Hi Kirsty, there's another way to follow it when you log into Blogger.

At the bottom of your reading list there's an ADD button, just key in the web address there (http://www.myanfield.net/)

I don't use the follow gadget as it slows down the loading speed of the blog.

The wobbly group stages are some of my greatest matches lol especially things like Olympiakos match, how epic was that?

I still think we could walk this looking at it realistically though it's only Lyon away now that should really cause us any major problems. Atleast that's how it looks on paper lol.

Do you have an option to follow your blog? I can't find the thing on your page.

We definately don't want to walk the group, it's just not the Liverpool way is it? Lol.

Great blog by the way,

Don't worry, it was just for one match...and only just nearly. No other teams plays like Liverpool :-)

@gunther_furlong - they were a lot better than I was expecting. Hope they don't sit back at Anfield as they'd be a real tough cookie to break down.

2009-09-30T10:30:48.965+01:00

Terrible game against a very good side Fiorentina. Was apprehensive when I heard we were playing them (along with Lyon).

They really bossed the midfield. Lucas and Aurelio and our back four couldn't do much.

Felt that Liverpool didn't use their WIDTH well. Maybe rafa too conservative. Riera wasn't around. Babel lit it up.. albeight briefly.

In summary -- deserved loss. Fiorentina has quality players. Who said Italian league played slowly?

@Scouserine - touche ;-)

@David - that probably didn't help matters but it shouldn't excuse the lack of effort from most of our players.

2009-09-30T10:27:09.091+01:00

I will start by saying Benetez does a good job taking into account the financial constraints that are put upon him, but Aurelio & Lucas away to an Italian team that came fourth last year !
He made this mistake against Leeds and only just got away with it, surely he had to sacrifice Gerrard to midfield.
On this occasion I'm sorry but he dropped one !!

2009-09-30T10:16:05.209+01:00

one european commentator said fiorentina's back line was up high with the midfield, which killed off all our attacks. basically rafa was outsmarted by his opponent

2009-09-30T09:50:33.889+01:00

It looks like this could be very tight group whic goes to the very last game. I can see both Fiorentina and Lyon finishing with over 10 points each which presents with quite a challenge.

I still see in the last 16 but we are really gonna have to fight for it.

2009-09-30T09:35:38.890+01:00

@Scouserine - they looked awesome only because we made them look that way by playing poorly. Jovetic was the key for them, great little player who we need to contain at Anfield.

Actually yeah I really would like us to walk it !

Credit to Fiorentina they were awesome on the offensive and the speed at which they got back to defend was very impressive. We can afford the loss at this early stage so I wont lose any sleep. The lads better step up their game against Chelsea if they want to get anything out of it.
