2-1, Premier League, Anfield, 13/12 -09
Johnson (og) 50,
Arshavin 58
What is the shit between Liverpool and Andrey!? He's made the difference once again, with a bloody brilliant shot as well!!
I can't put the feelings to words.. This one little Russian has now kept us in the title-race!! And the reason I say this is cause Chelsea only managed a draw at home against Everton while United lost at home against Villa (who we'll be facing the 27th), so we're back in it!!
To be more precise we are 3 points behind United, with one game in hand, and 6 points behind Chelsea, so with this one game in hand, we are looking strong in the title-race even though there has been a dip in form recently, but now we're back strongly! This was quite some moral booster!!
Back to this one game though, we weren't good in the first, and Dirk Kuyt was able to make it 1-0 in the 41st minute, after a bad clearing from Almunia.
But in the second half (after some shouting from Wenger according to Cesc and Thomas Vermaelen, they said it in a interview just after the game) we really responded with great attitude and Walcott caused the equaliser, he made a great run, causing trouble for Johnson who got a leg in the ball and it slowly rolled in! Talk about luck!! (but I think it was totally fair for us to get some luck since we haven't had much luck in the past weeks).
The second, though, was pure sheer class from a certain Andrey Arshavin, he collected Fabregas' cross and just went for it, and the ball hit the post and went in!! Since it was in the 58th minute and Arsenal aren't the ideal defensive team, so I can hardly say that I expected us to keep it at 2-1! But we did, and now things are looking bright!!
Injury Update:
-Traore hobbled off in the 87th minute, don't know yet if it is serious though.. Hopefully not..
-Eduardo was back, but an unused substitute since we didn't really need a striker after the 58th..
-Diaby was also back and he got his chance in the 70th minute, replacing Theo for some physical presence.
