Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings

[SKILLFULL LICK]

[QUOTE=lls8;2452838]YE!!!!!! I definitely agree with yr s/ment.......Liverpool is an "European Giant" too. Dun forget, 5 times Champion of Europe. The 3rd most successful winner of the Champion Leage. Only Real Madrid (10 times) and AC Milan (7 times) won more Champion League title than our beloved Liverpool. Liverpool is far stronger as team & superior individually compare to 2004/05 season.


Also not to forget we got ban from europe for 10 season,if not because of this we should have win more..

So which one you guys fancy ???

For sweet vengeance, of course Liverpool v Milan would be the tie I want.

However, I also agree that Sevilla would be the easiest of the lot there ... sure, I have no fear if the match is gonna be played before X'mas but the fact remains that the knock-out stage wun start until after the continental winter break in Feb. So, what form would we be in by then?

Lastly, it's also important which other major powers LFC end up together in the same half of the draw. Keeping my fingers crossed until this Fri.

FANS WANT AC MILAN IN CL
Jimmy Rice 12 December 2007

Liverpool fans want their side to be drawn against AC Milan in the Champions League second round.


A majority of supporters who posted on our message boards earlier today said they'd relish the chance to avenge last season's defeat in Athens.

Inter and Real Madrid were also popular choices, though surprisingly fans don't seem as keen on a trip to Seville.

Not one poster at the time of writing plumped for a tie against the only other team the Reds could face - Barcelona.

Here's a selection of views posted ahead of the draw on December 21:

Robbie1983 says:
Sevilla are probably the weakest out of the lot but I'm not worried about any team, to be honest. None of the group winners will want to get us, though.

Dantd says:
AC Milan, for me, because revenge is due and because their domestic form has been so poor of late.

Roadsweeper says:
Facing Barcelona is not something I'd choose now that they have Thierry Henry. Henry has a history of playing well against us and has bettered both Carragher and Agger in the past. Beating AC Milan would give the players a great feeling and it seems that they are weaker this year than last. However, they really know how to play in Europe and are still capable of beating anyone.

Em-inleam says:
We struggle against the lesser sides as we underestimate them. If we draw a big team then it would maybe be to our benefit as it'll raise our level. So, for me, it has to be AC Milan.

Vern says:
We've beaten Barcelona in the Nou Camp and held Juve to a draw on their own turf. We can beat any team in Europe on our day so let's not vote who we would like, but let's ask the five teams left who wants to play us! Bet they all so no.

Fernandothe kid says:
Either Milan or Inter. Should get flights there easy enough or a few days in Spain would be nice, too. Not really worried about who we get. After our last three games in Europe nobody will want to play us!

The12thman says:
Let's do Inter and get some long overdue revenge for Shankly's boys of '65.

NOTE: Barcelonna, Inter NEVER have good record in Europen Cup/Champions League.

TORRES: I WANT MADRID
Jimmy Rice 12 December 2007

Fernando Torres admits he'd relish the chance to face Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League. The Spaniard is a boyhood fan of Real's arch rivals, Atletico Madrid, and would love to put one over Bernd Schuster's side.

Torres said: "I hope that we draw Real Madrid, that would be a great tie. We have a chance to play a team from Spain or Italy, but playing Madrid would be really good.

"It would be better to play a Spanish side than an Italian one, although it would not be bad to meet Milan and gain some revenge for the final last season. "It can be a Spanish or Italian team. All the teams are strong and to finish second is not the best.

"But it is all the same really, as we know that the level will be very high.

"Sevilla in the Champions League have been strong and Madrid and Barcelona are teams that aspire to winning the whole competition."

WHY OUR PUNDITS ARE INCOMPETENT
Premier League Liverpool
by Killer_Silver_Bullet 11 December 2007

Bolo Zenden : "Benitez is good at eliminating the opponents' strengths and exploiting the weaknesses. The great example of that was Daniel Agger's goal in the Champions League semi-final last season.

Benitez's rotation system policy, also considers computer analysis of players' fitness".

Now you know why pundits never give us credit for winning saying the opposition just happened to play poorly! tired of these incompetent, computer and science illiterate experts and pundits drumming out the same insipid blind analysis of our tactics on MOTD.

Paul Tompkins should be the man for MOTD all the time.
How come they quiet on zonal marking?
Most of the goals we've conceded so far have been due to bad refereeing. How come we've been scoring high with rotation?
How come manure and arsenal cant cope with rotation but raffa does?

Reason is that he knows what he's doing. These are modern methods that the epl managers will one day start to copy bcoz Rafa is upgrading the game here. From our old NAIVE pass and move of the 80s (which is where arsenal's are at and therefore outdated bcoz the game is faster, mor physical and more defenive), to pass and move in dynamic balance with defensive astuteness and scientific managment(what Rafa is working on). Dont be surprised if we do the quadruple this season my fellow Mighty Reds.

Who do you want in second roundEuropean Football Liverpool
by BigKop 11 December 2007

I'm delighted we're through to the next round, even more delighted that we finish second, that means we get one of the big boys who won their group. Real, Barca, Inter, Milan and Sevilla.

I know most of the Liverpool fans would have liked if we finished on top of the group and played a runner up but not me. To show the rest of the world just how good we are we must show them by winning against the best and we are more than good enough to beat any team in europe. Liverpool have proved it in the past 2 or 3 years by beating the like of Juventus, Barca, Chelsea, Milan.

I would love a second round match against real madrid, two games with two of the most historical teams in two of the worlds best stadiums with two of the worlds best supporters against each other. now that would be a game.

Come on you reds.

YNWA.

I'm excited about the 2nd Round
European Football Liverpool
by JavierAlonso 11 December 2007

I'm always excited at the prospect of Liverpool playing one of the biggest teams and, we will be playing against one of the European giants.

I always feel that Liverpool play a lot better WHEN we they're not fancied, and they're not always great as favourites e.g. We knocked out Barcelona last year but got knocked out by Benfica the year before, but it's not just about results. I always feel that Liverpool up their game against the top sides and are less convincing against teams we're supposed to beat.

Just think, (as long as they avoid a Scottish side) while Man Utd and Chelsea get drawn against, say, Olympiakos, Rosenborg, Fernebache or Roma, Liverpool will be the ones thrust into the limelight as they play what would most likely be the tie of the round. Only problem is, if Arsenal finish 2nd in their group they may steal the limelight.

I'd like to avoid AC Milan though, more for the hype that would surround the match than anything else.


comment by I've_Been_Tackled_By_Mascherano
I'd like to avoid AC Milan to be honest. We're developing a nice little rivalry with them. I'd like to play Barcelona in all fairness, they haven't looked their sharpest as of lately and look to be scraping wins. Real Madrid or Inter will do me fine either way.

comment by skyred5
none of them, the milans, barca or madrid will want to face us over 2 legs, we fear no one in this comp. And roll on sunday, cant wait

comment by Face_laverne
Yeah it's gonna be a juicy tie no matter who we get by the sounds of it.
If I had to pick one of the big four that i would prefer us to get, it would be Real Madrid, simply because they have the weakest defence out of those. I would ignore AC Milan's poor league form because we know more than anyone else what they are capable of in the CL.

I wouldn't mind Inter either as we've hardly played them recently.

Liverpool midfielder Mohamed Sissoko has hit out at manager Rafael Benitez and hinted he could be set to leave Anfield in January.

Sissoko has been left out of the Reds' squad for their crucial UEFA Champions League showdown against Marseille at the Stade Velodrome.

The Mali international, who started his career with Auxerre, has made just one appearance in the Anfield outfit's group stage fixtures, the 1-0 home defeat by the French side.

Former Valencia player Sissoko insists he plans to hold talks with Benitez once the transfer window opens and wants to be a regular in the first-team.

Mad

He told radio station RMC: "I am really mad. The match is played in France, all my family is there and wanted to see me on the pitch.

"I respect that choice, but we will talk in January. "That is quite a long time for me to ask myself the question (about leaving). I am not attracted to play one match in five.

if i was rafa i wld let him go,recover some money n sign mash on a long term deal.

Right now most managers r fearful to be drawn against Liverpool then Rafa Benitez against them. Liverpool always plays better facing the giant than lighweight opponents during knock-out. For example, last year they were knock-out by Portuguese team.

While Sevilla look the weakest among the potential group winners, I would look forward to "Liverpool - Real Madrid Clash". That is as good as "Cup Final", the match the whole world will look forward with greatest interest. Real Madrid has far too many "galacticos" or superstars. Will be interesting to watch. I hate those ridicule comments by MU or Chelsea supporters comment abt Liverpool beating lightweight teams only. Just like last season, Liverpool beat two favorites, BARCELONA & CHELSEA,...they recived so much rave review but unfortunately stumbles on last hurdle against AC Milan.

spot on bro,very intresting indeed,nobody seems to be grumbling whenever we win.he was hammered when he took off sg,el nino n carra,now they say good tactical move,i think rafa felt his team was good enough to win at reading but things did not go our way.
