A rousing win, although Toulouse played horribly, really. But the best part of the match was definitely the singing of Z Cars at the beginning of it. Z Cars is to Everton what You'll Never Walk Alone is to Liverpool, but the Liverpool fans sang it nonetheless, in memory of Rhys Jones, the 11-year-old who had been stabbed. This goes to show that there are more important things than football, and it warmed my heart to see the Kop belt out Z Cars and Rhys Jones' family being there.

Apart from that, the match was pretty one-sided, Liverpool dominating for most of it and really, there should have been six or seven goals in it, with the number of chances they created. Good to see Leto and Leiva get their debuts, before that I thought they were Lucas Leto, one person! Leto looked a decent prospect, while I didn't see much of Lucas. Benayoun has, however, convinced me he is class, and so is Babel, for the limited time he was on. Good to see Crouch and Kuyt grabbing their goals, too. And Hyypia did well to get his goal, who would have thought the big Finn would score a header after breaking his nose a match before?
Also, here's a snippet of a commentary of the Liverpool vs Toulouse match: "Cross to Crouch at the far post, and he poked it home." "The Toulouse defense might have mistaken him for the far post."
