They had a lot of possession but really failed to get any shots on target until Crouchy came on when they finally looked dangerous
Can't really judge a game based on 10 Italians defending as it can be very misleading

An in form Inter Milan coming away from almost endless success with 2 amazing forwards and excellent defence going to play to a team that quite simply has sucked the the last 2 months...
You hardly were expecting Liverpool to play forward all the time and risk an away goal, even when Materazzi who I think was wrongly sent off took the team down to 10 men, if you have ever watched them play they are still a formiddable team. Liverpool took the ball away for most of the game anyway in order to tire the players out, laying seige on them and slowly turning the screw. So they waited and scored their goals at the end when Milan were tired and could not respond. I would say it was excellent play and an excellent strategy. Perhaps if the team was more successfull overall I suppose people might hand out the credit because I am sure if it were Fuergesson, or even Capello (as I expect he would have a similar attitude) then people would be excaliming their brilliance.
2-0 is an excellent score and when 10 men are behind the ball (knowing they get a second chance) it is often more difficult to score than with 11.
