Since beating Madrid away we have clicked into some weird overdrive.  And last night the Arsenal chants of Hoof the ball seemed as distant and alien as the old 1-0 to the Rsenal chants of the late eighties/nineties.

Thats a good post Taff i agree with it all,

An for those saying Kuyt should of come off earlier for Babel Kuyt was one if not thee best Liverpool player on the pitch , Babel was his usual self when he came on anyway a sh.ithouse, offerd nothing, twice he had the oppertunity to take someone on ,knock it to the side an go . But he done what he normaly does ran straight in to them, Hes a lazy little get as far as im concerned

we had something like 25 shots in the game, arsenal had 4 and scored 4 goals. as good as arshavin was he's unlikel to have a game like that again anytime soon. hell julio baptista scored 4 at anfield a few years back and look what happened to him.

we dominated the majority of the game and i'm really enjoying watching us play at the moment. the goals against has happened to everyone recently. even united and chelsea have been slipping 3's and 4's in recent weeks.

plus lets not forget weve played two of the best teams in world football and they have been clinical against us (arsenal 4 on target 4 goals)

lets also not forget we have scored 8

How often will teams score four goals and not win? Not very often, even though we've now done it two games in a row under very different circumstances.

Reina wants us to go back to a more cautious approach, I say no way Jose! We've drawn ELEVEN Premiership games this season and only two weren't 1-1 or 0-0. We've drawn far too many games, scoring lots of goals is a good way not to draw too many games. You just have to write off 4-4 as a one-off and assume the next time you score four your opponents won't.
