The Champions League

[Frosty Jack]

This is our priority now, while there's a mathematical chance we could still win the league, there's no reason we can't win number 6. Let's get behind the f***ing team for wednesday, they need us.

 

And please, while today is disappointing, don't imagine for one minute that your contribution to the white noise of online complaint doesn't affect the players. It just f***ing does. They read it. I posted the very same thing 2 years ago, got laughed at by some, and we made the final. Now is the time they need our support.

f*** off

[Owen1978]

We got a great chance, but riles me that all of a sudden on wednesday every player will be on there game!

[McBain]

We'll probably beat them

 

Which will make drawing against such utter shyte at home all the more annoying

 

Anhedonia i think they call it

[Jim D]

Wouldn't surprise me one jot if we got to at least the Semi-Finals again.

[Archangel]

I fancy our chances of success in the Champions league, I think it plays to Benitez's strengths and its a competition where we can genuinely intimidate the very best of Europe. Despite their win at the weekend I think Madrid are a bit rattled by this tie judging from the bulls*** coming from some of their players.

 

The home game at Anfield will decide the tie and they know it

[Paul_LFC]

I fear the player's confidence will be on the floor after today's result.

[Jimi Rojo]

Madrid are playing really well at the moment and full of confidence and goals. We need to get them back to Anfield without having blown it.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

The European Cup

[Falconhoof]

We are in with a shout of winning this if we get past Madrid.

Its the biggest club competition in the world, in case anyone needed reminding. The Premier League is what we all want because we are hung up on it but its not as special as the European Cup.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

It is. It's just different

[Frosty Jack]

f*** off

 

precisely.

[Sion]

According to Trevor Francis we'll have a better chance of qualifying if Gerrard is fit...

And he gets paid for this analysis

Don't think Gerrard's absence will be as significant on Wednesday as it was yesterday. We definitely need Alonso back, though.

[Frosty Jack]

Just off to Madrid now, perfect timing as the hun are coming into Milan in droves. Forza Inter!

I know this is bizarre when we are about to face Real Madrid (and potentially without Gerrard) but I often worry about us (players and supporters) becoming over-confident and complacent about Europe given our track record under Rafa. These ties can turn in an instant and on small details. It only needs a sloppy first 20 minutes from us and then its a real uphill battle.

Indeed, 2 nights prep too, i'm leaving 8am thurs though

Sheesh man, have some optimism for just a few days! Chez Milne must need some cheeriness!

really?

 

I'll be chuffed as f*ck myself.

Same here.

 

Going to be very, very hard this. Feel we need to score in Madrid. Ramos will know enough to have a very good stab at keeping us out at Anfield.

[Stevie H]

ramos has got them playing again and apparently diarra's made a big difference. i think we'll need to score there too and it's set up for torres.

[Bailo]

What team can we expect from them tomorrow?

 

Cassilas

 

Ramos---Cannavaro(?)---?-----Heinze(?)

 

Robben----Diarra-----Guti-------Sneijder

 

------------VdV(?)--------------------------

--------------------Higuain(?)

 

 

Really don't know their team anymore!

[Hieronymus Bosch]

Raul, surely?

Raul will play, I think VDV is prefered to sneijder, Robben will play, and guti will play with Diarra

 

pepe at the back with Cannavaro

 

Gago should play as well

 

might play mohamdu diarra
