Its like having a 90 minute orgasm, unless you are actually rooting for Derby to win.
On any other day, more than half the team deserves to win man of the match award. Let me remind everyone that this is the side without Steven Gerrard or Jamie Carragher. Overall everyone played well, Finnan was consistent, Hyppia and Agger never really gave Derby a chance, Aberloa is showing how much he's matured and how he deserves to be involved in every minute of Liverpool's games so far. In midfield, Xabi was excellent, Marcherano is tackling from behind legally(best tackler I've ever seen), Pennant had a great day, Babel, I thought he was just an extra man after losing possession so many times , until he scored that brilliant goal. Kuyt was working so hard, and Torres simply proved why Liverpool paid so much for him. Hey, even the subs were good, Voronin's first touch was a goal, excellent mins per goal ratio. Lets not forget Reina who watched the match from his goal post.

Elsewhere, Fulham scored 1 fluke and 1 acrobatic bicycle kick to draw 3-3 with Tottenham. Robinson is really not doing well, I hope he is not in your fantasy football team.

Roy Keane and Dwight Yorke returns to Man Utd, and were pretty unlucky to lose to another fluke header by Saha. Man of the match was clearly Craig Gordon with his 9 million pound save(shot by saha). The game ended 1-0.

Oh and Owen scored for Newcastle's first home win.
