Our injuries and suspensions may very well define the rest of our season, I’m afraid. I really hope I’m wrong about that. This seemed to be another one of those games that we were controlling and would put away near the end. But the Rovers pulled one of our own moves on us. I suppose the Scousers are laughing this up. Now we also know what it’s like to be bounced from two competitions in a week.

Heartbreak. The EPL is my main concern, but it would have been nice to take the first silverware of the year. And, dont even get me started on the whole red card fiasco. Eboue lost that game for us. And, Adebayor was wrongly given red. Perhaps yellow for behaviour was in order, but not red.
