11.16 – Right, now I’ve had a decent night’s sleep in my own bed and gotten over the pants wetting turbulence we encountered flying into Barcelona, some thoughts on last night.
We are a top, top side. No matter what the result, you can see which team out there is capable of winning the league, and which team doesn’t even come close to the required standard. The fact that Liverpool were celebrating a point at home says it all.
Seaman had a really good game, and it seems his form is like that of the club over the last few years – much better in the second half of the season. Cygan did well. He looked sharp, good in the air, could have scored a goal, and while I still reserve judgement on the big baldy, I am more encouraged by his performance than I thought possible. Don’t go baking those humble pies yet though. I think Oleg should get a run at right back, Lauren was a bit poo last night and most of Liverpool’s dangerous moments came down our right.
Anyone watching on Sky see the niggling between Niall Quinn and David O’Leary? Quinner was surprisingly pro-Liverpool in his outlook while O’Leary, in fairness to him, was gutted about the last minute equaliser. You could see on his face how much he hated it. Don’t know why Niall Quinn was so pro-Scousers though. So, a couple of extra marks and a gold star to O’Leary, and it’s 6 of the best for Quinn. Remember who you used to play for Niall?
