There's not really much you can say about that, i've just been watching the 40 min LFCtv highlights again and i'm exhausted despite knowing what was going to happen!
Massive, massive credit to the 10 lads who were out there after Doni got sent off, and the subs. My sympathy goes out to Doni who looks devastated, but it really wasn't his fault. Clumsy? yeah a little, but then it's only his second ever start for us. Sympathy for Flanno who'd had a shocker and i'm sure has apologised to Doni for the poor backpass. But, other than that, I thought the lads were a massive, massive credit to the club and the brilliant travelling fans.
The first goal was classic. Andy takes it down, protects it in our own 18 yard box, gives it to Skrtel who biffs it what, 70 yards, pretty much inch perfect for Bellamy who then dissects Blackburn like they were a chelsea defense with a glorious ball to Maxi who i'm sure we'd all like to have seen more of this season.
Second goal, the Dunn was stitched up like a kipper by Jonjo who drives at the heart of the blackburn defense, scuffs his shot a bit, andy can't get there but the ball pops up to maxi for a clinical left foot finish. It's 2-0, it's only about 18 mins gone, woooo we're the shit!
Then the sending off. Then that penalty. Let's be honest, it's one of the worst ever, or at least this season, but fuck it, i was so made up for Brad with that save, in fact so much so that i'll let him off the other whoopsie moment for the second penalty. Their second goal it was a soft free kick for a handball from bellamy who should know better, to be fair, brilliant ball from dunn, shocking marking form us and easy as for the fat purple aki.
The less said about their second the better. Jones takes too long to clear, his yakubu's fat arse and then instead of catching it, he palms it down and takes yukubu out. I can only think that it must have been the rain...or something. Anyhow I was delighted that it was only a yellow as this season reds have been given for far less, another shit peno from fatty but still it goes in. Oh dear, we don't deserve this shit and when does the season end?
Then the lads dug oh so fucking deep. That winner is one of
those moments. Kinda felt like a massive, massive release to me. Thought Andy deserved it too, as he had a really good game despite being very isolted.
MOTM - Jordan "fuck me i'll never stop running" Henderson for me. Busted about 100 guts playing at right back and really put himself about for the team like a fucking boss.
Get.The.Fuck.In.
Bet the bitters are shitting themselves now
