Liverpool 2 Tottenham 2

A lacklustre performance from Gerrard, a horrendously taken penalty and a string of missed opportunities in the dying minutes... that about sums up the day. 2 points lost due to our incapability to convert our chances. Instead of closing down the gap between us and the Bluenose, we let Bolton overtake us in the league table. What a shame.

We played well last night, full of desire to take all 3 points but our lapse in concentration (esp in defence) let us down. Spurs went ahead with a beautiful struck goal from Edman about 40m outside the box. It caught everyone by surprise and there is no way Dudek could have save that. Our equalizing goal came in the 40th min thru Garcia. He controlled the ball well outside the six-yard box, turned and tuck the ball in the far left hand corner beyond Robinson.

The second half started brightly. We showed the hunger and kept attacking in waves. But in the midst of all these attacks, we conceded a soft goal ... an open header from Robbie Keane. Where was the defence??? Gerrard earned us a penalty just minutes after Spurs lead but too bad... he blasted the goal wide and it grazed across the post. What a penalty. Why are we so poor in taking penalties?!?! For once i wish we have Dan-the-man back in Anfield! Thank god Sami Hyypia found the 2nd equalizing goal for us. He volleyed the ball into the net after a mad rush by Spurs to clear a corner.

In the dying minutes, Rafa brought on Cisse and Biscan but both were unable to turn the game around. We continue attacking in the last 10mins but never find the winning goal. Garcia, Finnan, Mori came close to finding the net but somehow the ball never seems to be going in. And there it is... a dent in our CL hopes. Sometimes, i cant help wonder if Gerrard had purposely miss the penalty. U see, if we failed to get into the CL nx season, all the more he'll use this as an excuse to join Chelski. Rite?
