The OFFICIAL Liverpool Supporters thread

[Minder]

Im getting a bit worried about Keane, he is giving us very little at the minute. Please dont anyone say he is "working his socks off", that should be a given. Hopefully when Torres comes back and he is playing up alongside him he will improve but it hasnt been great so far.

[nifan]

You said he didnt dive nifan - he did

Throwing your hands up in the air when you think youve been fouled is not a dive.
I said I didnt think it was a penalty, nor a dive.

I think we will have to agree to disagree

[imtommygunn]

That doesn't escape the fact he dived nifan. Yes there was contact but it's a contact sport.

Look at the head movement - looked like a sniper from the crowd hit him.

Looks like Tom Daly has a rival!

Gerard Cheated last night. Not the first time he has and wont be the last. Liverpool should have had 1 maybe 2 penalties before the dive but it still does not excuse cheating. And before I get jumped on I know he is not the only one that does it.

Gerard who?

[Abble]

lasts nights game was laughable from start to finish....within the first 30 seconds agger should've had a penalty for the chop down on him as he shot.....agger last night was brilliant i thought.....he was everywhere. he'll get his scoring touch back soon i'd say.
there was also the atletico handball so the fair result was at least the draw....atletico were under bombardment for 95% of this match.
referee/and his officials were a complete joke but they made the right decision in the 4th minute of injury time....the defeneder was crazy to put a tackle in on gerard, stevie flying in for the ball and both him and the ball were only going in one direction and that was for the corner....the atletico defender had no chance of getting the ball and when he knew the ball was a lost cause he clattered into stevie inside the box....that was STUPID...thats what happens...ok stevie made a slight meal of it. but it WAS A PENALTY....

looks like we're thru anyway

[stevo-08]

Never a penalty, and a very lacklustre performance all round I thought. Liverpool almost looked complacent. Kuyt was back to himself, but really, when you finish a game with a front two of Kuyt and N'Gog, it doesn't inspire confidence.

Absolutely got out of jail, and didn't deserve to.

Agree with most of that AZ, but I do think we deserved the draw. And actually if one of Keane's, Agger's (x 3) or Gerrard's efforts had gone in, I think they would have went on to win it.

Cant underestimate how important that result is - keeps the home record intact and also almost guarantees qualification to knockout stages.

ok stevie made a slight meal of it.

And the award for understatement of the year goes to................

Good point!

agger last night was brilliant i thought.....he was everywhere.

He's a centre half; he wasn't where he was needed! – Rescuing Carra!

there was also the atletico handball so the fair result was at least the draw....

They should have had 2 peno's!

atletico were under bombardment for 95% of this match.

How many saves did Franco make? – I thought Athletico looked more dangerous – in both matches.
(Might have been different if Torres was playing!)

As for the peno, the defender pulled out, Gerrard jumped at him!

Liverpool had something like 20 efforts on goal last night. Only got 5 or 6 on target or something. Others were very close though. Agger twice headed just past/over the woodwork. They dominated the game last night but like against Spurs didn't put the ball in the net.

First game Liverpool dominated the first half then Atletico the second.

They should have had 2 peno's!

Never in a million years were those penalties despite what those senile eejits on RTE say. Carra and Masch were sliding in for tackles and the ball was blasted off them. There is no way they had any control over where the ball hit them.

[corn02]

Right, if we were beat last night we would still go through so it is not a massive result.

Was not a dive, was not a penalty. Of the six 'incidents' Liverpool should have had two, Madrid none. Agger was pulled back, the Madrid player played the ball with his hand. Gerrard's was not a penalty (although Rafa was probably right that if it happened in midfield you would get a freekick and noone would complain). Carragher and Mascheranos' blocks were bal lto hand.

The worrying thing for me was the fact tha Babel. Lucas and NGog were the three subs. Our squad is still a mile off Cheslea and Man Utd.

[nifan]

Good we move from Ngog on the line in fairness, though he should have crossed instead of shooting afterwards.

[corn02]

Yes he certainly should have squared it.

Btw I always stand up for Kuyt, but he had his worst game of the season last night.

[GalwayBayBoy]

Fernando tones down his celebration.
