Improved tactics and hard work lead to the right result. It's the first time this season that
Liverpool have gone behind in a league match and went on to win.

Ipswich v Arsenal. Carling Cup semi final first leg. Arsenal have once again given themselves an
opportunity to wipe away the now accentuated saying of 'five years without a trophy.' From the

Midfielders Jamie O'Hara & Niko Kranjcar both seem almost certain to be headed for the exit door
this month, either on a temporary or permanent basis.
Over the weekend, the Teamtalk website first announced that Kranjcar had confirmed his desire to
