I should start with stating that last night was the first time this season we've scored more than one goal in a cup game. Rafa's job is now safe!
I noticed that, Fenerbahce away would have been nay picnic, not that winning this tin pot Euro Disney League is anywhere near the top of my agenda and I cringe when Rafa talks about this cup and finishing fourth can go hand in hand - given our record after European nights and Rafa's history of prioritisation I'd say the opposite is more like to be true, we'll struggle more with a cup to distract
We had the breaks last night, having gone 0-1 down it took a rarity indeed to get us level and that broke Urine-A. Once we got the second we were coasting, they might have had the talent to score goals but for some reason they seemed reluctant to try and win the game. I found some of the subs a bit baffling, once we were effectively through I'd have taken Gerrard off, Benayoun as well given his recent injury and probably given Aquilani a 15 minute run out (not so sure about the last one, maybe wouldn't even have taken him)
A reasonable performance, good to see Babel start back to back games for the first time in a year although sticking with that two DM system still annoys me which disregards who the opposition are. We were more than likely going to need to score, Unirea might have beaten Sevilla who had qualified for the CL latter stages, but they never looked capable of beating a decent side by anything but 1-0. We should be more positive, if Rafa plays Lucas and Mascherano on Sunday I may have to find a grassy knoll and a sniper!
Well that was only our 18th win of the season, we need another 11 wins to beat our 2004/05 tally of 29. We should get past Lille, but it might still be tight. We have a potential 18 more games, if we go out in or before the QFs then this would be our shortest season in terms of games played - we played just 55 last season, we are on 39 for this season with 11 league games to go.
Bring on Blackburn, to the Euro Disney League
