LFC - be happy with what ya got
Recently it has been revealed that UEFA have allowed Liverpool access to the champions league. Usually this is only left for the top 4 teams in the premiership (as far as England is concerned). Liverpool who could only manage 5th have got into it purely by winning the competition this year.
But let's be honest AC milan were robbed and Liverpool shouldn't have even been in the final (chelsea, goal that never should have existed). Entry to the competition should be on the merits of league performance. Fluking a knockout competition shouldn't really count.
However I would love to see them defend their trophy and I'm glad they got in. What's annoying me is LFC fans and some journalists say they should skip the qualifying rounds.
WTF? They didn't even deserve to qualify. Skipping to the first round makes the point gaps Man utd and Everton have worthless, as if their hard work shouldn't be recognised. It's an insult to them who have been more consistant over 38 regular league games.
After all there are no penalty shoot outs in a league, that final would've only earned them one point not three, and their away performance (minus istanbul) was lacklustre. It seemed that they could only perform in front of their fans.
Be happy with what ya got. You're lucky to be in the champions league don't push it.
On the subject of Penalty shoot outs I think they should be scrapped. There is very little skill in them and can often give a team didn't deserve to win, the win. Not to mention that there has never been a penalty shoot out that's worked in my favour.
Games should be decided in 90 minutes, or another 90 minutes are played again at a later date. After those 90 minutes another replay and another until a team wins. One team will eventually crack/hammer the other. After all who can say they wouldn't want to watch another Man utd - Arsenal game?
