Liverpool 4-0 Fulham

I hang my head in shame for I have temporarily abandoned my Reds. I know, I know. You can never be a true supporter if you haven’t been there for them through the bad times and I fully intended to cheer them on but I sorta have personal problems of my own. Not that it can compare to that whore of a Mrs. Gerrard but still, it’s a problem that occupies most of my thoughts nowadays. The Dad was nice enough to remind me (while I was washing tons of feeding bottles) that the Liverpool-Fulham game was on. I almost didn’t want to watch, knowing that they might’ve been a little depressed coming back from the Champions League match against Galatasaray. But I was in for a lovely, lovely surprise.

Gerrard (54′)

Ah, where he should always be, blazing a trail for the Reds to follow. Dear Skipper, I love you so.

 

Carragher (60′)

Not only is there the promise of hundreds of millions of pounds of investment coming into the club but – far rarer than that – Liverpool supporters yesterday could celebrate the appearance of Jamie Carragher’s name on the scoresheet, his close-range conversion representing his first League goal in almost eight years and just his third in a shade over 300 League games. ‘His first goal of the century,’ beamed Rafa Benitez. – Football Guardian

Premiership Weekend Winner: As his last Premiership goal occurred in the previous century, against Southampton in January 1999 to be precise, Carragher now holds the Liverpool club record of the longest period between league goals. – Football365

 

 

Garcia (66′)

Don’t you just want to see him suck his thumb some more?

 

Gonzales (90′)

Intense, dude. But hot.

Liverpool 3-0 Tottenham Hotspur

And again, we find a much-needed three points over the weekend which takes Liverpool from the bottom eight into the top half.

Bellamy may be going through some personal frustration as he waits to add to the solitary Champions League qualifying round strike against Maccabi Haifa that signalled an ideal start to his Anfield career but one he hasn’t been able to build on.

Against Spurs he had a simple tap-in after some mesmerising wing work from Steven Gerrard teed him up, but could only hit the post. While relieved to see Gonzalez follow up and make the miss irrelevant, it clearly wasn’t to Bellamy, whose reluctance to join his team-mates’ party by the corner flag was soon snapped out of him by Kuyt’s words of encouragement.

Teamwork at its best. After all, Bellamy’s blunder didn’t affect the most important issue of Liverpool getting the platform they needed to make victory against their unambitious visitors a formality from that point.
