absolutely gutted..can't believe this is happening to our great club.
At the start of the match, I thought Rafa has put out a pretty decent lineup here, with the exception of Stevie not being on the ground. I really felt during the match, that we battered them..chance after chance went begging. When was the ball ever going to go in the back of the net? Then Kuyt, scored finally, I was so happy for him and I thought here we go, the floodgates are going to open for him and for us. I yelled at Kuyt through the tv, Kuyt you scored because for once you were in the fcukin box...that's where you gotta be all the friggin time.
As the game wore on, I just kept getting that bad feeling that if they level it we're going to have a real fight to stay in the tie...it's just the way things have been going for us in the last few months, that made me feel this way. So of course they score, firstly because Riise gave whoever the fcuk it was the space and time on that flank to get the cross in the first place...he really should have closed him down, but no he let him get the cross in and then one against 3 defenders and the fcukin 1 wins.....
1-1
To make matters worse, Rafa then decides to take Ryan off and replace him with Harry. No probs with Harry being on the field, but why the fcuk Rafa didn't take Benayoun off and either replace him with Pennant or push HK out left and bring RB out to the right is beyond me. Sometimes, I just wish Rafa would fcukin log on to this site and read what we have to say, he might learn someting, from us the fans.
The inevitable was always going to happen in stoppage time, their fans going of their heads spurring them on but when their second one flew in, I actually thought for a second the ref, had blown the whistle just prior to the shot as I thought
he was going to pull Xabi(who I thought had a fantastic match until Lucas decided to take him out
) up for a handball just outside the box as he was trying to clear the ball out of defense. I thought we stopped for a second, thinking that he blew his whistle, the only problem was that Barnsley didn't and next thing you know the balls in the back of the net and they're celebrating
I can't believe that their keeper played an absolute blinder, what is it with goalies doing so well at Anfield, they seem to grow into 10 feet giants when they play at Anfield and stop almost everything,
As usual spot on Cas, before I read all 7 pages, I was going to write the same thing.. I just don't get it....how many times have we seen it in the past, a keeper comes to our ground and plays the game of his fcukin life. They never do it against the scum, the arse or Chelski but they do it against us and they become instant heroes and the next day they're all over the headlines but after that you never hear of them again, unless of course they come to Anfield again and usually it's with a different club.
Fcuk, I'm pissed off, just roll on Tuesday and for the fans sake, I hope it's a whole fcukin lot better, I hate not being able to read the paper the day after a match or watch any of the sports news.
