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 […]

LOVREN GETS THE NOD FROM RODGERS

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has opted to put his trust in last Season’s error-ridden defender Dejan Lovren for the immediate future.

LIVERPOOL PLAYER RATINGS V QPR

Liverpool can count themselves mighty fortunate to have earned all three points at Loftus Road on Sunday. Playing Emre Can in the holding role with Steven Gerrard upfront in the 1st half was a foolhardy decision by Brendan Rodgers and a better side would have beaten us out of sight before half-time.
