SPURS LOSE TO CHELSEA

Liverpool have been handed a boost this evening in their quest for Europe, with Tottenham Hotspur losing 2-1 to Chelsea at Stamford bridge. A first-half goal by Santos gave Spurs  the lead, but a controversial goal was awarded to Chelsea when Gomes spilled a ball onto his own goaline and the goal was given by the Linesman. Torres was taken off on 61 mins, what a shame, to be replaced by Kalou who scored the winner for Chelsea on 87 mins. The result is great for Liverpool as we will go 5th with a win tomorrow against Newcastle, it also keeps Chelsea in the hunt for the title, they are now just 3 points behind Utd, who play Arsenal at the Emirates, also on Sunday. Lets hope for a Liverpool victory at Anfield and that Arsenal beat the scum Utd.

MOURINHO TO LIVERPOOL? NO THANKS

So, the "Special one" does it again.
He has only gone and won the Copa Del Ray (King's Cup) in Spain tonight by beating the mighty Barcelona, in extra time 1-0.
Ronaldo headed home the goal for his 42nd of the season late in the game so, another trophy claimed by Mourinho.
He has now won silverware for FC Porto, Chelsea and Real Madrid amongst others in his remarkable Managerial career.
But the point is, how does he win trophies?
He does it by adopting extremely negative tactics that, sadly, do often prevail against even the best teams in the world like Barca.
He started without a recognised striker, leaving Adebeyor on the bench and instead set about Barcelona with 10 men committed to tackle and fight for every ball.
It worked, Ronaldo hit them on the break with a header in extra-time, a great header on the counter-attack.
But, if this is how you play football then I don't wanna know.
Defend at all costs, negagate the opposition and maybe, get a goal on the break.
Thats Mourinho's tactics and always have been.
Some rumours have been flying about that he is interested in returning to the Premiership, that may be so, but I, for one, don't wanna see him next or near the club.
I would much rather see Kenny Dalglish get a long contract with his attacking brand of football and José can look elsewhere.
What Fenway Sports Group think is still unclear.

FELT LIKE A VICTORY

What an eventful game at the Emerites.
Losing Aurelio, Carra and Carroll would have derailed many a side playing at Arsenal, but Liverpool just stuck at it right to the bitter end.
After going behind in the 8th minute of injury time, I was sure we had lost, but Liverpool's young guns went for it and Lucas first won a free-kick and then a penalty which Dirk Kuyt typically rifled home to give Liverpool a deserved draw in the 110 minute of play.
It felt like a win such was the magnintude of the task placed on our players.
With so many players out injured like: Steven Gerrard, Daniel Agger and Glen Johnson, then to lose Aurelio, Carra and Carroll, its a minor miracle that Liverpool got anything from the game.
The fact that that young, inexperienced side claimed a dramatic late draw at Arsenal speaks volumes about them, the team and the manager Kenny Dalglish..
He has breathed new life into Liverpool since he took over in January, with minimum resources, he has achieved maximum results.
Well done Liverpool and King Kenny.
Wenger, you are always a bad loser.

Steve Gerrard Undergoes 2nd Operation

Steven Gerrard has undergone a second operation on his groin, the operation was a success according to Liverpool FC.
"He will now begin his rehabilitation and will be ready for pre-season training."
Its a terrible shame that our Captain will miss the rest of our season, as the midfield is alot poorer without him, lets hope he makes a full recovery this time and that he will be available for the new season.

LIVERPOOLS WALKING WOUNDED

Liverpool's injury crisis just got a whole lot worse with the news that Steven Gerrard suffered a reccurance of his groin ingury after a training session on Friday morninGod we badly missed him against West Brom on Saturday. Lucus Leiva and Jay Spearing will not win us the League or any other competition this year or next so its time for Kenny and Comolli to look wide and far for new quality players in midfield for our club.

Weather they be the likes of Charlie Adam from Blackpool or some foreign imports, it doesn't matter, truth is Liverpool have to buy some quality midfielders and wingers for the new season, the current crop just arent good enough.

With Gerrard, Johnson, Kelly, Agger and Aurelio all out injured, its tough times ahead for Liverpool FC.

STEVIE G INJURY LATEST

After Saturday's deeply frustrating loss to West Brom at the Hawthorns, Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish was asked about the fitness of captain Steven Gerrard:
"Steven was training yesterday and innocuously tried to turn with the ball and felt a sharp pain. Same injury but not the same thing.
"We'll get him assessed and by the end of the week we'll know better about everybody."
Who knows if Gerrard would have started in the first team if he had not picked up another knock in training.
The truth is his presence in midfield was sorely missed as Lucas and young Jay Spearing were overwhelmed by Roy Hodgson's side, time after time.
We had a great chance to close the gap on Spurs, who only drew 0-0 with Wigan, but we blew it.
With further injuries during the game to defenders Glen Johnson (muscle) and Daniel Agger (knee), we are really up against it now to finish any higher up the table than our current position of 5th.
By the way Roy, how come you couldn't get the best out of our team like you did with West Brom today?
