Dreadful. We couldn't beat WBA on this form. We miss Gerrard. We suffer when playing the first 80 minutes with half a striker on the pitch. We should be forced to give this trophy to charity. Give it to those poor bastards at Darlington or something. At least they would have worked for it . . .
CI-SSE CI-SSE CI-SSE!!!! I'm soo happy for him! I want Owen back, but I would've never been mean enough to sing "There's only one Michael Owen" before Cisse came on, like I heard a lot of the crowd doing, shame on those who did.
First Extra-time ended. 105' Liverpool up 2-1. I heard them singing that too. Cisse must have taken motivation from it
Rafa's probably going to insist something absurd because of this. "Why would we want Owen when Cisse is the better player?" Why can't Cisse put it in with his knee, first touch like Drogba?
Your shape has been good and you've controlled most of the match. You couldn't buy a goal before Cisse came on though. Garcia has been a bit pants in tha game too methinks. Do you normally start Hamann alongside Gerrard still? Ooooh, nearly a CSKA goal. Chipped over the defence but fluffed the shot into Reina's hands.
You lot make sure to check out this thread and respond to my comments: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=236921 Note that I made them before Cisse got on the field today.
Under 4 mins remain. 3-1 L'pool. Cisse on the scoresheet twice and set up a goal for Luis Garcia. Garcia did well to get in unmarked good run. tick tock.
Doesn't matter that it wasn't intentional, punching the ball over the goalkeeper should not be allowed to stand. It's handball, it gained material advantage, - the non-intentional element would only save him from a booking. Liverpool are cheating their way to another trophy....figures..
Alright then, take that goal off and Liverpool win 2-1. Everyone's happy. It looks like you do need Owen back though.
bravo Liverpool. bravo cissé. keep it up for France too against Ireland. We'll be sure to sing "there's only one trezeguet!"
