Got a bit heated between Souness and Dunphy all right with Souness getting a touch racialist, and Dunphy almost about to pull the PC card but Billo calmed them down.

Benitez is collecting some ammount of European scalps at Liverpool...all in five years.

Barcelona
Real Madrid
Chelsea x2
Arsenal
Juventus
AC Milan
Inter Milan

MementoMori · 10-03-2009 09:55PM

Dunphy dodging like crazy when Billo asks him if he could see Liverpool winning the CL.

Cracking performance to be honest. As much as it grates to say, Liverpool looked top class and very formidable opponents for anyone (in Europe). Pity this high will be spanked out of them on Saturday at noon.

Exactly, and how many times after that do we hear 'Liverpool only won because Barca/Madrid/whoever, didn't show up.' Liverpool are the best in Europe at stopping others from playing their natural game and dictating the tempo, pace and style of the game.

podge018 · 10-03-2009 09:57PM

Why does Giles always emphasise the 'no score draw' like it's something brilliant, near on a win? Baffling.

Why do you moan after a great win like that? Why not just enjoy the afterglow and not worry about somebody talking nonsense. I'm sure all the headlines tomorrow will be about a magnificent Liverpool performance and not a bad Real Madrid performance. Well except in Madrid I suppose.

Yes because Liverpool have been "spanked" by all the top teams this season...including United at Anfield earlier in the season....oh wait!!!!!

redout · 10-03-2009 10:05PM

Spanish press are leading with "Defeated, humiliated and whooped !"

Hehe delighted for them.

By gad you're right. They're on Redcafe consoling each other then saying it means nothing on Saturday.

Which is true of course.

Every player getting in the oppositions face isn't tactics. It's your starting point. They should be doing that every week as every top team does.

We nearly always do, it's how we use it against 10 men at the back that is the problem.

Yep, we don't fear any European sides. Knew we'd beat Real, predicted 2-2 on away goals, but I'll take 5-0.:pac:

Real came to win. This is were Rafa excels, he always gets it right in situations like that. Barca, Chelsea, Arsenal, Real, the list goes on.

It's when Stoke or Hull come happy with a 0-0 or 0-1 defeat that we struggle.

ok, this is the second time i have seen that posted in this thread so i must ask, if you truly are the best in Europe for the last 5 years, why have you not won it each year? if you dont allow the other teams to play and dicate the play and pace and blah blah, how come you have been beaten by teams? you hardly controlled the games so much you beat yourselves cause it didnt feel like a challenege anymore or something?

Spud83 · 10-03-2009 10:14PM

Jesus lads anyone would think yas want the trolls to turn up.

Ifs yas keep insisting on in it I may just provide it.

x in the city · 10-03-2009 10:17PM

Souness was talking utter rubbish to be honest.
Basically saying foreign players are lazy and dishonest and not up for it like the 'British' boys.
And how many British players on the pitch tonight ? 2 .:rolleyes:
Also I like how Billo was lamenting the decline in the Spanish league .
They only have one team through to the last 8 and 2 more with good chances of going through.
Do these apes watch any league bar the Premiership ?

We all know who they are talking about. Its a minority, just a loud minority.

I do agree that effectively calling them out is stupid though.

Winning a 5 in a row is expecting a lot, even out of Rafa.

I think he meant British teams and not players.

Mental Mickey · 10-03-2009 10:21PM

My Gawd, Real were rubbish!! They hardly had a shot on goal!!?? Good win for the 'Pool. Now, if only we can beat the Manc's on Saturday afternoon....?

+1

i honestly think he was talking about the cultures but he just phrased it wrong, he tried to go back a bit by saying the fans here demand it and yada yada, but i dont think he meant foreigners are lazier, i think he just meant, the mentality of the english game is, well, better i guess, for want of a better word

Podge2k7 · 10-03-2009 10:21PM

Im fcuking delighted with the win:DHopefully the same happens this weekend!!:cool:
