Liverpool are bloody embarrassing!

I'm sitting here watching the European Cup Final. It's half-time, and although I've no particular love for Liverpool, they are British and they are totally embarrassing. It's already 3-0 to Milan and I've gone from half heatedly supporting Liverpool to hoping they get stuffed 5-0 or more. It's disgusting. The performance is lack lustre, half-hearted and very unprofessional. Luis Garcia and Xavier Alonso both are so bad they look like they're playing for the Italians, Traore is so out classed it's sad, and Baros, despite the make-up, looks like a 10-year-old beginner up against Stam. Ridiculous! Of course, we're all delighted that Liverpool knocked Chelsea out in the semi-final, but Mourinho must be watching this and laughing his heart out. On this form, even Southampton could beat Liverpool. Totally dreadful. They should be required to pay back the airfares and ticket cost for every one of their fans.

Update

Well, well, well. Thanks to Gerrard alone Liverpool scored three times in five minutes and we're now in extra time. Ironically, Alonso scored the penalty, but only on a second attempt (and I strongly suspect he was trying to put it over the bar even then). Benitz eventually replaced Baros with Cisse, but Luis Garcia continues to be a serious thorn in Liverpool's side. He can't touch the ball without giving it to the Italians.

Update 2

All over and the best team in Europe didn't win -- in fact the best teams in Europe weren't even in the final -- Liverpool won. Mostly thanks to Dudek (man of the match in my view) who did everything including pelvis thrusts to put off the Milan penalty takers. Very, very, very lucky! So, as Liverpool is only the fifth best team in the UK, clearly there's four teams in the UK better than anythign else in Europe! On the whole, a crap final.
