Hopefully last night's big win will carry over and the team can get some momentum going in league play. Of course, this result could be seen as a good thing at Chelsea, Arsenal and Man U. because it may mean Rafa stays on, which means Liverpool is no threat to the Big 3.

Lets remeber that until Peter ' the stick ' Crouch came on Liverpool created little. Rafa must start the Stick and use him with Torres to take Liverpool to CL glory.
Mr Capello give the Stick a start against the French with Owen and they will get us the goals.

Out of the 22 players that started this game: there were just 2 Englishmen and 1 Italian. Half of the players on the pitch were not even from Europe! I think we urgently need some new EU legislation to guarantee a minimum number of players from the home country (rather than a maximum number of foreign players, as in the past).

Liverpool were lucky last night and that luck will probably see them into the quarter-finals. Of course, it was all down to luck that Liverpool reached the final in 2007. And obviously, luck was the only reason that Liverpool went all the way to the final and won in 2005. Quality play and tactical superiority just don't come into the equation when you want to beat Inter Milan, AC Milan, Barcelona, Chelsea, Juventus etc. It's just all luck really... zzzzz.

The truth is Liverpool crave the Premiership title and would swap another CL success for the Prem title. But then, Man U, Chelsea etc would dearly love to win the CL. It's pure jealousy on their fans' part that Liverpool are able to carve through Europe's elite and do so well in the CL when their team's simply cannot!

John, Cheltenham,

I didn't see the match live. I was watching Rome-Real.
Real lost (2-1) after leading for a good while and squandering numerous chances.
Arsenal drew (0-0) at home. Also Chelsea.
So may I ask, what's wrong with a 2-0 victory?
Spoiled... spoiled.

Yesterday night LFC played in a very good way, and Inter was under its standards...then the exclusion of Materazzi in the first time of the match was "a little bit" unfair i think...in any case, the anfield stadium was the fatal blow for a team that was scared by that....
Forza Juventus :)

Stefano Capozi, Rome, Italy

People must have been watching a different game. Liverppol looked like a one-dimensional team with few ideas as to how to break 11 down let alone 10. A mis-hit goal should not deflect from the obvious problems that exist at Anfield. Success in cup competitions where any team can win one-off games shoudl not be enough for a team with such a pedigree and which has costs such an amount to assemble.

Anthony, Cheadle Hulme,

Liverpool is going to get champion league in this season. I strongly believe on that. Go ahead, my team.

Viet Hoa, Hanoi, Vietnam

Hang on - we barely had a shot on goal for 85 minutes - 55 of those were against 10 men. They had to rely on a deflection and a speculative long range effort.

I hardly think that is a cause for celebration.

A truer reflection of Liverpool's worth was in the first 30 minutes. 11 vs 11 and they didn't even get close to Inter's goal.
Yes they had the majority of possession but so what.
Benitez doesn't encourage more than a 2 or 3 players to attack and certainly doesn't encourage them to move out of position (unlike Wenger). Because of this rigidity they are unable to move into the spaces quickly enough to allow the kind of intricate and 1 touch passing required to unlock a water tight defense.

I for one, think Benitez is not the right man to take Liverpool back to the top.

Nick Morgan, London, UK

Long may Rafa's reign continue! As long as he produces the odd good European result to keep the great Scouse unwashed happy he will keep his job and as a consequence Liverpool will not be bothering us folk at the top of the Premiership table.

Mike Farren, Manchester, England

The fact that Inter were unfailry down to 10 men for the bulk of the match and had lost both their first choice centre backs when Liverpool scored seems to be conveniently over looked by the Liverpool fans. Hardly a great win for them, surely it is embarrassing that they struggled for so long and were dependent on bad refereeing and injury to help them get a result.

Claire, Henley, UK

One good performance and LFC fans are in raptours about Rafa again.
I dont see LFC winning the CL this year and reaching the final is not a measure of success. There is a clear problem in the prem with Rafa's prep, tactics and selection so 4th place is not certain in my opinion.
Do yoiu still see Rafa as a saviour if your are in the Uefa Cup and have a £30 million hole in the finances that the owners will not plug. Bye Torres Bye Gerrard if that is the case.

James, London,

some italian journals write that the qualifing for inter milan is possible becouse english teams far from their home have always fear.. i don't know

pietro, padova, italia

A tremendous result against a difficult background.Mr Benitez continues to confound the odds at the highest European table. Given all that has gonne on recently in and around Anfield... this morning,Rafa deserves his moment in the sun.

Andy-Luton, Luton,

Does Phil Noonan whose comment on the right side of this page-

'I love my club, my team, my history - and right now they EMBARRASS me'

still feel the same way? I really wished short term 'fair weather supporters' simply keep their views to themselves. They pop up, bask in the glory & then feel they know more about football than someone with Rafa's phenomenal managerial record.

I know 'empty vessels make the most noise' and that e-mail is easy to send but can the supporters fulfil their duty to 'Support the team and manager' as our Supporters Group 'Reclaim the Kop' are trying to resurrect ??

Rafa is amongst elite. Arsene wenger hasn't won A thing for THREE years and it may become four.NO ONE says that Wenger whilst finishing behind Rafa the last two years (without CL, FA Cup etc) MUST win the Champions League to save his job!

This is simply mischief making and fishing to get ' a quote'.

Rafa's success should be a source of Pride for Premiership- not derision.

Ayaz, Wakefield,

They played their hearts out and deserved to win. Magnificent!.

Rafa, stop resting the players and you'll get more results like this.

leila , manchester, uk

Hang on - 2-0 against one of the best sides in Europe is a great result. Why is it that when Man U win with two late goals its described as 'cream rising to the top', 'unwilling to lie down' , 'quality showed', 'never say die attitude' but with Rafa and Liverpool - its always lucky?
When you can watch a European night at Stamford Bridge on tv and can hear the words from the terraces, so you can sing along in the lounge - you'll have an atmosphere.

Al, newcastle,

In 2005, Liverpool were too knocked out of the FA cup by a lower division team but went on to win the CL. Could this be a deja vu?

Peterq, HK,

Does Benitez really need to be urged to play his strongest team against a side like Inter. Sensationalist writing once again. I really thought this was limited to the backpages of a certain sunny publication. Poor, very poor!

Marc, London,

I'm sure when a few years ago when 3 of the 4 semi finalists was a source of pride for the whole Italian Nation (and similarly with English teams last year). Why do we personalise certain challenges, heap almost impossible pressure on a manager and then diminish the achievements if not forget them immediately.

I was shocked when looking at another 'quality' online paper whose headline in such a historic night when Liverpool beat 'The Best Team in Europe' was about a lucky goalless draw for Chelsea against a Greek team!!

Really, is some of the reporting THAT biased out there?

In the above Chelsea game, Avram Grant has described it as 'the worst European performance since his arrival'!

Liverpool's result one of best (Barcelona last yr, Juventus, Chelsea (twice), & ofcourse AC Milan etc The newspaper (& journalist) in question would probably find nothing to praise other than timing of a substitution!!

PLEASE Give Rafa the well earned RESPECT he deserves.
