As I suspected.

Well, I´m really disappointed in you guys... . I hate Benfica and you managed to lose against them last Tuesday. Wtf was up with that? Is it just me or did Benitez think he´d win easily or just played for a 0-0 draw (he left Gerrard on the bench!). The whole team seemed, to me, like they had an extremely arrogant attitude towards Benfica...that might cost you dearly, man! Don´t disappoint me again!

In fact, last few years, English teams have always had very bad luck against any Portuguese team (or coach, in the case of Maureen). Losing in the Euro 2000 and Euro 2004 championships, Benfica beating ManUre and Liverpool this year, Sporting (my team!) thrashing Newcastle and Middlesborough last year, and so on, so on...

Re: Barca vs. Chelsea!!!

we are having serious problems in front of goal this season. Put our strikers on paper - cisse, morientes, fowler, crouch and it looks impressive but put them on the pitch and they are useless. all our goals are coming from the midfield. stevie g picked up an injury in the warm up but will be ok for the weekend. Im going over to see the 2nd leg, it will be a special european night in anfield and we have it all to do but I think we can beat them if the attitude is right which it will be. In fairness to benitez he started with 4 attacking players and we controlled the game but there were too many under par performances. dont wory mate we wont disappoint you next time

Re: Barca vs. Chelsea!!!

i dont think you lot need to be too worried about the 2nd leg...

shame about sissoko, hope he recovers fully, said on bbc he may lose 20-80% of his vision in that eye

Re: Barca vs. Chelsea!!!

this was a highly exciting and entertaining match... especially the part of the match when the one guy kicked the ball to the other guy and then he kicked it to someone else who then fell down without being touched and people sang and then another guy came in and he fell with apparent life threatening injuries and people yelled till the stretcher came out and he was carted off only to come back in two minutes later.... whew! end to end action...

word from the club is encouraging about sisoko but we must wait a week before getting our hopes up.

^^ Actually caught one of the funniest things I've ever seen the other night on the footie station here in the states... It was a Chelsea vs Man U match that was being commentated by two former players (one from Chelsea and one from Man U), neither of which i remember, but had me cracking up. Not sure when it was from but it was obviously cold and rainy as hell the night the match was played and they just kept ripping on each other and the others former team... It was just like sitting in a pub with my friend Tony who's an Everton fan and listening to him ramble about drunken Duncan... funny stuff.

Re: Barca vs. Chelsea!!!

Chelsea v barca - I'm glad that Barca won, and in controversial circumstances too. Mourinho has a short memory considering Robben went down like he'd been shot against us (I'm a Liverpool fan). Even with 11 men I think Barca would have won, Messi and Ronaldinho are different gravy at the minute.

Benfica v Liverpool - didn't catch the match due to work but I'm not fussed about the 2nd leg too much. Gerrard was rested due to a slight injury and I heard we controlled the game. Shan - have faith, the strikers will come good, particularly Morientes.

Here's hoping Sissoko gets better quickly. He has been awesome for us this year. I feel sorry for Hamann (great player) because Momo is playing so well, but he'll get his chance

The return game is about to start! I guess I don´t need to tell you who I´m cheering for...let´s hope I don´t have to change my avatar in 2 hours...

Re: Barca vs. Chelsea!!!

Words cannot describe how much the Barcelona fans and Catalunya people in general irritate me.

Well I guess the best team won, it was a crappy game anyway, decided by a genius.

All in all, I´ll keep wondering what would´ve happened if the ref hadn´t made that stupid decision in the 1st game...11 vs 11 might have been a diferent story.

Caralhos fodam os catalães.
