Liverpool 2008/09

and agger weighs in with a 30 yd screamer

Liverpool couldnā€™t have asked for an easier return to action. Blackburn looked totally out of their depth from the start and a touch of class from Torres got the ball rolling again. Itā€™s days like this you can really see how much the team has came on this year. No huff and puff, just comfortably took blackburn apart with no drama. Obviously itā€™s a shame they couldnā€™t have played like this in January but should they take this form forward they will no doubt have a big say in the league next year as well.

Anyone know if thereā€™s any tv coverage of the hillsborough commemorations wednesday night?

By the way weā€™re 30/1 to beat Chelsea 3-0 and 10/1 to go through. Probably as unlikely as the odds suggest but who knows, after Istanbul you couldnā€™t rule anything out.

Getting close now. Would rank right up there as one of our greatest European nights if they pull it off. Hereā€™s one from the archives:

there will be a collective sigh of relief from the people of Italy if those animals get knocked out tonight

No Italian teams left cornflake.

Why? not as if thereā€™s any chance of Italian clubs meeting them this year.

That video above that WTB posted is shiver down the spine stuff in fairness and Iā€™m not a Liverpool fan. Real Chelsea have no tradition feeling to it, although nice touch at the end by Mourinho as he comes off clapping the fans.
Hard to believe Gerrard wanted to leave after that though.

There has been some strange comments from TFK regulars today. Anyone one for the idiotic pile.

I guess heā€™s referring to the final being on in Rome. NCC?

Funny vox pop clip just there on Sky Sports news.
Fella interviewing Chelsea fans outside Stamford Bridge. They were all giving it the ā€˜yeah man Chewsea to win free-niwā€™ and all the usual guff.
The last fella on was a coloured London gentleman with all the patter that entails. He seemed to have an subconscious habit of saying ā€˜what time is it?ā€™ as a kind of exclamation mark at the end of his sentences, as in 'Gerrard ainā€™t gonna do nuffin man, what time is it? Michael Essienā€™s gonna do 'is Essien fing on ā€˜im, what time is it?ā€™
The smart arse reporter then asks him at the end of his spiel. ā€˜What time is it anyway?ā€™. Yer man obviously hadnā€™t a clue what he meant and said 'What time is kick off?? and started looking at his watch ā€˜itā€™s about half three manā€™.
You probably had to be there.

Iā€™d say Mourinho was much more impressed by Celticā€™s version of it YNWA in Seville. Much more impressive than that one imo.

Take your pick

BENITEZ WON`T DITCH ZONAL MARKING

Chelsea 6/4, Draw 2/1, Liverpool 2/1

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has no intention of changing the zonal marking system that many have blamed for their Champions League defeat to Chelsea last week.

The clubs meet again on Tuesday night in a quarter-final second leg, with Chelsea seemingly in an unassailable position with a 3-1 lead.

In the first match Liverpool conceded two goals from corners when Branislav Ivanovic produced a pair of towering headers, as the Anfield menā€™s defensive play at set-pieces fell apart.

Benitez said: "We feel we can handle Chelsea in the air. There was a lot of talk last week about our zonal marking system but all the top clubs have conceded about the same from set-pieces this season, it is not just the system that matters.

"And we scored a fine goal from a set-piece on Saturday against Blackburn, and they use man marking. Then I watched Aston Villa play Everton on Sunday and there were six goals and both sides use man marking.

"We are happy with the way we defend, it is all about the quality of players in the end. Zonal marking has been good for us in the past, and it will be good for the future.

ā€œIt depends on the type of player you have. We have used it for five years here and we have not conceded any more than anyone else from set-pieces.ā€

gerrard isnt playing

Just heard.

I just heard heā€™s definitely in the team?
