You can have style, panache, the manager, the players, the fans even, but it is all about who turns up on the night or day, spiritually and mentally as well as physically. Chelsea had a 1-0 lead and blew it and all they wanted was one goal. Mighty two times champions and League cup winners riding high up the table, expected to beat Liverpool and exact revenge, failed. We had the nerves and they did not and clearly we were the better side.<BR/><BR/>That aside, all you need as a team is one more goal than the opposition. It doesnt matter how you get it, once you achieve it you have won. Simple. Teams have played other teams off the pitch but have ended up losing. Look at Man Utd at Milan, comatose, rabbits in headlights. Not the Utd who just won the title and have been getting results, lucky or otherwise. You either want to entertain or win the game, the two dont necessarily go together.<BR/><BR/><BR/>RedsMan.RedsManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923304485729362373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24714844.post-72117856063616729102007-05-10T13:37:00.000+08:002007-05-10T13:37:00.000+08:00I'll say none that can beat Liverpool fans as a re...I'll say none that can beat Liverpool fans as a results they do not have that kind of supporters. People paid to watch their team. They've rights to support by singing all away.
