While Wednesday's heartbreaking draw against Lyon didn't seal Liverpool's place in the Europa League it did put our chances on life support. Aside from needing to defeat Debrecen, Liverpool will also need some help from Lyon to keep the potential miracle alive. But what if Lyon and Fiorentina draw? Click to continue reading...

Hopefully Rafa saw the negatives in Andriy Voronin's performance last night; rather than claiming he is a good player who can have an impact on this season. He proved last night he is nowhere near good enough to play for Liverpool; it's time for the number 10 to move on. I honestly beleive he would struggle [. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool drew 1-1 with Lyon last night, leaving any chance of getting through the group stages of the Champion's League hanging by a thread' but what do you think went wrong last night? There are a number of possible reasons: Rafa's tactics/his woeful decision to play Voronin/the lack of introduction of Aquilani/bringing on Babel too late, [. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool face Lyon in the Champion's League tonight, but given the fact that Rafa has an injury list longer than his arm; who do you think should play? The squad is as follows: Reina, Cavalieri, Carragher, Ayala, Darby, Insua, Agger, Kyrgiakos, Kuyt, Lucas, Benayoun, Aquilani, Babel, Mascherano, Spearing, Plessis, Ngog, Voronin, Torres.

Where do you draw the line when it comes to Fernando Torres' fitness? That's the question I've been asking myself ever since I wrote yesterday's piece on Steve Gerrard's absence from the squad for Wednesday night's European tilt against Lyon. I read, re-read, and then read Rafa's comments regarding the injury numerous times before coming [. Click to continue reading...

This week saw the ridiculous suggestion that Rafa Benitez was trying to bring John Arne Riise back to Anfield; but what most people forgot before they ran the story was the original source (who I am not going to mention for obvious reasons), and the fact we already have 3 left backs at the club. The [. Click to continue reading...

It's a regular mash unit at Melwood prior to Wednesday's do-or-die Champions League tie against Lyon. And whilst we'd all love to hear good news ahead such a match, it appears the reports coming from the club keep getting worse. Isn't the typical of the way this season has gone so far? The word [..

Halloween has never been my favourite time of year. Scores of chipper children descending upon my house armed with macabre costumes and begging bowls? Not for me. But even that ghastly vision could not compare with events at Craven Cottage this weekend, as Liverpool put on a horror show of their own in a 3-1 [. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool will appeal the red cards shown to Jamie Carragher and Philip Degen; Rafael Benitez has confirmed. Degen's challenge was more worthy of a yellow than a red; but it was still a bit wreckless, whereas Carragher's could be rescinded if the FA watch the replays and decide if firstly Zamora was offside; and the fact [.

Liverpool lost 3-1 at Craven Cottage to Fulham today as Carragher and Degen were both sent off. Rafa went for a 442 with Voronin joining Torres upfront; while inexperienced was a word to describe the bench of Gulacsi, Dossena, Ayala, Spearing, Plessis, Eccleston and Babel. Liverpool dominated the opening play, but went a goal behind when Zamora [. Click to continue reading...

No Gerrard? No problem. That was Liverpool's mantra last weekend, when the club went toe-to-toe with Manchester United in quite possibly the most important clash of the campaign. Even without Gerrard, Liverpool managed to play their best match of the year, utilizing Fernando Torres' efforts to secure the three points. Click to continue reading...

kuyt, voronin, babel cost us the game. why? notone of them were good enough it shows what i have been saying about kuyt, without sg and torres he is shown for what he is. a workhorse with a poor first touch, and a player who needs 5 chances to score one. voronin was so poor [...] Click to continue reading...

I know, I know; we don't have any transfer funds. That seems to be the general consensus around the world when it comes to discussing Liverpool's prospects for signing a big name in the January window. Even without the transfer funds, that hasn't stopped a number of websites from linking us with some fantastic players [. Click to continue reading...

We've all waited long enough to see £20 million summer signing Alberto Aquilani on the pitch, but finally finally! it looks we'll finally get the chance to see him in action with the senior squad. Rafa spoke earlier today and confirmed that Aquiliani will make the bench and could be used in a [. Click to continue reading...
