Arsenal righted their ship while Liverpool’s ship is taking on so much water it is about to sink. You can almost stick a fork in Liverpool’s season after the Reds were defeated in their house Anfield by Arsenal 2-1.
Liverpool played a very strong first half. Dirk Kuyt ripped the rebound winner in the 41st minute to give Liverpool a 1-0 lead.
Aurelio hit a great free kick into the box. Lucas fired a header that was blocked by Arsenal keeper Almunia. The ball comes bounding out. Shot. Save. Rebound. Header. Goal.
The second half was a different story. The Gunners came out breathing fire. Arsenal played like their lives were dependant upon them winning.
It was.
Then wham bam thank you madam the match was spun around and changed on its head.
Nasri fired a great crossing ball into the box. Whamo. The ball goes flying off of Reds defender Jamie Carragher. Liverpool’s Glen Johnson is cemented to the spot. Bing. Bam. Boom. The ball ricochets off Johnson and into the Reds net to tie this baby up at one all in the 50th minute
Eight minutes later, 58th minute, Liverpool’s Glen Johnson was once again the main ingredient in the Gunners second goal. Fabregas fired a wicked cross into the box. Reds defender Glen Johnson failed to make a play on the ball. Johnson gave Arsenal attacker Andre Arshavin a free play on the ball.
Arshavin took the gift. He quickly turned. Arshavin fired. Goal. 2-1 Gunners and this was all she wrote.
The fat lady sang.
Now you can say Voce Vai Liverpool for your season is surely cooked and burnt to a crisp.
This was the Reds six loss for the season.
Liverpool’s only hope to save their sorry year is that if the top clubs Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal fall apart and lose their next four matches.
Stranger things have happened.
Do you remember what I said about Aston Villa and Manchester United?
I do have ESPN, I mean ESP.
They way it stands right now. Chelsea is the top dog with 37 points. The Red Devils are in second place with 34 points. Arsenal is in third position with 31 points. Villa is in fourth place with 29 points.
