There's always been something about the Liverpool games that makes me dread them. Firstly there was the period in the late 70s/early 80s when you were never likely to win and they would play pass back to the keeper all day before Rush scored a winner. More recently they have played dull football and yet we never seem to beat them as often as we would like and the Liverpool centric pundits would always harp on about how it's good for the game if Liverpool challenge for the title. So I've never really enjoyed these games and today was no exception.

We took the lead in a fairly scrappy and hectic first half, saw Keane lunge in on Clichy (which could have seen him sent off but being Liverpool there was no chance of that), defended badly to concede and then saw Adebayor sent off for two innocuous challenges. However, since Liverpool looked the more likely victors when we had 11 men on the field it was good to see the passion and commitment (so often missing this season) when we were reduced to 10. I'd love too think it will galvanise us for the Villa game but I'm not holding my breath!

Let's now wait and see what ex-Liverpool players such as Hansen and Lawrenson say about the sending off on MOTD!
