To be fair to us, we're usually quite good at that in Europe. Even under Souness we never exactly shipped goals, and we haven't done that bad in Europe thus far. Much better opposition yes but I'm a lot less worried about our defence at European pace than Premiership pace.

Nearly as infuriating as Duff being unable to stay onside

Well Villa have got 1 back. Happy days eh

Dangerously reminiscent of Wigan away at same stage last season.

I hate weekends when we don't play, especially as now Chelsea have no reason to rest anybody for midweek Champions League. Still, we'd lose whenever it was played and at least Frankfurt will get all of our attention.

I reckon we tried to sgin Danny Mills as a full back option but picked the wrong guy out of the identity parade

No fucking wonder we were in pole position, it must have been the most one sided race in history

I would say it was obvious he was dropped so he's not cup-tied if sold.

Robinson, Toure, Gallas, Carragher, S Taylor, Gerrard, Lennon, Parker, Tonge, Henry (captain), Ashton Subs: Ashdown, J Fortune, Ambrose, Lua-Lua

Who's that handsome chap at the top? Even forgot to predict on Saturday too...
