Arsenal vs Liverpool
2nd April 2008 - Champions League QF Leg 1 - Emirates Stadium This is the first of a trilogy of matches against the Scousers with the league match sandwiched between the two legs of our Champions League QF. We need to win all 3 matches but Liverpool can afford to lose on the weekend as there title challenge ended in September, as per usual. This luxury, along with the second league being at Anfield makes Liverpool favourites to qualify and means that we really need a convincing win tonight to be in with a shout. The line up is strong: Manuel Almunia Kolo Toure Philippe Senderos Gael Clichy William Gallas Cesc Fabregas Mathieu Flamini Emmanuel Eboue (Nicklas Bendtner 67) Alexander Hleb Emmanuel Adebayor Robin Van Persie (Theo Walcott 46) It's good to have our star striker RVP back in the staring line up to after he has been plagued by injury so much this season. A quick summary of the match is: Arsenal start well and take the lead in the 24th Minute when Adebayor heads home after the ball is whipped in following a short corner between RVP and Cesc. 3 minutes later we let a stupid goal in when Gerard is allowed to make an unchallenged run into our box and his touchline cross is bundled into our net by Kuyt (although it looked to me like it came off Clichy). We are the better team for the rest of the match but can’t get the second goal. There should have been an Arsenal penalty too when Kuyt blatantly pulls down Hleb in the area but the Referee who was 10 feet away gives a corner kick instead. For the conspiracy mongers amongst us, the Referee is from the same small town in Holland as Kuyt. So, the match ends 1-1 meaning that we must score at Anfield next week. Easy! |
