Liverpool were lucky this evening to get that result. Set out for a 0-0 or even a 1-0 home win, they managed to scrape an away goal through Dirk 'Dutch Vassell' Kuyt. Classic Liverpool away in Europe. Even more strikingly, it was classic post-Eduardo Arsenal. Dominating possession, but unable to convert enough chances.
The only possible benefit of 1-1 is that in making Liverpool favourites it will reduce the number of times we hear the phrase 'Historic European Night At Anfield' in the next six days. A Historic European Night At Anfield, apparently, is one where Liverpool can overturn any deficit. Tell that to Benfica.
Seeing Graeme "Put Gerrard anywhere and just let him play" Souness prompted visions of the team of Liverpool legends Sky will assemble on Tuesday night: Three time European Cup winner Souness, two time European Cup winner Phil Thompson and 1995 Coca-Cola Cup victor Jamie Redknapp. I hope it's on ITV.
