Rampant Reds!

So says the headline on the BBC sport website following the 3-0 victory in Eindhoven this evening. Professional and classy performance against a very poor looking PSV team, 3 good goals which included another header from Crouch (4 goals in the last 2 games now from him including 2 headers - needs to break his nose and have a couple of weeks off more often!), a stormer of a volley from Riise, and a header from Gerrard (makes him Liverpool's highest ever European Cup goalscorer overtaking Ian Rush - 1 of my all time hero's). The way the two teams played you'd have thought Liverpool were at home not away - certainly sounded like that as 'Fields of Anfield Road' and 'You'll Never Walk Alone' dominated the noise from the crowd in the 2nd half! Can't believe that we were playing the same team that knocked Arsenal out in the last round! Only downside was serious sounding achilles injury to Fabio Aurelio - sounds like he's going to be out of action for a long time. Still though, great result to follow on from the demolition of Arsenal at the weekend!

At the end of the game David Pleat, 1 of the ITV commentators made me laugh saying that Liverpool had had an easy run because of the teams we'd played in the group stages and then getting PSV and that the real work would have to start when we go on to play Chelsea or Valencia in the next round (assuming we don't get hammered 4-0 at Anfield by PSV in the return leg!). What a stupid comment to make! Did he just forget that we had knocked Barcelona, supposedly the best team in the world as well as defending champions out in the previous round?

Now sat keeping an eye online to see if Ireland can pull off another shock in the Cricket World Cup against the South Africans - but not looking likely now. Looking forward to going to watch a bit of the England v Sri Lanka game tomorrow, though not holding out a great deal of hope for England.
