Something just takes over you emotionally, and you can pretend you wont do it, but its just something that just comes across you when it means so much.Ive been involved in that Liverpool v Everton game and its a hugely emotional game, especially at Anfield.So for Liverpool to get the late goal how they did, it was just a rush of emotion.I think for Jurgen, bless him, if there were two pitches he would have probably ran right across them all!Listen back to Brendan Rodgers on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast IN FULL above!
