In the wake of Saturday's match against Stoke, much was made of the draw representing a complete tactical failure by Kenny Dalglish and Steve Clarke. The key failure in that larger breakdown was meant to be the deployment of three centre backs in a formation nearly identical to the one which had defeated Stoke at Anfield a year earlier, as in the eyes of many those three centre backs represented an overly defensive approach when facing a club with so little attacking intent.

Considering the fact that Sepp Blatter has been working for FIFA for the best part of 40 years, it is remarkable just how good he's gotten at annoying football fans, or should I say English football fans.

Now if any other 75 year old man with a degree in business and economics (and has never played professional football) walked into your local and started spouting their nonsense opinions about how issues such as racism in football can be solved with a handshake, I'm sure he would be told to pipe down and get out with some colourful language thrown in for good measure.

Reds On A Run But So Are City

I expect to see some antics from him on Sunday... Manchester City make the short trip to Anfield on Sunday for what is set to be an exciting fixture between the two sides. Liverpool are coming off the back of a 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge whilst Manchester City can boast an unbeaten run in the league.
