i still feel a liverpool v united final will happen. dunno why just got a feeling. united will win 1-0 away from home in milan. John O'Shea header from a corner .

If Milan let John O'Shea score they dont deserve to be in the final anyways. My pick is goals from Gilardino and Kaka in the second half to seal the tie.

I think we have a great chance next week. Milan's defence looked very shaky and as long as we dont defend all the time we can get a few away goals. I cant see them getting too many. Also, they'll have to attack next week, so we can counter on the break, we looked dangerous there yesterday, just take a look at the third goal.

Thats where you are getting in wrong. Man U's defence looks very ordinary at the moment so much so that even Van Der Sar is making errors under pressure.

And playing at the San Siro where AC have just a good record, its gonna be extremely difficult to score imo.

Having said that United's main strength lies in their attacking pace, so basically its a battle of the Milan's defence against United's attack. The key for me is going to be additional experience of the Italians.

Hmmm Well I feel if Liverpool could have got an away goal they would have had a better chance of going through but at the moment i feel its pretty even.

Even it is, but the goal does gives us the edge. We could have scored another from Lampard's shot but it was a fine save by Reina. We have done well in away games this season and this is probably the best situation we've faced till now as against Valencia and Porto, we conceded away goals. But we still beat Valencia in Spain and drew with Porto at their home to go through.

The big thing is that, if (and thats a major if) we can keep Kaka quiet, I cant see where they're goals are coming from, also we might have Rio back for then. It was showed on Tuesday night that their defence isn't as good as it once was and if they have to attack on Tuesday then they'll leave United open to counter with the pace of Ronaldo, Rooney etc.

I have a feeling Chelsea will go through, if they score one then they are through really, as Liverpool would have to score 3, unlikely to say the least against Chelsea.

Kaka scored the goals the other night, but they do have the likes of Seedorf, Gilardino, Pirlo, and Inzaghi who are all capable of scoring. Gattuso is an important player in midfield for them.

Also what you said about Chelsea is spot on. One goal and its all over for Liverpool.

Yep Gattuso is very important for them, I've heard he'll be back but Maldini's doubtful. I don't know Gilardino wasn't really in the game the other today, Pirlo and Seedorf are good players, but their own chances really will be from set plays.

Interesting you say about Inzaghi, when we reached the final in 99, we played Juve in the semi's, 1-1 at Old Trafford, a late Giggs goal iirc. Then the away leg, we were 2-0 within 15 minutes, guess who scored both goals...Inzaghi. Of course the rest is history...

ROY KEANE! i was there,biggest game I've ever been too. Yorke and Cole amazing,Roy Keane probably the best captains performance ever. Our attacks capable of taking them apart,their defend lucked unusually shaky and I know he scored but Ronaldo really was below his best the other night until we equalized. Milan should be just as afraid of him as we should be of Kaka

 

[hassan]

Looking at current performances i say its gonna be a Man U v Chelsea final... NOooo dont want that another repeat of the FA CUP....

AC v Pool will be soo much better...

Really AC jus need to get a quick goal and they have the experience to defend their lead at the San Siro... Kaka to rape them all again

 

[Leicester Fox]

Kaka to rape them all again

so you think Kaka will force them all to have sex against their will? After that comeback against Everton our lads will be full of confidence and we will see the benefits of a fully fit Ronaldo having only played 30 minutes. Also Rooneys up for this and thats not a good sign for Milan.

I can see Liverpool overturning Chelsea this evening. I predict a 2-0 scoreline.

 

[treva]

1-0 Daniel Agger :happy

get in my son what a finish, I can see a triumph night here for Liverpool here, Keep fingers crossed...

For the love of God how many more times is Gerrard gonna get away with his diving before a pundit finally decided to have a go at him for it?

What is it about Liverpool beating Chelsea in semi-finals??

 

[Leicester Fox]

Attention all Liverpool fans,come up with some original chants,I know your scousers but stop nicking them. They nicked are Ronaldo one although theres obviously isn't about Ronaldo. That they can only dream of I don't care who we play,I can't see either beating us the way we've been playing this season if we get through. I don't care but I really would love to see the Liverpool fans if Chelsea score in the last minute
