Anyone else think Liverpool will start 4-5-1 with surprise starts for Garcia and Kewell? No surprise with back four Finnan and Riise. Gerrard, Alonso and Mascherano in the middle with the boyos on the wings. Kuyt up front on his own.
Liverpool to nick it 2-1.

Tallaght Stadium Regular
Kewell just getting fit in time for Champions League final?
What a leech?
I'd say he'll have gerrard behind one striker, probably Kuyt.
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

4-5-1 very possible, Garcia, no chance, Kewell starting would depend on whether Zenden is fit.
Think Liverpool will win 2-1 AET,Milan have played their best game of the competition against Man Utd and I think Benitez will know how to beat them on that performance.
MOT
The problem with teams like Man UTd and Milan is they play football and they both showed their hand too early. Teams like Chelsea and Liverpool do not have a hand they just stop teams rather than beat teams. That is why Liverpool have come no where near winning the league this year as they struggle to beat lesser teams but like to stifle good teams. Expect a tight match and I think 10/1 for LIverpool to win on penalties could be a good bet. Liverpool to win 2 European Cups in 2 years but playing anti football.
In Trap we trust
is it just me who thinks the match has been muck so far? Milan losing the ball all over the place, Liverpool just pressuring everything...........not great stuff......
Yes.
Just like the FA cup final, rubbish!
Yes, it is just me?
this is a brutal game. Liverpool have no guile, and Milan are just toothless.
milan win 2-1. at least there were 2 minutes of excitement there at the end.
(sorry for the multiple posts......its just i got at up at 3.45 Japanese time to watch this......need to justify getting up in somw way)
No, more like I didn't read the post thoroughly enoughYes, it is just me?
jez i knew ye were a bit differant down below in limerick...but didnt think ye were that differant!!
There's the right way, the wrong way.... and the Max Power way!! :-D
Not really an exciting game, Benitez did a great tactic job but then you can't play a final without a true forward. Milan were quite disappointing in the first half, completely unable to play their own football. A different story in the second half and with a little effort Milan deserved the win. I can't believe Maldini was there when Milan won the cup in the late eighties.
Man of the match: Gattuso but Nesta and Gerrard were good too. A special mention for Inzaghi, not impressive, probably not a champion but I wonder how many players score over 40 goals in champions league.
Good game of football. Nice contrast in style. Liverpool more attacking without creating much chances. Milans elegance & style won through in the end. Inzaghi takes a lot of unwarranted stick from the UK & Irish media so good to see him with it with great finish.
He takes stick because he can't play football, but he openly acknowledges that himself. I think playing him up-front on his own is a crazy tactic given his general ineptitude in open play, but he's there to score goals.
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
Yep, Inzaghi v. Kuyt in the furthest upfront role. I know who I'd rather have upfront.
Fair play to Milan, that was pretty much the difference.
The Model Club
Tell all the Bohs you know
that we've gone and won two-in-a-row
and it's not gonna be three
and it's not gonna be four
it's more likely to be 5-1.
Kaka's 'wife beater' at the end was amusing.
Is JESUS the same agency that Tevez and Mascherano belong/belonged to?
Typical 'British' attitudes towards Inzaghi. Having seen him play (as opposed to watching him on TV with a biased Brit commentary) it is obvious he is a superb sniffer; hanging off the last defender, using the width of the pitch to draw defenders, moving inside to cause confusion, totally focused and being instinctively in the right place to take advantage when the ball breaks loose. He was superb against Liverpool, using his body and positioning to create one goal, and being a craftsman striker to score the second, decisive goal.
Milan were nervous and careless but still tried to play football while Liverpool were merely hard-working and clueless. Steven Gerrard - I rest my case; the dipper was a waste of space. Italy are now World champions and Champions League winners yet the pub-loving Paddies still swear allegiance to the Premiership because it's all they see when they go to the boozer. Forza Italia! Inglese Merda! Gli Irlandesi sono ignari!
I think he's a great asset but in fairness Billy, he didn't know much about the first goal.
City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.
