What hernandez can do, maxi can do to..first goal in under 1 minue and what the hell has happened to Maxi! He cannot stop scoring!And on the 6th minute Maxi scores again! What the hell!
Felt like Dejavu in 5 mintes! Just proves my point about what good management does! Kenny has brought great things to this legendary club but the most apparent thing is inspiration! I mean look at Spearing, Lucas, Maxi, Kuyt!
One would just have to wonder what would have happened to Babel if he played for Dalglish!
Anyway Maxi was denied a penalty at the 14th minute mark but with the momentum they were on, this possessed Red Men were unstoppable as Kuyt knocked his 5th in 5 games and Liverpool were three nil up!
The irony of it all is we were killing Uncle Roy's former team and that smirk on Mark Hughes took my pain of a waking up at 2.45 a.m to watch the game so much easier.
Suarez was running rings around Hanggeland and boy was I glad Hodgson didn't buy him!
Maxi almost got his hattrick on the 24th minute as the reds kept on the pressure!
At this point you had to wonder if Liverpool were playing with 13men!
Clint Dempsey had a decent chance in the 33rd minute and Glen Johnson mad a save in the 33rd Minute
.
Fulham mounted some unusual pressure but this was soaked up by the defence and we went to the half three up with a possibility of a second Maxi hattrick this season!
Bobby Zamora came in place for Davies in the second half to add firepower for the Fulham attack and in the 47th minute Meireless was replaced by Jonjo Shelvey for a possible hamstring injury - Oh dear!
Fulham attacked relentlessly with Gudjohnson and Zamora but our defense stood strong! Kuyt was moving gingerly and he looked like he had a problem. Dembele pulled one back for Fulham in the 5gth minute and Fulham looked like they could try to emulate the Mighty Istanbul reds!
It was one way traffic at this point with Fulham finding a second wind! A possible Carroll replacement?
Skrtel picked up a yellow card for holding back Zamora i the 65th minute outside the box which gave Fulahm a possibility of converting but some good defending prevented a second goal. Andrew Johnson came on for Gudjohnson and looked like Hughes was giving it all he could to try salvage a draw!
And you knew it was coming !!!! 69th minute MAXI SCORES HIS SECOND HATTRICK IN 3 GAMES! 4-1!
AND TWITTER WAS FLOODED WITH MAXI HATTRICK UPDATES!

and what turned out to be a route became a router! Suarez gets a much deserved goal in the 75th minute !
5-1!
Maxi was replaced to a standing ovation by Joe Cole in the 81st minute. Steve Sidwell knocked a humdinger in the 85th minute to salvage some consolation! It was a stunner but one would think that this was too little too late! Shelvey almost knocked in his first Liverpool Goal in the 87th minute only to be denied by the Australian keeper. Dammit half a dozen sounds really good!
4 minutes extra time( without a sight of Carroll) and all in all, we have had a great game with the prospect of Europa. Actually this win takes us to 5th ahead of Spurs. We were denied a 6th when a penalty was denied by the ref when Baird stopped a Kuyt shot with his arms but what the hell! Final whistle :
Liverpool 5 - Fulham 2
