FINNAN: WE FULLY DESERVED DERBY WIN

Steve Finnan believes Liverpool fully deserved their 3-1 victory over Everton in the 203rd Merseyside derby at Anfield on Saturday.  
The Reds overcame the early dismissal of skipper Steven Gerrard to register an impressive win against the Blues, courtesy of a first half own goal from Phil Neville and second half strikes from Luis Garcia and Harry Kewell.
  
"We got the goals at really good times," says Finnan. "When we went down to 10 men, maybe we expected a little bit more from them, but I thought we deserved to win in the end. We fought really hard and showed a lot of character.
  
"Maybe at 0-0 we may have thought we couldn't win it and would have settled for the draw. But going in 1-0 up gave us the belief in our own heads that we could go on and win it. That goal was important. We were still causing problems with 10 men and the confidence we have got from our previous three wins helped us through.
  
"It didn't really happen for them. They had been on a good run, but when they got the goal back, they started playing long balls and that wasn't a major problem. It is great to do the double over them and psychologically you can sleep well after a derby win."
  
On the 18th minute sending off of Gerrard, Finnan added: "Stevie was very quiet after the match. These games mean a lot to him and he is disappointed to have missed out on the victory.
  
"But he doesn't need to apologise. The first one was for kicking the ball away, but he looked like he got a bit of the ball for the second one. However the referee said it was two-footed.
  
"It's okay because he has got us out of trouble so many times in the past, he was just disappointed that it happened in a derby game."

EXTRA TIME FOR REDS TO RELIVE ISTANBUL GLORY

Liverpool fans have been given one final chance to celebrate the Champions League triumph.  
Heathcotes at Anfield has been holding sell-out Sportsman's Dinners since the victory over AC Milan in Istanbul last May.
  
The final dinner was meant to be Thursday, May 25, but this has sold out so quickly that an extra dinner the following night (May 26) has now been arranged.
  
Both evenings will be hosted by Liverpool legend John Aldridge and Radio City’s Phil Easton.
  
Tickets for the May 26 event are £100 per person and include champagne, four course meal, commemorative photograph with the trophy, special gift and the chance to relive the dramatic moments from the final.
  
A number of other former Liverpool stars will also be attending the final two dinners to share their memories of the victory along with stars from the world of music and entertainment.
  
Tom Cassidy, Heathcotes at Anfield Sales Manager, said: "The response to the dinners has been phenomenal.
  
"By the time we are finished 4,300 fans will have had the chance to relive that great night in Istanbul.
  
"Because the May 25 event has sold out so quickly, we decided to organise one final dinner to meet the demand from fans."

BAGGIES RESERVE DATE CHANGED

Liverpool's scheduled home reserve fixture against West Bromwich Albion on Thursday 13 April has been postponed and rearranged for Thursday 27 April.  
The change is due to the Reds' participation in the FA Youth Cup Final first leg against Manchester City at Anfield on the same night.

GERRARD HAILS HEROIC TEAM-MATES

Steven Gerrard today hailed the heroic efforts of his team-mates after they pulled off a dramatic derby win despite playing with just 10 men for 72 minutes of the game.  
The Liverpool captain was sent off for picking up two yellow cards within the space of 34 seconds with just 18 minutes on the clock but despite the red card, Rafael Benitez players responded with a powerhouse performance that Everton simply couldn't live with.
  
While the victory might have got the captain off the hook, Gerrard admits he only has himself to blame for leaving the game early.
  
"I'm more disappointed with the first booking than the second," revealed the midfielder. "The first one was just stupid on my part. For the second one I thought he was going to strike the ball and I just went into the tackle. Those challenges are part and parcel of derbies
  
"The lads were all heroic though - every one of them. I didn't want to get them in trouble but they were brilliant. You wouldn't have known we had ten men for so long. I can't praise them enough and they certainly made me feel better about things at the end."

SAMI: GERRARD DECISION WAS HARSH

Sami Hyypia has today questioned the decision of referee Phil Dowd in booking Steven Gerrard so early in the match against Everton.  
Liverpool recovered brilliantly from the sending off of their captain to record a fantastic 3-1 win over their local rivals to keep up the pressure on second place Manchester United but Hyypia still believes Gerrard's original caution was harsh.
  
"I don't know if the referee needed to give the first one against Stevie," claimed the Finn. "The second one I don't think you can argue that it was a yellow card but when he gave the first one so easily, maybe he could have let him off the second one.
  
"Stevie is a big leader of our team and he takes a lot of responsibility so it was up to the ones left on the pitch to take more responsibility. We did that.
  
"We needed to work hard and we did and at the end we were very happy. Defensively, I really don't remember many chances coming along for them and it wasn't their best day. We closed them down and got a lot of second balls."

謝拉特染紅反亮出中場脊梁 利物浦隊魂已不重要?

記者林良鋒報道 過去兩年來,安菲爾德有句套話:謝拉特背著利物浦前進。看台上的老少幾乎是把當場最佳填完再看比賽,人選有且只有一個:謝拉特。本賽季利物浦的鋒線低產,謝拉特大部分時刻成了得分答案,甚少有人提起艾朗素的作用。

  賓尼迪斯曾在辯論是否有資格衛冕冠軍杯時說過:如果我們有艾朗素(新年主場對車路士被林柏特鏟傷),聯賽怎麼會只得第五?的確,若非西班牙國腳及時復出,利物浦未必能越過祖雲達斯和車路士,打進冠軍杯決賽,若非他決賽罰中點球,利物浦也未必贏得互射點球的機會。

  謝拉特開場不到18分鐘就被罰下,利物浦沒有散架,多虧艾朗素串起全隊攻防。幾個月前,艾朗素說起來英超的最大感觸:“拼搶時雙方都不收腳,爭頂時誰都不收手。”打比,艾朗素兩樣滋味都試過了,既有饋贈,也有收獲。先是上半時他抬腳過高放倒菲爾﹒內維爾,吃了黃牌,後在下半時被雲達美迪的“東坡肘子”打翻在地,荷蘭人只打了5分鐘就先行更衣了。費格遜因為背後撞他,也上了多德的小本子。“習慣了。”艾朗素的英語很流利,萊因克爾曾拿他的名字(xabi在英語中和“shabby(爛)”諧音)開玩笑,贊他接受採訪一點不磕巴。

  艾朗素現在已經學會了如何躲避突如其來的鏟球,偶爾也給對手一招半式,但他對在海布里拿的紅牌很有意見:“你不該為莫須有的犯規吃牌!”利物浦最近4場比賽大開殺戒,兩周前一場還難進一個,現在4場灌了對手18個,中場調度是關鍵。艾朗素在打比的表現雖不不如祖安法蘭和基維爾那麼耀眼,但全隊在他的指揮下反倒像是比對方多了一個。比賽中,他一腳遠射擊中斯塔布斯,兩次精確自由球擊介堡楣在先,助攻海皮亞破門在後。盡管他沒有進球,但菲爾﹒內維爾愿意和他爭那個進球麼?

  時間接近半場,安菲爾德擔心這場比賽陷入又一個不“開和”的僵局,艾朗素的角球馬上解開了這團疑雲。這是比賽第一個角球,球速很快,內維爾守在近門柱,情急之下伸頭一頂,球飛過無助的胡禮,進了自家大門。默施斯德打比的烏龍不在少數,但由原效力曼聯的球員奉上還是第一次。艾朗素和西索科搭檔越來越有效,有馬里人在四周掃雷,艾朗素的組織才華讓利物浦獲得持續的動力。賽後,艾朗素被大部分媒體評為當場最佳。利物浦中場已經定型,中路只要有艾朗素和西索科,謝拉特在哪個位置並不重要。

利物浦哼哈二將進球斗靚 左翼快馬自曝曾拒絕藍軍槍手

記者郭磊報道 賓尼迪斯對基維爾和祖安法蘭這2個球員,感情恐怕比較復雜。前者在貝帥第一年消沉萎靡,一度還因蹊蹺的傷病和球隊搞得不太愉快,冠軍杯決賽首發更是敗筆﹔後者雖屢有驚人表現,但狀態起伏過大,年初一度被安排去預備隊找感覺。紅軍此前3場大勝進球雖主要由復蘇的鋒線完成,但也少不了兩翼協助﹔這次與愛華頓的打比戰,克勞奇打起副攻,兩大邊鋒扮演了終結者。

  下半時開場僅2分鐘,祖安法蘭接克勞奇頭球擺渡,突入禁區右側,面對出擊的門將胡禮左腳外腳背挑射,這個高難度動作並沒有影響准星,皮球直入遠角,讓多打1人的愛華頓陷入2球落後的困局。今年以來,祖安法蘭又有了上賽季冠軍杯對祖雲達斯和車路士時關鍵先生的風釆,先是客戰保頓時完場前扳平比分,後又在主場對阿仙奴替補上場後打入本隊唯一進球,此番對愛華頓的世界波則引來了基維爾的稱贊,“這麼快攻入第2球深深刺中了對手。”

  比賽中紅軍第一次有效攻勢就由祖安法蘭和基維爾攜手完成,基維爾左路長途奔襲30余碼,及時斜傳禁區前沿,克勞奇回做祖安法蘭,後者左腳抽射偏出右側立柱。第24分鐘,祖安法蘭接到芬蘭擲出的界外球後,第一時間乖巧地停球轉身左腳射門,這記一氣呵成的弧線球砸在網頂。

  第68分鐘,兩人的配合差點更早鎖定勝局。克勞奇在右路突破後傳中,基維爾在對方逼搶下把球送到門前,小禁區邊緣的祖安法蘭對來球准備不足,被斯塔布斯鏟斷,錯失了這次絕殺。不到1分鐘,西索科中圈過頂挑傳,基維爾左腳輕巧一撥過了威爾,禁區前沿勁射遠角,被胡禮扑出底線。

  第84分鐘,芬蘭在右路和祖安法蘭的連續傳遞,以及克勞奇向遠端的跑位,起到聲東擊西的效果,基維爾在25碼外的開闊地帶得球,舒服得停球瞄准,左腳弧線球直掛左側死角。基維爾本賽季得益於辛頓重傷才半途搶回主力位置,他一共只進過3球,但每一球都精彩絕倫且價值連城,對熱刺的超級凌空和對曼城干淨利落的單刀球均是全場唯一進球,此役殺死死敵愛華頓的絕殺更是意義重大:“這場勝利對我們和球迷來說是個巨大的成就。紅牌之後,我們知道比賽會很艱苦,但我們挺了過來。”

  漸入佳境的基維爾會讓紅軍球迷慶幸他在家中不是個氣管炎。澳洲人的妻子謝莉透露,自己一直想去倫敦生活,“哈里(基維爾)在加盟利物浦前本有去倫敦的機會,車路士和阿仙奴都想要他,那時我想搬到南方,我爸爸當時剛去世,我想和媽媽住得近些。他對我說,‘如果你真想去南方,我會去的。’但我拒絕了,我想讓他自己做決定。哈里每件事都會征求的我意見,但他是個有主見的人。”

CARRA: DERBY SUCCESS TASTES SO SWEET

Jamie Carragher admits Saturday's derby victory over Everton was one of the sweetest he's ever experienced.  
The Liverpool defender has tasted his fair share of success against the Blues down the years but believes, given the circumstances, this latest triumph is right up there with the best of them.
  
Despite suffering the early blow of losing influential captain Steven Gerrard to a red card, the Reds fought back impressively to take all three points on a memorable afternoon.
  
Second half goals from Luis Garcia and Harry Kewell sealed the 3-1 win after Phil Neville's own goal had earlier broken the deadlock and no-one was more delighted afterwards than boyhood Evertonian Carragher.
  
"There's no doubt it feels sweeter because of the fact we played so long with only ten men," he says.
  
"It's a game which should be talked about by Liverpool fans for years to come because when Stevie was sent off, most of us would have happily taken a 0-0 draw.
  
"I was just thinking we need to get through to half-time and re-organise, but the own goal obviously gave us a great boost and we were excellent in the second half.
  
"Everton know how we feel today because they did something similar against Blackburn a few weeks ago. I remember them saying at the time how much they owed to their suppporters and it was one of the best displays at Goodison this season.
  
"Our character got us through. Xabi Alonso and Momo Sissoko were outstanding for us. Momo covers every blade of grass and his last two performances have been superb considering the time he's been out.
  
"Because everyone took responsibility you'd never have known it was 10 versus 11 out there. Xabi was named man-of-the-match and I don't think anyone was arguing with that."
  
Carragher also singled out lone striker Peter Crouch for special praise, adding: "If there was one game which underlined why we signed Crouchy, that was it.
  
"Last season we might have struggled to play that long with only ten men. The forwards we had were more suited to balls over the top, but Crouchy was ideal for the situation we were in because of the way he holds the ball.
  
"Not only does he relieve the pressure, but he was also involved in creating chances for us, which was shown with Luis Garcia's goal. I thought it was one of his best games for us at a time when we really needed it."

WHY SO MANY ASIANS AND MUSLIMS SUPPORT LFC

I'm sat in the International suite at Anfield with journalists and representatives of the FA Premier League and the Football League, when a guy called Pedro turns around and asks me: "Why do so many Asians and Muslims support Liverpool?"  


  
Obviously I can't speak for every Asian and Muslim supporter out there, but I felt I had to unearth why and how - being born in Preston and raised in Yorkshire - I became a Liverpool supporter?
  
I knew some kind of archeological excavation of memory was on the cards. However it was not until I unearthed my Liverpool scarf did I recall that it was in fact my Dad who bought me the scarf years ago. And although he is still an avid Preston North End fan, he always admired Liverpool and watched them many times at Anfield during the late 60's, and 70's.
  
A young Asian guy watching football in those days is practically unheard of, but when Dad emigrated here from India he just developed a love for football as opposed to cricket. He was a season ticket holder for Preston North End for years, but the joy of watching Liverpool, Leeds and unfortunately Manchester United was something he relished. However, I specifically remember having a conversation with Dad about the legendary Bill Shankly and was told about the time Kevin Keegan was playing for Scunthorpe United many years ago and how both Preston North End and Liverpool were after his signature - but Preston refused to match Shankly's offer and the rest as they say is history.
  
Dad also remembers watching a very young Mark Lawrenson score for Preston North End against Sheffield Wednesday and watching an FA cup replay between Crewe and Preston North End at Anfield in 1977 - with Preston winning 3-0. He also watched Liverpool draw 0-0 with Everton at Goodison in the mid 70's, and watched George Best play for Manchester United at Deepdale against Preston in 1972, with Alan Gowling and Dennis Law scoring the goals in a 2-0 win for United.
  
In those days Dad used to earn a wage of about £20, and he once spent £15 on a pair of football boots endorsed by George Best, with his signature on the side. Dad is a football institution, he enjoyed going to football matches and took pleasure in watching the likes of Dalglish, Fairclough, Ian Callaghan, Brian Hall, Alan Kennedy and many other great players such as Peter Osgood, Alan Ball, Malcolm McDonald, Bobby Charlton and Martin Peters amongst others. And incidentally he never experienced any racism – he even used to go to Deepdale on his own if his friends were at work. Nowadays he prefers to be an armchair fan.

Obviously I can't speak for every Asian and Muslim supporter out there, but I felt I had to unearth why and how - being born in Preston and raised in Yorkshire - I became a Liverpool supporter?
I knew some kind of archeological excavation of memory was on the cards. However it was not until I unearthed my Liverpool scarf did I recall that it was in fact my Dad who bought me the scarf years ago. And although he is still an avid Preston North End fan, he always admired Liverpool and watched them many times at Anfield during the late 60's, and 70's.

Back to me! I remember when I was 7 years old, it was May 1986 the day we moved into our new house and it was Cup final day - Liverpool v Everton. I remember switching the TV on and watching Liverpool trail Everton 1-0 thanks to a goal by Gary Lineker. I specifically remember my Dad going on about how great Liverpool were, so I was understandably delighted when Craig Johnston and a brace from Ian Rush secured the double for Liverpool that season. And soon enough I was fortunate enough to attend my first Liverpool match in the late eighties - a 5-0 drubbing of Nottingham Forest at Anfield. It was a fantastic night of football and the banter that went with it was unbelievable - the scousers have a very forthright sense of humour.
  
I was hooked from that day forward. However, supporting Liverpool as a kid was not all about winning trophies. After the 1988 loss against Wimbledon when John Aldridge had his penalty saved by Dave Beasant I cried for weeks on end. And I remember accusing Princess Diana of being a Wimbledon supporter when she presented the F.A cup to Dennis Wise - no matter how Mum and Dad tried to set me straight - I wasn't having any of it. As far as I was concerned Aldridge, Houghton, Beardsley, McMahon, Gillespie, Abblett, Barnes and the rest of them were invincible - and to a 9-year-old they were absolute icons. I would try and emulate them wherever I was, be it at home or at school.
  
And the travesty that was the Hillsborough disaster really struck a chord. I remember Craig Johnston flying in from Australia and weeping in front of the Kop, which was transformed into a shrine by Liverpool supporters. To me that just summed up the player-fan relationship. United in grief for the victims and united as a club when we beat Everton that year in the final.
  
I don't even want to attempt to mention the loss to Arsenal on the final day of the season in 1989. I remember some cousins who were supposed to go to work that night - they didn't bother going in because they were so upset.
  
Dad also got me a copy of Liverpool in Europe, a BBC video about Liverpool's glorious past. I loved that video; I used to have it on all the time, after school, after mosque. Myself and many others were introduced to the likes of super-sub, David Fairclough. Who could forget those amazing European nights? Magical.
  
Speaking of amazing European nights let's fast forward to Istanbul! It was half time - I was devastated, and my brother really wanted to rib me - but he kept quiet and let me be. I remember thinking, we've come this far and we can't just throw it away. What would Shankly say if he was around? What about those amazing European nights? Saint Etienne? Roma? At that very moment I remember Dad saying: "anything can happen in football."
  
I just managed to pick myself up as it was time for the late afternoon prayer and as soon as I finished I got myself back in front of the TV with everyone else. I remember people around me sneaking little prayers in and I got so many texts from people who genuinely believed Liverpool could do it. But with the possibility of 1988 rearing its ugly head (minus the crying) I was just so down. I needed some encouragement from somewhere! Thankfully the 12th man did their jobs (the supporters in Istanbul.)
  
Suddenly the rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone started ringing across the stadium - I just knew the tradition and history of the past was going to manifest itself in some way, shape or form, and did it ever. When Gerrard scored the first - I just shouted Tommy Smith! All right, so it wasn't a copy of the ex-Liverpool captain's goal in 1977 - but the circumstances surrounding the way he scored was to some extent similar to that great header in Rome and suddenly the adrenalin was pumping and I knew from that moment on a comeback was on the cards! When the second and third goals went in it was pure delirium, something I cannot explain. And when Dudek was doing the Grobbelaar impression on the goal line, I didn't know whether to laugh or bite my finger nails! "What are you doing you nutter!" shouted my brother. But I insisted Dudek knew what he was doing. We all know what happened next. And when I heard about Rafa's immortal words: "You are Liverpool Football Club - get out there!" I knew messrs Paisley and Shankly would have been very proud. What a game. What a night.
  
Fast forward again to this season and I think Rafa's done a sterling job. Fans will have to be patient, Shankly didn't make Liverpool a great team in a matter of days or months, it took him years to sew the seeds of success and then pass on the helm to the great Bob Paisley, who then firmly established Liverpool as the team everyone feared.
  
Although it's unfair to compare and contrast Rafa to Shanks and Paisley, I can't help but insist that Rafa has done his research on this club. He has carefully examined the careers of Shanks and Paisley and clearly wants to emulate them. He has adopted a youth policy that is very exciting to say the least. Scouting young players with potential then nurturing them into world class players is the Liverpool way as far as I'm concerned. Fair enough things have changed nowadays - clubs like to buy full internationals - but I have a feeling Rafa will continue to land some undiscovered talent such as reserve team players Jack Hobbs and Godwin Antwi. And with none other than Steve Heighway looking after the academy, I genuinely believe we can look forward to seeing some great young players progress into the first team in a few years time. Rafa is the kind of guy who can take an ordinary player and make him into something special.
