Result: Watford 0 - 3 Liverpool


Three good goals, three away goals and things seem back on track. All in all I think the result was needed, something a bit bigger than 1-0 or 2-1 to get the spirits back on high ground as Liverpool beat Watford 3-0 at Vicarage Road. Surprise surprise, Pepe Reina is back in goal and we don’t concede anything.

The near capacity crowd saw Craig Bellamy strike with a great tap in after 34 minutes before Peter Crouch added two of his own to keep Liverpool in third place, 1 point ahead of Arsenal. Bellamy’s tap in was impressive, Finnan sending in a lovely low cross along the box from the right to meet Bellamy at the back post who turned sharp to fire home from close range.

Bellamy will be disappointed not to have scored a second, Ben Foster unable to get a hold on Bellamy’s 40th minute strike which teed up Peter Crouch to head home before Crouch added his second and Liverpool’s third just minutes into the second half, the lanky forward rattling home from 12 yards - Bellamy again having a hand in the setup of the goal.

The result gives Liverpool a boost ahead of the next league game - Chelsea. Last thing we need is to recover well after the disaster against Arsenal only to fall at the hurdle next weekend and drop valuable points. But thats for another post altogether. For now, I’m just happy to see the side back to winning ways.

    Watford were woeful, and if not for the crappy pitch and terrible atmosphere (I understand a Rugby team also plays there?) we would have knocked another 3 or 4 past them. As it was we never shifted out of first gear, and there was no real need to. I cannot see them staying in the prem, and will be glad to see the other rubbish like West Ham and Charlton follow suit. If Wigan aren’t careful Heskey might end up at Everton next season when he invokes his relegation clause.

    Ah Watford will go down at the end of the season, can’t really see them coming back at this stage when on home soil they were absolutely no match for Liverpool on any part of the pitch across the 90 minutes. Pity, I always like to see the minnows put up a fight and stay up when they’re given the chance (reading, portsmouth etc who have completely turned around their clubs fortunes in recent seasons).

Got something to say?
