This. We're not talking about players who were at the very peak of their careers and were very much on form (Inter). These players have a few mileage in them (with the exception of their attack line). I don't see how they can hurt us on the counter either. Only Robinho and Pato would be able to...
I don't know anyone who said that Messi doesn't deserve to be in the top 3. If anything, it's Iniesta. Most people want the top three to be Xavi, Messi, and Sneijder and righteously so.
I have to agree with Carefree. Chelsea simply had to be defensive. Barca at that time were spanking every team in La Liga by a 5-6 goal margin. I mean, we are known as the most powerful offensive club in Europe (at that time most definitely and at this season I think so also) so it's no surprise...
Highly disagree. I'd much rather us facing tougher opposition in each stage so critics will have less excuses to bitch and whine. Also, we'll be better prepared for later stages and won't underestimate other teams.
I don't want to face Bayern solely because they have been our toy in CL just like how Sevilla is our toy in La Liga (constantly beating and raping them by a large margin). It would be a boring game against bayern as generally all German opposition do terribly against us. I want us to play Inter...
Got this from the Liverpool forums (wow they are good at finding some very small stuff):
Can anybody read the lips? I'm assuming Jose asked Diarra to come on and Diarra got pissed at him?
I feel the same way. Chelsea is a hell matchup for us in the CL, but it will make for quite a spectacular and a warlike two- legged drama. I can't wait until the knockout stages are drawn, I'm so damn curious to find out who Barca is facing.
Can somebody please tell me what chant the crowd was saying about Mourinho?. I could certainly pick out "mourinho" from the chant, but I'm very curious to know what the whole chant was about.
