So Liverpool did well, again it only took a few minutes of intense action to get the result.
And an early goal at Betistanbul, (^^), was perfect, so no-one can deny Benitez CL tactics.
I do wonder though, the team are not often outstanding for any length of time, and frequently under the cosh, but results go their way...as a Red I feel deservedly so, (we have tremendous spirit), but I would like to compare England's results, (before the last three appalling performances), and Liverpool's.
Eriksson was doing 'ok' before Denmark...to the extent that nobody seriously called for his head. (Now come on admit it, you criticised but didn't want him out did you? Poor James had more criticism than Sven.) Results just about came and England were on track, muddling through.
Liverpool last season? Early results showed absolutely no possibility of reaching any final...though the play was ok, results merely satisfactory, BUT also, on track in the C'sL, if not the Premiership.
Liverpool exelled and won the damn thing, and I'm still not touching ground yet, but England have faltered, and Eriksson is villafied...and to quite a degree - rightly so, but look at the whole picture as to how a few results change the entire outlook. We've all become so 'here and now' unable to see broader views...it is the same with the weather...
so many say, 'never known a summer/winter like it', but usually, (nearly all of the time), we all have!
With more facts than ever before us, we still, sometimes, can't see further than the ends of our noses.
Anyway, there are always exceptions, which is why I love this country!
