With Alonso, Gonzalez, Sissoko and Pennant all on the sidelines fans were wondering what the team would be.Rafas solution was Agger at left back with Riise in front of him.Gerrard back in the middle with Zenden and Garcia as the wide men.Crouch started upfront with Kuyt.This was an attacking line up alright and we had lots of posession but a lack of quality again upfront was nearly our undoing.If we had of lost it would have been undeserved but not a surprise.
Gerrard brushes off Thatcher as his first premiership goal speeds into the net!It wasnt till the 68th minute that the City defence was unlocked. A loose ball by Dunne of all people let in Gerrard to strike unerringly from just outside the box.Looking at this strike you wondered why he had a problem all season. Maybe thats the end of that.Fowler came on in the second haldf as did Pennant whose knock earlier in the week proved to be not as serious as first thought.Two or three goals should really have been scored but still it is a win and three points so lets make the most of it.We have some good games coming up..Portsmouth at Anfield next week then Wigan...away..more great chances to get back in the top four!!
