I'd love to see Wigan go 3-2 up, just for the drama
Never gonna happen though...

arsenal game is on the box for me

mike65

Quite well, could have had a hat-trick had his heading been a bit better/tougher

Pennant > Kuyt > Goal

Liverpool are meant to be good defensively, they look absolutely muck at the back.

Skrtel being out doesn't help and won't help. Agger, well - I just don't rate him. Defenders need to be good at defending first and foremost.

KUYT!!!!

~Marky~

Yessss Kuyt 3-2

Sherifu

Never in doubt

Irishpimpdude

Well, I quite like that you are leaking goals, because it means you HAVE to go out and attack, and liverpool are much better in attack than most people give them credit for, and we get nice results like this!

I would actually quite like if Liverpool won the league this year, it would be a nice change.

Kuyt ya fcuking legend!!!!!!!!

The 2-1-7 formation is the way forward.

Aye, would be awesome. Won't happen though.

shotamoose

I think Dirk must deliberately mis-hit his shots now, he never seems to score otherwise.

Agreed.

machiavellianme

Why did Zaki get man of the match?
He did nothing outside of those 2 goals, Dirk did as much if not more?

Jazzy

f**kin yes.
made my day.

He scored a brace against a top 4 team with a poor team? Gee I don't know.

Na liverpool are always a joy 2 watch... 2 comebacks in 2 matches and great comebacks at that

PHB

I still maintain my belief that Gerrard plays bad because likes it when Liverpool comes from behind cause of the drama

LuckyLloyd

Couple of quick thoughts:

- While the red card changed the game flow (inevitably) anyone who says it wasn't deserved need to rethink their position;
- Agger = ;
- Kuyt = ;
- That is five come from behind victories already this year - which is ****ing ridiculous given our history over the past few seasons (CL final aside);
- Still, calm the jets everyone. Loooooooooong way to go yet;

to be fair to agger he made the first goal.

Sherifu

Great stuff. Pool are delivering the drama this year.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Not good for the heart, though. Just once I'd like to see Liverpool wrap up a Premier League game befpre the 85th minute. Maybe next week....?

Again, if a center half is incompetent defensively I don't give a **** how many goals he creates.

prendy

another 3 points!!
not the best performance yet again but its the pts that matter!
kuyt is on fire at the moment, keane for me was very dissapointing.
Agger will be fine, the 90 mins will help. hopefully thats the nerves gone now start re kindling the partnership wit carra!
Riera was our best player i thought, always available and a threat on the wing. took his goal very weel too.
still joint top!
come on you reds!:D

Tusky

deja vu. Another 3-2 come back and another player sent off for tackling Alonso. Thats the 4th time this year someone has been sent off for fouling him!

but he's not incompetent defensively. He just made a mistake.

mike65

Agger is quality, he is understandibly rusty, remember how bad Hyypia was when he suddenly had to fill for Agger last season? It look him a good 4/5 games before he had shaken the rust.

Anyway, Liverpool must stop winning coming back from a goal down. Down with that sort of thing.

Alonso is a magnet for red cards.

Mike

PHB

Agger is young. I know people like to emphasise how good he is, but ultiamtely, he's a young CB. He's going to make some mistakes. It's just the way it is. Great prospect but you'll still get the odd mistake/games where something goes wrong.
