However in a moment of brilliance, Luis Suarez scored a wonderful-curler goal. Receiving the ball from Gerrard, Suarez turn and find himself acres of space in which he drive forward and did a one-two with Maxi Rodriguez before curling past a helpless Sorenson.
Three minutes later, Stoke equalized through Crouch. Crouch was left free inside the box to head in the leveller. That was some controversial to this goal as it was clearly never a corner kick as shown in the replay. Defending here was poor, Carroll who was supposed to be marking Crouch was nowhere to be seen. On the other hand, I got absolutely no idea what was Pepe thinking? Why was he standing behind Shotton? Did he really think he will get to the ball this way?
Liverpool 1 - 1 Stoke reads the half time scoreboard.
We eventually regained our lead on the 57th minute through Downing. Downing received the ball on the right hand side which he then did a give-and-go with Gerrard (I think Gerrard was trying to bring the ball forward himself more than trying to pass it back to Downing) before continuing his run and eventually striking the ball past Sorenson.
It was a good goal from Downing but I think he can do much better. He had been inconsistent throughout the season and its time for him to step up and prove that he deserve to wear the Liverpool jersey. Without a doubt, he did scored the winner but other than that he didn't do much throughout the game.
Spearo and Suarez had an amazing game. Spearo is small but gutsy, a great competitor who's always trying to win the ball back. Doing all the dirty job infront of the back four. All hail Suarez! Once again he proved why he is one of the best striker in the world. Full of trickery, speed and technical ability. Suarez is always on the move wanting to receive the ball, good off the ball movement. A true defender's nightmare.
