SubscribeThere is Nothing to Celebrate in Xabi Alonso’s Goal Against Newcastle
Liverpool managed to make it to the top half of the Premiership after a series of pathetic games against Everton and Chelsea saw their standing drop by winning against a lowly squad in Newscastle. Liverpool won the game with a score of 2 – 0 on goals coming from Dirk Kuyt and Xabi Alonso.
Xabi Alonso was happy to fire a goal from 65 yards straight to the back of the net giving Liverpool their second goal. There is nothing to celebrate really, especially when both goals of Liverpool where scored against a second-rated goalkeeper—Steve Harper—who was clearly off in both instances.
Liverpool is expected to win against a team like Newcastle who doesn’t have enough firepower and top rated players to give them a good and well deserved match.
Newcastle on the other hand should be happy and worry about nothing since a well budgeted team like Liverpool is surely going to win, and beating them is possible, but it would be more of a bonus this season.
