LIVERPOOL'S recent interest in Kenwynne Jones was curious.
Because the Reds already possess a striker who has exactly the same qualities, if not more, than Sunderland's occasionally effective centre-forward.
He is quicker, trickier, he has a better shot, and while his aerial ability isn't quite as good, he's certainly no slouch upstairs.
GIVEN the afternoon he'd endured, David Moyes' reaction was understand- able. "Do you want this leaving on?" enquired an eager to please press officer, as the Blues boss trudged into the press room while Sir Steven Redgrave and Kelly Smith were still plucking balls from the FA's drum.
"No," he rapped, probably fearing a third round trip to Melchester Rovers with Roy Race on a hot scoring streak.
He needn't have worried. Carlisle at home was a good draw. But it was the only thing which went right for him all day.
"I'M delighted, but a little bit surprised," said Steven Gerrard when he picked up his Footballer of the Year award.
Which suggests that the Liverpool captain is either exceptionally modest, or doesn't sit at home diligently updating his own individual records every week.
WHAT'S the difference between Alan Shearer and Newcastle? Shearer will be back on Match of the Day next season.
Alright, it's a bad joke - but so too was the performance at Anfield yesterday of the football club currently masquerading as Newcastle United.
There was a time when Liverpool versus The Barcodes would guarantee goals and drama.
IT'S the draws which have damaged Liverpool's Premier League title hopes - probably fatally.
But these last two stalemates - if you can ever call eight-goal classics stale - have pointed the way forward.
In two losing causes, Liverpool have learned how to mount a more successful Premier League push next season.
