Half watched the Liverpool Arsenal game last night. Arsenal shone with their usual intricate passing, Liverpool were their usual functional selves for most of the game.
Having almost snatched victory at the death, Arsenal I felt were a little unlucky to get the penalty against them, but the Liverpool substitute Babel gave the Arsenal defence a torrid time after his introduction. Though it pains me to say it as a United fan, his breakaway at the finish half the length of Anfield to fight off Fabregas and finish with aplomb was a joy to watch.
I hope United can complete the job against Roma tonight (they lead 2-0 from the first leg). Along with other United fans we wonder if Ferdinand will play and how the defence will do overall without Vidic, who has been a rock all season. Will be nice to see Gary Neville return if he is fully fit and chosen by Fergie.
If United do go through, it seems a mouthwatering semi-final with Barcelona is on the cards, a game that even fairweather fans would be interested in watching given the amount of footballing talent that would be on view. But let's see first that both United and Barca do the job in their respective games. Come on United and Visca al Barca!
