DIrk kuyt played excellently out of position he should play there more often.

As for the babel, pennant switch it was a very good one because although babel was playing extremely well he wasnt using the flanks as well as pennant was with his superb crossing. Lucas did a good job and is getting good exposure to the champions league, but he should rather bring him of the bench and play gerrard in the center.

My starting line up for the san siro will be

Reina, finnan,carragher,skrtel,benayoun,gerrard,mascherano,pennant, torres, and crouch

Subs: Lucas, Kuyt,Itandje, Babel,Alonso,Hyypia

If rafa needs to turn on the pace bring on Babel..and later once secured bring on lucas to apply pressure at the end

If the strking patrnerships not going well then bring on Kuyt

But i have a very good feeling Benitez will start Kuyt with torres

There was nobody else to play the second holding role other than Lucas. Please recall Alonso still has the gash on his head from the Barnsley match.

Unlike you, I felt Babel didn’t contribute very much. His trickery was clever and all, but I couldn’t remember any meaningful cross or pass from him to another Liverpool player all the time he was on the pitch.

Peanut may be awful in people’s eyes, but his two meaningful passes resulted in the goals. P.S. he kept the ball and passed to Gerrard for his goal.

As for Kuyt, give the man a break. He has been totally headless, but I put it down to him losing his father and he wasn’t able to get it out of his system. Sure, kick a man when he’s lost his life’s anchor, why don’t you?

Ohhhh, I’m sorry. I thought the objective of the game was to score goals. Silly me. We should just leave players on who are playing well – but not scoring goals. Players who come in or are playing “out of position”, but score goals are doing it all wrong. They should stop doing that. It would be a lot better if we just tie or lose the game and Rafa should leave them well enough alone.

You sure told Rafa the correct way of running a team. Thank you.

Very strong statement that. Disagree. Upsets compared, European football is a totally different kettle of fish to the FA Cup.
I think Oby needs to realise that it might be as big an upset to the press, that Inter getting beat by a Liverpool side who have under performed lately. But it’s not an upset for me. No chance. I know a lot of our players can perform the way they did against Inter. They just haven’t displayed it for a while when we come up against teams that on paper, we should beat.

We may not be good enough to compete for the league in all honesty, but we’re better than we’ve shown ourselves to be lately. People should remember that and not concede defeat before it’s already come!
