Hi everyone,
I thought that we started the game nicely, which Steven Gerrard's try coming off the post in the 7th minute. Then, we found ourselves on the back foot when Shaun Barlett headed home a Danny Murphy corner. From that particular moment, we started losing the ball too easily. Luis Garcia gave away too many free kicks.
Fernando Morientes had his shot cleared by the Charlton goalkeeper. Milan Baros was fighting the ball whenever possible. They went in at half-time lagging behind by a goal.
Rafa Benitez's men came out in the second half with great determination. Gerrard, Garcia and Riise started getting more and more balls to the strikers. At the back, Finnan , Carragher, Hyppia and the excellent Traore were proving tough to beat.
Yet again, we could see that Fernando and Milan were eager to score. There were glimpses of great understanding between them. Them came the moment when Morientes scored with a magnificent left foot shot. I was quite impressed with the bit of skill to beat the defender. Credits to Milan though for the pass.
Liverpool started to play as a different team(like against Arsenal and Olympiakos). Riise scored and gave us a great victory. Boro lost to Portsmouth and allows us to go three points clear in 5th.
Smicer came on very late into the game to get some action after being sidelined for the last 6 months. Hope that Harry Kewell and Le Tallec would be in the squad on saturday.
I hope that we'll see a great performance against Fulham once more.
Come on guys !
