He's still quick, strong and capable to deal with the physical side of the game. Takle today for example; lads of 21 were limping around in extra time because their bodies were not able to keep up...yet Steve was still running around, chasing the ball and knocking 30 yard passes.
Imo he is just playing too deep atm. He is not as good playing like that.
Kenny must have told him to play deep because Adam aint gonna play the DM role is he? It didn't work at all. Although we had serious bouts of dominance we still struggled. However. we won and thats all that counts. In a couple of days the performance will be forgotten about and its our name thats on the cup YNWA
we showed a bit of bottle there today, massive favourites have been beaten in cup finals before like leeds v sunderland, united v southampton, us v wimbledon, united v sheff wed etc etc and even last year with arsenal and birmingham.
after hitting the bar early on, going a goal down, having efforts cleared off the line, the ref giving them a lot of cheap free kicks, having a couple of penalty shouts turned away, conceding an equaliser in the last minute of ET and missing our first 2 pens you wouldnt have blamed our players for thinking that this wasnt our day and cardiff`s name was on the cup.
there have been liverpool sides in the last 20 years that would have thrown the towel in mentally today believing the fates were conspiring against them.
Good post. Bringing in a sense of balance to the forum.
great escape theme tune ( i think ) does my brain in.
