Liverpool Go Second

Liverpool FC joined ManScum in second place (behind only on goal difference and with one more game played.)

It was another tight games as they beat Scum city rivals Man City 1-0 (who had Liverpulian, Joey Barton send off in the first half). Rafa Benitez was far from happy about the win: "I am not happy with the final score. It was three important points but I like to see us score more goals because at only 1-0 we put ourselves under pressure.

"I always say you need to score the second goal and finish the game but we couldn't get it and that made us nervous. We didn't play at our level when they went down to 10 men and we made some mistakes. We did create some chances but we didn't take them. Morientes is playing really well outside the box and gives the team a lot of possibilities, but inside the box we need to finish and maybe sometimes be more selfish."

You can understand his frustration when once again a forward has failed to score and left it up to the midfield, thank God they're so good. You've got to wonder just what they would be capible of with a forward that can tuck away all the chances (let's hope Fowler can return to his best and do that.)

In other news ManScum won an unimportant game against the mighty team from Wigan. It was obviously important enough for Ronald and Neville to celebrate by fulfilling one of their homo-erotic dream! Other's chose to celebrate it another way.
