Here we go then. Come you red men.

Martin "son of Ron" Atkinson the ref.

Here we go

I hope Kuyt gets a hattrick.

[bigfooty]

Barnsley's keeper Luke Steele will be familiar to a few Footie Manager players, he used to be a legend in previous versions of the game.

We kick-off attacking the Kop! Boo!

[Gazmo1]

where were you for the last game bigfooty?

[bigfooty]

Good tackle by Riise wins the ball, we build an attack.

Yossi on the right, into the box, Lucas chases, wins a corner.

Corner taken short, wasted.

[Shaggy]

It takes Riise three minutes to take a pot-shot at goal FFS.

[bigfooty]

where were you for the last game bigfooty?

Watching the game with my dad (LFC fan) and my mum (Chelsea fan).

Barnsley counter-attack, on the right, good cross, not cleared, ball drops in box and Carra makes a vital block / clearance.

[bigfooty]

Babel on the left, into Yossi who takes up a central position, trys to dribble through the defence, cleared, comes to Riise on the left, drives a shot well wide.

[Gazmo1]

The crowd sounds in good voice today.

[bigfooty]

Barnsley beat the offside trap on the left, ex-Man-Utd player Nardiello in but we clear it away.

Good atmosphere.

Xabi fires off a loose pass, gets away with it, we build a move, Alonso wide to Yossi, 1-2 between Finnan and Kuyt (or Lucas) wins a corner.

[bigfooty]

Corner from the right, Yossi, outswinger, low, poor, cleared.

Pressure on Barnsley, Finnan cross, Yossi trys the overhead (misses) comes out to Xabi who dribbles a shot wide.

[bigfooty]

Nice flick by Crouch to Yossi who is tripped.

Free-kick taken short and wasted.

[bigfooty]

From 30 yards away from their goal we go all the way back to Charlie. Ridiculous.

Crouch fouled in their half on a high ball, wins a free-kick in a good spot to put it into the box. Another terrible set-piece though, doesn't even make it into the area. Shocking choices / delivery on the dead balls so far.

[Gazmo1]

**** me, has Lucas' shot landed yet?
