Lyon v Liverpool ~ Champs Lge « Thread Started on Nov 3, 2009, 6:37pm »
INJURY HIT REDS ARRIVE IN FRANCE
players who travelled to France are: Pepe Reina, Diego Cavalieri (missed Saturday with flu), Daniel Agger (missed Saturday with back injury), Sotiris Kyrgiakos, Emiliano Insúa, Jamie Carragher, Stephen Darby, Daniel Ayala, Alberto Aquilani (recovering from a virus, still on recovery from ankle injury, has only played 13 minutes this season), Javier Mascherano, Lucas, Jay Spearing, Damien Plessis, Yossi Benayoun, Dirk Kuyt, Ryan Babel, Fernando Torres (struggling with a groin injury), Andriy Voronin and David Ngog (missed Saturday with an ankle injury).
Missing are: Steven Gerrard (groin), Glen Johnson (calf), Albert Riera (hamstring), Fabio Aurelio (calf), Martin Kelly (ankle) and Martin Skrtel (muscle). Andrea Dossena and Nathan Eccleston were both in the squad on Saturday but weren’t on the flight today, presumably having succumbed to that flu virus. Martin Hansen and David Amoo are the other two members of the Champions League squad who didn’t travel.
we played with real heart and desire and Nando went close early doors and Voronin wasted a gilt edged opportunity to put us up 0-1 up but unfortunately he scuffed the shot straight at the keeps.
we are using our width well and Lyon have looked very jaded compared to us
it was 0-0 at half time so hopefully a goal for us in the second half will get us motoring on
under way again, its more of the same really. i think Masch and Lucas have been immense
unfortunately Fiorentina are winning well in the other game which doesnt do us any favours, we need a goal peeps
we are still battling away mind Lyon showing a bit more than they did in the first half
Voronin has been replaced by Babel 68 mins
again we've had our chances, we have got to take one sooooon
GOAL - BABEL - 83 mins great strike from Ryan. He cuts inside Gossama and unleashes a tremendous right-foot shot from 25 yards which flies into the top corner. 1-0 Liverpool!
nervous now
noooooooo 90th min Lisandro has equalised - ack nothing is going right for us for crying out loud
