SAFC - Tingling in my underpants

Major Major · 14th August 2011, 02:02 AM

There have been many false dawns at Roker and the SOL. But I am tingling this morning and that has nothing to do with the state of my underpants. Liverpool were on fire in the first 20 and not many teams would have held on. We did with a bit of luck and grit and thereafter were easily their match. It's all been said, but Brown was immense. Ferdy and Bardo did well too, and Rico after an uncomfortable half did well after the break. Larsson was excellent, he was so pissed off to put that free kick over the bar. I was sure he was going to score, as I think was he!

Colback had a very good second half. I thought Catts looked lost in the first half, totally ineffective. But credit to the lad, he got stuck in and finally used his brain in the 2nd half. Never gave them a moment's rest. Elmo had one of his best games, a couple of great crosses in first half, the goal cross...and was up and down the right wing like a good's.

Sess was a bit infuriating. He beat them at will, made space for himself, but his shooting was woeful. another day. Gyan was on his own mostly, fought hard, and will do better. Ji looked promising in his half-hour.

PLUS the quality we had on the bench. Vaughan will be class, hopefully Gardiner too. O'Shea etc. Wickham to get the winner against the Scum?

It's a good sunday morning here in Thailand!

Yes, after your pre-match trapidation MM, your summation is pretty much about spot on. Brown was tremendous, Larssons technique for the goal was sublime, but the effort and endeavour in the 2nd half to completely nulify Liverpool was very encouraging to see.

In previous years, we'd have been petrified to take the field for the 2nd half after being smashed early on, but we seem to have matured quickly! Long may it continue.

Richardson worries me still, and hopefully O'Shea regains fitness for the game against the barcodes.

Sanook!

Agree with most of that. Bit harsh on Sess, thought he caused them a lot of problems - quality player IMHO. Snatched at a couple of shots mind. All in all very happy with the way we fought back and then controlled the game. cant see many teams doing that at Anfield this season.
