Liverpool – Sheffield United: First Half thoughts
By: Brian | February 24th, 2007- Hyypia looks out of sync and is attempting the long ball pass more than I would like. He did have one nice pass to Gonzo though, which the Chilean failed to convert.
- The Blades are playing just as physical as I thought they would and are paying for it. How the kick to Crouch’s head wasn’t at least a yellow (if not a red), I’ll never know. Crouch beat his man and had a good chance at the goal, there’s no way the defender (name eludes me, sorry) didn’t realize what was going on. A vicious play, none the less.
- The first penalty was called against Kozluk, who was covering Gerrard? Whatever, I guess a kick in the head warrants nothing.
- Fowler easily converted both penalties, the second awarded to Gerrard for a rear take down by Montgomery. Cry all you want Blades, you play dirty.
- The refereeing has been really inconsistent. At one point, Tonge took a dive, right in front of the Ref, on a challenge by Mascherano, and was awarded a free kick. Total crap.
- Overall, we’ve played okay, probably could have added a couple of more goals, and on the other side of the pitch, Dudek hasn’t had to do much, which is a good thing.

I’ll take 4-0 for the Reds no matter how it comes. From the clips it looks like you are right about the officiating. Fowler scoring twice, the out-of-sync Hyppia notching a goal, and Gerrard providing the icing on the cake sounds like a satisfying night to me.
You were also right about Kuyt as a sub. Came in for Crouch during the 23rd minute… not entirely surprising.
