Well just got back from the match.
Frustrating, I think most people would agree to that performance, but 3 points is 3 points and keeps our winning streak going.
We certainly needed a third goal today to kill off Reading, but alas it was not meant to be, but a solid performance from the defence and keeper ensured us of the win.
There goal was an absolute stonker.
A cross field pass at the edge of the area (from a free kick if I remember rightly), was met by Matejovsky. It was one of those shots you know straight away where it was going. A beauty. Reina had no chance as the ball flew into the top corner of the net. Defo one of the best goals at Anfield this season. Every credit to the lad, and most Liverpool supporters even clapped that goal.
We still gave them chances even at 1 - 0 down, but in the end quality possession and better players got us through.
Our first goal, and what another great strike, from of all people - Mascherano
Took the ball on, and ran towards the Kop goal before unleashing an unstoppable 20 yarder into the net.
I think he enjoyed it aswell !! Probably had been listening to those cock-eggs on Soccer sports
That took us to half time, but we still had the feeling of more Liverpool goals to come.
Our second, and Torres' 20th in the league was a cracking header down at the Anfield Road end.
Gerrard flighted in a free kick, to which Torres met perfectly and headed passed Hannaman in goal for Reading.
Babel, playing well, had a few chances, but seemed to be wanting to break the net with ever effort. But he was unlucky with a couple that stung there keepers hands.
Torres, for the first time, losing his temper at one of there heavy footed defenders - he just got up after another ill timed clout from the back and stormed after the defender.
To be honest the referee was poor for both sides, giving no protection early on.
Skrtyl also lost his temper just the once, but the Reading player soon backed away near the half way line. Skrtyl is now becoming well settled in the defence, and proved to be a crowd favourite, as had was dumped into the Kop in the second half, he just received a bit of treatment, then stormed back onto the field.
Man of the Match - in my eyes Mascherano.
I think that goal meant a lot to him, and he just runs and runs winning just about every tackle going.
One thing to note though, was the stewards being job's worths in the Kop.
A few supporters were removed from the ground after not sitting in there seats whilst chanting the new Torres song.
The Kop replied with - 'Get the stewards out the Kop'
