Liverpool 2010/11 Season Thread

To be honest Inter are usually quite poor in the champions league so it was no shock for me or anything. Ac milan are the big CL team.

yeah, but this season, being in such excellent form, confidence flying, I expected hard times. Especially seeing how low our confidence may have been with dark clouds lingering over Anfield.

Stop trying to take the shine off it!

[Pilotwings]

Yeah it was a really good result like No doubt about it

[rmoxon]

I'm glad that we won and that we beat the top team in Serie A again. The thing I am most pleased about is that some people think the sending off was dubious so everyone can complain about how lucky Liverpool are.

Great result, very happy but then, at the same time, a little frustrated. How can we beat this Inter team (who are very very good - don't believe the gob****es that say otherwise) yet be in this position?

If Liverpool were in Seria A they would probabaly run away with the league title every year as Benitez plays very much the same style of football as they do over there and he does have world class players on his side (and alot of them).

The reason you seem to be in the position you are in to me is that he cant seem to get his head around the english game, which has far more variety to it and is far less defensive minded than somthing like the champions league... (well, in some cases)

Sounds like something I heard from a trod on hash brown in a very busy McDonalds one night whilst naked.

So you dont agree then as usual?... wait... you didnt agree when i said I couldnt see you winning much this season either did you?

Benitez clearly has problems in english comptitions, his increabley poor record against other big english club shows this, he has trouble dealing with fluent attacking football.

[hudson]

I stopped agreeing with you when you said Steven Gerrard is ****. Last week you couldn't find it in you to admit fair defeat against a very sturdy Man City. Signs of a bitter 'other' football team supporter, piping up with ramblings of a mad man lol

[rmoxon]

So in other words you dont know why you dont agree then?

And Gerrard IS ****, though I'm glad to see that he scored from open play today for the first time in about a year against someone other than luton town.....

He still dosent contribute enough for me though... course if liverpool fans are happy with him I don't know why i should complain.

[hudson]

Suck it all up, mate...and enjoy another class win in Europe for the redmen.

rmoxon...
To say that the english game has more variety than serie A is ridiculous. The premiership is a very exciting "product" but time and again is found wanting tactically. For the amount of money flowing about, english clubs should really be dominating europe. They are not. All the so called great players in the premier have not performed in int'l competiton including in a lot of cases the champions league.

Benitez does find domestic consistency difficult and we find it difficult to deal with the big strong ball up front and have done for so many years. As badly as Liverpool have played, I don't think they have been truly outplayed once this season except possibly against arsenal.

Gerrard contributes in big games, to say he does not score against teams except those like Luton is to forget his whole career.

Indeed, the way it took you 85 minutes to score against a 10 man team missing a central defender truly is class.

[On The Edge of Insanity]

I was incredibly disappointed with Inter as they seemed to set out with the idea of getting a goalless draw, playing four at the back, two usual full-backs in midfield alongside a defensive midfielder and a solid central midfielder, and then two slow strikers up front.

Materazzi's sending off was ridiculous, especially considering some of the challenges the referee didn't even issue yellow cards for as the game went on and just served to make Inter even more defensive than before.

Having said that, Liverpool didn't look at all likely to score until Crouch came on and I can't help but feel that Kuyt getting a (deflected) goal masked the fact that he was again pretty much useless for the entire game.

Thank god he turned Spurs down to join Liverpool; we bought Berbatov instead and he has proved to be MUCH better value for money.

And finally, on that performance I see no more from Ibrahimovic than I have seen in the last few years when everyone has been bigging him up and I've been left scratching my head wondering why. If performing on the big occasion is the mark of a great player then he is miles away from earning such a distinction.

[SharkSkin-Man]

Wow, so much bull**** in one thread.

Anyway - **** the doubters, **** the boo-boys, **** the 'expert' pundits, **** the journalists and **** that horrible bluenose Materazzi.

Next leg cannot come soon enough.

[DeathAdder]

After laughing at Liverpool and thinking they were bottling prima donnas at the weekend, this was a very impressive result.

[MonkeySteve]

And Gerrard IS ****, though I'm glad to see that he scored from open play today for the first time in about a year against someone other than luton town.....

Anyone who thinks Gerrard is **** knows nothing about football. It's just one of those opinions that you flail about to get a reaction.

Indeed, the way it took you 85 minutes to score against a 10 man team missing a central defender truly is class.

Good job football is played over 90 minutes then isn't it?

I don't know whether you know anything about football, but it can actually be a lot harder to play against a team with 10 men, especially when all 10 men just defend for the entire game. We were patient, and got our reward.

Having said that, Liverpool didn't look at all likely to score until Crouch came on and I can't help but feel that Kuyt getting a (deflected) goal masked the fact that he was again pretty much useless for the entire game.

What? Kuyt played really well - most of the game required him tracking back or hanging wide which he did very well. Depsite that, he still popped up in the right place at the right time to score his goal.
