I wouldnt be too hard on Wenger, i dont think Benitez or Whiskeynose would have been too gracious after suffering a defeat like that either. Walcott is lightning quick but Mascherano was close to catching until he fell on his hole.......

Close, but not close enough!

I dont think too many have mentioned his name here yet, but what about Sami Hyypia. Talk about a player who always delivers in big matches!!! Yes, he's 34 and has lost a few yards of pace but he makes up for that with guts & heart. Nearly 450 appearances for the club and 3 CL q-final goals   Has also scored lge goals against man u & arsenal down through the years and was one of the very few Liverpool players to turn up v man utd in anfield last december.

will always be a Liverpool legend.

Hyypia has been some servant to Liverpool and has still alot to offer.

High praise indeed

God, I know Liverpool fans have a reputation for whining but this is ridoculous from Arsenal fans.

Yes, they should have had a penalty last week but the ref didn't cause Bendtner not to move out of the way and wanted the glory for himself and the ref last night did not stop Adebayor have the miss of the season!!
Also the ref is not to blame for not bringing in a few experienced players to help and cover for the season meaning that Gilberto had to play and was out of his depth.

Babel was going at speed into the box, any touch at all and you are risking a penalty, that's the way it is.

Arsenal had chances in both legs, didn't take them and got punished, that's football and I think the Arsenal manager and fans need to show the class on the field now off the field and lose with grace.

Or should I bring up that the penalty not given last week was over shadowed by Wenger seeing the incident!!

Oh Sami is a legend and Torres too.

Torres goes missing again in a big game  Sendoras the victim this time

something again very noticeable watching last nights game (and I was reminded of it from the posts about wenger on the brady v dunphy thread). How the hell does rafa stay so calm when Liverpool score??? I dont know any other manager who reacts like rafa does. He just puts the head down and scribbles some notes!!!

A mate of mine made the same point during the Inter match. Kuyt scores the crucial first goal, everyone in the stadium goes ballistic except for rafa who writes a few notes. My mate reckoned he was writing something like: "Note: At next training, tell Dirk to hit the ball into the ground more often!"

I dont think i have ever seen him celebrating during a game, i suppose if you are a Martin O Neill type character jumping about like a halfwit it is hard to remain and focused as you cant really watch the match as a fan.

A mate of mine always says when he sees Rafa scribbling in his notebook "there he is getting the pizza order ready again. One ham and pineapple. One tomato and mozzarella. No anchovies". Never fails to crack me up.
