Three wins in 15 matches. If you were to take a good long look at that sentence and make a guess at
the club those stats were associated with, I can almost guarantee you there wouldn't be a soul out
there that would pick Liverpool. Why, you ask? Well for one, Liverpool have built themselves up

Liverpool have been linked with Aston Villa striker Emile Heskey over the last few days; isn't this
a sign of how bad things are getting at Anfield? In pre-season, Rafa admitted David Silva was a
target, yet now we are scraping the barrel going for a player who was not deemed good enough during
his [.
Rafael Benitez says Dirk Kuyt could be in line to be given some time off from playing to rest, in a
bid to help the Dutchman recapture his goalscoring form. Dirk has been getting more game time than
anyone recently; something Rafa has been keeping an eye on and is looking to help Liverpool's
number 18 [.
Alberto Aquilani is in contention to play against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Boxing day after
missing the tie against Portsmouth last weekend. Aquilani has been one of the most talked about
players to have barely played a game for Liverpool, yet there's a chance he will finally be given a
league start against Wolves given the fact [.
Liverpool face Blackburn Rovers today at Ewood Park without Fernando Torres & Ryan Babel; but who
do you think should be on the pitch when the match kicks off? N'Gog is looking decent upfront,
Gerrard is back, and our defence is looking good again; so there's no reason why we can't continue
our winning streak (only [.
Liverpool face Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday, who are currently in 3rd place in the league, 4 points
ahead of Liverpool. Fernando Torres is expected to start, while Alberto Aquilani could also make
his first Premiership start of the season. The last time these two faced at Anfield; it was an epic
game that finished 4-4, [.
When Arsenal came to Anfield last season, no one could have predicted the outcome of the game which
finished 4-4 with Arshavin scoring all 4 of Arsenal's goals. Watch the highlights from last
season's epic encouter here! Torres and Benayoun got 2 each, while Arshavin did wonders for people
who had him in their fantasy football [.
Rafael Benitez says initial talks over a new deal for Javier Mascherano have been positive; and
that Mascherano himself is happy at Anfield. Mascherano is back to his best having not had the best
start to the season, which has increased speculation that Barcelona are due to come in with a bid
for him, but Rafa [.
Rafa Benitez has named his side to face Arsenal at Anfield, with Fernando Torres returning to the
starting line up. The team in full is Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Aurelio, Kuyt, Mascherano,
Lucas, Benayoun, Gerrard, Torres. Subs: Cavalieri, Aquilani, Insua, Ngog, Degen, Skrtel, Dossena.
Did Rafa just put his career on the line with a top four guarantee? Who knows for sure, but his
recent comments regarding the rest of the season appear a cry for a 'Premier League or bust'
campaign. Question is, will the players jump on the bandwagon and follow suit? "Every game for us
is [...]
Rafa Benitez has named his team to face Wigan at Anfield; leaving Torres and Aquilani out of the
starting line up. In what should be a must win game considering our poor form; Rafa has dropped two
of his most expensive signings to the bench to face Wigan. The team in full is :Reina, Skrtel,
Agger, Insua, [.
David N'gog scored his 6th goal of the season to give Liverpool a 1-0 lead at half time at home
against Wigan. Aurelio swung in a cross which N'gog did well to beat Kirkland to, as the Wigan
keeper was coming out to claim it. 1-0 after 9 mins, Liverpool had another great chance to score
[...]
Liverpool beat Wigan 2-1 at Anfield with David N'Gog and Fernando Torres getting the goals. Torres
got on the end of a bad header by Emerson Boyce, rounded Kirkland then had his initial shot saved
by Bramble on the line, but then tapped in the rebound to kill the game off. Kuyt had a few chances
to [.
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez insists any rumours of Fernando Torres needing an operation are
unfounded. When the subject of an operation for Torres was mentioned, Rafa dismissed the talk
saying: "An operation is not in our minds," "I was surprised to hear such suggestions from Spain
because we have a good working relationship with their medical [.
