PSV Eindhoven 1 - 3 Liverpool

I have never really put the team's name and the score in my post title, haven't I? Haha. Anyway, everybody's saying that according to the weeeird Rafa's rotation last night, the gaffer doesn't even bother to top group D. But seriously, Riera played center midfield and N'gog as a deep striker. But what the hell, they won.

It was an above average performance. My credits goes to everyone. Lucas really proved himself, despite his promise to repay Rafa's faith in him. Riera also made a goal promise on this match, and there you got it. Amazing goal. I never thought that he's capable of scoring goals like that. But he's just amazingly skillful, creative and tactically intelligent -- typical Spanish player, but he has got pace.

Babel did good too. But he's been selfish at times. Keane made two awesome runs, but Babel took the goal attempts himself when Keane is actually in a good position to score. Keane did excellent today. Brilliant pass for N'gog for the third goal. Keane broke through a lot of defence, made some good runs, good passings, but he's just unlucky to get his goal this time. Too bad people judge his performance only looking at his goal tally.

And Lucas actually can make a really excellent long lob pass. It's really good to see. And the youth players -- well, I always love youth player. They're so fit and determine. Haha.

It's a good performance from Liverpool, especially on the 2nd half. Well Rafa's weird rotation worked after all. But really, PSV just suck haha. We'll see tonight which team might be our clash in the last 16. I really really really hope Real Madrid beat Zenit tonight -__-
