English Premier League

[dauls]

First Man U lose in the 3rd Round and now Liverpool.

For the first time in 50 years both Liverpool and Man U both fail to win a game in the FA Cup.

OK, it was a soft penalty for Reading, but there was 'contact' before the Reading player went down, and as most football pundits seem to say nowadays, "there was contact, so it had to be a penalty".

Reading's winner was a beautiful goal, nice work by Brynjar Gunnarsson on the right wing when he nutmegged Emiliano Insua before crossing for Shane Long to glance in a header from six yards.

The injuries to Gerrard and Torres, turned what was a bad night for Liverpool into a dreadful one.

The problem is, both players have been carrying injuries all season but Benitez always hurries them back too soon and then they break down again. If they need 4 weeks to recover he should give them the full 4 weeks.
