BOHSBOHS

county

2-0 milan

mike65

Bah. Credit Inzaghi cos I don't know how he did that.

Mike.

Erin Go Brath

Game over. The offside trap undid Liverpool!!

PHB

Mascherano was MOM before he went off imo, and once he went off, Kaka has been given space, and what a pass. Can't see why Alonso was not taken off instead of Mascherano.

i can understand, they needed a goal and Alonso is more offensive minded! sure it leaves them more exposed but when 1-0 down you must go for it

Chardee MacDennis

another display of why liverpool need a prolific striker.

arbeloa on? why?

Paul Tergat

deserved winners - they're such a clincal team, awesome midfield, experienced quality players at the back....think Inzaghi is underestimated (myself inc) - really is a quality striker

Was only about 20 tbh

Forza Milan...

Liverpool rarely threatened even when 1 down, the better team won it by negating the negative pool.

Attractive Nun

Ooh when Gerrard had set himself for that shot with about a minute to go, I couldn't have been more sure it was going to go in. Fair play Milan anyway.

Zapp Brannigan

Fair play Milan. Dodgy 1st goal but a well deserved second goal.

So a failure of a season for LFC. Well there's always next season, I suppose...

Oh and Gerrard, hang your head in shame. Woeful showing.

Best team of the tournament won

mike65

Crouch needed to be on earlier and Zenden should'nt have started. But its all
if and buts now.

Mike.

Ardent

Ref (same ref from the Barca game at Anfield) gave us nothing again.

Benitez lost the game the minute he decided to field Zenden. Everything broke down with him in the first half when we needed to pushed home our superiority.

Mushy

Ref didnt play anywhere near enough time. Bout 20 seconds early, and thats not incl. the substitution.

Great second goal by Milan though, even though they shouldnt have been in the competition

Royale with Cheese

Shutup yet again Andy Gray. Milan may have got lucky with the first goal but Pool rarely threatened. They never looked liked winning the game.

fullstop

Sweet.....enjoyed that. Come on meeeeeellllaan:D

Chardee MacDennis

dunphy is an idiot. people need to look at Rafa?

liverpool played better (in the first half anyway and milan just sat back in the 2nd) but couldnt finish and thats it really, zenden was shocking pennant played well but couldnt cross.

whiskeyman

Damn

Was happy with the formation and team pick, but only wish he brought Crouch on earlier. Kuyt just looked too tired and wasn't playing proper target man at all (yeah, I know he got a goal, but I think they would have come back quicker).

Ah well, fair play to the Pool for getting that far. Guess Milan deserved it.

Dry your eyes... liverpool shouldn't have been in the competition. When was the last time they won a league title?

Gave Liverpool very few yellow cards you mean?

Deserved winners , best team in europe this year !! no point complaining about the time its over now.

mike65

fullstop don't troll this thread. You know the competition format.

Mike.

PHB

I don't see how you could criticise the ref, Agger and Alonso should have been booked defo in the first half but weren't.

I think the problem with Liverpool today was that Gerrard didn't perform, and the team was made around him. Because he didn't perform, and everything went through him, all his killer balls etc just didn't come off, so Liverpool gave away possession too easily. Milan had enough possession to win the game.

What has that got to do with anything?
Credit to the Milan players. deserved winners and nice gesture there.

scojones

Made a bet back in feb for 500 quid with my mate, i bet that liverpool wouldn't win. We doubled this bet last week to a grand. Delighted with the result for this fact alone.

The Muppet

Hard luck Pool. I thought they were going to make another comeback there for teh last few minutes.

I thought the team selection was wrong from the off and the substitutions were wrong too. Kewell has played very little and I would have taken alonso off instead of macherano. I think that cost pool their second goal.

Congrats Milan.

What happened Gerrard today? He really didn't perform to his usual standard.

Do you mean he gave Liverpool no cards? I wonder did Alonso actually get booked tonight - if not, I don't know how. The ref had little to do with Liverpool losing tonight; indeed had he not flagged Kaka offside when he clearly wasn't, the game might have been over sooner.

Liverpool set out their stall to try and cancel out Milan and they succeeded, but then they didn't have anything with which to score themselves. Can't blame anyone but themselves.

Milan were pretty terrible tonight but managed to produce just enough to win the game. Congrats to them.

like united shouldnt have been in the year they won it, or Milan shouldnt have been in it this year coz they were done for match fixing.
EDIT: slight bit riled there...

Ardent

Glad for Maldini...and Kaka deserves a CL winners medal.

Gutted for Mascherano and Pennant, they played out of their skins.

pepe did you watch the game? Liverpool were the attacking team and Milan just sat back. way to throw in generic post liverpool match quote.

He was on a proper stage, and found out! Remember how "great" he was in the World Cup?

tbh why dont you just p*** off.

I imagine the mods will have their work cut out tonight.

Liverpool never looked threatening enough tonight. Were by far the better side in the first half but did not make the possession pay off. Milan came out in the second half and imo wanted this game more.


Well done Milan

To be fair he was one of the better performers in a poor England team.
