Make the Yakety Sax Inside my Head Stop
By: Ed | October 31st, 2009Little to say after what promises to be one of the most surreal thirty minutes in recent memory.
Chronologically:
-Torres off, Ryan Babel on. Apparently uninjured. Maybe with the midweek Champions League fixture in mind…but after that first half stunner, tough pill to swallow.
-Goal Fulham. Nevland flicks home after Dirk Kuyt saves the ball from going out of bounds, directly into Konchesky’s path, whose cross finds Gera, who nods to Nevland right in front of Reina. 2-1 Fulham.
-Nathan Eccleston comes on for Yossi Benayoun, white flag in tow.
-Phillipp Degen, who was largely positive on the afternoon, is shown a red for a late challenge on Dempsey. Probably not a red, but the tackle looked bad.
-Carra is red carded for dragging down Zamora. Down to nine men. Hideous.
-Ayala comes on for Kuyt. At this point, the attacking options are: Voronin, Babel, Eccleston.
-Dempsey trots into the box and slots past Reina. 3-1 Fulham.
-Final whistle after four minutes of stoppage time. Never has a final whistle seemed like such a rescue.
An embarrassing finish to the match to be honest. Liverpool were sloppy, careless, and unable to put anything together, and that was just in the first half. What a shambles after last weekend’s victory over United, and a decent showing midweek in the Carling Cup. Cue binge drinking.

I thought Aquilani was close to full fitness? I’m surprised that Torres might be taken off for any reason other than injury.
I can’t imagine Benitez has given up on the League already has he?
This year’s table already has a bizarre look to it.

Mike,
Aquilani is close to full fitness, but missed Saturday due to a virus. Not H1N1, but enough to keep him from being fit to play.
Torres’ substitution was more preventative than anything-nothing due to his participation on Saturday, mostly with midweek in mind. I can say it was not a popular decision, though.

Almost seems as if both Benitez and Ferguson are losing their touch a little.
Benitez was once the tactical genius, master of organization and Ferguson the master of mindgames and unrelenting will to win.
They’ve both rather gone off the boil of late. Strange to see only one real title possibility
