Rafas finest part 2.

[Oncy]

What's your favourite goal scored under Rafa.
You can have any excuding the 2 x cup finals. Simply because I'm looking for asthetic not emotive.

 

[Oncy]

My top 3
1-Garcia vs Juventus
2.Torres vs Blackburn
3.Gerrard vs Olympiakos.

 

[Whaddapie]

In no particular order...

Torres Vs Bolton (4-0, last season) - SG's 30 yard pass, FT clips it over the advancing keeper.

Gerrard Vs Real Madrid - Simply redirecting a half volley like that, at such pace was artistry.

Torres Vs Blackburn - Don't need to say anything...

Torres v Newcastle
[/quote]Is that the one where he let's it run past Pele style and then scores unlike pele.

Are you thinking of the one where Gerrard played it with his left to Torres who did a shimmy and went around Given? That would be in my top 3 too.

As would Gerrard vs Olimpiacos. I also love Alonso's goal against Arsenal in that Mellor game.

Yep.
A real thing of beauty between him and Stevie. I have put in a clip but I will see if i can get a better one.

My favourite is Garcia against Chelsea in 2005 (but not for aesthetics), off the top of my head

1. Gerrard v Middlesborough
Gerrard goal vs middlesbrough

2. Neil Mellor v Arsenal
Liverpool - Neil Mellor (goal)

3. Gerrard v Olympiakos
Steven Gerrard cracker vs Olympiakos

 

[ILD]

Gerrard and Torres were unplayable at times.

What about Crouchie's bicycle kick against PSV?

I think my favourite Torres goal though was his first against Chelsea.
Nothing extraordinary by the great man's standards but for me it just was a statement that we had a top striker on our hands.

 

[Jürgen4PM]

Agger v Blackburn.

[Karl Hungus]

Agger vs Chelsea in the Champion League semi a few years ago.

 

[reuque]

Alonso versus Luton Town where he scores from our half, Stevie screaming at his face for not passing the ball but soon celebrating.

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Garcia vs Juventus

Torres vs Fulham (he came off the bench to save us and I fell in love with him)

A defining moment no doubt. I just sat there and was gobsmacked. Having lived through Cisse, Baros, Morientes etc, and no really being convinced by the Torres signing, I was so glad to be wrong.

Fav goals though Torres v Blackburn & 'Gerrraaaaard!"!!! What a hit son, what a hit' v Olympiakos.

 

[Spionkop69]

Garcia v Chelsea May 2005.

 

[etchy]

1. Garcia's goal
2. Torres' vs Blackburn

 

[SaintGeorge67]

Torres scored another ridiculous one against Blackburn too if I recall... an overhit cross that he somehow still reached and headed it back across Friedel.

 

[SummerOnions]

1. Garcia vs Anderlecht, the looping header.
2. Torres vs Arsenal, CL quarters
3. Torres vs Marseilles

 

[reuque]

This thread is gay. Torres gay.

 

[DHSC]

Alonso vs Arsenal, the game with Mellor's last minute winner.
