Inzaghi IS shite in pretty much every way apart from the way that one the game tonight. Although Milan were far from at their best, Liverpool can't complain about losing after failing to do anything with the level of control they had over the game in the first half.

On a sidenote, the English commentators and pundits are a right bunch of bitter bastards. I've never heard anyone try to talk down a Champions League winning side quite so much. Pathetic.

Inzaghi's scored 55 goals in Europe and 126 goals in Serie A, so he's obviously got something. Mind you a lot of those goals were playing alongside Del Piero and Zidane so I imagine the service was pretty good.

Wikipedia has a couple of good quotes about him:

Dutch legend Johann Cruyff has said of Inzaghi, "Look, actually he can't play football at all. He's just always in the right position."
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson once quipped, "Pippo Inzaghi was born in an offside position."

Decent game tonight. It was never going to live up to Istanbul and I thought Liverpool had the better game. But if you don't take your chances you don't deserve to win.

A good game to watch, though nothing spectacular. Liverpool deserved to get the goal for their first half performance, but Milan really held their own in the end, and got the win for it.

I quite enjoyed it all, not least because I had a bet going on with a German friend who was gunning for the Italians, while I was going for the English. We did like the irony

Cliche regarding Inzaghi, gotta be in the right place at the right time. He always is. 2nd goal was classic frontman stuff. He sometimes fluffs his lines so to speak but he's done his talking on the park and I think it's a game of 2 halves and Phil will be eating his words with a side order of humble pie this eve. Cider is the new lager.

Yeah, i'll have to take that Inzaghi comment on the chin

He is very much a victim of circumstance though and has always had the benefit of good service. His overall goals to games ratio is no better than your average striker and the first goal tonight was Pirlo's as far as i'm concerned

Cracking game though. Pity Liverpool didn't have Crouch on from the start and capitalise on their build up play.

I would call the first goal good service from Pirlo for a great Inzaghi goal! He'll never top Mackie's backwards header against Killie though.....

I appreciate your comments on Inzaghi regarding great service received and none too dazzing scoring record but you have to admit that the second goal tonight was clinical and more elegant and composed than your "average striker"?

I think the game summed up Inaghi. Fair play to him, his second was a great striker's goal - but the first was a pile of lucky, lucky shite.
He's also offside almost all the time. Then again, he'd probably point out he scored two so it doesn't really matter!
But he does get the best service in the world. I reckon I could put a few away if I had Kaka and Pirlo passing to me...


Forgetting Inzaghi for a moment, Seedorf was awful.

Something about stopped clocks being right twice...

Inzaghi had to have a good game tonight though - Berlusconi had said publicly that he'd start with Gilardino. If Pippo had been shite Ancelotti would probably have mysteriously disappeared. This way he may still have a job next season despite a fucking shocking season in Serie A.

Kaka - a performance appropriate for his name.

[delboy]

kaka and seedorf both had poor games but every player has bad games!!!!

liverpool looked lively in the first half, shame they got suckered by a fluke goal just before half time.

i think rafa should have brought on a second striker earlier than what he did. never mind just wasnt meant to be for liverpool this year - they did very well to reach to the final in any case.
