Buzzing Babel

MU who?

Couldn't imagine how Anfield is rocking right now!!!!!

Watched by the much maligned Yanks owner, George Gillett, Liverpool produced a mighty performance to beat MU 2-1. Best performance of the season so far, without doubt.

At last, after 9 attempts, Rafa got it right this time. Deprived of Gerrard and Torres' services, the lads gave their all and simply blew MU off the park in the 2nd half.
MU took the lead thru Carloz Tevez as early as 4th minutes. How can Masch, so often the saviour didn't check his run? Perplexing, I'd say.

Van Der Sar gifted the equaliser and then Babel, on for debutant Riera scored the winning goal after some good work from the right by Masch and Kuyt.
Admittedly, he miscued his shot but fortunately the ball bounced over Ferdinand and Vidic.

Overall, it was solid stuff from all the players. Kuyt as usual missed a glorious chance to cement Liverpool's authority late on while leading. Keane tried too hard but to no avail, I'm sure he'll get one soon.
Riera justified his salary, few back heels here and there.

Need I say more? Nah...I'll savour the moment for now. Sweet....

Bring on Olympique Marseille next week!!!!!

Go on Reds
