Rafa hails Kuyt as Liverpool's Euro hero​


Rafael Benitez hailed goal hero Dirk Kuyt in Liverpool's 1-1 draw in Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg at Arsenal.

Kuyt got on the end of a stunning surge and cross from captain Steven Gerrard to equalise, just minutes after Emmanuel Adebayor had headed Arsenal ahead in the opening period.

Bur Benitez was equally impressed with Kuyt's all-round display, the Dutchman making it six goals in European competition for him this season - out of 10 overall for the campaign.

Benitez said: 'Kuyt was our man of the match - he ran and ran and ran.

'If we played another game straight afterwards he would still be running. He was always working and supporting.'

Liverpool staged a sterling defensive display to protect their draw, with the second leg at Anfield next Tuesday.

Benitez said: 'In the second half we were forced back, because Arsenal were attacking and attacking.

'They are such a good team, so we had to defend anyway we could. We had to play deep.

'It was important for us to hit back straight after they scored. If you do not do that you end up being 2-0 down very soon - and it is over.

'Always it is important to score away in the Champions League, always. Now we have the advantage of playing at Anfield in front of our own fans.

'Then if we score it will always be hard for them. It is a good situation for us, but still difficult.

'(Arsenal manager) Arsene (Wenger) may say they are still favourites, but he knows it will be as difficult for them as it will be for us.'








yeah, tas all dirty kite does. run n run n run n kiosai at the end of a low cross. :bsmilie:
 

at least he did kiosai......:bsmilie:

Mascherano slapped with fine and increased ban


Liverpool will consider an appeal against the additional two-match ban handed to midfielder Javier Mascherano by the Football Association for improper conduct.
The 23-year-old was sent off during Liverpool's Premier League defeat to Liverpool's Premier League defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford on March 23 and reacted badly to the red card.Having been booked already for a foul, he was shown a second yellow card in the 44th minute after running 20 metres to referee Steve Bennett to question the booking of striker Fernando Torres.The Argentina international had to be ushered off the pitch by Liverpool staff and team-mates as he attempted to remonstrate with Bennett.

Mascherano picked up an automatic one-match suspension for the red card but is now faced with a ban for a further two Premier League games as well as a £15,000 fine.He admitted a charge of improper conduct after a personal hearing and has been punished further by the FA, with the additional suspension coming into effect immediately.Mascherano - who missed the derby victory over Everton as a result of the dismissal - will now also miss this weekend's clash with Arsenal and the home game with Blackburn on April 13.Mascherano subsequently apologised to his team-mates for his behaviour and sent a letter to Bennett, while manager Rafael Benitez sought talks with referees' boss Keith Hackett to find 'a solution' to the problems that resulted in his player being sent off.Following the announcement Liverpool confirmed that they will consider their options before deciding whether to appeal the decision.

A club spokesman told www.liverpoolfc.tv: 'Although we received a fair hearing we must now decide whether to appeal on the basis of inconsistency of sentencing for Javier based on past precedents.'It will come as a blow to Benitez - who had also disciplined Mascherano internally and fined him two weeks' wages - as he looks to secure the fourth Champions League place.'Javier is a fantastic professional and he knows he made a big mistake - he apologised to his team-mates and the supporters and he has now apologised to the referee,' Benitez said last week.'He accepts he lost control after the sending-off and has said sorry to the referee. I have also talked with him now and told him he would be fined by the club, and he has accepted that and wants the money donated to charity.'This was the first red card of our season and we do not have problems of this kind.'

Like some of you guessed, road to CL semis will be fought over 3 legs, not 2. On Saturday, all Benitez has to do is put in some players who will not be playing in the 2nd leg of the CL game and make Arsenal run and run and run to till they tire themselves out.

Let's see who can play.

Crouch
Voronin
Leiva
Benayoun
Arbeola
Riise
Pennant
Finnan
El Zhar

Nemeth - this guy can run and run at Arsenal sia.

Maybe even some of the younger players.

Defend all the way.

Long balls to Crouch.

Rafa has nothing to gain from chasing this game, Wenger has everything to loose.
