Feyenoord 1 Liverpool Fc 1

The last two games in the Port of Rotterdam Tournament involving Liverpool.Porto.Feyenoor, and Shanghei were played yesterday at the former home of Liverpool Striker Dirk Kuyt..while with Feyenoord Kuyt scored 76 goals in just over 100 games!!! Welcomed by the Feyenoord contingenet who still hold him in high regard it was unfortunate that his shot from outside the box was not witnessed by the referee and his assistant.Too slow to keep up with the play the assistant wasn`t in position to signal the goal as Kuyts thunderbolt cannoned off the underside of the bar and bounced clearly a good foot over the line.It just wasnt to be Liverpools day.Feyenoord scored on the stroke of half time after Liverpoool had comfortably controlled the game. When a second half penalty was given for handball against Arbeloa it could have been argued the officials had been bribed by the Porto management.The ball struck Arbeloa in the face as the effervescent Drenke tried to get in a croiss from the left.Despite furious protestations from Carragher and others the penalty stood.Justice was done though when Reina saved comfortable as the penalty taker hit the ball to the keepers right!

It was left to Steven Gerrard to get Liverpool back on terms as he burst into the box on the lft hand side.The ball bobbled up nicely for him as he got past the defender and guided the ball into the bottom right corner past the advancing Feyenoord keeper.
A last minute save from Reina preserved Liveerpools unbeaten pre-seasson status.

With the Premier League starting next week it is difficult to see which is Liverpools best team at the moment given the influx of so many new players.It is to be hoped Benitez has this sorted by Saturday as Aston Villa away has not always been a happy hunting ground for the Reds.
