We had a corner in the second half and Gabby ran over to Petrov and said something then Petrov ran over to the bench and to me it looked like Petrov was telling Houllier that Gabby had pulled his hamstring as he pointed to the back of his leg when telling Houllier whatever Gabby told him.

That's the reason Gabby was taken off, it may have been a dead leg, but he did point to the back of his leg.

Albrighton felt his groin on Friday Houllier said, maybe he just didn't want to risk him for 10 mins of the game when a full weeks rest would be better for him?

Why couldn't Gabby have told the bench himself instead of having Petrov as the middle man relaying the message?

Fantastic win that does a lot to allay our relegation fears and boost confidence.

It's made all the more better considering that we once again had to play against the referee as well. Blatant penalty not given, obvious goal disallowed, obvious corners not given. It should have easily been a more comprehensive 2 or 3-0 win.

Not surprising that Gabby looks much more effective this game than he has for a long while, the first time he's actually playing in the middle. Houllier should take note. Ditto for Young who was "being an eel" on the wings and actually winning dangerous free kicks for us instead of being dispossessed the moment he touches the ball in the middle.
