Comeback kings
Sunday, 05 October 08, 09:30 PM
Rafa will not be happy tonight. Yes we won before staging a stunning second half comeback, we allowed city to establish
a two goal lead at half time. That is a cardinal sin according to the gaffa.We were fairly shit in the first half and made some stupid defences mistakes to enable Ireland and Garrido to score. Pepe will be pissed off with himself for the free kick he conceded at the near post. It was doom and gloom at Eastlands when the half time oranges were being consumed. I expect that some journos were getting their pieces ready about Liverpool's title challenge only lasting until October. Alas for them, Torres and Kuyt had something to say. Three second half goals means that we're still joint top of the table. That was stirring stuff. El Nino looks to be regaining his form after a sluggish start. I'm very happy to see Dirk get the winner. He get so much stick that it's great to see him score a winner and get some praise. I love the guy but there are games against the weaker teams when I don't think he's needed. It's been a good week for him though. Could this be true?
Riera had a good match. He looked dangerous on the left and caused the city defence lots of problems. Poor Marty Skrtel was taken off injured with his leg in a brace. He landed awkwardly on it and was in fierce pain when he fell and stayed down. It would have to be serious to keep Skrtel out of the line of fire. The upside is that we should get to see more of Dagger playing if Skrtel is out for some time.
Speaking of our great dane, Real want Agger according to sky who are picking up on a story in the UK press. Ballague discusses the rumours on his website and reckons that it's not cut and dry.
After the international we'll face Wigan who are doing well so far this year. I assume Skrtel will be out. Any chance of Degan being back soon? Slim. Let's hope we don't pick up anymore international injuries.
Chelsea are being linked with the newest of new Zidanes, a player we've been linked to in the past.
Aldo is worried about the American owners. Me too John. Parry says the stadium is being delayed due to credit crunch. The worst part is that I fear we'll be stuck with these jokers in charge for the foreseeable future.

sweet result thats for sure, i think the heart and steel and determination which has been there in the cl has finally transferred to the league and i think we'll make a real stab at it this year. torres has played below par and yet is gettin the goals kuyt is a hero in my opinion scores lots of important goals
