Sunderland 1 Liverpool 1: Suarez on target to spare Rodgers' blushes

If comfort and consolation is needed after a week in the history of a great football club that stretched the limits of trauma and heartache, it could be simply offered in the match statistics.
On the face of it, a result which condemned Liverpool to the worst start  to a league campaign for more than a hundred years would paint a bleak picture of their current situation.
Not a bit of it. This was a performance which promised plenty, certainly not famine. They had 20 goal attempts; six on target, as opposed to Sunderland’s nine and four on target. They had 52 per cent of possession and their siege of the home goal in the second half was incessant.

Steven Gerrard was adamant that a point was the least reward they could have expected. He said: ‘We tried and, even though we were one down, we controlled the game. Their goal was against the run of play. It would have been really nice to take the three points home for the fans after the week we’ve had, and anybody who saw the game would have been proud of how we played.
‘We knew it wouldn’t happen overnight. It depends on how quickly we get the message the manager is trying to give. You saw today it won’t be long.’
Indeed it will not and the timing of next Sunday’s visit of Manchester United might be significant, not only for the team, but more especially for Brendan Rodgers.
‘We haven’t got the result we wanted but, I believe, as the season goes on, we will only get better,’ said the Liverpool manager. ‘I thought the performance was outstanding, with our creativity and movement.

‘We went behind to a soft goal, but I thought we showed a great reaction in the second half and Luis Suarez has been brilliant. I’m sure Sunderland will be happier with the point than us.’
Sunderland’s statistics are nothing to write home about either. Their three-draw start camouflages a record of 11 successive Premier League games without a win. And Martin O’Neill admitted his team could not grumble at sharing a point. ‘Overall they probably deserved their equaliser,’ he said. Suarez was never away from the action. He raised the ire of Sunderland defenders after tumbling under a challenge from John O’Shea and getting booked by Martin Atkinson.

But he had the last laugh with his  71st-minute equaliser, punishing a slip by second-half substitute Titus Bramble to hit a close-range volley that ended Simon Mignolet’s stubborn resistance.
Just to rub in Liverpool’s misfortune, Sunderland’s  29th-minute goal was scored by someone  who was an avowed Liverpool fan as a kid.
Steven Fletcher continued his remarkable run since his £12million move from Wolves during the summer with his third goal in two starts for his new club — his fifth in his last five games. Craig Gardner should be credited with the spadework.

The full-back charged down the right, evaded two challenges, before delivering a low cross for Fletcher to punish more poor defending, firstly by Pepe Reina, who failed to cut it, then by Martin Skrtel, who also missed it, to turn the ball in.
O’Neill added: ‘I am delighted for Steven Fletcher and the crowd have quickly taken to him. Strikers are judged by their goals and he took that one brilliantly.’

LAGENDA BOLA SEPAK MALAYSIA!!! Hilang Tiada Pengganti

LAGENDA BOLASEPAK MALAYSIA

Dato’ Mokhtar Dahari ( 13 November 1953 – 11 Julai 1991) adalah legenda pemain bola sepak kebangsaan Malaysia dari Selangor. Beliau telah diberi gelaran SuperMokh kerana keberaniannya menjaringkan banyak gol sepanjang kariernya. Dia mewakili Malaysia dari 1972 hinggalah 1985.
Allahyarham Mokhtar Dahari yang masih dikenang sehingga ke hari ini walaupun hayatnya sudah bersemadi hampir 15 tahun lalu.
Biarpun ramai generasi muda masa kini tidak mengenali dengan dekat bintang negara itu, tapi hampir semua pasti pernah mendengar namanya – pemain dengan bakat semulajadi yang mengangkat imej Malaysia setaraf dengan jaguh bola sepak dunia. Paling ketara Pestabola Merdeka yang menjadi gelanggang dia mempamer taring dan kehebatannya.
Pada usia 23 tahun, Mokhtar atau lebih terkenal dengan jolokan SuperMokh diiktiraf Majalah World Star Soccer sebagai penyerang terbaik Asia dan ketika itu jugalah dia dinobatkan Olahragawan Kebangsaan 1976.
Mokhtar Dahari
Kelebihan dimiliki ‘Supermokh’ banyak dengan sepakan deras bak peluru menjadi elemen penting hinggakan tiga jari mendiang R Arumungam, bekas penjaga gol negara pernah patah ketika cuba menampannya. Itu belum dikira bijaknya penyerang ternama negara itu membaca gerakan lawan dan meloloskan diri.
Dengan 167 kaps antarabangsa, dia berjaya meletakkan Malaysia di kedudukan tertinggi dipentas bola sepak Asia seterusnya mampu membuka mata dunia hingga kuasa bola sepak dunia. Skuad England B bimbingan Bobby Robson turut merasa bahangnya selepas diikat skuad negara 1-1 hasil jaringan menakjubkan Mokhtar.
Walaupun kelibat pemain istimewa seperti Mokhtar yang tiada galang gantinya sehingga kini sudah lama meninggalkan kita, bayangan kehebatannya tidak pernah padam apatah lagi apabila mengingati susah payah anak kelahiran Setapak, Kuala Lumpur itu mencipta nama walaupun dia memang sudah memiliki kurniaan yang tiada pada orang lain.
Mokhtar sangat gigih ketika latihan, sejak di bangku sekolah lagi dia yang menuntut di Victoria Institution tidak pernah jemu berlatih sehingga namanya sudah sebati dengan skuad kebangsaan pun dia masih sama apabila terus mengawal bola sambil menggelecek tiang-tiang kecil sebelum melepaskan tendangan kencang ke gawang yang kosong untuk menajamkan kuasa pemusnah yang ada pada dirinya.
Malah dia tidak suka diganggu ketika latihan apatah lagi mengaitkan kemasyhuran dirinya di padang dengan kehidupan peribadi hingga menjadikan dia idola paling diminati.
Apapun kehilangan permata paling berharga bola sepak negara itu tidak seharusnya ditangisi sampai bila-bila dan generasi sekarang sepatutnya cuba menjadikannya sebagai motivasi meningkatkan diri supaya bola sepak negara kembali segar seperti sebelumnya.
Semoga apa yang dicoretkan disini mungkin merintis pemain-pemain terhebat negara bagi menggalas tugas skuad negara yang semakin lesu dah lemah sehingga menjadi belasahan pemain luar. Mungkin ramai pemain lagi yang berbakat cuma bakat-bakat mereka tidak dapat digilap seperti Allahyarham Mokhtar Dahari…
