Through To Semis As Expected..


11 Apr 2007 Liverpool 1-0 PSV (agg 4-0) - CL quarter-final 2nd leg

BBC - The Reds led 3-0 from the first leg and PSV's lack of adventure meant their progression was never in doubt. Reds keeper Jose Reina did have to make two smart saves from Jefferson Farfan. But PSV had Dirk Marcellis sent off for a foul on Bolo Zenden before Crouch tapped in Robbie Fowler's cross to give Liverpool a 1-0 victory on the night.



I don't want to be picky...but, I couldn't hide my disappointment that we didn't score more tonight. And I would say it's something to do with Man Utd's 7-1 win yesterday. I saw someone on the streets today wearing Man Utd's shirt and I just thought...so what, we're going to beat PSV tonight with style! The only excuse I think of for tonight's performance is that..the lads didn't want to risk as they saw how Bellamy went down. But looking at PSV, you just couldn't help wondering..how the hell they knocked out Arsenal!? They were hopeless in two legs. Okay, Gerrard and Carra weren't playing tonight, but we still got a big squad with qualities like Crouchy, Fowler, Xabi, Pennant, Riise.. So why we couldn't deliver? With Chelsea coming next, I believe the fans want to see a big performance. I got some friends saying they're worried facing Chelsea. Who don't? Even those who say..'bring on Chelsea, we're going to do them again!' Anything can happen when you're in a bad day no matter who you are. Sometimes you just need a bit of luck to win football. So everyone should be worried, but what else can you do? Just believe in our players and Rafa and show our supports all the way. Come on you Reds!! "We had dreams and songs to sing..of the glory around the fields of Anfield road...."

You are being a little picky aren't we?
It was obvious that the team didn't need the go out and "belt" PSV, just needed to contain them.
Which they did quite easily.
The hard work was done in the first leg, and this mornings performance was a professional one, and that was all that was needed.

At least Rafa didn't park a bus in front of the PSV goal like Valencia would've tried to do ...
