All Square Again

It's 1-1 for the second consecutive match at the Eimerates Stadium. The result suit Liverpool fine but dealt a fatal blow to Arsenal's title aspiration. Crouch's goal meant Arsenal need to chase the game. In the end, Arsene Wenger was left frustrated aagain.


On the whole match, Liverpool could claim all 3 points if not for Voronin's poor composure in front of goal. Overall, I'm pleased with the Reds performance. The way Liverpool conceded the game was worrying. Reina was not commanding enough. The defence looked shaky at set pieces. I hope things will inprove this Wednesday.




Now onto the return leg of the Champion League. With no injuries to both teams, the return leg at Anfield could prove to be an intriging match. Both team season will depend on the Champion League. Arsenal should be out of the title race after today match. I should say Arsenal in a dangerous team now. Now that Arsenal are out of the title race, they will divert on their focus and energy into the Anfield game. Liverpool will well be very cautious.
Hopefully, the 12th man of Liverpool will spur them to their 3rd Champion League semi-final in 4 years. And I hope Chelsea will not win their 2nd leg and it would be a dream semi-final.
