One Man's Brilliance Sends The Magpie's Home Wanting
That man of course was Luis Suarez who scored one of those
goals that only he can score.
But it could have turned out differently for Liverpool who
after playing at a fantastic tempo for the first twenty minutes of the game,
seemed to tire and lose their way completely.
Why that is, only they can answer and if the truth be known, they need
too, because if not we are going to witness another season of draws and loses
rather than the wins that we need.
The football as I have said for the first twenty minutes was
wonderful to watch, with the players finally beginning to look at home with the
pass and move style of play. Within six
minutes of the start it looked as though fate might finally have been on
Liverpool's side when Luis Suarez was brought down in the penalty area. Then
followed the usual calls for a penalty but referee Anthony Taylor waived play
on.
Seventeen year Old Raheem Sterling was the man of the match
at this point in the game, picking up shot after shot and linking up well with
fellow youngster Suso to send several shots towards the goal. Unfortunately
Newcastle goalkeeper Krul was on form and if the shots did not go wide they
went straight into his hands, as Suso Sterling and Sahin found out after making
a wonderful move.
Luis Suarez also registered his intent at this point after
taking a free kick which curled and ended up going wide.
Stevie who was presented with a RED Liverbird to mark his
600th appearance for the club, did a Xabi Alonso and sent a wonderful kick just
over the bar, as the whole of Anfield held its breath - if it had gone in the
noise would have been deafening.
Suddenly, though the tempo dropped and Newcastle found
themselves able to take control of the game.
They gained more and more of the possession but it took a mistake by
young Andre Wisdom for them to put them on the front foot.
Andre Wisdom was penalised for a foul throw-in and Newcastle
picked up the ball, sent it toward Ben Arfa, who in turn sent it towards the
far post where it was met by Cabaye and volleyed past Brad Jones. Newcastle was
now in the lead and it remained that way until the end of the first half.
Now every game has some sort of entertainment or
presentation at half time but the supporters in the main stand along with quite
a few of the people in the Director's box got an expected soaking when the head
of sprinkler became loose and water was sent their way.
Now fate has a wonderful way of interrupting the proceedings
and it must have seemed to Newcastle that it was suddenly against them when
Demba Ba - a player that Liverpool are believed to be interested in - was substituted
five minutes into the second half.
Whist Newcastle took their time to re-group and change
formation, Liverpool suddenly found the momentum once again and it was just a
matter of time before the breakthrough came.
Luis Suarez and Sahin suddenly found that space was beginning to open up
in the penalty area and sent shots towards the goal. Unfortunately it was the same old story with
one going over and the other going wide.
Newcastle tried to regain control by staging several counter
attacks and appealing for a penalty, when it looked to them as though Martin
Skrtel had challenged Ameobi, but referee Anthony Taylor judged it as fair
challenge and play continued.
Shortly afterwards came the moment that everyone had waited
for. A moment of pure genius that came
from a long ball, rather than the pass and move style of play. Jose Enrique sent a ball 50 yards out of the
defence which Luis Suarez chased, met and controlled with his shoulder,
bringing it down and side-stepping Krul before sending it into the net.
Liverpool was now level and the noise around Anfield was
deafening. We had just witnessed the
master of brilliance at work and Liverpool suddenly realised that perhaps they
could after all win the game.
Jonjo Shelvey who had
come on to replace Suso, nearly scored within moments of coming onto the pitch
but did not hit the ball hard enough.
Newcastle of course, were not going to give up that easily
and a mistake by Enrique sent Ameobi racing down towards Ben Arfa, who having
picked up the ball, sent a shot tamely towards Brad Jones. Then panic or indeed
stupidity took over when Coloccini having chased Luis Suarez decided to send
his studs into Suarez's legs. The
resulting red card was rightfully given by Anthony Taylor, because if Suarez's
speed had not been what it was, our only striker could well have joined the
injury list this evening.
With the Newcastle down to ten men and the minutes ticking
down, Liverpool did all they could to control the game and score, but even
though Luis Suarez could not snatch the winner after a strange free kick and
bounce failed to find the back of the net.
The game finished as score draw and I guess on a different
day, the six clear chances that we missed may well have found the back of the
net. For that to happen of course,
Liverpool must add at least two new strikers to the playing staff when the
window opens in January.
