The Fulham game reminded me of @ Portsmouth in 2009

[Dirkus_Circus]

Played out very similarly, back and forth with LFC nicking a 3-2 win on the road.

David Nugent put Portsmouth ahead 1-0 in the 62nd.

Aurelio drew LFC level on an indirect free kick inside the 18 yard box (love those!!) after David James handled a back pass...1-1.

Then Hreidarsson put Portsmouth back in front 2-1 in the 78.

Kuyt draws LFC level AGAIN with a laser shot at the near post beating James....2-2.

Torres gets the winner with a glancing header from a Benayoun cross in the 92nd minute...3-2 Liverpool.

I didn't see your post, I swear!

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

I miss Aurelio and Arbeloa.

 

[Aidan O' Neill]

Some joker having Torres, Kuyt and Alonso on the bench for that game.

 

[Halmeister]

I really don't miss Benitez the mad fucking bastard.

Its refreshing seeing Rodgers celebrate and showing some emotions.

And not resting all our best players in difficult away games.

And not resting all our best players in difficult away games.

We played Everton away 3 days prior, and Chelsea just 3 days before that.

We won both those games.

We beat Portsmouth.

In the month that followed, we beat Real Madrid twice, spanked ManU at Old Trafford, and then put 5 past Aston Villa.

Ha... I'd like to say "owned", but that was one month in 6 years, there were plenty of other occasions when his selections really were mental.

He was great that season though, but here we are, 18 months into Rodgers reign, in a more competitive league, going for it. Who'd have thought it were possible without the Messiah, eh?
