24 January 1995
The RS started much more strongly and had a lot of possession and pressure
for the first 15-20 minutes, but a Babb foul on Horne for which he was booked
eased the pressure. A few minutes earlier Burrows was lucky not to go for
a second bookable offence. Jackson, who'd been having a sormer allowed himself
to get beaten by Bjornebye I think and from the cross both Fowler and Jones
missed chances, Unnsie getting a good clearing header in. Horne had a shot
deflected wide as we built up the pressure Dunc has another volley easily
saved by James, then soon after with only about five to go a really good
downward header which James did really well to stop. the best chance by far.
Then he got a break and shot just over with only two to go. In the last minute
a Hinchcliffe long throw was met by Dunc and Rideout had a shot (suspicion
of hand ball by Ruddock?) and then Dunc as well.
Almost the last kick was actually a header from the big man which Scales
did well to clear.
So we finished much stronger.
Man of the match for us: Dunc over Rideout (just) IMHO, for the chaos he
created in the RS defence. Babb and Scales couldn't handle him. But Rideout
was everywhere, tackling back, being a fifth defender really often, winning
ball for Dunc and feeding off him (who needs Mark Hughes?)
Overall I think a draw was a fair result especially away and that crappy
midfield did it again!
Liverpool 0 - 0 Everton
