Liverpool FC v Queens Park Rangers, Anfield, Liverpool
Liverpool 1 – 0 Queens Park Rangers
A legend departs, Jamie Carragher, 737 games in the famous red of Liverpool FC. A one club man, 11 major honors, a man who gave 100% every single match of his career, easily one of the Liverpool FC greats, more so in a period when we aren’t the dominant force as we once were. The day belonged to Carragher and rightly so.
Coutinho had an effort chalked off as the ref decided that the ball hadn’t crossed the line. Turns out it had… Goal line technology is coming in to the Premier League next year so that’s a good thing. He later scored from outside the box.
Carragher himself hit the post from about 30 yards after being urged from the crowd to shoooooot. A real shame it never hit the back of the net.
One thing that hasn’t been mentioned much in the media regarding this game and that was the debut of 17 year old Jordon Ibe. The young lad had a great game indeed. He had a few nerves in the first 5 minutes or so but soon settled down and had a fantastic debut, he even got an assist on Coutinho 23rd minute winner. Ibe didn’t seem scared to run at defenders and attack them. Rodgers clearly looked at this game knowing full well that the main focus of the game will be on Jamie Carragher, and not the young teen. Wise.
