Yeah Tom is close, the referee decided before kickoff that our grey shorts and socks would be to confusing against Arsenal’s white shorts and socks so being the away team we had to change.

extremely late comment on the shorts question (i actually visited here because i was wondering if anyone had a final answer)…

UEFA rules state that each team must provide two kit options per game and it is left 100% the referee’s discretion if the color matching would provide conflict for the teams to play one another. perhaps our light color shorts were too similar to Arsenal’s?

that or the kit manager could have forgot the away shorts back in liverpool. this would not be the first time that this has happened

watching the replays, it was Agger .. i’ve heard Xabi, Arbeloa & Agger (all from different news sources) ..

Agger was the one who passed to Keane on the goal, not Xabi.

The substitutions were terrible as they have been most of the season. Way too late and way too negative (with the players taken off). That said, if someone offered a point from this match, I would have taken it.

By the way, I think(!) that the red shorts were necessary because the silver ones would have been too close in color to the white shorts Arsenal wore.
