IS PELLEGRINO THE PROBLEM?

Liverpool have had a very bad start to the season. Thirteen games played only 6 wins and 2 draws to their name with an astounding 20 goals conceded already, our title challenge in all but over in November. Why have Liverpool let in so many goals this season? One has to question the role of […]

Last night’s dramatic play-off between Ireland and France which ended in disgrace for Thierry Henry who twice handled the ball in the box to set up Gallas to score a very controversial goal in extra-time to send Ireland out of the World Cup and France to shamefully go through.

WHATS CRAIG JOHNSON ON ABOUT?

What does former Red, Craig Johnson think he is on about? He is quoted in The Star as saying: “Has he lost the dressing room? Six defeats in eight games would say that he has.” The former Liverpool fancy-dan has got that one wrong, big time. Despite our poor run of form, the players have […]

IS LUCAS WORTH £14MILLION? YES HE IS!

Amazingly, reports in the press today suggest that Lucas Lieva has been the subject of transfer inquiries. Frankly, I am stunned that the lad is even being pursued by other clubs. After a completely uninspiring start to his career at Liverpool, where he couldn’t make a tackle, couldn’t pass the ball to a team-mate and […]

WELCOME BREAK FOR INJURED REDS

While I normally hate the dreaded ‘International Break’, for once, I am glad it is upon us. Liverpool have an injury list as long as your arm and this break of almost two weeks has come at just the right time for us. Obviously, Fernando Torres is the main concern with that Hernia problem as […]
