The strains of Gerry and the Pacemakers as the teams come out.

The Baggies get us underway - both sides are in their first choice kits.

3:01 PM

A slow start for the home side who start tonight in 7th, five points behind their cross-city rivals.

Shelvy has it in the net but he's flagged offside. Foster lucked out there as he had just pushed Suarez's initial effort right out to the bald one.

3:10 PM

Oh - great sweeping Liverpool move there but Olsson was able to nod out Downing's cross for a corner.

3:24 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - Agger had a free header from the resulting corner. Put it over the top!

I am here for a bit
I forgot about this game ending 3-0 to the Baggies in the first match of the season

Brunt did well to get to the by-line but Carradona did well to shepherd it out.

Did you see this story Bob? I know it is on the Sun but..

Agger misses an open header.. he missed the ball completely

Afternoon, Dave. I do remember that because it's one of the funniest sequences in the "Being Liverpool" series. Lots of build-up for the season, with Brendan Rogers doing a load of PowerPoint presentations and then they got tonked.

Did you see the image of Peter Odemwinge at the Vatican? Hilarious!

Into the waning moments at Anfield. Not a lot of chances in this first half.

3:41 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - nearly an own goal by Stephen Reid. Came off his standing foot and spun over the bar. Lucky boy.

3:41 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Wow.. almost an howler from the Baggie defender... NOT BARRY-LIKE!
Barry's was an accomplished finish, this one was a whiff and miss... almost

3:42 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Suarez went down and had to put his arm up... just get up!

3:42 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The more I see the Barry own goal, the more I like it. He leans into the ball so deliberately. It's an excellent finish.

What about my Leeds link?
Is it a good thing?

BRILLIANT

Half time and Liverpool have not made the important breakthrough

I want Liverpool to beat the big boys but lose to the rest

3:47 PM

What a bloody nonsense! GFH (or "GBH" as the podcast I listen to calls them) just bought the club seven weeks ago! Now they're flogging it for a higher price! Not happy.

Wonder how true it is

3:49 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I agree with the Neviller. Without Sturridge, Liverpool are light in the center forward area.

3:55 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

We're away again at Anfield. Let's hope we get a couple of quick goals. I have to teach in about twenty minutes.

4:06 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - mad scramble in the WBA box after Downing's shot. Foster did well to stand up to Gerrard.

4:07 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - nearly an opener there for Pool. Henderson crossed well and Foster saved another certain own goal, this time off Olsson.

4:10 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Rogers is going to make some changes now, as the hour mark gets close. Looks like Sterling and someone else.

4:16 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Does Suarez ever go down without appealing for a free kick? He's a cheating little git.

4:17 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Okay - it's Borini for Shelvy - straight swap. And Sterling on for Henderson - slightly more attacking.

4:17 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Sorry, I am back from walkies from a relatively warm Glenville

4:20 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

As it stands, Liverpool will rise above Swansea into 7th and WBA will maintain their place in 9th.

4:21 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Warm here too, but a bit too breezy for my liking.

I think should propose that SUNY Fredonia buy LUFC and then they put you in charge of Football Operations


Prem here they come

Gerrard with a rocket of a shot saved by Foster.. .rebound missed

4:29 PM

Bloody hell... PENALTY TO LIVERPOOL

NEVER A PENALTY... OF COURSE SUAREZ GOES DOWN

VERY SOFT... Even Macca says so

4:33 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Brilliant save by Foster... justice served!

4:34 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Suarez was of course involved

4:37 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

oooh, Molumbu(sp) with a nice strike.. saved by Pepe... it was going in.. saved by finger nail

4:37 PM

GOAL... WBA SCORES FROM THE FOLLOWING CORNER

1 NIL... 10 TO GO

4:38 PM

Liverpool still won't have beaten a top ten team at the time the played them

5 to play

4:43 PM

BTW, Liverpool's shirts have a charity sponsor tonight as they did in the their last home game last season

Lukaku with a decent attack.. shoots wide

4:45 PM

WHAT A TURN UP

GET INVOLVED
Gareth Faulkner: "Liverpool need a clinical finisher like Gareth Barry."

4:48 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Yellow for Suarez. He is up to 8... ten and there is a two match ban

4:52 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

1 minute of 5 added to be played

4:52 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

That's it... West Brom do the double over Liverpool. Outscoring them 5 Nil!

West Brom go above Liverpool in the table
