Power vs. will was in direct display as the mercurial Liverpool faced the rich kids of Manchester city, will won over power as the red army booked their place at the new wembley.
Liverpool were always the likeliest winner as they took to the field in bright spirits and bravely took the battle to the city and never for even once paused. You could see the desire they had to win. Manchester city are the rich kid and their players are handpicked from amongst the best but in this battle, it was never about who was more skilled or who was more rich, it was about who had the stronger will. It was about who had the pure passion. liverpool beat city
In a battle of will against power, the will often win. It is like magic. The passion with which Liverpool applied themselves to their daunting task was at times too beautiful to behold. Henderson was beautiful on the ball, Johnson was clever, Enrique was strong, Gerrard was passionate, Bellamy was on fire, agger was uncompromising, skertel was in no mood to take shit from anyone, the referee was cool headed, pepe reina had little to do but was beaten twice, he is a great goalkeeper, possibly the best in the league but at times, it is just not your day, it was definitely Joe hart’s day. If Stewart downing can play as he played against man city, he has a great future in Liverpool and no one can fault kuyt and Adam for the way they applied themselves although Adam was lucky not to concede a penalty.
If Manchester united and their ilks were watching the match, they must be worried people since they know that on Saturday, Liverpool will turn up in the same way if not stronger and they are in for a rude shock if they will think at all that the game at anfield wore out the red army. Liverpool will be stronger and fresher and up for the challenge
