That's what I was wondering. I couldn't figure it out. He's not in an LFC jacket. He may just be a personal friend of Suarez's.

Robinson, isn't it?

This is bestness!!!

As much as we might want to, we can’t talk about this one solely in terms of the football, even if it finished so well. The booing of Evra lasted most of the match, the away supporters were heard chanting about Hillsborough on multiple occasions, a Liverpool fan was photographed making monkey gestures towards Evra, and reports trickled out about United supporters taken into custody for spitting on the Hillsborough memorial outside the stadium. At times it felt like the match was best viewed through small cracks between fingers, with healthy doses of dread accompanying the excitement the football brought with it.
In that regard there are plenty of questions left off the pitch, and hopefully in some way both clubs find a way to address the volatility that so often feels as though it’s about to bubble over. That it’ll happen prior to Liverpool’s visit to OT in two weeks is far too optimistic, but we can hope.
As far as the actual match, it was up and down from a Liverpool perspective, with the early confidence mostly erased by United long stretches on top. But they survived nearly everything the guests could muster, and aside from a couple of nervy moments for Reina outside of Park’s goal, United were unable to seriously challenge Liverpool’s goal. No surprise that stalwart efforts fro Skrtel and Agger were at the heart of that, and Kelly put in a very good showing on the right as I expected him to.
The midfield was better without Carragher than they were with him, but it’d be unfair to harshly criticize the man for being asked to fill a void. Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson were solid further forward, with Henderson pushing up in attack late in the match and Gerrard lasting as long as he could muster.Adam came on to positive effect despite me dreading his presence, and Downing had another strong performance showing despite shitting out of more than a few challenges.
Most impressive on the day for me was Carroll, and I’m not really concerned as to whether or not that’s down to the fact that he’s been so poor so often. He was lively from the start, clearly heeding the words of Dalglish post-Bolton, and worked the United defense all day long, often doing so completely in isolation. That he won the header that led to the winner was a justified reward for one of his strongest displays in a Liverpool shirt. And that it fell to Kuyt was the icing on the cake—a man previously struggling for form and influence, he was vastly better against City than he had been all season, and today he’s a match-winner and he proved us all wrong (or at least me)
So overall, today was a mixed bag, with plenty of reports of regrettable and embarrassing behavior to emerge on both ends as the day progresses. And while can’t ignore that, left to hope the parties responsible are held accountable for their actions, we can celebrate a week that saw Liverpool, as a football club, start to follow through.


All in all this win should bring some of the lost confidence and fire back into our squad.
