CL: Arsenal v Liverpool [P] + [R]

[VG]

I knew Liverpool were gonna win and now its an easy game for us against chelsea who aren't really all that great at scoring goals imo.  ALso we'll just win with one of our special chelsea "goals" that the referees seem begging to give us  :thumbsup: :cheers: :3some:

Walcott's run was amazing, but the penalty ruined it, which sucks.

Liverpool will probably beat Chelsea, they look strong.

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.

finally someone with some common sense, arsenal just can't handle a physical game, thats why benitez played crouch up top. look at why arsenal always find games against Bolton hard.

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......

So you are blaming the referee for the loss.  :nopity:

I don't think you can clearly say Babel wasn't fouled. He was going at full speed and the defenders got in his way and threw him off balance. The call could have gone either way.

Arsenal did nothing in the second leg to try and win the game. They looked half dead throughout the night, and Fabregas looked more like a ballerina out there than a playmaker. Thank God Babel smoked him right at the end.

All I'm going to say is that Liverpool played better than Arsenal in that second game. That was my whole arguement. They deserved to win the match and they rightfully did so. When you play so well, things then to go your way.

Adi, why are you watching the Champions League anyway? Stick to the UEFA Cup :thumbsup:

Nice one. We did have a hell of a game though. Maybe you should watch the re-play of Bayern vs Getafe. It was one of those games that only happen every 10 years or so.

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.
