I watched the Liverpool vs Man City match today . Liverpool just seemed a bit too complacent , passes were too soft and off target . They were lucky to draw in my eyes and lost some valuable ground to Man U. Do they really miss Stevie G. that badly ?

yes and no. his goal scoring abilities, his Leader of Men abilities, but Xabi Alonso's passing would have won that game for us. Pool couldn't put 3 passes together.

Terrible keeping by Valdez, looked like he was about to pop it over then decided to watch it go into the net instead. Lyon played well but gave up an away goal at the end.

The Inter Manchester United game looked a lot like the Milan derby except Man U weren't suffering an ancient defensive back line and severe case of the Kaladzes. Manchester had the better of the game by far but Inter Mourinho'd what they needed from it, no away goal conceded. I think they needed more than to not concede at home but only time will tell

no idea what valdez was doing
I was pretty worried till henry scored... not the biggest henry fan, especially when he first came over, but today i was glad he was there... also thought he was going to hit his head on the post

pretty damn smooth rollout

not bad, although I think I would have gone with a foot.. but then he is Henry, and I am Pittman the Terrible.

IT would appear that Benitez is close to moving on From Anfield... according to the bookies...http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/st...ngland&cc=5901

Just one, too many yellows. Picked a bad time though, 'pool could have really used him vs man city. With him or Gerrard, they pry would have won by 3 goals.
