Gutted

Well, I am still trying to recover from our disappointing loss on Saturday to ManEww.
To have truly dominated the whole game and not come away with three points, much less one was really a heart breaker.
I'll admit, we did have our chances and just simply did not put them away. Bellamy ran rampant over Vidic and made the Serb look like he was in grammar school. Riise should've hammered home a free kick if Gonzo hadn't toe-poked it so hard. Sissoko was ineffective which made Alonso and Gerrard even, track back on defense too many times. The fact that it wasn't until Pennant came on in the 65th min that Gerrard was finally able to play in his preferred role in the middle, and I think that hurt us. While he is undeniably a tremendous player anywhere on the pitch I think having him out wide for most of the game caused him to not think as offensively as he usually does.

Also, I was surprised to see such a strong team out there Saturday given the importance of the match versus Barca tomorrow. I mean, i know it was Manchester, our bitter rivals, but realistically there is more at stake in Europe this season than in the league.

Here's hoping our hearts will be strong on Tuesday even if our legs aren't 100%. While I do think it will be hard for Barca to win two goals clear at the fortress that is Anfield, with Eto'o back in the fray we can't rest on our laurels.
