The thought of King Kev & Co rising to the occasion at Anfield was banished in the last 5 minutes of the first half by an bizzare goal from Pennant and the irresistable scoring machine Torres. Gerrard wrapped the game in the 50th to made the score line 3-0 in a one-sided affair.
The Magpies were never allow time and space from the man in Red. The Newcastle players simply lost their direction and passion. They play each game hoping the season will end soon. Maybe the team consist of "has-been" such as Own, Duff, Butt, Smith and Duff. All these are quality players but somehow they are not playing to their standard.
On the other hand, Liverpool played like team on a mission. With Torres and Gerrard in fine form, it is hard to see Newcastle getting anything out of the game. Like what Rafa said "It was a perfect day".
With Inter in the San Siro in midweek, Liverpool can go into the game with confidence having won their last 5 matches and scoring 16 goals. Liverpool hold a 2-0 lead and will do well not to concede a early goal which will unsettle their nerve.
Having said that, I'm sure Liverpool will pass the Inter test and go through to the last 8 of the CL when they might face one of the English teams.
