I thought he had a great game.
I can't believe Gerrard started on the right flank,we are talking losing potential bombers and not have good service to Torres and Crouch.
Could not believe they would starve Barbel of the ball when he came on, eventually he latched on to it and the rest is history.
Now people understand as good as Crouch is he has no right to be The starter?

Agreed. Crouch cannot expect to be on the pitch in front of Torres. However, he was troublesome for them today. The game was very well played for Liverpool once they scored. They got caught trying to kill off the game on the Arsenal counter attack but showed great character in coming back. Very very well done by the Reds. Arsenal played great football and I would be the first to say that it may be a very different result had they had Eduardo and Rosicky available to them.

The hand we are given...that unfortunately we had to play!
Flamini's injury and his having to leave was a gut wrenching blow! May have been the real turning point in the game.

...but for me the big missed opportunity was not taking off Adebayor and putting on Bendtner. Adenbayor was just not up to it. He played like a weakling...and gave away the ball much too often.

Karl, yuh talking bout the same Adebayor that made the game 2-2?
