Liverpool somehow found a way passed a "courageous" Liege team last night, with Dirk Kuyt providing a very late winner.
This result is really one of the litany of Liverpool last gasp wins/escapes. It seems every season Liverpool conspire to make the results as close as possible. This makes for high drama, and helps explain the clubs appeal beyond the permed confines of Merseyside.
There is a top 10 but because of the constraints of time ie I do this blog while pretending to work- I'm going to concentrate on just three.
Liverpool's Top 3 European Seatedgers:
3) Madrid 0 Liverpool 1.
Alan Kennedy scores in the 82 minute.
2) Deportivo Alaves 4 Liverpool 5
I am so glad I went to the pub to watch this one. I have a prize for anyone who can remember, without googling, who scored the winner.
1) AC Milan 3 Liverpool 3
Liverpool were 3 0 down to a good Milan side at half time, I almost left the pub but stayed to giggle at scouser carnage and shattered dreams. In the canon of greatest comebacks of all time.

STEVE MCLAREN 'OUTWITS' WENGER (but loses 2-0)
Steve Mclaren's team got off to a losing start in Europe last night. Despite this they created some good chances, befitting of one of the leading teams in one of Europe's leading football nations. It all went to Mclaren's head, so accustomed had he become to watching lacklustre England displays. When asked in a post match press conference if his teams good performance was evidence that he had outwitted Wenger, he replied that he had. Yes, outwitted him him so thoroughly that he ended up losing 2-0. His rival managers in the dutch league will be hoping he 'outwits' them all season then.
LIVERPOOLS REF SLUSH FUND SEES THEM THROUGH
Liverpool somehow got through an away game with Standard Liege with only a 0-0 scoreline. Having seen a perfectly legitimate goal disallowed the Belgian team then missed a penalty, and had another good chance cleared. Word is that Liverpool were 'lucky'. We may well ask- when was the last time Liverpool were on the receiving end of an 'unlucky' refereeing decision?
