Liverpool Still Unbeaten At Anfield, But Champions League Spot Is Slipping Away
Liverpool Still Unbeaten At Anfield, But Champions League Spot Is Slipping Away
After nine matches away, El Pistolero was back in the Liverpool line up. The Uruguayan had been watching in the stands as the mighty Reds gained excellent results against Manchester City and Manchester United without him. Suarez came on as a substitute and could not inspire Liverpool against a weakened Spurs team. If not for Gareth Bale's uncharacteristic miss late in the game, Liverpool might have had to endure a night where they dominated the game but had no end result as usual. It's the eighth draw at Anfield and these "undeserved" draws are starting to kill the Reds' pursuit for the final Champions League spot. After some enterprising wins over City, United and then Wolves, Liverpool could not break down a solid Spurs defence in which Michael Dawson was outstanding. Still there weren't enough shots on goal and it was all huff and puff from the Reds in the end.

"Molto bene Ronaldo," he remembered. "I could only see the back of his shirt. United went over the top that night. It was a massacre."Independent: Saturday 12:00 am.
