今週は、「BW2012 おぼえがき」と「ゴールドフィッシュ・ミニだより」がお休み
です。
その代わりといってはなんですが、現地リヴァプールからのスペシャルな寄稿が
ひとつ! 「謎のフットボールファン」Albert Dockさんのマッチ・レヴューを
掲載します。
今年5月22日発行の「NLW No.506」に続いて2度目の登場となるAlbert Dock
さんですが、今回もまるでプロのライターではないかというほどのクォリティと
情報量です。格調のある文体を味わっていただくために、原文そのままでお届け
します…と書くと、「翻訳するのが面倒だっただけだろう!」というツッコミが
聴こえてきそうですが、はい、そのとおり…じゃなくて、いやいやいや、ほんっ
とにいい文章なんですよ。ぜひ読んでみてください。

Albert Dockさんのレヴューは11月4日に行われた<Liverpool vs Newcastle>の
ものなのですが、それからちょうど1ヶ月が経っています。
両チームのその後の成績は、リヴァプールが2勝1敗2分、ニューカッスルが1
勝4敗となっています。順位はそれぞれ11位と14位。どちらも本来はこの位置
にいるべきチームじゃないですよね。これからがんばって順位を上げてほしいで
す。いや、マグパイズはともかく、レッズにはぜひ!

リヴァプールにあるもうひとつのチーム、エヴァトンのここ5試合の成績は1勝
1敗3分で、やや足踏み状態のような感じではありますが、しかし順位はまだ5
位です。まだまだだいじょうぶ。

プレミアリーグは、これから1ヶ月のうちに6試合が予定されています。全部勝
てば18ポイントを上乗せできますが、全部負ければ0ポイント。ということは、
正月三が日が明けるころにはトップ4ががらりと入れ替わっている、なんてこと
もあり得るわけですよね。
リヴァプールとエヴァトンがトップ4にくい込むような展開になっていればいい
なあ…と、期待を込めて見守りたいです。

「Match Review; LFC vs Newcastle」 / Albert Dock

LIVERPOOL 1 -1 NEWCASTLE
Sunday 4th November 2012
Anfield
Attendance: 44,803

With the season at almost the quarter way mark both of these sides were
below the positions they held at this time last year. Before kick-off
Liverpool were placed 13th with 10 points from 9 games and the visitors
were 10th with 13 points from 9 games. Both had a goal difference of
minus 2 and both sides had become dependent on their main goal scorers
- Suarez for Liverpool and Ba for Newcastle. The Magpies had not won at
Anfield in the league since 1994 and the Reds had won the previous seven
home meetings with them. This game was particularly special for Steven
Gerrard, who was making his 600th appearance for Liverpool in all
competitions.

In the hands of new manager Brendan Rogers (39) Liverpool have this
season been playing a patient passing game and this has led to
noticeable changes in personnel. Club record signing Andy Carroll, whose
strengths are best suited to a more direct style of play, has been
loaned out to West Ham. Charlie Adam, the pinger of long balls, was sold
to Stoke, and Dirk Kuyt, a workhorse at Anfield for 6 years, was sold to
Turkish club Fenerbahce. Expensive but disappointing signings such as
Henderson and Downing are this season often to be found on the
substitutes' bench. Like Arsene Wenger, Rogers aims to bring in young
players and develop them together as a team (he was youth team coach at
Chelsea under Jose Mourinho). Thus players such as 17-year-old Raheem
Sterling, Jesus 'Suso' Saez (19), Andre Wisdom (19) and Nuri Sahin (22)
are often included in the starting line-up. As players have taken time
to become familiar with this system (and also with one another),
performances have varied from reasonable to good, but results have, for
a team of Liverpool's standing, been poor. In fact, this start to the
season is worse than the one (2010-11) under Roy Hodgson, who was
heavily criticised by fans for his over-cautious approach and then
sacked in mid-season. However, Rogers' plan to play positive passing
football based on possession is seen as exciting and has met with
general approval and increased hope for the future.

Newcastle, whose owner Mike Ashley has lost many millions of pounds over
the years and is currently strictly controlling the budget, made no major
signings over the summer, so manager Alan Pardew (51) has been fielding
a very similar line-up to last season. That was an outstanding season in
which they surprised everyone, including themselves; they qualified for
Europe and Pardew was voted Premier League Manager of the Year and also
the League Managers' Association Manager of the Year. Like Liverpool,
however, they have thus far this season underperformed and coming into
this game were looking to improve both their form and their results.

The Magpies started the game as if their main purpose was not to get
beat. They spent much of the first half with most men behind the ball
and seemed content to let Liverpool have possession and play square
balls in front of them. (Overall possession for the match was 59% to 41%
in Liverpool's favour.) This is often a tactic adopted against passing
teams.

The task for Liverpool was to penetrate such a set-up. The nature of
Newcastle's defensive shield forced the home team to have shots from
outside the box in open play, Sterling going close in the tenth minute,
or free-kicks from distance, both Allen and Gerrard having such attempts
saved by Krul. Luis Suarez had a header from inside the box but it went
wide of goal. He was Liverpool's best player on the day but in the first
half he found himself having to drop off to get the ball and try to
create something from deep, but the inexperience of his youthful
team-mates, Sterling in particular, meant they were not taking up the
space vacated by him, so his efforts bore no fruit. He could not be both
provider and finisher. After the game manager Rogers stated that a
priority in the January transfer window will be to find a strike partner
for him. Newcastle's defensive approach was clearly evident from the
behaviour of their keeper, who antagonised the crowd from early on in
the first half by blatantly wasting time when taking standing goal kicks,
something which was made easier by Liverpool not using ball boys/girls.
He persisted with this for the whole game and it was remiss of referee
Taylor not to caution him. The home support also grew frustrated with
the lack of penetration from their team and the Kop was surprisingly
quiet in the first half, a fact which the noisy visiting fans teased
them about.

Playing defensively meant that Newcastle were dependent on trying to
score on the break, but they had few opportunities to do so. Their first
attempt on goal came after fifteen minutes, a shot from Ba that sailed
over the top. It was a surprise, then, when they took the lead in the
forty-third minute. It started with a foul throw by Liverpool on
Newcastle's left, half way into their half. From the throw Newcastle
worked the ball diagonally across field to Ben Arfa on the right wing.
He took the ball past Enrique and his cross went over everyone's head
to the unmarked Cabaye standing beyond the far post at quite a tight
angle. He kept his eye on the ball, calmly composed himself, and when
the ball fell to him he volleyed it accurately back over everyone into
the far corner, a well-worked and well-taken goal. This deflated
Liverpool and encouraged the visitors, who created more chances in the
closing minutes of the half than they had in previous forty minutes.

As expected, Liverpool played with a greater sense of urgency in the
second half, moving the ball around more quickly and venturing longer,
riskier balls in an attempt to get through the Newcastle defence. The
pattern for much of the half consisted of Liverpool attacks (urged on by
a much more vociferous home support) and the occasional Newcastle
counter. For this they the visitors on the speed of Sammy Ameobi, who
had come on for the injured Ba. Liverpool themselves made a substitution
after 65 minutes when Shelvey, a strong, positive attacking midfielder,
replaced Saez. A minute later Liverpool were level thanks to a mixture
of direct play and technical brilliance. From inside the centre circle
in his own half Enrique played a long high ball through to Suarez, who
had spun his marker and was sprinting clear. On the run, Suarez twisted
his upper body sufficiently to receive the dropping ball over his left
shoulder onto his chest so that it fell gently to his feet. At this
point the onrushing keeper was almost upon him and central defender
Coloccini was breathing down his neck. Suarez almost nonchalantly moved
the ball to his left, side-stepped the keeper and walked the ball into
the empty net in front of the baying Kop. This gave the home side the
lift they needed and the remainder of the game consisted of numerous
Liverpool goal attempts, which never quite managed to come off. Downing
came on for Sahin after 74 minutes and injected further pace into their
attack but a second goal just wouldn't come. Sterling had a goal-bound
effort blocked by Taylor and Shelvey had the best chance of the night
but was unable to get sufficient power into his shot from eight yards
and Krul saved. Newcastle managed to hang on to the end even though
their captain Coloccini was sent off in the eighty-fourth minute for a
dangerous lunge with his studs at Suarez.

It was difficult to agree with Newcastle manager Pardew after the game
when he stated that Newcastle deserved the draw, as they were outplayed
for nearly the whole game by a more positive Liverpool side, who had 20
goal attempts to Newcastle's 10 and 14 corners to their 3. Brendan
Rogers can be pleased with another promising display from his new young
players but he knows that he will have to strengthen the squad with more
experience in January. Both of these teams followed this match a few
days later with games in the Europa League; they need to make the most
of that competition while they can because at the moment neither side
looks likely to be playing in Europe next season.
