Kuyt 1 Crouch 1 Kepa 1

I woke up at 330 in the morning to catch the match live on ESPN. It was a bore in the first half as I was comtemplating of not watching the 2nd half to catch up on my much deprieved sleep. 10 seconds into the 2nd half, Crouch nodded down the ball for Kuyt to hit one unstoppable shot off the crossbar and into the net. Being late or early in the wee hours in the morning, I raised my fist to celebrate without a sound. It was a brilliant goal for Kuyt. His best to date in a Liverpool shirt. Before Alan Curbishley could realize what did he not say right during the half time break, Alonso, Gerrard, Riise and Crouch combined to score one of the most beautiful pass and move goals you will ever see. It was total domination from then on. Ripping apart their defence at will. We should have made it safe by scoring the third.

Then, on-loan Sevilla striker Kepa Blanco chose to score 90 seconds into his debut. West Ham improved and we looked edgy towards the finishing line. Nevertheless, we won and 3 more important points as we hunt down Chelsea who is only 2 behind although with a game in hand.

It would be Merseyside derby this Saturday. Let's go and chew the toffees into bits and pieces. I would love us to trash them just for revenge but a win would do for me. Let's conserve our energy and hit Barcelona when they least expect it.

Anyone saw Rafa fell when trying to retrieve the ball from the touchline? I love this man. He is real. He is our Rafa! Come on, Rafa's Redmen! We can do it. You'll Never Walk Alone!
