Riise was crap again tonight. First he gave away an own goal last week, then he didnt chase Drogba down for the first goal, then tried to claim offside on Anelka rather than playing to the whistle.

I think he’s gone Tony in the summer. He’s gone to shite and even at his best he was still too fond of hoofing the ball. Pity Aurelio got injured as he was finally showing his ability.

I think Rafa annoying Drogba was the biggest fuck up because after all the games he played against us he never got two goals in a game. Yet tonight he was possessed.

Our spine is fine but the full backs and wingers we need better players with quality. And Gerrard needs a position in these games where he is more involved. A free role leaves him on the periphery of the games when he’s our best player.

Kuyt, Benayoun (despite his great moment) Riise and Arbeloa were the weak links in the first 11 that we need to improve on in the summer.

I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE TORRES WAS INJURED , HE RAN OFF OK , AND EVEN IF HE WAS HE SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT ON CROUCH.

1RED1POOL YOUR 100% RIGHT PLAYERS LIKE KUYT PENNANT BENNYUN AURELIO VORONIN KEWELL RIISE ALONSO JUST ARN’T GOOD ENOUGH.
ADD BENITEZ’S NEGATIVE TACTICS AND WE FALL MILES SHORT OF A PREMIERSHIP WINNING SIDE.
UNFORTUNATELY BECAUSE OF RAFA’S SUCCESS INEUROPE , WE WLL HAVE TO WAIT ANOTHER SEASON TO SACK HIM.

WE WERE TOO NEGATIVE TONIGHT AND YET WE STILL HAD OUR CHANCES OF WINNING, IF ONLY WE HAD PLAYED TWO UP FRONT. CROUCH MUST BE PISSED OFF NOT TO HAVE GOT ON THE PITCH TONIGHT, THE GAME WAS CRYING OUT FOR HIM.

i know we didnt play well last night~we didnt perform our best ,esp for most of our best players, and therefore let chelsea enter the final…

i was so sad last night,becoz i believe all our players’ effort in the season deserve to enter the final. They worth it!!They did so well against inter milan, arsenal, as well as chelsea at the first leg~they just accidentally dropped last night, and this was enough to make them out of the champions league…

but life goes on, for all of the fans and players and the manager.let us place our hope onto next season, and keep supporting them in winning glory!!we know u guys can do well in the next season~

Im so proud of u,Liverpool~We’ll keep supporting u as u walk on.You’ll never walk alone.

i just think luck wasn’t on our side tonight. the lads gave it a good go. we lost concentration for 10mins in extra-time and it was over. we still had a chance at the end. sami should have had a pen(strange zat ze ref put ze whistle in his mouth and yet didnt blow it)and riise was unlucky last week(not zat he’s a great player)…..overall i thought we were the better side but didnt quite get the luck….. it happens sometimes……its a really bitter pill to swallow thats for sure….

on the up side this summer has to be huge for liverpool fc. we need a change in ownership and we need rafa backed 100% to go out and but a couple of attacking world beaters. i truly believe we are better than chelsea and arsenal and heres hoping that next season we challenge…..and win number 19…..certainly we need to buy more quality players but wiz zese stupid americans we cant xpect a large trnsfer kitty.on top of zat zers ze debt on ze club,again bkoz of zem.i fink zey’v given 30m to rafa only 2 please ze fans after wat zey’v done to ze club.wen i luk at ze way ze ozer clubs r going about wiz zer transfers,(ramos signing modric for 15.8m n now lukin for a swap deal-berbatov for eto’o,scums neighbours bidding 40m for ronaldinho)hpe we can get sign some world class players. . .

YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE!

CHIN UP LADS…..

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT…….WE’RE LIVERPOOL FC!!!!!

I was proud of our performance last night if the truth was known we lost the tie because of Riise mistake in the first leg, the difference between going to the bridge 1-0 up and 1-1 was huge.

Now we need to reorganise the side, we need to buy top quality players and top quality only.
We also need to clear out all of the not good enoughs.

Out must go – Kewell, Riise, Pennant, Voronin, Alonso, Crouch (if only because Rafa doesnt give him a chance),Kuyt, Carson, and Guthrie .

We then need to bring in two top quality full backs, a top class winger, and two top quality strikers.

We are still a long way away from having a premiership winning team.
But us fans deserve a premiership challenging side, we cannot keep being out of the race by Christmas, frankly that is unacceptable. Rafa needs to buy wisely, better than ever before, that means getting the checkbook out and buying big money top quality signings, no more squad players and players for the future.

Wether he can do this is the $64,000 question. Gareth Barry would make a good first signing, but players like Valencia of Wigan worry me (if his so good why is he playing for Wigan ?)Valencia is hardly World class. Benitez needs to buy top class / world class players not not good enoughs.

well our semi final luck has finnaly ran out against chelsea.
all the lads put up a good and brave performance, but i think the reason that we lost the semi was not because of last night but from the 1st leg at anfield when stevie g played the long corner in the 93rd minute instead of playing the short ball and keeping possession in the chelsea end.
i know in hindsight we all say these things but while at work at listening to it on the radio i was in disbelief at why gerrard chose to hoof it into the penalty box which then in turn led to the equalising goal.
hard luck lads and lets hope for a better run next run next season.

now zer r even some saying zat we lost bkoz of wat rafa said about drogba.wat rubbish!!The fact is that Liverpool were 20 minutes or so from penalties, this shows the closeness of the contest and over the two legs either team would have deserved their place in the final, with my biased eyes believing that, on pure football, Liverpool were probably, ever so slightly, the better team. The fact is that this tie was decided not by tactical genius of either manager, but by individual mistakes made by Risse and Hyypia.
To blame Rafa’s management for Liverpools’ loss is wide of the mark, clearly not warranted, and is a smack of disrespect.
The Drogba thing has been blown out of proportion due to his goals and the fact Chelsea won. If you are looking for reasons for Liverpool’s defeat, look no further than the normally composed and reliable Hyypia, who had a stinker last night from the moment he walked onto the pitch. I think Skrtel going off was crucial for us especially as he appeared to have the ability to contain the Chelsea forwards a lot better given his presence and pace.I’ve no complaints about the result – the result was always going to depend on individual errors. Hyypia made 2 (the penalty and allowing Kalou to skip onto his better foot) and Carragher played Anelka onside in the build up to Drogba’s 2nd. Chelsea made mistakes too, but they were in less dangerous areas, and when they WERE in dangerous areas, Liverpool didn’t make the most of it.

PS Drogba’s celebration after his goal showed that he does not have an ounce of dignity or grace, and highlights yet again why i hate him with such frightening intensity! The sooner he leaves the better for everyone!
