Red Army Marches On

Currently listening to: Homecoming, Kanye West

"To win is always good but to win in this way with the passion and commitment of the players is even better"
Those were the words said by our manager Mr Rafa Benitez.
With the EPL back, my weekends just got busier again. It is the time of the year again, the beginning of a new season and optimism that Liverpool might just go on and challenge for the title.
So, after last week's Sunderland victory, the Reds open their home campaign against Middlesbrough. The first half was rather disappointing with us not fulfilling our full potential. I myself only got to tune in to the 2nd half due to the olympics.
2nd half was much better when we started controlling the game. Here's a shot of our number 7, robbie keane taggling with Mido.



The team in blue and black stripes surged ahead with a superb Mido long range strike 20 mins from time which gave our number 25, Pepe Reina now chance. With our keeper beaten to his left, all liverpool fans were kept on tenterhooks. me as always was cursing but i noe some 'tree' by the name of gan is rejoicing.
The revival begin when our number 23, jamie Carragher struck a venomous drive which took a deflection of Emmanuel pogatetz into the Boro net. Here's our vice captians celebration.



Hooray..but I wasn't satisfied with a home draw and so does millions of fans around. As we continued to press for a winner, it finally came.
A hopeful lob into the box deep into injury timeby our numver 14, Xabi alonso found Keane as he casually cushioned his header into the path of our unmarked captian, number 8, Steven Gerrard and he done what was expected of him. A superb angled strike. Lucky? Kai? i don't think so. these are the stuff of champions.Grinding out results when we are not at our best. As for now, we are top of the league table. Hopefully we can stay there. Come on Reds!!



Number 19, Ryan Babel trying to sit on someone's ass on air. Cool right? haha
