I’m not going to just expose you to this without some kind of buffer. This match was insane:
- After looking terrible since 2011, Liverpool was up two within 16 minutes, Maxi Rodríguez apparently intent on replicating last spring’s returns. Then,
- Doni, Liverpool’s second-choice `keeper (Pepe Reina’s suspended) got a red card in the 26th minute, leading to
- Yakubu mistaking his penalty kick for a chance to play a slow pass to Brad Jones. But,
- the Yak responded with two goals, including
- a penalty kick near the hour-mark awarded after Jones
- temporarily adopted tetherball rules when he could have caught a blocked clearance, then
- offering to become the second Liverpool `keeper to be dismissed by pushing Yakubu in the box (the offer was declined). Finally
- Andy Carroll ended the game by heading home the winner, giving 10-man Liverpool three points (and three goals) in a match where
- Kenny Dalglish didn’t use Luis Suarez or Steven Gerrard.
Yeesh.
Also fun, Kenny Dalglish’s post match interview, where he can’t be bothered to pay attention for a full two minutes:
