There was a huge sigh of relief after the game last night. I think everyone in the stadium were happy with the results at the end of the game. But they had to wait until the last 5 minutes of the game for the first goal, and it was a double relief when the skipper blasted another cracker at the stroke of full time.
But of course, Rafa must have had his heart skipped a bit or two during the whole game. It was frustrating watching the home team having the mighty lion of possessions, and playing with an extra man (Inter was down with 10 men on the 30th minute), but was unable to get the goal they desperately needed. Shots after shots on goal were off target, and if they were on target, the keeper did well to save them. Rafa then brought in two attacking players for more firepower, and it finally paid off when a cross from one of the substitute was met by Kuyt who volleyed in his second goal in two games for the long awaited breakthrough.
And the goal from Gerrard was like the icing on the cake, and with a comfortable lead to take to San Siro, Liverpool must now be counting their chances of progressing to their 12th European Cup quarterfinals. Of course, anything can happen in the second leg, but now it's up to Inter to make things happen.
Hopefully this win will be the start of a good run, and maybe, just maybe, we'll be in the running again for that elusive top spot in the league.
But most importantly, it means Rafa won't be going anywhere for the time being.
Not yet.

Hopefully so! But inconsistency has always been Liverpool's downfall.
