Liverpool’s attack is in dire need of a finisher, a goal scorer. Luis Suarez seems to be the backbone of the clubs attack and is the only realistic player who can score above 15 goals for Liverpool this season. An injury to Fabio Borini has added the pressure on Suarez to perform. Liverpool currently sit in 12th place having won just two out of nine matches in the Premier League. The Reds shock loss to Swansea City 1-3 at Anfield in the League Cup added pressure on Brendan Rodgers and …
Kenny Dalglish won his first silverware of his second tenure in charge of Liverpool as his side overcame a resilient Cardiff City to lift the Carling cup via a penalty shoot out.
Anthony Gerrard (cousin of Liverpool captain Steven) was the unfortunate player who missed the decisive penalty, placing just wide of Pepe Reina’s right hand post, in this dramatic penalty shoot out, to give Liverpool their first trophy in six years- the last of course being the 2006 F.A cup also via a shoot-out.
Although many had backed Liverpool to come …
It’s great to see the premiership with another superstar in the shape of Luis Suarez. Superstars have been in abundance over the premiership years with the likes of Zola, Henry, Bergkamp, Ronaldo, etc but Suarez is the next on that prestigious list. Yes vast quantities of money have been spent this season but apart from perhaps Aguero their were no new superstars brought to the premiership.
Aguero is class and finishes well but does he have the magic of Suarez. Aguero also has the luxury of the other …
Liverpool returned to Premier League winning ways with a hard fought win over Wolves. A Roger Johnson own goal and a sublime Luis Suarez strike gave Liverpool a two goal advantage at the break, Wolves responded with a Steven Fletcher goal but Liverpool held on for the three points.
It was a vital win for the home side after two consecutive defeats away from home in the Premier League, this also showed that Liverpool’s home form has drastically improved compared to last season.
For Wolves this was the fourth league match …
As a season ticket holder at Anfield, temporarily based in the North East until June (a years training course), I must admit that I was extremely happy when Liverpool signed Andy Carroll on the last day of the January transfer window. I conceded that we had paid over the odds but felt that this was necessary due to losing Fernando with little time left in the window. The comparisons with the Keegan-Toshack partnership were rife and this caused a great deal of enthusiasm to rise up on the red side of Merseyside. Due …
It wasn’t long ago when I rejoiced at the departure of Rafa Benitez, danced at the arrival of Roy Hodgson (I wrote a blog reflecting this!) and was pleased to see some sort of movement upstairs in the Liverpool boardroom. This, though, was before anyone had kicked a ball.
Every single day, you hear differing media sources spouting differing views on the ‘chaos,’ ‘turmoil’ and ‘crisis’ that is Liverpool FC. Many of them seem to take pleasure and excitement in the way that a big club has begun …
After a terrific spell at Fulham, Roy Hodgson was appointed to manage Liverpool FC, a club supposedly in turmoil, no champion’s league football, in huge debts and rumours of a mass exodus of key players. However the signing of Joe Cole followed by the talisman and Captain Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres committing their futures to the club. The feel good factor was back at the club, optimism for the new season was high.
The season is barely two months old, but what can we make of Roy Hodgson’s tenure thus …
Roberto Mancini’s new-look Manchester City side announced themselves as title contenders on Monday night by demolishing a lacklustre Liverpool at the City of Manchester Stadium in front of Sheikh Mansour as he made his first appearance at Eastlands in the week that his investment into the club topped £1billion. The drama started before the match even kicked off as, wantaway Argentine, Javier Mascherano announced to Roy Hodgson that he didn’t want to play and was subsequently left out as interest from Inter Milan and Barcelona was stepped up.
City started the …
An uncharacteristic mistake from Liverpool goalkeeper, Jose Reina, insured Arsenal did not make a losing start to their season. In a game of not many chances, the main talking points came from two players, making their premier league debut for their new clubs, being sent off.
Liverpool new boys Milan Jovanovic and Joe Cole were handed their first Premier League starts but Fernando Torres was deemed to be not quite match fit, as he watched on from the bench. Cesc Fabregas didn’t make the journey to Anfield and was replaced by …
Liverpool FC, quite possibly the most consistently unpredictable team in the English top flight. Two seasons ago they finished second, only four points away from top spot, and went into the 2009/2010 season full of optimism. Supporters and players alike believed this would be the season for The Reds to end their wait for the Premier League title. How wrong they were. Liverpool plummeted to a seventh place finish, narrowly securing a European spot, only due to Portsmouth not acquiring a UEFA club licence in time. With the new season rapidly approaching, Liverpool will look to forget …
