Importance of the first goal

[friedk]

I was at The Valley on Saturday to see Liverpool coast to victory at Charlton to stretch their run of not having lost in a Premiership game in which they have taken the lead to 55 matches. It was also their 20th win in a row since scoring first in a league game and you have to go back to that Good Friday game in April 2004 for the last time Liverpool went ahead and lost, when Sami Hyypia put them in front at Highbury, only for them to lose 4-2. - Martin Tyler

Hats off to Rafa for teaching the boys how to hold on to a lead.

I heard on the TV last week that the run was 59 games. Of those 56 resulted in a win and 3 draws. Pretty bloody amazing.

We just need to score the first goal against the other big teams now

Remarkable insight, remarkable

I would imagine that our stats for not winning games when we concede the first would be equally eye-opening.

Thank you. Think of me as the Andy Gray of pointing out the ****ing obvious.
