$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Permanently_Baffled', 'D')amn it , how jammy were AC milan?
Fair play they have one of the best back 4's ever, but hell they bore me to death with their style of football!
Im not a liverpool fan , but Im gutted for them all the same!!
Well donning my football pundit hat, Liverpool mistakes were in order of costliness
1: Not putting Peter Crouch on from the start, wasting all of Pennants endeavour.
2: Not punishing an ageing back 4 when you have the likes of Gerrard, Riise and Kuyt on the pitch, let alone Bellamy and Crouch on the bench
3: Playing that utter bilge Boudwijn Zenden. Any English team should NEVER have two Dutchman on the pitch at the same time.
4: Taking off Mascherano and leaving on Alonso. He should never have been icked in the first place.
Team to have lifted the Champions had it have been played
Reina
Finnan Carragher Agger Riise
Pennant Gerrard Mascherano Bellamy
Crouch
Kuyt
But hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Things that went against Liverpool
1: AC MIlan wanting revenge
2: The choice of Referee
3: Their name was on it. They get kicked out at the start of the season, then get reinstated, then get to the final.
Role on next year. Rafa knows how to take a team to the CL Final.
