Only thing that annoyed me tonight

[Guest GrandpaSimpson]

Not their offside goal, pen we didn't get

 

It was Rafa taking Torres off.

 

 

Why?

[Swipe]

As i've said in match thread, Rafa will apparently be clearing it up in his interview after the break..

[Guest Raisbeck]

Im sure the question will be answered when Rafa does his post-match.

"problems with his hamstring"

"problems with his hamstring"

 

fair enough then, Babel is a more than able sub and if youre injured, youre injured.

Not according to Richard Keys though.

 

He'd rather have another dig

[Billy Dane]

What annoyed me was bringing on the waste of space that is Pennant and leaving Crouch on the bench (again).

[Guest GrandpaSimpson]

Hamstring?

 

Well that was unfortunate....

Yeah, Keays thought he should have left him on,after all what was he saving him for? Yes Richard let's just knacker his hamstring, you complete buffoon.

bizarre

 

crouch was obvious sub

surprised keys and gray have got time to talk, there are people lining up to suck them both off in the other thread.

I wonder how effective Crouch would have been given the ref calling everything where the challenge was slightly off the ground.

 

Having to bring Skrtel off limited Rafa's options, Having said that I still wonder why Pennant before Babel.

[lfc003]

another thing Lampard made one contribution to the game ie. the pen so stop kissing his ass sky

[MFletcher]

Bringing on Crouch would have necessitated a change in formation, as Torres wasn't injured at that point and we were bring off Benayoun.

 

Skrtel's injury limited us, because it become two from three rather than all three coming on.

[Gilps]

Wasn't his pass for the first goal then?

[Guest Anders Honoré]

pennant???? why??

 

he's been boss in the last two league games. rewarded for it, same way crouch was against Arsenal.

 

Would have preferred Babel to come on at that point, but I can see the merit for putting on pennant. been good lately.

 

In hindsight, babel showed that even in flashes he is on another level though.

Is correct...the question was who to bring on first, Pennant or Babel....mind you...I'm not sure I believe that Torres was injured but I support Rafa whatever. p.s. Hicks out!

Awwwww, you poor thing

 

What annoyed me was Riise's own goal, his second leg performance, and Sami's cheap penalty

[Guest Sabre]

What annoyed me was two blatant pens not given to us. The Makalele handball and the Hyypia incident at their end. Ah well, I feel surprisingly ok about this. Would have hated a final against the Mancs.

[floyd]

Nice to hear Andy Gray wishing Lampard luck when taking that penalty.

Cvnts, both of them

[Duncan Disorderly]

pennant???? why??

Shop!

 

Service please?!

[Bromage]

I went to the game so I haven't seen anything of the TV coverage so far.

 

What really annoyed me is;

 

1. The Liverpool fans who decided to leave after Chelsea's 3rd goal. My consolation was that they missed Babel's cracker!!

2. The Chelsea fans who even after we applauded their team and supporters after the 3rd goal, they still sung about our "crap support" and "murderers". Just shows you how bitter they still are about the two previous semis.

3. People criticising Rafa on here today. His tactics in the 2nd half were magnificent and almost won us the game.

 

There were so many "if onlys" last night but I came away feeling proud of my team and utter contempt for the Chelsea fans, who mistakenly believe this will last for ever.

[Andy @ Allerton]

I'm annoyed they left Gerrard on. Like the first leg he was a waste of space.
