70. Corner to Brighton

SRAWL · « **Reply #162 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:17:37 pm »

Would like to see a change or two for Liverpool. We really need someone in there to grab the game back for us. We seem to be allowing Brighton all the possession.

70. Brighton's corner goes straight over for a throw in

Either Maxi is having a very quiet game or he's reserving all his work for when I'm typing.

See what pushing the defensive line up does? Brighton so much better 2nd half. We need to do the same against technically better sides than us.

Agreed. Brighton have been much better and this has played no small part. However I wonder how tired some of our players are? Kelly coming back from injury, Suarez and Lucas have been doing plenty of travelling and played a tough game against Spurs. They all look tired. I would rest Suarez although maybe he wants to stay on and try to get a goal.

Corkboy · « **Reply #166 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:19:05 pm »

One of the Brighton centre halves just controlled a long pass and passed back, all in one move without the ball hitting the deck. These boys aren't afraid to play.

Stevie is getting his kit off (ooer!).

Stevie finally getting ready to come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BabuYagu · « **Reply #170 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:19:45 pm »

Gerrard will be coming on. I will guess for Luis or Lucas.

Corkboy · « **Reply #171 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:20:23 pm »

Free kick in Bellamy range. 40 yards out, in other words.

WorldChampions · « **Reply #172 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:20:41 pm »

73. Free kick to us on the edge of the box. Suarez hits the wall and out for a corner

BabuYagu · « **Reply #173 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:20:57 pm »

Luis wins his 4th free kick of the evening, leading Bellamy who is on 3.

Brighton's keeper looks like a 45 year old postman. Seems to have some good reactions though!

74. From the corner Coates gives away a foul for tanking into someone.

Gerrard on for Suarez

SRAWL · « **Reply #176 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:21:42 pm »

Suarez off Gerrard on. Gus Poyet waving to all his players to get back and defend

SRAWL · « **Reply #177 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:23:18 pm »

76 - Noone smacks another good cross in, but Carra gets to it before Smith and heads it away.

Corkboy · « **Reply #178 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:23:29 pm »

Lucas, Gerrard and Spearing doing a rotating triangle in the middle.

We're like fine wine, us keepers - the older we get, the better we seem

Sparrow off for Lua Lua and Navarro off for Barnes

BabuYagu · « **Reply #181 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:24:50 pm »

Gerrard is making his first appearance since 6 March 2011 v Manchester United. Only his 8th game in all of 2011!

Corkboy · « **Reply #182 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:24:56 pm »

61% possession to Brighton this half.

79 Gerrard puts in a good run down the left and then gets penalised for the Brighton player pushing against him and falling over......Stevie tells the ref where to go...rightly so. Poor decision.

WorldChampions · « **Reply #185 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:26:00 pm »

We need a second sharpish

SRAWL · « **Reply #186 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:27:33 pm »

81 - Lua Lua runs down the left and gets fouled by Kelly....free kick is given.....drilled low and it gets to Gerrard....

WorldChampions · « **Reply #187 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:27:41 pm »

YES! KUYT!!!! 2 nil, game over!

Bellamy with some good hold up play, Maxi got up in support quickly and then laid it off to Kuyt who finished well. Customary baby in cot celebration too.

SRAWL · « **Reply #188 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:27:54 pm »

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL KUYT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bellamy gets the ball and runs towards the Brighton defence...passes to Maxi......Maxi passes on to Kuyt.....looked too heavy, but Kuyt manages to fire a low and direct ball into the low left post and rebounds in.

BabuYagu · « **Reply #189 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:28:02 pm »

Brighton score most of their goals in the final 15 minutes of games. 4 of their 11 goals this season have come in the final 15.

Kuyt just makes that irrelevant!

Corkboy · « **Reply #190 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:29:16 pm »

Bellamy pulled a defender way left and knocked it square for Maxi and Kuyt, one to t'other and a neat sort of finish across the keeper and dribbles inside the left hand post.

BabuYagu · « **Reply #191 on:** September 21, 2011, 09:29:39 pm »

Dirk Kuyt v Brighton.
4 shots, 4 on target, 1 goal.

84 - Brighton fans booing Gerrard and Kuyt.......Gerrard manages a good back heel. Have to say that he is looking spritely!

85 - Brighton win a free kick on the side of the box........ball goes to Vicente, but Gerrard gets to it.

86 - Kelly off for Flanno.

If he had longer we might be 7-up.

87 - Carra wins a foul as Brighton nearly manage to run onto a good through ball. Noone is called as MOTM - well deserved.
