Bullish Rafa shines on Shanks night - Liverpool 2-1 Wigan

Lined in honour were the old guard
Amongst the fabled, Yeats and St John
Amazing grace echoed at half time
Night a legend much thought upon

Anfield nostalgia the centrepiece
Valiant Rafa ditched 442
Kirkland’s folly for Ngog’s sixth
Chitchat he’s still a Red untrue

At the death Nzogbia’s strike
But for a Jason Scotland volley
Sub Torres’ goal made certain
Not enough to spoil the party
