Agreed.i think many agree with you to that end, me included. but purely in terms of quality, chances, etc............there was little appeal.
but physical, gritty, battle of wits, type games are just as enthralling no doubt.
Seemed to me the Reds had the edge through most of the 90 mins (maybe Chelsea pulled ahead in the last 15-20m or so). Chelsea were better in extra time but Liverpool defended superbly. Not many chances for either side, though Drogba missed a sitter. Reina is a hero (and Robben should not take penalties)
Too much long-ball action for me. Got frustrating after a while.
