Liverpool v/s Blackburn

What a game ........ !! This is what Liverpool FC is all about ! The win was against relegation threatened Blackburn but winning when you are down to 10 men in the 25th men is something which can only be done by us.

Maxi scores 2 goals in the first 15 min, Doni gets red carded at 25 and Jones saves the penalty !! Blackburn pull themselves back up to 2-1 and Liverpool somehow scrape through to the half time. Jones makes a mistake and Blackburn get another penalty. This time Yakubu scores, Carroll finally redeems himself and scores in the 91st minute ! This is a short summary of the most amazing and dramatic game I have ever seen. It is nothing short of a soap opera.

When I saw the lineup I was not surprised as I knew Kenny would choose a comparatively younger team as he wanted to rest the main players for the Everton (belch !!) Semi Final. But I couldn't have predicted what happened yesterday night. The youngsters played well and Maxi Rodriguez finally showed that he is not bench material and is much much finer. The defense played well after being down to ten men and the forwards kept attacking without loosing hope.

Doni : He is the most unluckiest guy in the world ..... am sad for him !! I don't think he had much of a choice.
Jones : He saved the penalty, but throughout the game he was poor and under confident

Coates : Wanted to see another of those bicycle goals form him ..... !! He was ohkay, dint see much of him.
Johnson : He's back ....... Finally our Super Back 4 is complete.
Enrique : Came on for 14 min but made an impact
Flanagan : Young blood runs in him , would have been red carded if he had stayed ...... reckless tackles.
Skrtel : He makes a good captain, was amazing at some points
Agger : Amazing freekicks, Bellamy should have given them to him.

Maxi : He proved Kenny wrong ....... Man of the Match for me !!

Henderson : Did good as a LB, was frustrated but good performance overall.
Spearing : Did you see him ........ did he even touch the ball ??
Shelvey : Needs to understand that he has not reached the point where he can go solo .... wasted many chances !!

Bellamy : He was great as always ....... his assist was awesome ! But he is slowing down a bit :(
Carroll : Even tough he scored a goal, I found him pathetic .......... He can't attack , he can't defend ..... what can he do ?


All's Well that Ends Well ...... !! We won and we were entertained ........ I cannot ask for more !!
Next game is super important to save this season and this win adds to our confidence. Let's keep supporting Liverpool and keep believing in Dalglish ....... the storm is almost over. YNWA !!
