Benayoun's strike
Torres' 1st
Torres 2nd (and best, in my opinion)
Torres 3rd
- According to this article, we're going to make a £10m bid for French superstar Samir Nasri.
Bullocks. I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice to have him, but first off, he primarily plays central
midfield and we're kind of loaded in that department. He is versatile enough to play the wings as
well, but unless he's going to be content sharing time there, he won't approve the transfer.

Still no Babel starting and Lucas on the bench. Interesting. As long as there's no Crouch.
Well, before I get to the actual match, once again Fox Soccer makes themselves look like a bunch of
donkeys. Apparently Torres' extra-time header was the 'game-winner'. I wish, but at least it gave
me a little chuckle, something I need after that pathetic display.
I don't know where to start. Our whole side played pretty poor and the worse part is if we hadn't
been distracted by the stadium intercom announcer, (btw, what was that about?
Here it is:
Reina
Aurelio
Hyypia
Carragher
Arbeloa
Riise
Mascherano
Gerrard
Pennant
Kuyt
Torres
Subs:
Itandje
Benayoun
Sissoko

Once again, Rafa isn't messing around. I wonder how Voronin feels about the rotation now and really
don't care how Crouch feels.
I wonder if we'll hear any nonsense about Yossi not starting today as to why we barely pulled this
one off. Probably not, I figure the memory vacuum will take care of all the Rafa rotation bashing.
Anyhow, on to the match.
Wigan should be commended for a well-played, well-executed game plan. We were really lucky to come
away with three points as they were the better side and missed a couple of relatively easy
opportunities in front of the net.
- If you haven't heard yet, Stevie-G hit a kid while driving his Bentley in Merseyside yesterday
afternoon. The 10-year-old is believed to have suffered a broken leg. Gerrard immediately stopped
his vehicle and comforted the lad until medics arrived. Eyewitnesses reported that the boy ran out
from between two parked cars and into the side of Gerrard's Bentley, leaving our captain with no
control over the incident.

Leto to start! Can't wait. Babel must be in the dawg house with Benitez.
Screw Rafa. He'll probably put out the usual boring, recycled line-up that he usually does, same
players, different names. This post is about what I would do. So here we go.
Let's start up front where I would pair Babel with Kuyt. Babel hasn't played in the last three
games and I'm sure is itching to get back on the pitch. He says he wants the opportunity to play
forward, so let's see what he can do.
Ah, these are the fun ones. Not necessarily to watch, though I hope this one is, but definitely fun
to pick who Rafa will play. Before I get to that though, let me first offer an idea to any LFC
website that has the funding to do so. How about having a 'pick Rafa's side' game? Seriously, I
look forward to trying to pick out who Benitez will play more than anything else on my blog.
Rafa looks to be taking this match quite seriously.
Here's the line-up:
Itandje
Aurelio
Carragher
Arbeloa
Finnan
Leto
Sissoko
Lucas
Benayoun
Crouch
Torres
Subs:
Martin
Gerrard
Riise
Hobbs
Putterill
I'm pretty pumped to see Leto there as well as Lucas and Torres on the same pitch with him.
Well, I missed the first ten minutes of the match, but from what I've seen we're dangerous to
score, well, at least Torres is. If he doesn't score in the second half or at least set up a goal,
I'll be surprised.
As a team we seem to play well in brief stretches, but for the most part look like a bunch of
unfocused eight-year-olds waiting for ice cream.
Here's Yossi phenomenal goal earlier today. The Israeli saved us from another embarassing draw. If
this doesn't work, I'll post another later, because I'm having trouble with this site. Cheers.
Voronin's put-back.
Torres' 'game-winner'. ha.
You know, I understand the home side getting some calls, but this is simply shocking. First off,
how Duberry and Bikey don't have cards is a mystery to me. Both have been making reckless tackles,
pulling at shirts, and pushing players down left and right. How can the ref expect to maintain
control of a match if he's allowing those two mongoloids to play American football while almost
every time a Liverpool player runs into a Reading player, they get a foul called on them?
Two things happened early in the second half of this match that allowed Liverpool to play their
game. First, we got an early goal on a well-played ball from Benayoun to Torres who beat Duberry
and slotted it into side of the net past Federici. Then I guess the ref got tired of watching
Reading turn the beautiful game into a pub brawl and started handing out the yellow cards.
Okay, so maybe that's taking it a little too far, but someone needs to put an APB out for him. The
20-year-old Dutch winger has been conspicuously absent from the pitch in our last three matches
although he was on the bench for yesterday's debacle. Maybe he has been hanging out with the
invisible Aussie.
Anyhow, we could have probably used his pace and quickness against Marseilles last night.
