MotM - PL: Liverpool vs Arsenal | 28/11/04

[thierrys_girl]

Liverpool 2 - Arsenal 1

Arsenal goal scorer: Patrick Vieira

Beaten for the 2nd time this season Liverpool opened the scoring and held their lead until early in the season half when a goal made by Pires and Henry on the edge of the box was converted by Vieira. With seconds left Liverpool scored the winner and took all three points much to the delight of Moriniho, i bet.

Waking up at 3am was such a bad idea i only got 6 hours sleep and had to go to school for my Year 11 orientation

Anyway, the match is over now and the month of November is slowly comming to an end, which is always difficult month for our boys.

Ive been waiting for our bouncebackability since our defeat at Man Utd and it hasn't arrived so far but hopefully this will be a turning point and make the boys think about defending the title and not giving up on that dream of retaining that title.

MY MOTM: Ash Cole

Who was our MOTM? Whoever you reckon it was make sure you vote and leave a comment before Tuesday evening.

tg :?

 

[Spike]

Vieira, he was everywhere.

 

[kanuuu]

Vieira, despite the dive, he was awesome 2nd half.

 

[kazu]

voted for ljungberg, worked hard all game and managed to beat riise on several occasions.

notable mentions:
vieira - drives the team on and a fantastic goal. shame about the dive though.
fabregas - good distribution and comfortable on the ball.

 

[DannyGooner1982]

Paddy..back to his imperious best. But yeh that dive was bad.

 

[Mark]

Vieira had a mixed game. He gave the ball away a few times but he always won it back so it's difficult to judge. I give him my vote anyway as he scored a great goal and there wasn't anyone else particularly impressive.

 

[seanconvey66]

Vieira was immense yesterday

 

[seb_afc]

voted for sol. he didnt put a foot wrong. vieira for me had too poor a first half to be my motm

 

[sabret00the]

Paddy, we finally got our captain back, he was shouting, cleaning up, driving from within, he was a ****ing hero out there (me ignores the first half of the match completely)

 

[gash]

Vieira was fuggen diabolical in the first half and should have got a second yellow for that ridiculous dive. As it happens, if he was sent off he'd have been suspended for the Birmingham game but now he's going to miss the Chelsea game. Mellor's goal was spectacular but Vieira and Mellor initially challenged for the ball, it dropped behind them both but Mellor turned and ran on to it unchallenged by Vieira who never bothered to turn and chase. He did come good in the second half and definetely dragged us back into a game we never deserved to win but my MOTM was Ash Cole.

The geeezer put himself about, wasn't beaten and looked like our only threat whenever he got forward. The guy is always consistent and always gives it 100%.

If only we had 11 Ashley Coles out there in November.

 

[Ridge]

paddy for sure. if it wasnt him, we might lose more possession in the midfield.

 

[TIFANNY]

Vieira was good yesterday!

 

[Biggus]

voted for sol. he didnt put a foot wrong. vieira for me had too poor a first half to be my motm

Apart from failing to deal with that long ball to Kewell and costing us the game :?
I think Paddy is at last showing his commitment to us.

LOL!! Imagine if it was Gilberto and Cygan!

I watched a different game.

I saw Vieira give the ball away, a lot, and then try and get sent off. Not only that, he was just as much at fault for their winner, as anyone. My opinion is that the goal is masking a lot of views.

Thought it was a very poor performance, against an average side who just outfought us. Kolo, I guess. He's the only one I thought even had a good game, never mind Man of the Match.

 

[seb_afc]

yeah well said. pple even on this forum in the first half were saying how bad vieira was playing and then he scores a goal and all of a sudden hes a hero. i like patrick very much i just dont think hes playing to the best of his ability at the moment.

Watch it again if you get the chance -Long kick from kirkland to Kewell-Kolo and especially Sol as the "senior CB" should have sent it into row Z- crunch into each other and Kewell -total lack of decisiveness, confidance and communication.....
