LIVERPOOL 2, MANCHESTER UNITED 0 !
Yeah, I saw this match, touted the fiercest rivalry in British football. It pleases me to see The Reds snap their 4-match losing streak, their worst record in 22 years. The majority of fans who witnessed it at the restaurant in this do-or-die game for Rafa Benitez were always in support of Liverpool. And when Torres scored the first goal, the whole restaurant erupted in joyful cheers. Of course the minority Red Devils' fans got silenced and their misery were compounded when Ngog clinically scored the second goal for the Reds. Liverpool did not seem to miss their influential midfielder, Steven Gerrard, who was out with injury. Anyway, Rafa got his formation correct playing 4-2-3-1, with Torres playing an out and out striker. The first half had its share of incidents and I must say, throughout the match, the referee did make some dubious decisions. Sir Alex Ferguson was fuming mad when a clear penalty did not get awarded by the man in black. Sorry, Fergie. Towards the end of the match, both Nemanja Vidic and Javier Mascherano got their marching orders after collecting two yellow cards. It made little difference because The Reds were already coasting to a hard-fought victory at Anfield. I hope Liverpool can do the double over Manure this season, again. Way to go Reds. YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE!!!
