Liverpool FC

Stevie Gerrard says the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge is nothing compared to Anfield.

The 2005 Semi Final was a cauldron of noise, i was lucky enough to be there that night, and had never heard anything like it, and doubt i ever will again - there is no way Chelsea (and their crappy flags they give away) can come close to that; and Stevie Gerrard said the same : "Stamford Bridge is a big stadium, but it's got nothing of the aura that Anfield has and it certainly won't intimidate us in the slightest,"

"If we have to go there and finish the job then we believe we will.  

"We need to be brave, bold and clinical and if we do that, we can start thinking of Moscow. Chelsea will be wary of us and what we’re capable of.  
"They'll have seen the Arsenal game and be in no doubt of the size of the task ahead."

nice own goal twat

1min to go and risse heads the ball in to his own net why did he not just kick the ball out of play what the fuck was he doing has not scored a goal all this season,
i think this season is over now because we have not got a good record at stamford bridge
thanks alot for all the wasters in the liverpool team who have not played well this season,roll on this summer for a fucking clear out

easy mate...i doubt he meant

easy mate...i doubt he meant it. we'll do the to888rs at stamford anyway!

GUTTED WHAT WAS RIISE THINKING OF

What was Risse thinking of, last minute kick the all into row z .
We played well tonight and should have got a result. We now have it all to do , we have to score and are more than capable of doig so. Srtel Carragher Alonso Kuyt were immense tonight We deserved better What an error from Riise, I;m gutted.

gutted

i couldnt believe riise did that as the saying goes IF IN DOUBT KICK IT OUT!!! we have it all 2 do now its advantage chelsea now and our record at stamford bridge isnt good plus there unbeaten there in 3 yrs so its a big ask we are more than capable of going there and scoring. id like 2 mention that prick john terry he's a dirty bastard! kicked torres in ribs on purpose then elbowed kuyt on purpose the twat! im hoping we can get a result at stamford bridge.

Stupid c-nt Riise!

He could well have cost us a place in the final. Cheski didn't deserve that at all and when Aurelio and Babel went off our attacking play suffered.

Riise has become a liability and will have to play at Stamford Bridge. If he has character he will score a free kick and get us through.

All we need is a 1-1 and it does to pens so it's not over. Torres and Gerrard didn't do much so should do a lot better next week.

We can do it and the fact Avram Grant is their manager gives me more hope because they don't have the same steel as they did with Mourinho.

Good to see Alonso start to show some of his old style. Aurelio will be missed badly because he has improved a lot and Riise is very poor nowadays.

5 mins

can anyone explain to me where the ref got 5 mins from tonight?

riise

what the hell was he thinking?? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG well all 2 do AGAIN NEXT WEEK all that hard work they did then he just had 2 do it didnt he couldnt he see that reina was coming 4 the ball did any1 see hicks try 2 sing the anthem?? hahahaha what a tosser youd think he would learn the words 1st hahahahaha

Never again!!!

I can only hope that the knob Riise never wears a red shirt again....after tonights dismal effort he does not deserve to wear a read shirt. Banish him to the doldrums of eglish football and sell him to Derby where he really belongs!!!

Cant Blame Riise, blame the

Cant Blame Riise, blame the ref!!

I dont understand where the 5 mins extra time came from?

30 seconds a sub?? more like a min!!

Can anyone justify the time added on????

THE REF ADDED 5 MINUTES ON BECAUSE OF DROGBA

5 MINUTES EXTRA TIME BECAUSE OF DROGBA , ALL HE DID WAS PLAY ACT AND WASTE TIME, DONT BLAME THE REF BLAME RIISE FOR BEING SUCH A FUCKING IDIOT.
EVERYBODY KNOWS YOU DONT DO ANYTHING SILLY IN THE LAST FEW MINUTES OF A GAME, ROW Z WAS WERE THAT BALL SHOULD HAVE LANDED NOT THE BACK OF OUR NEY. RIISE NEEDS SHOOTING WHAT WAS HE DOING HEADING THAT CROSS ?

WE RELLY HAVE OUR WORK CUT OUT NOW, BUT CAN STILL D IT , BUT WILL NEED TO BE ON TOP OF OU GAME. TALK ABOUT DOING THINGS THE HARD WAY AND ALL BECAUSE OF A MASSIVE MISTAKE FROM A PLAYER WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER.

Unfuckinbelievable

When did Riise last have a good game for us? i certainly can't remember, he could've done anything with that ball, the one thing he should'nt be doing is trying to head a ball thats below his fuckin' knees (useless cunt) we should have won that game 2 or 3-nil. That dirty bastard Terry needs sorting out,Stevie or Carra should nail the twat. chelski should play in trunks, the bastards do that much diving especially joe"giant-head"cole and dirty drogba. Then Faggot lampard said after the game they deserved something out of it, fuckin knob! i'm glad he played though cos he's really fuckin'shit. I think that we'll do the bastards at Stamford Bridge, I'll settle for penalties or away goals but i think we will win on the night to really piss them off. I'm not too happy with Jim "chelski" Beglin doing the commentary either, since the 1st semi in 2005 when he admitted being a chelski fan he has shown that he is biased towards them, poor show from a respected ex-pool player. At times its like listening to Andy Gray. Anyway do one you cockney twats cos were gonna do you at your place because were a far better side than you as we've shown in the three games so far this season. LFC-4-EVER!

5 Mins Extra Time???

does anyone else think the 5 mins extra time was a bit much or is it just me??

kev j's picture

to much added time

the ref is 2 blame there was never 5 mins of added time its the same as man u they always get 5 mins added on time if there losing! when there winning it only 2 mins!clyde 1874 is right about jim beglin he is a twat bein biased 2wards us u wouldnt believe he played for liverpool the way he talks about chelski all the time andy gray is the same! they must be anti biased 2wards liverpool! 4 some reason!

clyde1874's picture

kev j

the reason Andy Gray is biased towards us is that after he cheered Stevie Gs goal against Olympiakos in 2005 he got a lot of stick from the bluenoses(fans of that little club in liverpool) questioning his loyalty, since then his knives have been sharpened and ready to stick in us every chance he gets, Jim Beglin's just a Knob who should know and act better! LFC-4-EVER!

crushing blow!

What a kick in the teeth that goal was!!!1 second before the cross had been put in I was fully sure we were on our way to moscow but what a task we have on our hands now!

The added on time and Riise's judgement will take most of the criticism for the next week but I think the 4-5-1 system played a big part in our draw tonight.When you take the lead the opposition take risks to claw a goal back,defenders will push forward and pressure mounts

Bringing on Crouch would have been a very affective change in my oppinion instead of Benayoun replacing Babel which I believe gives us nothing going forward or defensively,this was a chelsea side with low self esteem,a team that were far from convincing tonight.Bringing on crouch would have changed chelseas aim from trying to equalise to concentrating on preventing a second goal

Torres desperatly lacked a strike partner tonight.We all know Torres only needs 1 chance to score a goal and in my oppinion thats what Crouch would have provided him with.When you accept 1-0 as being a good result you leave your yourself open to a confidence shattering equaliser and unfortunately that was the way things unfolded.That said it's only half time,roll on stamford bridge

Is Rafa to cautious

Thats an excellent point made by Punchy, if Rafa had brought Crouch on then chelski would have been too busy worrying about conceding a second to be trying to get an equaliser, so is Rafa just a bit too cautious at times? Look how we started the group games, once we'd messed up in the first 3 we had to go and win the next 3, so with a positive attitude we hammered the turks and the portugese and won comfortably in france, an attitude we should have going to the Bridge because lets face it chelski really aren't that good! They've got a winning mentality and ability to get something from games when they don't deserve it, but if we go there and attack them and take our chances then they wouldn't be able to live with us. LFC-4-EVER!

He's too cautious in the

He's too cautious in the league against shit teams we should go out and attack home and away, but in reality if Riise hadn't bottled it in the last second we would have got, and deserved, a clean sheet.

Clean sheets in Europe get you to finals because every team gets a handful of chances in a game. Take one chance and keep a clean sheet and you're through.

He is right to be cautious in Europe and his record shows it does work. But in the league he naturally cautious nature is to blame for us not winning enough games.

I still can't believe what Riise did because we had one foot in the final. I still think we can draw there 1-1 or, hopefully, 2-2.

clyde1874's picture

Good point, and right about

Good point, and right about the league, but when we go out to win games in Europe we normally do it comfortably with style. When the draw was made for the group stages it should have been a piece of piss Rafa's caution nearly got us knocked out, i don't doubt his ability or tactical nous or that he's the main reason we do so well in Europe, but if he went for it a bit more we would probably find it a little easier. Take tonight, we should have won by at least two, if he had put Crouch on it would have occupied them at the back and allowed us to continue to control the game. And if we killed teams off in the 1st leg imagine the experience he could give to the likes of Plessis and other youngsters in a no pressure 2nd leg, thats how to blood the younger players! LFC-4-EVER!

xtra time

no there shouldnt have been 5mins xtra it should have only been 1 or 2 who puts these xtra mins on anyway??they need sacking

extra time

well he added four minutes,3 subs would be 1.30,he would have given another minute for all the time drogba needed attending to and the rest would have been for aurelios injury.The 5th only came about because chelsea were attacking and the goal and celebrations played on for the majority of the 5th minute,its gut wrenching but i dont think the refs at fault,I thought he was very solid tonight!We didnt the defend the cross well and we conceded as a result.If we cleared it the 5 minutes wouldnt be discussed right now,we'd all be celebrating another great european triumph

julez's picture

baffled..

i too am wondering why Riise didn't just use his legs!! was sickening to see Grant n his dumb players celebrate the goal n after the match, like as if they deserved it.. they were TOTALLY outplayed, cant remember Reina havin to make a save..

the prob now is tat we're gona hav to play our lives out n get a result at the Bridge, which isn't a problem at all.. we alwiz rise to the occasion.. BUT playin our lives meanin tat extra push.. n if Stevie G gets a yellow card, he's gona be outta the finals.. this is wat i'm afraid of.. but for sure we're gona beat them.. we haven't yet this season, but we'll do it like we did assnal..

and i SERIOUSLY think Babel shud be used as a sub, when the chelsea players are tired n wobbly.. probably start wit Bennayoun.. Any updates on Aurelio? Is it bad?

eddie hit the nail on the head

all through the match i was sayin drogba was just trying to get more extra time added on and it worked. as for riise u can't realy blame him it's hard when u're left footed to trust u're right in that type of situation (believe me i've been in it) i still think we can stuff em at the bridge anyway so this time next week it won't matter.

Do you believe in 3rd time lucky

In the game we was flying high but kept putting to much people and not finishing vital chances if tht how play at the bridge were out But the Question is
Do you believe in 3rd time lucky

A kicked in the teeth right

A kicked in the teeth right at the end, but it's only half time as they say, plus come saturday our players are going to be rested while thiers will be battling utd, they are already celebrating which is a dangerous state of mind to have when there is still 90 mins and maybe more to play, we only need the one goal to start to make them nervous and thier fans restless, and i have seen nothing from chelsea last night or in recent weeks that we should be scared of, rafa will come up with the plan and the players will come up with the performance, we will just have to do it the hard way, we need a crazy night of european football as a high scoring draw will do, it was gutting to not beat them by a couple of goals at least, don't blame the ref and don't be hard on riise, because even without scoring for them we would still have had to go to bridge and perform, ties are very rarely settled after the 1st leg, they just determine what attitude you are going to have for the second, chelsea were happy after the previous two 1st legs, i know it's a different scenario this time, but just as before chelsea may discover that 90 minutes can be a long long way from the final.

shame...

i was gutted, when that own goal went in. riise,has not got a right foot, thats why he tryed to head it away. we had enough chances ,on a night when torres missed afew. i wanted crouch to play, as in the last 30 mins torres was tired. sg had a poor game, arobola was caught too many times, in the last 15 mins we played far to deep. i still reckon we have a chance at chelsea. it depends on the team , and which one rafa picks..

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL KARMA

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
KARMA KARMA KARMA

your LUCK has finally run out

what a great goal from riise lol

bye bye CL and you everton will nick 4th so no CL for u next year

Karma? We beat you fair and square you whinging prick, as for everton beating us into 4th they've got as much chance as you have of winning the league or the FA cup or the C/L or the league cup, in other words NO FUCKIN' CHANCE! you sad pathetic twat. What does lol stand for:- lose out loud, cos thats all you've done since your season disintegrated. Now fuck off onto some shit cockney site and leave us knowledgeable fans in piece, spend your summer praying that Arsene Whinger buys at least 4 good players otherwise you'll win fuck all next year aswell! P.S. An arsenal cleaner has been seen at the car boot selling silver polish, apparently there's loads going spare at the emirates, they ordered to much! LFC-4-EVER!

WE FIGHT BETTER WITH OUR BACKS TO THE WALL

Ok so they got a spawny chance in a ridiculous extra time allowance, and Riise made a piss poor judgement but you know what...

WE FIGHT BETTER WITH OUR BACKS TO THE WALL!!!

Has everyone forgot the night in Istanbul when fans walked out the stadium at half time, some swtiched off their telly's some went home from the boozer, and those of us with faith and pride stood strong and hard.. were called the SPION KOP for a reason. We fight long deep hard and fast when we go to war....

Next week at Stamford Bridge Chelsea would do well to remember that it aint over till the last whistle and we wont just lie down and die for them!!!!

MESSAGE TO ALL THE SAD ARSENAL FANS COMING ON OUR SITE

PISS OFF BACK TO THE EMIRATES AND TAKE A GUIDED TOUR OF YOUR TROPHY ROOM , IT SHOULDN'T TAKE LONG BECAUSE YOU HAVNT GOT ANY TO LOOK AT.

YOU SAD BASTARDS , STILL TRYING TO GET OVER THE SPANKING WE GAVE YOU THE OTHER WEEK, I SUPOSE WITH YOUR SEASON OVER YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO.

REMINDS ME OF THE JOKE -
POLICE WERE CALLED TO THE ARSENAL TROPHY ROOM LAST NIGHT AFTER A BREAK IN , THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A GUY WITH A ROLL OF CARPET UNDER HIS ARM.

Chelsea

The game is level at half time. There is 90 minutes to play and we have nothing to fear. I remember Bayern Munich celebrating like crazy after a draw at Anfield on the way to one of our 5 previous European Cup victories. Nobody has won anything yet and I doubt if many Cockney Chappies are booking Moscow tickets just yet !!!
Cheats never prosper - especially gobshites like Drogba.
We are due a win at the Bridge and we will get it.

otley red..

i agree last night at anfield, you could sense, the tension in the last 10 mins.we played too deep, and thoe we were better than chelsea, i don;t think we played that well. sg, and torres were not too good,i have to give it to kuyt played ok, but missed one. and torres missed 2. i still think torres needs help up front, we can play a lot better and we need to do a lot more attacking, to get at chelsea. maybey babel could be a sub, and play benny. and bring on babel when chelsea get tired. iwould like crouch to play some part.my nerves were shot to bits, at anfield. i donot know if i can go to the bridge , but i think chelsea are in for a shock...

Big Mouthed Scum Fans & Players

IN the shower this morning and i here in the street :- John Arne Riise ooh aah, i wanna know oh oh, when you'll score an own goal! a manc fan singing to a Liverpool fan, then he's there talking about us being out and them winning the Champions League,(KNOB) Then Rooney talking the other day about how them and Barca would have been a better Final, and that winning the Final will be a good tribute on the 50th anniversary of the Munich Crash.(Arrogant Prick) To here them all talk its all over they've won it, they've dismissed Barca before even playing them, and they've beaten chelski in the Final, having already dismissed us against chelski. they seem to forget one thing, this is our European Cup (C/L) and we aint gonna be giving it up that easy, we're gonna do chelski in the 2nd leg and then if the scum do reach the Final, we will get revenge for all the games we dominate against them and don't manage to win, beating them in the Final will be the end of Fergie, his pride will be shattered, he will hate it and he won't be able to handle it, so keep mouthing off you knobhead scum bastards, your still not as successful as us and you never will be! (can't catch us Fergie you twat) LFC-4-EVER!

IF EVER THERE WAS A REASON WHY WE NEEDA NEW STADIUM

If ever there was a reason why we need a new Stadium it was last night 42,000 fans , surely we would and could have got 70,000 if we had a larger Stadium. Is it any wonder we struggle to compete with the Mancs Chelski and Arse. The sooner we start on the New Stadium the better.

haha

i know its only 1st leg but u think they would score at least 1 i didnt c the match just got the scores from internet any1 c the match what was it like??
