WHAT A GAME:LIVERPOOL 4-0 REAL MADRID. 2009

One of my favourite memories as a Liverpool fan at Anfield has to be the total destruction of Real Madrid in the Champion’s League knock-out stages back in 2009. Under then Manager, Rafael Benitez, Liverpool produced a magnificent performance to reach the Champions League quarter-finals in style. In a remarkable first half, Real Madrid were torn to […]

LIVERPOOL MAY ONLY BE 3RD SEEDS IN NEXT YEAR’S CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

I don’t really understand how UEFA does their business in terms of Team rankings in regards to Champions League standings and seedings for each Season but I would hazard a guess now that it will not favour Liverpool if they qualify for next year’s Tournament. I did believe that Liverpool would be ranked as 2nd […]

LETS RECOVER FROM OUR NIGHTMARE AT STOKE TO HAMMER QPR

QPR v Liverpool Well, after Wednesday’s debacle at Stoke, I was left floundering around, wondering where and how Liverpool would pick themselves up after such a dismal defeat to Tony Puliss’ side. Hard to take take too many positives from the Season so far but we are Liverpool FC and I, for one, will always […]

KENNY CHANGES TACTICS TO DEFEAT UTD

Liverpool beat Man Utd 2-1 in the FA Cup 4th round on Saturday, thanks to an overdue goal from Dirk Kuyt in the 88th minute. Liverpool lined up with a defensive formation with Jamie Carragher in front of a flat back four, paying too much respect to a United side shorn of players like Vidic, […]

SHOULD WE SIGN ANELKA & CAN KUYT REPLACE LUCAS?

Rumours abound that Liverpool may be looking to sign Nicolas Anelka in the January Transfer-Window, either on loan, or to buy him for around £4 million. The former Liverpool striker, under Gerrard Houllier, is out of favour and soon out of a contract at Chelsea. Since the arrival of Villas Boas and the purchase of […]

SO THE TOFFEES THINK THEY CAN BEAT US…

Its derby day again and the Blue side of Liverpool feel they have the beating of us lot at Liverpool FC. Apparently, David Moyes (Mr.Grumpy) thinks Liverpool are now at an equal footing to Everton money-wise with no money for new signings and with Dutchman Johnny Heitinga mouthing off about Liverpool’s poor form making today’s […]

LIVERPOOL GO OUT IN THRILLER AT THE BRIDGE

Liverpool went out of the Champions League tonight in dramatic fashion. Needing to overhaul a 3-1 defeat at Anfield they got off to the perfect start with a great free kick by Aurelio. They then got a penalty when Alonso was fouled in the box, he coolly smashed the ball home to make it 2-0 […]

LIVERPOOL SCORE FIVE TO CLOSE THE GAP

Liverpool closed the gap to league leaders Man Utd to just one point with a crushing 5-0 defeat of Martin O’Neills Aston Villa at Anfield. Without playing at their very best Liverpool ran out easy winners in the end. Kuyt scored the opener after a Gerrard free-kick rebounded to him off the crossbar to rifle […]

LIVERPOOL HELD BY MAN CITY

Liverpool dropped two more valuable points at Anfield by Mark Hughes’ Manchester City. Without injured captain Steve Gerrard and suspended linchpin, Xabi Alonso, this was always going to be a difficult match to win. So it proved with Dirk Kuyt coming to the rescue after Liverpool fell behind to an Arbeloa own goal. So the […]

LIVERPOOL GET THERE IN THE END

Despite a bizarre team selection by Benitez, Liverpool won an upside down game in injury time by three goals to two against lowly Portsmouth. I dunno going with three centre halves and three full backs was a strange choice. It wasn’t until the second half that things became more organised with the introduction of Alonso, […]
