I know we won tonight but I can't help feeling bitterly disappointed, the Champions League without Liverpool in the latter stages doesn't seem right, I know we have no given right to be there, but we've gone through ever since Rafa took over and it won't be the same without the might of Liverpool in the most prestigious competition.
I don't think we played well tonight, we got off to such a great start, but I don't feel like we capitalised on our lead, to me the players didn't show any real urgency to get another goal, they could easily have equalised.
It was always going to be an uphill struggle tonight and when it's not even in your hands and you're relying on others, that's not good.
I do feel that Rafa should have brought on Aquilani sooner, I would love to have seen him have a good run, but really it was all too late anyway by then.
To be honest Liverpool shouldn't have even been in this position tonight, but of course that's all water under the bridge and there's nothing that we can do about it now.
So it's onwards and upwards, and to the Europa League, but first we have to take the bitters out, let's hope we do it in style and beat the bitter bas**rds in their own backyard.
Disappointed, but not surprised.
Keep the faith people, we will get there, it's called being patient, taking the rough with the smooth, and supporting the REDS through thick and thin and not just the glory days.
I'll be there at Anfield for the Fiorentina game singing loud and still proud to be a red.
