0-2 Full Time

Carragher 7.8

Through to the semifinals. It took along time to come through the Palace defense. We had to wait till the last five minutes, when Carragher magically scored on a corner. He now has two goals this season. And Damiao just shot us through to the next round. Played a young team and I like what I see. This may be many future starts. And now, we're going to Germany. Wish us luck.

Next match: Bayern München (A) | Champions League Knockout Round leg 2

Nice win, what was the average age?

Injury update:

Cavani 2-3 days (lucky there, Cavani has got injured in two FA Cup games, shall I stop playing him there?)


Leiva 1-2 Weeks "strained ancle"

Gerrard needs rest (lack of stamina makes him get subbed alot)

Damiao 8.0

Oh, what a joy. A great victory at Anfield. The only shred in the joy the away goal München managed to grab with ten men. Badstuber did a two footer and got sent of fairly. Agger headed in the leader after three minutes and it was well deserved. We shouldve won more. Cause we had two shots in the aluminium and lots blocked. A great win and the partnership with Cavani and Damiao keeps blossoming. Next up is the chance for silverware. Carling Cup Finale!

Next match: Cardiff (N) | Carling Cup Finale

About this one. What a great win. A win over Bayern make take you pretty far yes

#44538 mdlp1991 : Nice win, what was the average age?

It was 22.5, Carragher with his 35 years of age brought it up. The other two over 22 was Cavani and Di Maria. Wouldve played Sterling instead of Di Maria but he was at 75% fit.

I've been lucky with having him free from injuries. A tough call. He could win you the title but loosing him could be devastating in CL or title race. Could be a bad sign. Id probably chicken out and rest him those game or having him on bench if needed

Indeed. At Anfield against big foreign teams it seems we does alot better than big teams in Premier League. Im not sure why, but I dont mind the success in the first match. Gives me hope to go atleast one leg longer than my season goal. Ive met two of my goals already. Silverware and come to the knockout leg. Im just hoping for a good end of the season.

Thinking the same to. Let Suarez and Damiao get the FA Cup Semifinale and just save Cavani. I do not like to be chicken but its Cavani we're talking about.

England 5, Germany 2, Liverpools is number one. This was a great match, we actually was better than them on the statistics but I was real scared when they went up 2-1. Then I was sure it was a loos. But the half time pep talk saved us. Gerrard came out like a hero and shot us to a tie. We have beaten Bayern on aggregate! That victory on Anfield was a life saver. And a good match at Allianz Arena did wonders. Now who will we meet the next round.

Next match: Sunderland (H) | Premier League

FA Cup Semifinal Draw:
A game I most likely will send a team of youngsters and reserves. We shouldnt be able to lose this.
Liverpool - Derby (N)

Champions League Quarter Final Draw:
We're meeting City away, a draw I dont like. We have struggled with those bastards all season and the last one. But we have them at Anfield for the second leg.



Champions League Semi Final Draw:

International News:

I forgot to tell you but a few weeks ago I applied for a International job as manager for my national team Norway. As Egil Drillo Olsen got sacked.
This week I got the response:

We're sorry to inform you that you were not chosen to lead Norway.

A small nick in my armor as I wouldve loved to have the chance to lead Norway to something.

Rodriguez 9.2

Straight from the kick of we charged them, Rodriguez got the ball dribled a defender and put it nicely down by the post. That was the beginning of an offensive adventure from the hosts. Even though it took us nearly an hour to get the next goal we were never threathened. Sunderland had only one on top and our defenders didnt need to eve focus to handle them. A Cavani show in the second half topped a magnificent game. And it was nice to see the boys give the audience a performance like this after the great game in Germany. Is this the start of a new winning streak.

Next match: West Ham (A) | Premier League

Injury

Daniel Agger out for 9-11 days, a small hamstring.

Would be great with two English teams in the Final ... with you on the other side of the pitch!

Give Scandinavia something to proud of! I failed, You succeed now!
