We kept trying to explain to them that nothing is a walkover in Europe, hence why we've only won the thing 3 times ever.
Exactly. Let's not also forget yesterday's opponents..Inter Milan who are one of the top teams in Europe. Though, one might say the same for that pub team dressed in Real Madrid shirts
,My thoughts exactly. I'm sure SAF will make sure we aren't as sloppy against Liverpool on Saturday. I thought we were the better team over the two legs, but our performance last night wasn't as good as in Milan, still we did enough. We could have easily had 4 or 5 goals last night but it just wasn't to be. After our goal in the first half, we got really sloppy and gave the ball away quite a few times but we pulled it together and were much better in the second half, I'm anxious now to see who we get in the QF's
Only 11 players can start a game.
this thread is not that black and white jas. some of us believe that we were the rightful winners. that we always seemed to have enough to beat inter. and I for one am delighted with the result. specially against a very tricky opponent. but it is also fair to say that with inter hitting the woodwork a few times that we were a bit fortunate one of them didnt go in an make it a really edgy night. I felt we were below par last night and there are a number of reasons for that. nerves with so much at stake could be one. inter stepping up and having a go coupled with ibrahimovich playing well. for whatever reason it was a great result but not a great performance. the great thing is that while playing below what we're capable of we had more than enough for inter. but I dont think its unreasonable to celebrate the result while observing that we could have played better. there was one person on here last night agreeing with exactly those sentiments while having a go at me for saying them. dont know what that was about

If you havent seen enough of the game, why can't you shut up and not bashing without full details??
FFS, we've won, and he's part of the team. Not producing my arse! Fans like you are spoiled rotten, I sometimes wonder if you know what playing football and playing sports in general is all about. Can you name one player on this planet who can perform at their top and 100% in every game? Scholes passing is always subliminal and one or two mispasses (not necessarily his fault at times) do not deserve your bashing!
who exactly are you trying to argue with. seriously this is getting tiresome. no we did not win because of luck. we were far the better team over 2 legs. we deserved the result. but we did not play well and were lucky inter did not score. if they had we would probably have had a very difficult night. so given the fact that everyone on here thinks we deserve the result. everyone on here thinks we were the better team. but that we did not play as well as we can. just who the feck exactly are you finding such issue with? we are all saying the same thing. is english your first language?
fair enough. I thought he was up against great defenders and continued to show for the ball. his movement caused problems all night til inter gave up. and when the ball was played up to him it stuck. thought he was good last night
