football weekend
The Birmingham-Liverpool match was a drag. Benitez of course saved his better players for the second leg of Champions League semifinal against Chelsea. I’m all for that. What seemed left on the pitch though were a bunch of disinterested players who couldn’t care less whether they win or lose. All the Reds could manage on the first half was a failed attempt from Peter Crouch to score a goal.
It didn’t help that Riise was also on the line up. Yeah yeah he made one (really idiotic) mistake (at a very crucial time in this entire season) and everyone makes mistakes and he should be given another chance blah blah blah but I’m still sore about that f’ed-up header so forgive me if I don’t want to see him playing too soon. Liverpool picked up in the second half, scoring two goals to get a draw, but by then I was more interested in the scab on my big toe than in their humdrum performance. And I couldn’t take any more of Voronin. It’s torture to watch him play.
