Taxi for Benitez

Goons cant win at home .... thats a shame.

Would they have defended the same way with 11?  I think they'd have been slightly more offensive, and therefore there would have been more gaps for Liverpool to try and exploit.

Inter obv got down to 10 men as its the best chance they stood, everyone knows that teams with 10 men are harder to beat than teams with 11.....

Inter are a far superior side, i didn't get to see last nights game but it sounds like a freak result, a bit like Barnsley

Not a freak result as Liverpool completely dominated them.  Freak result as in Liverpool winning a match, then yes you're right.

Hmm freak result, that a bit of poetic license. If you look at the teams respective European records in the last few years you would make Liverpool faves for the tie.

Admittedly I made Inter faves going into Tuesday game, but it was by no means a certainty. Freak result describe the defeat to Barnsley not to describe a team that have beaten Barca, Juve and Chelsea twice in this competition in recent years.

There was nothing 'freak' about the result against Barnsley to be honest.  It wasn't even the worst we've played this season.  Consistent in Europe, all over the place in the league and domestic cups.

The win against Inter wasn't unexpected at all.  How completely ineffective they were as an attacking force was strange though (even with 10 men).
