Re: Liverpool Thread
One of the best Liverpool games I've ever been to (and this inlcuded Istanbul, Chelsea last season, our glorious Uefa Cup campaign etc)...was when Clinton Morrison, in the build up to the match, said he was "better than Michael Owen"...and then had a nightmare in front of the Kop - including a lovely fresh air shot. Now I was sitting right up by the Palace Fans (animals - that goes for Birmingham and Newcastle fans as well...), the looks on their faces were priceless. Priceless. Swallowed a wasp comes to mind.
But I guess those ghosts are now laid to rest...now that you've knocked the Champions of Europe out of the League Cup 3rd round...you'll always have a story the kids.
How was the 2-2 draw with Crewe straight after it? Then the loss to Pig United? In fact, this League Cup defeat was the best thing that ever happened to us...not to mention that it sent us on a 10 game winning streak without conceding a goal, but it also meant that we could free up some fixtures in our season (that started in July). Overall, every cloud as a silver lining...though I suspect this cloud had more silver than most of us originally thought.
In other news...did I not say Harry Kewell was back? Cos he is. He had a great first half yesterday, but I was just about to say we should take him off yesterday when...BANG. What a goal.
Good performace all round...thugh Crouch and El Moro did little, and Riise was a joke. Mistakes are creeping into Sami's game as well...but I wouldn't drop him just yet...maybe a rest (like last season) is in order though?
Sissoko showed comittment as always - even on the RW.
Gerrard bossed in the 2nd half.
Alonso did ok.
Carragher excellent as always.
Finna did ok - nice cross.
Cisse showed hunger when he came on.
Pleased to beat 4th in the league (though I think there is no way they'll be there at the end of the season).
