8-0!!

What a performance and result by Liverpool the other night! Makes a nice change after a very poor few weeks. Sometimes though, football just makes no sense! How can you get beat 2-1 by a team and then just 2 weeks later beat that same team 8-0? Nonsensical! I know it does make a difference playing in your own stadium rather than at the other teams place, nut surely it shouldn't make that much difference? Reminds me of a couple of matches Liverpool played in the same season when I was a teenager against Crystal Palace (early 90's I think). We beat them either 9-0 or 9-1 in the league, but then were beaten 4-3 by them in the FA Cup semi-final. At least they were a few months apart though - not just 2 weeks!

Didn't get to see the match, but it sounds like it was totally one-sided and that we could have scored even more. Wish we'd playe half as well in our previous matches in this group. Have read that it is the best ever winning score in the Champions League. Nice record to have, but it will count for nothing if we don't qualify for the next round. That's still going to be an uphill struggle as we have to win both of our remaining matches against Porto at Anfield and then Marseilles at their ground. Just hope we can keep the momentum from this result going...
