Liverpool 2 v Boro 1 - Lucky Lucky Liverpool!

I'm speechless after watching the game. Drama is the word to describe the match.


Boro came to Anfield with a bad record having not won for more than 2 decades. Many would predict a comfortable victory for Liverpool but Boro came with a game plan. To deny Liverpool space and take the game to Liverpool.

Alonso was pathetic with his corner kicks, Gerrard was very quiet and Torres was not allowed to play. Keane was slightly better but not that good. Boro central defenders were able to deal with every high balls to their box. There was no wing play from Liverpool showing the need to bring in wingers. All the play was confided to the centre. Liverpool struggled to get the stronghold of the game. They hardly find any joy playing Boro today.

After Mido gave Boro a shocked lead in the 70th minute, it seems Liverpool was heading to a feat at home until Jamie Carragher deflected shot gave Liverpool a undeserved equalized. The game was heading for disappointing draw when Gerrard place the ball past Boro's keeper to send the Anfield faithful into esctasy. It was virtually the last kick of the game. The time was 93 minute. Alonso hooked a high hopeful ball into Boro's box but was not fully cleared by David Wheater. The ball dropped into path of Gerrard who placed his shot perfectly beyond the keeper much to the relieve and delight of the supporters and players.



It was joy for the Reds but heartbreak for Southgate's side. After 2 victories from 2 games, the Reds top the table for at least 2 hours depending on the Arsenal - Fulham game. However Liverpool has not look convincing these 2 games. Much improvement has to be made if they are to challenge the likes of Chelsea and Man Utd.


If Liverpool struggle against the likes of Sunderland and Boro, what chance do the Reds have against Man Utd and Chelsea. Unless and until Liverpool show more ruthless in their play, the title will elude them again this season.
