Crystal Ball!

I think I may need to polish my crystal ball, as it was not quite accurate with the football last night. Instead of a 3-1 win for Liverpool they lost 2-0 on the night resulting in a 3-0 aggregate score.
They may well have been the current champions but with a performance like that they did not desereve to progress in Europes premier footballing event!

They are just not scoring enough goals, over the two legs 180 minutes of football they did not manage to score one goal and and this level it is just not good enough.

'A top-quality striker is likely to be Benitez's priority. Liverpool failed to find the net in their last four Champions League matches'

Ironically the Benfica player who scored the first goal was approached by Liverpool but Benfica wanted more money than Liverpool were prepared(able) to pay! this says it all, Liverpool the reigning European Champions unable to buy quality players.

Congratulations to Arsenal though who for once are performing well in Europe.
