Liverpool picking up...

FIRSTLY,
I just want to go on record that I'm pretty happy with the way they performed this morning. Heck I ended up oversleeping and didn't watch it LIVE, but I watched the replay and they've definitely got a lot more drive...

BUT!
They need to play like this in the premiership too! I have to admit their last match against Tottenham WAS commendable, but I hope Rafa's not underprioritising the premiership again.

HAVING SAID THAT:
Peter Crouch and that Cinema guy are such a contrasting strikeforce! When Crouch patted his head, it actually looked paternal! Of course, from Cinema's point of view, Crouch is a bloody giant!

INCIDENTALLY::
Are players like Cinema, Jeremi and Traore ever going to play in the premiership? So far, those three have been like Champions League specialists. Of course, selection wise, I'm sure Rafa knows what he's doing. And I'm glad he benched Gerrard so that he'd be fully rested for the weekend.

AND ON THAT NOTE:
C'mon, Man U! We're waiting for ya...
