The media are doing us no favours (English spelling!) prior tothe game. tThey are running with speculation cncerning Rafa's future. Concentrate on the game!!!
Rafa and the team will be concentrating on the game.
I remember our first twenty mins against Juve at anfield we absolutely rammed them and they didnot know what had hit them...IF we can reproduce that then we will be comfortable.
A furious and passionate start full of attacking intent is just what the doc (Rafa) will order. I get thefeeling this Madrid team has a soft under belly away from home...let us exploit it.
Key men will be our attacking players:
Gerrard; rediscovering his goal scoring touch...will get at least one
Aquilani; Needs to shoot on sight tonight and run at their back line. I have a feeling he will score...just a feeling

Babel; a lot of pressure on the rookie but his performance against Madrid last term was exceptional. I'd like to see him drive at defenders, especially in and near the penalty zone
Johnson; he has an incredible shot and his delivery is good too. We need him to provide the width and act as an outlet.
I hope we can get a penalty kick or two. We have a home crowd behind us and I feel we have not been getting enough penalties (and free kicks around the penaltyzone) of late.
I also hope the officials saw the Inter Milan tactics lastnight; time wasting and tactics fouls need to be cracked down on. Officials should not be reluctant to dish out yellow cards tonight for these tactics. I suspect Mdrid will employ this gamesmanship.
I am going for 3-0 to us.
