Post match reaction - we lost that game in Lisbon. They always had a bit of quality and were bound to grab a goal - that Simao is a good player. If United had knocked Benfica out then we probably would have had him.
We need a world class striker, at the top of his game, no question. If we had a Henry or someone of his ilk we would be a seriously improved side, and with Gonzalez coming in the summer we can only improve from here on in.
Morientes just hasn't delivered and I expect Rafa to let him go. Djib Cisse also has no role in our line up. I think Fowler will be given an extension of another 12 months, and I think Crouch will become more effective when he has a striker alongside him putting the ball in the back of the net.
Ironically I thought we looked a much better side in the Champions League this year. It just didn't work out on the night.
That new banner is a jinx.........
