I'm really disappointed.
I trooped down to Brewerkz for the first EPL match of the season hoping to be waving my beer and jumping for joy at least twice when liverpool scores two goals, but to my absolute horror.... when I saw the starting lineup, I was flabbergasted. No Finnan, Alonso, Garcia, Crouch. Sigh. Perhaps Benitez did the right thing, resting them for the Champs League 2nd leg but STILL. It compounded matters further Riise and Carragher were subbed after awful tackles from Sheffield players. Now their defence was reduced to only 1 experienced Sami Hyypia. The rest were a bloody improvisation of Agger, Aurelio and Kromkamp. Really heartbreaking.
As for the Gerrard penalty, I was really incensed when I heard the guy behind me going "nahbeh dive somemore". It was NOT a dive. (a) Gerrard is NOT a diver (b) There was definite contact, no matter how slight. (c) Morgan was the LAST MAN and denied Gerrard a legitimate shooting opportunity. I felt like throwing my India Pale Ale on that guy who also added that Gerrard should have "broken his leg". FUCKER. So the penalty was correct, no doubt. Chris Morgan should thank his lucky stars for not being redcarded for being the last man.
Frowns. Maybe I should avoid watching matches at Brewerkz lol. I really am very passionate about my childhood team and I guarantee you I'll put up a good fight should anyone attempt to discredit them (BEN! YOU POOP.). Oh and India Pale Ale is vvvv bitter. 700ml was more than enough thankyou.
