    Just finished watching it again, great stuff!! Players coming off the bench was brilliant, well played Rafa.

    Hard to single out one player for mom, Alonso was very good and although Torres didn't have a great game he does what he is there to do, two ****ing fantastic goals

    Think I'll watch it again in the morning
    What channel are you watching in on?

    I'm sitting here waiting for Football First at 10pm.

      Yep, he probably meant that a Liverpool player is yet to score in the first half of a league match this season.

        Liverpool comeback shows they might just be the real deal

        "Late wins, comeback wins, lucky wins: Liverpool are ticking a lot of the boxes of the potential champion"


        Liverpool's players celebrate a remarkable comeback.

        A win is a win is a win but, as Morrissey almost said, some wins are bigger than others. To see Liverpool's delirious celebration of Dirk Kuyt's winning goal at Eastlands today, after they had been 2-0 down at the end of a thoroughly miserable first half, was to see a side with an increasingly powerful belief that destiny is with them, and that it has decided their run without a league title will end at 19 years.

        Liverpool did not play particularly well until Pablo Zabaleta was given a straight red for an appalling challenge on Xabi Alonso, after which they picked City apart at will, but that only adds to the worthiness of their victory. There is an inclination to talk of such victories as displaying the "mark of champions", when a team have played badly but willed or lucked their way to a win.

        Yet what is just as important as the perception that a lucky victory is the preserve of the bona fide title contenders is the extent to which the confidence and sense of fate that can be drawn from such victories permeates through future contests. Liverpool will glean an immeasurable psychological boost from the manner of their win.

        There are still issues with the team, not least at full-back, but this will only reinforce the growing belief on the Kop that this could be Liverpool's year. Late wins, comeback wins, lucky wins: Liverpool are ticking a lot of the boxes of the potential champion. The force is strong in these ones.

        Every title-winner recalls one symbolic victory: recent examples include Manchester United's heist at Anfield in March 2007, Chelsea's show of bare-chested cheek after withstanding a physical battering at Blackburn in February 2005, and Thierry Henry's 4-2 win over Liverpool in April 2004. Usually, by their very nature, they come in the second half of the season. But if Liverpool win the league this year, this might be the one.

        Comeback wins (Liverpool have already come from behind three times to win this season) and in particular late goals offer a window into a very healthy soul – remember how many Manchester United's treble winners scored – and this is the third time in seven league games that Liverpool have won with a goal in the final 10 minutes, two of them in injury time. Ryan Babel's winner against United also came late, with 13 minutes to go.

        Liverpool are gathering force through each game and, as a consequence, gathering an even stronger force for the long-game of the the title race.

            Check this comment out, at the bottom. Surely a Bitter!

            "Appalling challenge"??!! Mr Smyth, you are just another t@*sser looking to fill column inches. For two straight weeks we have been treated to the cheat Alonso writhing in his death throes before upon seeing his opponent get a red card, make a miraculous recovery. You sir, are an idiot.

                      Can't wait for Football First/MOTD. Gonna watch em both .

                      International break now obviously but Wigan at home for us next with Chelsea at Boro, which will not be easy for them. Arsenal are at home to the Bitters and the Mancs are at home to West ****ing Brom.

                          And the fact that city changed their mind about signing him probably helps

                            There is a seriousness about this team. They are on a mission to win trophies and make a big name for themselves.

                                Bet their fans are not slagging him off now. He is unpredictable and that is something we have been craving for for a while.
