LIVERPOOL FC 2 WEST HAM 1



Great game and great comeback, going 1 down with a freak of a goal and not the best goalkeeping by Reina was not the best start, and once again the main culprit was Aurelio, he was totally lost in defence. But enough about the negatives 3 points is 3 points and the fightback was Liverpool Football club was quality.
Agger`s goal was great but being scored by a centre back it was amazing, ok it swerved and turned direction a lot, heading towards 3 of the 4 anfield stands on its way home. But the second goal had team class written all over it, and Crouch showing how good he is with the ball at his feet was a pleasure to watch.
But the thing i will always remember about today was from 52 minutes onwards, thats when Kuyt came on, and being on the pitch 10 seconds took an audacious shot from away out to make his future intentions known, he did not score today but in my 23 years of passionatly following this club i find it hard to remember being more impressed by a player on his debut. He has everything, a eye for goal, not afraid to go back to defence or tackle, but the most impressive thing about him is his hunger, remember this was his debut and he was screaming at his teamates to give him the ball and only a great save from Carrol denied him his dream debut after Kuyt had already played in Bellamy to score only for it to be ruled offside in a 50/50 decision.
Mark my words now, Liverpool Fc have signed a truly world class striker who is suited so well to the ruggedness of the premiership. He has the potential to become one of the truly great Liverpool Football Club legends and go a long way in helping to bring the glory days back to Anfield........................Yes i believe he is that good!
