very good victory.
the game revolved on a short two minute spell.
Bellamy's freekick that put us two-one up.....calamity defending from the newcastle keeper and defender. And Carroll was in there, typically missing with his attempt at a little head flick. Anyways, a goal. And then within a minute or two, Skitrail clears a superb newcastle effort off our line. The entire game hinged on that passage of play.
After going ahead, 2-1, we then could pass the ball around confidently and make the victory look more convincing than it probably really was.
Balance-wise, we are still all over the shop. Hendesron showing signs of coming good (like i have often predicted). Gerrard always loves this type of stage.......great angled goal, through the keeper's legs. We badly miss Lucas. Adam is a good lad, but from what I have seen to date, he just doesn;t do enough work in the middle of the park. I had hoped he would be a Paul Scholes for us. But it's more of a Danny Murphy lite. Carroll continues as usual, hitting the bar when it might have been easier to score. He hits more wood than woody woodpecker. No prizes though for the nearly men.
Team looks united. Defends as one and attacks as one. Balance is required though, especially against top teams. No signs of any decent balance emerging.
