Lucas drives a pass to Arbeloa, good cross, headed out, Riise caught in two minds and his chip goes throw to Harper.

We need a bit more in the box, only got one guy attacking crosses really.

[bigfooty]

Skrtel moves forward, spreads it to Riise, good cross but again only 1 player in the box (Yossi) with Torres on the edge.

[Joe King]

Great to hear the new Torres song sung loudly!

I can't hear it

[wishiwasascouser]

Deleted - double post.

[bigfooty]

Carra error sees Owen with a chance to run at the defence, his shot blocked wide for a throw.

[bigfooty]

Milner fouled on the edge of the box, Riise jumping into him.

[bigfooty]

N'Zogbia blazes the free-kick over.

[bigfooty]

25 minutes gone, 0-0. Harper had a couple of saves so far but generally we've lacked numbers in the box for crosses we've had.

[bigfooty]

Butt catches arbeloa with his studs up. Was going for the ball but a clumsy challenge.

[bigfooty]

Arbeloa plays a cross-field ball, bad one, drifts out of play. Yossi is cutting infield a lot at the moment, only Riise staying wide.

[bigfooty]

Pennant is sticking wide though, cross dips into the box, Newcastle don't clear, Lucas goes down in the box (no pen) but we win a free-kick on the right.

[bigfooty]

For the set piece everyone is up, Gerrard swings it in, Harper punches clear.

Riise trys to find Pennant but his ball is out for a throw, overhit.

[blacky]

I'd have played Crouch in this game

[bigfooty]

Fairclough saying Crouch perhaps should have started alongside Torres.

Newcastle mistake gives us a corner.

[bigfooty]

Pennant corner, headed away easily.

Xabi then thumps one over the bar from about 40 yards. Dunno what he was trying there.
