We are 11/10 to qualify for the final tommorrow night.
Obviously no Torres and MAXI (Maxi Rodriguez). What about Ngog or Kuyt? If neither of them make it, I'd still be fairly confident with a forward 4 of Yossi, Aquilani, Gerrard and Babel against their porous defence.
Yes we know they're good going forward in Forlan, Aguero, Reyes, Simao etc. but so were Benfica (Cardozo, Di Maria, Aimar etc.) and there's a reason their sat 10th in La Liga - their away form. 2 4 11 18 33 -15. Not great is it? In the knockout stages they've drawn against both Valencia and Sporting and beaten Galatasaray (their only win in Europe this season prior to the semi-final), hardly the creme de la creme of Europe though. In the group stages they could only manage a draw at APOEL and were soundly beaten by both Porto and Chelsea.
I think the atmosphere could make the difference and I really think the likes of Dominguez and De Gea could suffer from the intimidation of Anfield on a European night.
