As Bayern Munich stomp their way closer to Champions League success, it looks like we’re going to be in for an interesting finalé as Barcelona play out that second leg against Inter tonight. Meanwhile we’re staring down the barrel of another Anfield toughy:
“Ngog has a hamstring strain as a result of a back problem which forced him off in the first leg 1-0 defeat in Madrid last week while Kuyt has a calf injury.” BBC.co.uk
Looks as though we’ve got no hope as we sling Babel right up there in lights (fingers crossed for the man with skill, but no proof of it) and look to Aquilani to drive with him. We’ve got a couple of baskets left for our eggs to cling onto, though. We’re not dead in the Prem just yet, and if Liverpool aren’t known for grinding out the last minute restul when they need it: right infront of the Kop, I don’t know what they are known for. Gerrard on his recent form is reportedly playing wide right, so let’s see what the old skip can pull out of his box of tricks for us.
For the time being there’s little more we can do than clutch our tickets/TV remotes/radios/streams and hope for the best. to distract myself I’ve pulled together a list of who I think Rafa might be looking at for the summer transfers as a move somewhere in the realms of good players/an opportunity to stay with the club/straight up financial investments:
Aleksander Kolarov
Jose Manuel Vargas
David Silva
Arda Turan – Openly admitted how much he loves Liverpool.
Benzema
Van Der Vaart – Poor man’s Kaka could save the middle.
Milan Jovanovic
Lassandra Diaara
Christoph Metzelder
Royston Drenthe
Daniel Pacheco – Youth Squad.
Rafa’s going to be promising the new owners something golden for the opportunity to dip into their savings accounts. Whilst you chew on those as an idea, I’m going to spend the rest of my time with my head under a pillow burbling as many Liverpool chants as I can remember. Come on then!!!
EDIT:: Barcelona gone! Mourinho runs about like a silver fox on heat. Inter will see Bayern Munich in the final.
