Dark days my friend, dark days indeed! Don't forget Smicer, for me one of the worst players in LFC history, who's swansong, ironically, was to produce a 25-yard+ wonder strike to bring it back to 3-2 at the Ataturk, forever etching him in the annals LFC history as a hero. Aah, Neil Mellor...my girlfriend is an Arsenal fan. She loved that I made her watch the goal every time she came to see me at uni. Absolutely loved it! It's a miracle I'm not single...Originally Posted by Psychotic
Also keep in mind that this was a Liverpool which had just lost its main outlet of goals, Michael Owen, and relied on the likes of Biscan, Josemi, Baros, Nunez, Pellegrino, Traore, Mellor (although maybe to an Arsenal fan, Neil Mellor is a frightening opponent), and Le Tallec. They even lost the home leg of the qualifying game against the mighty AK Graz.
At the risk of taking this off on a tangent, you mentioned Michael Owen, a player who I am still angry we sold regardless of whatever extenuating circumstances Rafa touted at the time. If you sell a 20+ goal a season striker, you have to replace him. Something we are yet to do. If you could buy any striker in the close season, who would you have and who (not including Robbie Fowler) would you offload?
