With the summer departures of Bellamy, Kuyt, and Aurelio (as well as Maxi and Aquilani), Liverpool
now have just six players who have been on the books since the 2007-08 season: Carragher, Gerrard,
Reina, Agger, Lucas, and Skrtel. Just six of the 27 players who have made at least first team
appearance for Liverpool.
Who would have guessed that Roma would pose more of a problem than Toronto FC, especially when
starting the likes of Totti, Osvaldo, Pjanic, Bradley, Rosi, and Burdisso, and bringing on Bojan,
Lamela, and Heinze in the second half?
The Carling Cup win was the highlight...It was a very mixed
season for Liverpool that ended in the departure of Kenny Dalglish. It started well but as the
league campaign continued, things began to get difficult for the Reds. Two cup finals and one cup
win gave the lads some glory but an 8th place finish in the league provided a dark shadow over the
season.
So close, yet so far. The Liverpool of old threatened to reappear, but fell just short of another
fabled cup final comeback. By millimeters, and "aided" by the woodwork. Just not good enough to
make up for self-inflicted mistakes, both individual and tactical, but painfully, frustratingly
close.
Carroll celebrates his FA Cup winning goal with
Skrtel...Liverpool will welcome West Brom to Anfield on Sunday after they've got rid of those
giant puppets wondering around the Kop End! And West Brom coming to Anfield means nothing less than
the return of the face rubber himself; Roy Hodgson.

Knowing the result beforehand, inevitably succumbing to spoilers, makes this review both less
joyous and less frantic than it should be. Removing much of the roller-coaster emotion from that
result removes much of what makes sports brilliant, and today's spectacle aptly demonstrates why
I'd far rather read bloggers' match reviews that the mainstream media's.
Reina let's the occasion get the better of him...Liverpool fell
to a 6th defeat out of 7 league games on April Fool's day as Papiss Cisse confidently put two past
the later dismissed Pepe Reina. In an embarrassing display which actually began with a lively start
from Liverpool, fans were left completely deflated as they made their way back from St James' Park.

Let's hope he can give a thumbs up come 90 minutes...Liverpool
face Wigan at Anfield on Saturday and after falling to a terrible defeat against Queens Park
Rangers in the week, the Reds are desperately after all 3 points. Wigan themselves have more than
one reason to be battling for the points as they look to get themselves out of a relegation battle.
Liverpool's bad luck charm in past campaigns, Mason did an excellent job in the away leg of the
Carling Cup semi-final and Liverpool have won the three matches when he's been in charge this
season.

A masked Bendtner celebrates...Liverpool fell to a 1-0 defeat at
the Stadium Of Light on Saturday when a fortuitous goal separated the two sides. The third in a
string of defeats breaks a record for the Reds who haven't lost three in a row in the league since
2003. It was a dire game for the neutral to watch and unfortunately contained a very poor
performance from a lacklustre Liverpool side who are hitting a bit of bad form in the league at the
moment.
That was the absolute worst possible response to last week's stomach punch. Liverpool never looked
up for it – every player disappointed – and they meekly succumbed to a fortuitous goal from
unimpressive opposition.
Liverpool's formation replicated that against Arsenal, but with Bellamy and Coates in place of
Downing and Carra; Kuyt drifted behind Suarez, frequently switching with Henderson on the right,
Bellamy stayed wide on the left, Adam and Spearing "held" in midfield.
Last four head-to-head:
1-1 (h) 08.13.11
2-0 Liverpool (a) 03.20.11
2-2 (h) 09.25.10
3-0 Liverpool (h) 03.28.10
Last three matches: Liverpool: 1-2 Arsenal (h); 2-2 Cardiff aet (n) [3-2 on pens]; 6-1 Brighton (h) Sunderland: 1-1 Newcastle (a); 0-4 West Brom (a); 2-0 Arsenal (h)
Guess at a line-up:
Reina
Johnson Skrtel Coates Enrique
Henderson Spearing Adam
Suarez Carroll Downing
I still want to see more of the 4-2-1-3/4-3-3 style formation used against Brighton in the FA Cup,
although that's looking more and more like a one-off.
Liverpool face fighters Sunderland at the Stadium of Light in the Premier League this Saturday at
3:00pm. Under Martin O'Neill's stewardship, the Black Cats/ Makems have climbed up to 12th in the
Premiership Table with 34 points, five behind Liverpool on 39 pts.
Recent results for Sunderland include a 2-0 victory over Swansea and a 3-0 drubbing of Norwich
City.

Robin Van Persie, tormentor in chiefAfter Liverpool's victory in the Carling Cup
Final v Cardiff last Sunday, all thoughts now go towards fans cing Arsenal at Anfield this
weekend.
Arsenal currently lie in fourth on 43 points yet others in the media seek to castigate their
performances, especially after their humiliation in the Champion's
League.
He has his detractors, he has had few obvious well wishers, there are some even hostile to
Stuart Pearce remaining at the helm of Team GB's challenge for gold at the London Olympics.
The animosity, both public and private, manifested itself after Pearce failed to name David
Beckham in the final squad apparently for ‘football reasons' but it would appear that on the
evidence of the opening two games, that Pearce is wholly vindicated.
Brazil will take on Team GB in a friendly international at Middlesbrough's Riverside stadium
later today. Mano Menezes will put out a full-strength side with Oscar, Neymar and Hulk all
starting. Manchester United target, Lucas Moura, is on the bench alongside Paulo Henrique
Ganso. Brazil squad in full here Team GB (possible): Butland, Taylor, Bertrand, Richards, Dawson, Rose, Cleverley,
Ramsey, Sinclair, Giggs, Bellamy Coach: Stuart Pearce Brazil: (probable) Rafael Cabral, Rafael da Silva, Juan, Thiago Silva, Marcelo,
Sandro Ranieri, Romulo, Oscar, Neymar, Hulk, Leandro Damião Coach: Mano Menezes Date: 20 July 2012 Kick-off: 19:45 (London) 15:45 (Brasília) Venue: Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough
Not that you were supposed to know, but Team GB played their first game together on Sunday
afternoon in a sneaky, behind-closed-doors friendly against Mexico's U23 squad at the new bells and
whistles national team base in Burton, St. George's Park with all three of Stuart Pearce's over-age
players (Giggs, Bellamy and Richards) getting a run out.
After getting themselves kitted out in their new clobber at Loughborough University, the men and
ladyfolk of Team GB alighted to the grounds of a nearby luxury hotel for a photo session, before
the male squad including Messrs Bellamy and Giggs splintered off for their first training session
together under coach Stuart Pearce.
Craig Bellamy expects to be accommodate to kisser UAE on Sunday, despite picking up a strike in
Great Britain's Olympic start.
