Liverpool… Liverpool… Liverpool

|
What a week for all the Liverpool fans… Liverpool winning 4-2 on the memorable night against Arsenal… All would say that Liverpool had a share of luck in both the legs against Arsenal with the dubious penalties, but I don’t care as long as we are winning. To say that the best team lost is nonsense. Yeah I agree that Arsenal were too good for Liverpool during the opening 20 minutes, but its all Liverpool after the Sami Hyppia goal... and what a wonder strike from Torres… absolutely fantastic… Had Mascherano squared up for Gerrard instead of Torres who was offside, it would have been 3-1 then, and game over.


But equal credit to Arsenal for such a wonderful game. Never gave up. Pushed till the end… but they had to… It’s the only trophy both the teams were playing for (Unless Arsenal beat ManU over the weekend). Great run by Theo Walcott for the Arsenal second goal. From deep inside the Arsenal half to the Liverpool penalty box to setup Adebayor for the crucial second goal which almost got them through. Great stars are born that way… Hope Walcott grows up to be great footballer (Liverpool wanted to buy him before being prized away by Arsenal).


Arsenal was also to blame for losing it big time… First is Eboue playing in wing He was so awful throughout the day and Wenger for bringing in Walcott so late in place of Eboue. Then the glaring miss by Adebayor. It was a sitter. Henry would have buried it (He showboats as if he is better than Henry). And though the Babel’s penalty was little dubious, how on earth did they allow Babel run to their penalty box immediately after kick off following the second goal. Only the replay of the second goal was going on before the penalty was awarded.


Great penalty by Gerrard though. Don’t know how he manages for Liverpool in those nerve racking moments but not for England??? and the cool finish by Babel for Liverpool’s fourth… Liverpool on the way for the 3rd final in four seasons… and I couldn’t stop myself singing…
