly don't fell he's done much wrong.

Don't think rafa did much wrong with the selection considering Gerrards injury. Benfica didn't threaten much for most of the game but they seemed well up for it and didn't allow us that much space to play. It was a soft goal to concede, the defence was totally asleep. I'm confident we will win at anfield but it will be difficult to progress if they score an away goal.

Amazing comeback from Leicester after being 2-0 down. Great determination to win 3-2.
