Liverpool were hammered 6-3 by Arsenal in the Carling Cup tie earlier today. The match was played at Anfield, Liverpool's supposed fortress, where they had just conceded 3 goals to Arsenal just a few days ago. Arsenal fielded a very much weakened young side while Liverpool fielded a mix of veterans and youngsters.

In the earlier stages of the game, Liverpool controlled most of the possession without really creating any serious chances. However, as with the FA Cup game between Arsenal and Liverpool, Arsenal took the lead against the run of play. Jeremie Aliadere scored a goal after controlling a high ball by Kolo Toure nicely. Jerzy Dudek could not get enough of his hand to it and pushed it back to Ali, who scored a simple tap-in.

Liverpool were stunned but not for long. Useless Alex Song, who once again showed why people that are mentally slow should not play football, gave away a cheap freekick which Aurelio of Liverpool took. The shot was punched by Alumnia and went to Garcia who somehow kicked the ball to Robbie Fowler, leaving him with a simple tap-in. After that goal, old man Robbie was pretty much anoynomous, showing why old drug addicts do not go along with scocer. Arsenal became worried and started making careless mistakes. It seemed like a matter of time before Liverpool scored.

However, a few minutes later, Arsenal scored. In the space of 5 minutes, Arsenal scored a quick fire treble through Julio 'Fatty' Baptista, and Alex Song. The Beast as Baptista is known, got a freekick when a Liverpool player hit his face. It was a little cheap, but justified and Fatty curled the kick over the wall, leaving Dudek helpless. Baptista got a tap in a few minutes later after good work from Ali, while Song scored a goal when he was standing aimlessly in the L'pool penalty area. It was 4-1 to The Arsenal at halftime and the Gooners seemed to be in cruise control. Liverpool were booed off the field, though that probably had more to do with Dudek instead of the rest of the team.

Fatty missed a penalty, practically the only shot that Dudek got his hands to throughout the match. He was not to be denied his hattrick though and scored his third from a long range effort. It was 5-1 to Arsenal, a totally unexpected scoreline. Pool scored 2 goals soon, through a Stevie G volley and a Sami Hyppia header, making it a tense finale with the score at 5-3. Arsenal scored a fourth through Fatty, making it safe and the match was effectively over.

Pool fans may complain that the referee was shocking in his decision making, but the magnitude of the victory speaks for itself. Arsenal were more clinical and this in turn, led to their victory.

In addition to the loss, Pool had 2 players off injured, Gonzalez and Luis Garcia, making it a very bad day for Rafa Benitez indeed. In the postmatch interview, Rafa seemed close to tears, feeling very sorry for the Anfield faithful who seem to sing YNWA just to console themselves after a loss.

All in all, Arsenal seemed to be playing to frustrate me as all three goal scorers had just been recently criticized by me. All that was missing was for Justin Hoyte to pop up with a goal and prove that I am indeed a total retard. Even Fatty was made to look like a class player while Song showed that he could pass the ball decently. It was a sad day for the doubters but a good result for the fans. Ali- howeveryouspellhisname- looked like a smaller version of Robin vanPersie today.

MOTM: Jerzey Dudek. Dudek deserves props for drawing comparisons to one of the forgotten legends of football, Massimo Taibi. Congrats , Jerzey.
