This tie is still completely in the balance though, but I don't see Arsenal winning it tbh.
And NJ10 I completely agree about Voronin, there was one moment when Kuyt played a short pass to Voronin when they were on the counter, the 2 of them v 3 defenders or something and the pass was just behind Voronin who just stood still and if he'd have chased it he could probably have reached the ball before the defender anyway.

Its hard to score when the ref doesn't give you an obvious penalty. Remember also that Liverpool had every player back and whenever they got the ball just hoofed it anywhere. To quote a great man "they parked the bus".
As for Vorinin for Torres who cares. When your teamates are hitting the ball anywhere does it really matter who is up front.
