Who let the cat out? A tabby provided the most excitement in the Liverpool vs Spurs match, a cagey affair. Luis Suarez came on in the 66th minute after his nine match ban and promptly plonked Scott Parker on the abdomen with a scything foot, an accident more than anything else, but with Suarez the line is finely drawn. The Uruguayan was booked but escaped more severe punishment.
Wayne Rooney, now an expert on red cards promptly tweeted his instant verdict.
“If ref sees that kick from suarez and books him for it it should be red,” tweeted the Manchester United striker.
He got a reaction from Kenny Dalglish, the same as he did with Roberto Mancini. May not be the wisest move before that big Liverpool vs Man Utd game this weekend. For his part, Dalglish stuck to his guns reiterating the wrongness of Suarez’s ban. In the mishandling of the John Terry racial abuse case, he may just have a point.
Spurs for all that attacking talent could not get much. Maybe they were missing Harry Redknapp who’s preoccupied with fighting his tax evasion charges and missed his flight to the match after his plane developed engine trouble. It was their defense providing the biggest moment as Michael Dawson (how about an England spot in place of John Terry?) made a great tackle to take the ball away from Andy Carroll with the striker set to shoot. Liverpool’s scoring drought has seen them score 14 goals in their last 12 matches with Carroll unable to take up the scoring slack in Suarez’s absence.
