Mullah_Owen Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 http://sport.independent.co.uk/football/eu...icle2562707.ece I particularly like this bit: "Benitez used a different strategy for each of the two semi-finals against Chelsea, neither conspicuously successful. At Stamford Bridge, Craig Bellamy was so ineffective alongside Dirk Kuyt that the game was crying out for Peter Crouch long before he was sent on. But Crouch's inclusion at Anfield demanded the inclusion of Jermaine Pennant to supply some crosses, and the winger did not justify his place either, certainly not with Alonso left out. So Boudewijn Zenden, surprisingly picked for both games, could retain his place on the left, offering the benefit of John Arne Riise at left-back. Remarkably, Kewell, who was booed by his own supporters in Istanbul, is suddenly back in contention, as a substitute at least." Didnt we win the second leg?
hideNseek Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 Well I'd rather they say we don't stand a chance than we're favourites.
genghis Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 It's amazing isn't it? With such a clueless dummy as Rafa in charge somehow we keep stumbling blindly into Champions League finals - the luck of the man!
