Champions League
Well yesterday two matches were played in the Champions League
– Arsenal – Liverpool (Damn Scousers:p)
– Fenerbache – Chelski
I had the opportunity to watch both matches, but preferred the English derby between the Gooners and the Scousers…
The match was actually pretty entertaining for most parts, and pressure was mounting on Liverpool during the whole match..
After a couple of decent chances to each team in the first 20 minutes, MOM Mathieu Flamini chipped a superb ball past the Liverpool defence just to see Robin van Persie miss the opportunity..
Robin van Persie then tested Pepe Reina only a minute afterwards with a decent shot from the edge of the box, but the Spaniard got a good save..
And just a minute later Arsenal scored from a superb cross by Cesc. The cross found a totally unmarked Adebayor who could score with ease.. 1-0 Gooners…
But just minutes later Steven Gerrard overtook a couple of defenders in the left side. The captain put a low cross past Almunia, which Clichy and Kuyt together tumbled over the line… 1-1! Crap!
The rest of the 1st half it was all about Arsenal… But especially Adebayor, Hleb and Eboue never found their feet on the pitch with some poor displays…
The dominance by Arsenal continued in the second half, but even with a lively Theo Walcott (on for the injury proned van Persie after 45 minutes) on the pitch, Arsenal just couldnt find a way past the Liverpool defence…
Meanwhile I was getting crazy watching Jamie Carragher hoof the ball up the pitch every fucking time he got the ball… What people see in this guy, I do not get… And in the other side it seemed as though Fabio Aurelio was afraid to go forward as though the Arsenal half was quicksand…
A clear penalty in the 65th minute was ignored by the subpar dutch ref Pieter Vink, when the “technically” gifted Dirk Kuyt tugged Hlebs shirt..
Niklas Bendtner was introduced in the 67th minute, and showed some good passing skills… But soon afterwards he seemed to save a clear Arsenal-goal, when Cesc fired from the edge of the box and hit the long-limmed forwards legs…
But the negative Liverpool tactics worked as the final whistle was blown with the score tied at 1-1….
Man of match was clearly the hardworking Flamini on the Arsenal midfield.. He totally overshined a mediocre Cesc and was a constant threat with his killer passes… Gerrard did alright for Liverpool with his brilliant assist for the Scouser-goal…
Crap of the day was Adebayor, who, although he scored a goal, lost the ball about 1000 times, because he thinks he can dribble… Dumbass…. Eboue didn’t do much on the right as well, and Wenger should consider buying a right wing in the summer…
For Liverpool Mascherano was poor as always… I cannot belive overrated Rafa bought this deadweight for 18.6 million pounds… Fucking crazy! Carragher and his hoofing wasn’t impressive either and Fabio Aurelio was quite tame…
In the other match Chelski was beaten by Fenerbache and a crazy goal by Deivid (Who also scored Chelskis goal)… Fenerbache now has the record for most own goals in one Champ. League season with three… 
Well Thats It! Stay tuned for more football news written in mediocre English by a Danish writer!
