The Joy of Liverpool FC

Having overcome the mighty

So finally, we have overcome the mighty, Kaunas (or however the hell you spell that footballing non-entity. And we friggin' made it look hard!

Okay we had a two-goal cushion (more like a duvet!), but still the players seemed to misunderstand the concept of the game. The objective is not to see who has the most possession. The objective is not to play around with neat interplay passing. Though these may contribute to winning, the essential part of the game is SCORING FUCKING GOALS!!!!

Look, I know we hit the bar, had that defender head away Bolo's goalbound shot etc, etc, but we never looked like scoring. It was embarassing that Stevie G's free kick snuck in and Cisse owed us a goal.

Peter 'Hightower' Crouch may be on the couch for a few weekends with that hamstring twinge. Hope he does more damage there! Or is this a tactical thing here "Look boss I'm out for the first couple of week's cuz of that thing at Southhampton, y'know that red card thing? Yep, well, if I pull a sickie, then we can pretend that the red card doesn't matter." Rafa: "Si, Senór Crouch, but as we say in Spain, score or it's the bull ring for you!"

On a brighter note...Stevie G is officially the top scorer in Europe with...fuck it, doesnt matter now, it's friggin' loads. Keep it up!

Now, who's next to face death by boredom?
