I really don't understand some of you on here. It seems you all have NO football knowledge at times.
Wake the fuck up and realize that Liverpool dominated that game except for the first 20 minutes. Arsenal looked like they were shitting themselves out there. Liverpool closed down every single Arsenal player and controlled that damn game.
Arsenal got taken out of their game and Wenger got ass-raped tactically by Benitez. Liverpool used Kuyt very high on the right side, while also using Torres and Crouch at the same time. If you are Wenger, you have to push your wingers out wide to take advantage of the space between Kuyt and Liverpool's right back. The same goes for the other side.
Wenger didn't do anything to adapt until he put Walcott out on the pitch. That's too late!
Liverpool played with much more heart and deserved to win that second leg.
Wake the fuck up? Liverpool wouldn't have won had it been for the refing in the two legs. Ok, so one shitty call isn't even enough; we have to have the ref in the second leg make another rediculous call in the box. It isn't Wenger's fault that Kuyt used to suck the refs dick back in Holland. This was the most obvious penalty kick in the world, and Liverpool won because of this and the dive of Babel.
Adi, why are you watching the Champions League anyway? Stick to the UEFA Cup :thumbsup:
haha great call ELITE........tactical genious benitez???? hes fuckin stupid he has no idea....he runs off luck.....this was his tactic especially in the first leg.....hopefully luck helps us stop arsenals 50 chances and hopefully luck helps us score our one chance......hes all luck!
and in the prem u need more than luck to get to the top thats why he sux.....dont ever even compare arsene to rafa there in different leagues......
Hmm yes i can see wat ure talking about adi and yes i know theres tactics and yes u do make ur point well.....but arsenal had soo many chances to win it they just missed alot...story of our champions league history...but benitez did not use tactics to allow for arsenals missing of chances and on a better or lucky day wen we had our finishing boots on we coulda scored 3 or 4 in the first leg and in the second leg the same story....and in the end really the 2 major decisions were the penalties and then if u reverse them calls arsenal got the pen and liverpool didnt then arsenal would be going through.......so then who is the better tactition? i dont think tactcis decided this leg! my opinion....and i respect urs :thumbsup:haha great call ELITE........tactical genious benitez???? hes fuckin stupid he has no idea....he runs off luck.....this was his tactic especially in the first leg.....hopefully luck helps us stop arsenals 50 chances and hopefully luck helps us score our one chance......hes all luck!
and in the prem u need more than luck to get to the top thats why he sux.....dont ever even compare arsene to rafa there in different leagues......
:stupid:
Let me teach you a little bit about the game little Joe.
The Champions League is a game of tactics. There are only two legs and the manager with the better tactics wins. If you don't believe me, just look at the past winners. There is a reason why Liverpool, Milan, and Bayern have won so many cups. They don't necessarily have the better team, they simply outsmart their opposition with their manager playing as the 12th man.
I don't know how you can say Benitez is lucky when he's won two Champions League titles before this. His team was never the best in the competition, but he lets his tactics make up for that. After all, he is known as the tactical magician by so many.
As far as the Premiership is concerned, that's a whole new case. Certain teams and managers are more adapt to a cup competition while others perform better in a full league season. Inter Milan is a great example of this. Benitez is a pure tactician and does the right things when it comes to beating teams over a span of two games.
Finally ust because Arsenal plays that "beautiful" type of soccer doesn't mean it's any more effective than the football Liverpool or Juventus play. When Arsenal was at their best, their undefeated season and the few years after, they didn't do a thing in the Champions League. They couldn't even make it out of the first knock-out round to be exact. This just shows that the Champions League is not the same as the league and the way teams and managers approach it.
