Singing in the Rain

As utusanlfc said, the Reds love to do it the hard way. Always.
Conceded silly goals along the way but finally collect another 3 points.

As if by design, 3 tackles on Alonso, 3 red cards and 3 wins.

Liverpool's win today recorded many first. Riera scored his first goal, Kuyt managed to score in 3 consecutive matches also for the first time in his Liverpool career.

Thought defense was poor today. Even the normally dependable Carra was run ragged by Zaki. Agger, responsible for the 1st Wigan goal, made amend with that amazing run and cross for Kuyt's opener. How we missed Skrtel!!

With Chelsea routed Boro 5-0 earlier, it's do or die. Had we lost today, it could be disastrous with next week's visit to the Bridge.
We created many chances but made as many mistakes at the back. Living on the on the edge with Dossena looking shaky at times trying to halt Valencia's run on the right.
Likewise, Pennant was on song and roasted Figueroa left, right and center and fittingly it was him who set up Kuyt's winner.

What encouraging was how Benitez withdrew both fullbacks and sent in front players in search of the winner. That was bold. Amazing.

Sadly, Keane is still searching for his 1st EPL goal. Maybe he has taken Kuyt's mantle???
Maybe when Torres is back, pair him with Kuyt instead and start with Pennant. Maybe bench warming could do the trick for Keane. Who knows, kinda like sabbatical.

For now hats off to Kuyt, he has earned his right to sing in the rain.
