Just another day of history at Anfield

I know no one likes to label a win as comfortable, especially against top rate competition like PSV, but that is about as close as it comes. The fourth minute goal by Kuyt obviously helped that cause, but the first-half in this match was nothing more than shooting practice for the Reds. It's great that Keane finally got on the scoresheet, as the first goal is always the hardest for a player to overcome. And Gerrard's free-kick was just an absolute monster, I don't think Isaksson would have wanted to get his hands on that if he could have. There isn't much to be said for this match; Liverpool has been the receiving ends of dominations like this before in years that they would go deep (or even win) the tournament, so I don't think there was too much said about Liverpool or PSV Eindhoven in this match. Any team that scores early and is able to keep the pressure up in an electric home environment is obviously going to cruise to an easy victory most of the time. The real test will come in our next two games against Atletico Madrid and the absolutely unbelieveable Sergio Aguero.

If you haven't checked out his goal from their match against Olympique Marseille, here you go, it's filthy: http://www.101greatgoals.com/videodisplay/1618835/

That control is just nuts, and I hope he doesn't make Carragher and Skrtel look as foolish as he made the OM defenders. If we can get out of those two encounters with at least 4 points, (or honestly even just 3), I'll be more than pleased. That sort of result would really all but guarantee placement into the knockout stages, as I can't see us dropping 6 points between a home match against OM and an away match with PSV. This is a brief post, maybe I'll do like a live diary for the next game so it isn't a much "In case you missed it"
