Liverpool 4, team with best away record 1
Before I forget, just one thing: Pack the back heeling in unless its 27-0 to us. Gerrard’s backheel today was lazy and unwarranted and as if he was in a training game. But of course I love it when it works.
Anyway, £17m for Javier? Man Utd paid £18m for Carrick. You do the math. You’d be nuts not to sign him. But again he showed why he’s class. It was as if he needed to prove his worth. well you don’t my little Argentinian hero, you were bloody all over the place. In a good way, as opposed to the Portsmouth defence who were all over the place for other reasons.
At least we weren’t subjected to Play Up Pompey for 3 hours, largely due to the fact the Portsmouth fans had just worked out how much the 15hour drive had cost them in petrol.
we played ok, with flashes of brilliance, but didn’t look like getting out of 2nd gear. Certainly after the 2nd goal, it was an odd match - they didn’t try to attack and we didn’t want to push forward so it was all tame. Until of course, the inevitable goal that comes for the away team when we fanny about at the back.
But Harry and Torres do have an understanding and there was moment of Kewell class when he almost chipped David “Bluto beard” James.
Anyway, the match was all about Masch. He was chasing like a terrier and playing out of his skin, or just playing very well. Xabi’s gonna have a hard time displacing him. hopefully.
Off the quiet kop trotted to Christmas. Marvellous.
