I Can't Believe This...

22 Apr 2008 Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea - CL semi-final 1st leg

BBC - John Arne Riise's injury-time own goal gave Chelsea the advantage in their Champions League semi-final - Dirk Kuyt's close-range finish three minutes before the interval looked to have secured Liverpool a slender lead. And it took fine saves from Petr Cech to deny Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres as Liverpool threatened to put the tie out of Chelsea's reach. But Riise headed in Salomon Kalou's cross five minutes into injury time to give Chelsea a priceless away goal.

WHAT A GAME!

8 Apr 2008 Liverpool 4-2 Arsenal (5-3) - CL quarter-final 2nd leg

BBC - Liverpool set up another Champions League semi-final with Chelsea after a stunning late win over Arsenal - Abou Diaby put Arsenal into an early lead but Sami Hyypia lost Phillipe Senderos to head an equaliser. Fernando Torres looked to have settled it when he scored in the top corner, until a superb Theo Walcott run allowed Emmanuel Adebayor to tap in. But Kolo Toure fouled Ryan Babel and Gerrard held his nerve from the spot, before Babel broke to add a fourth.

------------------------------------------------------
I was still shaking and felt I could hardly stand after fulltime..... The last 10 minutes of the game almost killed me. What a game, what a drama! Credits to Arsenal, honestly. I don't usually say it to other teams but Arsenal is a really good side. I thought we used up all the luck in the first leg. Anyway, sorry Arsenal and thank you, I enjoyed the last three games, let's move on. Chelsea next for Liverpool, bring it on!! All the best to Arsenal for their title race.

Unexpected Point Always Sweeter

5 Apr 2008 Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool - EPL

BBC - The Gunners made a lethargic start and fell behind to Peter Crouch's powerful finish into the bottom corner. Nicklas Bendtner levelled when he met a Cesc Fabregas free-kick and powered his header past Pepe Reina. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger urged his side forward looking for a winner but Andrei Voronin wasted two good chances to give Liverpool victory late on.
Crouchy: "I thought it was a good performance today. We had a lot of players who hadn't played a lot of football lately and when that happens it can go one of two ways. We can give up or we can show what we're made of. Of course I was pleased with my goal. It's been a while and I thought I'd be a bit rusty to be honest. It was nice to score and to remind people that I'm still alive. I felt I got into the game and really enjoyed it. I just want to play as much football as possible. It's frustrating when you're not involved in the big games but I was part of it today and hopefully I can play more games between now and the end of the season."

Lucky Reds Levelled At Half Time

2 Apr 2008 Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool - CL quarter-final 1st leg

BBC - Emmanuel Adebayor headed Arsenal in front in powerful fashion from Robin van Persie's cross after 23 minutes. Arsenal's lead lasted only three minutes before Steven Gerrard set up Dirk Kuyt to score from close range. The Gunners had a clear penalty appeal turned down after the break when Kuyt hauled back Alexander Hleb in the area.

-----------------------------------------------------------
How did we get away with a bad performance like this?? Of course I am happy with the result - a draw, an away goal, but it was a horrible display. Giving the ball away too much and looking like lazy! That's face it, we were lucky with the penalty decision and the shot by Fabregas cleared by Bendtner! Arsenal should have scored 2 or 3 at the night.

What was going on? Were they too tired after the derby on Sunday?? We certainly need a much better performance back to Anfield. It's only half time. Advantage to Liverpool? No, I don't think so. Arsenal have a good record playing at Anfield recently. If we don't come out and win it, it could easily be a nightmare for us.
