Liverpool 1 Suarez 67
Newcastle United 1 Cabaye 43
Anfield 4th November 2012
Liverpool remain 12th after 10 games, having won only 2 games in the League this season. There is no cause for complaint on the performance, which at times is scintillating, only on the end product. After something like 25 attempts at the newcastle goal, there was only 1 goal to show, and that too from a brilliant individual act by Luis. One of the goals of the season. Suarez was so predominant, "mesmerizing individual display", that he ran Colocchini ragged, ultimately leading to the defender to vent his frustration studs-up. The words on the linesman's lips were quite clear, a straight red, though it was towards the end and did not have much effect on the game. This prompted Alan Pardew to march up to the ref at the end but as the Newcastle manager said it himself later, there was not much to argue about the intention.
Steven Gerrard's 600th senior Liverpool game did not provide much cheer for him and it was littered with mistakes and a generally indifferent performance overall. It was as if he was distracted from the task and occasion. Never mind, just being 600 is a reason to celebrate.
"Steven Gerrard was presented with an ornamental Liver bird in recognition of his 600th appearance for Liverpool before kick off, the captain becoming only the 10th player in the club's history to reach that impressive milestone.On hand for the presentation was Gerrard's former mentor in Liverpool's central midfield, Gary McAllister, and how Rodgers could do with the vision, command and experience the Scot brought to Gérard Houllier's team."
