Arsenal 3 - 1 Liverpool
I don't know what else to say, but Liverpool's dream of chasing Everton to reach the 4th spot in the Premier League is effectively busted; we can't catch the Toffees now. No longer possible mathematically.
It was do-or-die, we had to WIN it to have any chance of getting 4th. But, we put up a disappointing show against the Gunners & paid for the it dearly. We got beaten 3-1 at Highbury.
We were the better side for the opening 15 mins, from then on it's the Gunners. We could have gotten a goal, but Riise wasted the chance by going for personal glory. I don't blame Riise, he's been outstanding this season; during the Carling Cup Final against Chelsea & he was hardworking throughout Liverpool's season. But, at times like this; team certainly comes before personal glory. All said & done, it was a wasted opportunity.
Gunners got two in the first-half through Pires & Reyes, within 25 mins of the game. Honestly, I was shocked. Where was the gallant defence that denied Juve & Chelsea? We were disorganized at the back & Baros is again the lone striker, we have limited firing power in front & we kept firing blanks.
Captain Gerrard did find the net thru a deflected freekick after the interval, but we weren't able to get the equaliser, even after Rafael Benitez sent Kewell & Cisse up to add more attacking strength. Pool played better in the 2nd-half, but were let down by the finishing.
Now, there's no way we can catch Everton. We can only hope to win the Champions League final against AC Milan in Istanbul on 25th May & hope the English FA & UEFA do something miraculous.
