Exactly Eleven years ago, Liverpool entertained Blackburn in what was to be a pointless premier
league encounter. Liverpool won 2-0, courtesy of goals from Ince and Owen. That was all about that
match. Eleven years hence Blackburn reciprocated the gesture in yet another pointless league
encounter.
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has voiced his frustration at his sides failure to compete at
the top of the table this season. Liverpool currently trail leaders Chelsea by 13 points, they lie
in seventh and have lost five times already. Their performances have been some way off the form
that led them to finish second last season and you can understand Gerrard's frustration.
Lionel Messi is a unique story outside of what he does on the pitch. People were bracing for his
arrival onto the world football scene since he was 11 years old. When he arrived he was one of
those players that was ready to change the face of the game forever. He was going to go beyond
establishing himself as one of those players that was going to mark a generation and eventually sit
among the football gods.
Finally, after 11 years, Zico and Romario have decided to kiss
and make up! You know how E ego masculino can blow things out of
proportion, but at least they feigned the smiles in yesterday's "Game of the Stars" or Jogo das
Estrelas.
Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has praised the contribution of Steven Gerrard to the club.
The midfielder is set to make his 500th appearance for the team he supported as a boy when he leads
Liverpool out in their clash against Blackburn.
He will become only the 13th player to reach for the milestone for the Anfield club and Benitez
believes his captain can make a further 200 appearances at the highest level in a Liverpool shirt.
