So, Liverpool played Sunderland away today. A somewhat easy game for us in the previews so there was a slight pressure.
We started with the following 1st eleven:
Reina
Finnan - Carragher - Hyypiä - Arbeloa
Pennant - Alonso - Sissoko - Babel
Voronin - Torres
With the subs being Itadje, Agger, Mascherano, Riise and Kuyt. So pretty decent squad on the pitch again.
Game started with bad news when Murphy collided with Hyypiä with Sami hitting his nose on Murphy’s shoulder. Plenty of blood started floating from his nose and he was substituted eventually 10 minutes later. He got a fracture in his nosebone now, but I hope it doesn’t keep him away for too long as Carra got a hit on his rib and had to be taken off the pitch. Arbeloa took his place in the middle and Riise was put on the
left side.
We got the game going with Sissoko’s shot from 20 meters from Voronin’s pass. Great shot in low corner left no chance to Gordon who played very good today. Another goal was created after Pennant and Babel played well together on the right side with Babel passing the ball in the middle to Torres who passed it on to Voronin who shot the ball to lower right corner.
So a great 0-2 victory for Liverpool and we got 7 points from our 3 games so far. Man City lost to Arsenal today with Fabregas’ goal around the 80th minute.
Chelsea also won against Portsmouth with Lampard’s goal.
Now tomorrow we will have Man Utd versus Tottenham at Old Trafford which
should be a thriller, but don’t forget the Middlesbrough - Newcastle
game either!
