Bill shankly to Tommy Smith after he'd turned up for training with a bandaged knee:
'Take that poof bandage off, and what do you mean YOUR knee, it's LIVERPOOL'S knee !'
"Sorry, boss, I should have kept my legs together," said Lawrence. "No, Tommy, your mother should have kept her legs together!," replied Shankly.

From the free kick Torres gets a header on the ball but it's not troubling the keeper who plucks it out of the air.
Some neat play by Momo and Lucas spreads the play wide to Finnan, his cross is just cut out ahead of Torres who was about to pull the trigger.
Play on the left side, Leto with a curling cross but it's behind the players in the box.
Can hear strains of "Oooh campione" from the crowd.Comment

Momo with space in the midfield, wide, comes to Lucas, Finnan wins a challenge, good play by Yossi, cross is rushed and too long.
Momo gets the ball in midfield again, doesn't find the pass but we get it back once more and keep pressure on.
Finnan with another cross, Torres gets onto it but can't direct header on goal under pressure.
Paletta with a good challenge to break up a counter-attack.
Play goes down the other end, Torres with a cross but defender heads with Crouch poised to finish.Comment

Good link-up play from Leto and Insua on the left, Leto turns with space on the edge of the box but drags a tame shot wide.Comment

Momo pretty much ****ed it up for a moment, but luckily Paletta was there for him. That Chinese #8 dude is quite fast

Babel also about to come on as we approach the hour mark.
Bit of the ball for the chinese, cross in but big Sami heads away as Ricard goes for the ball.
Lucas seeing a lot of the ball, eventually Torres decides to have a long range shot but straight at the keeper.Comment

Crouch not good todayComment

SG and Babel onComment
-
Insua with a good interception and brings the ball out well, we counter-attack, Crouch trys a flick to Yossi but not on same wavelength and it breaks down.
Gerrard on for Crouch.
Babel on for Momo.
Babel gets heckled for being a former Ajax man.Comment

Crouch and Momo offComment
-
As per Rafa's all-out attacking style Babel has gone right-wing so we're only fielding one recognised striker at the moment.Comment
-
Crouch is absolutely woeful today
