Ecstasy and Agony!

Last night Liverpool beat the visiting team of PSV Eindhoven by a margin of two goals to nil, but the game was overshadowed by three Liverpool injuries. Mark Gonzalez, Xabi Alonso and Jermaine Pennant were all injured during the win, which leaves Liverpool a little thin on players and rumours of having to play a 4-3-3 formation is rife at the moment. But at least Liverpool are winning in the Champions League, and Steven Gerrard was well and truly back on form, maybe because he was played in the middle of the park again where he plays at his best. Even PSV’s manager Ronald Koeman was impressed with Gerrard saying “The quality of Gerrard was outstanding, it was an excellent midfield performance and was something we could not match.” – High praise indeed from an opposing coach! Steven Gerrard scored his first goal for some time in the middle of the second half and Peter Crouch sealed the win late on with a close range header, both goals were created by Dirk Kuyt. So it was a polished performance from Liverpool, but ultimately the game was overshadowed by injuries to Alonso, Pennant and Gonzalez, so things aren’t looking so good at the moment!

Nothing terribly interesting has happened in my own life, worked on Monday and Tuesday night, and popped down to Voodoo last night to turn the kit on for the rock night which was really poorly attended, which has been a worrying trend of late. It used to be such a busy night, and nothing has really changed, the format has remained the same for more than 5 years. It’s even been improved with the new PA system which offers so much more power and definition over ceiling mounted PA that has been hammered into the ground by so many guest/travelling DJs over the years, leaving it only a shadow of its former self! Hopefully it will pick up again over Christmas, maybe it needs some serious promotion as I haven’t seen any promotion at all for the night outside of Voodoo Lounge, anyway, fingers crossed as it will be a great loss to Plymouth if the Voodoo Alternative night is cancelled, it can’t go on like this forever, any venue has to make money, and Wednesday nights isn’t.
