Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez finally catches a break as he knew this week that he could count with Steven Gerrard and David Ngog to face Manchester City on Saturday. The odds for this game can change a bid in any good sports book as these two players are available to play. Gerrard has been vulnerable for [. Click to continue reading...

We've all done it.

On occasion causing a much larger problem through the tangents of an imagination enough to make [. Click to continue reading...

These have probably been a very uncomfortable couple of days for David N'Gog. The dramatics with which he won the penalty against Birmingham might be lauded as cunning elsewhere but, as many have been eager to point out to him, they aren't as celebrated in England.
The flip side, of course, is that the penalty got a point for Liverpool. Click to continue reading...

OK, so no one on planet Earth can honestly say this wasn't a dive but what now? Arsenal striker Eduardo did a similar 'sack of potatoes to the floor type dive' and was banned by UEFA who then remembered they were in effect an impotent body and they swiftly changed their tune. Surely something needs to be done about the alarming rise in simulation in the game.

We think diving is as much a stain on the modern game as the next person, but it's come to the point that when someone wins a penalty the armchair fans instinctively brandish the player a liar and a cheat. Such was the case after Monday's Liverpool v Birmingham match, when Lee Carsley's lunge at David Ngog in the penalty box earned the Reds a penalty kick, a valuable point, and ultimately gave Rafa Benitez a stay of execution.

When David N'Gog scored so early on, the game opened itself perfectly for Liverpool: this was the ideal starting point, the launching pad that could lead to a much needed win. Then came the inevitable defensive lapse that resulted in a conceeded goal which was followed up by the sucker punch of Cameron Jerome's splendid but somewhat fortiuitous goal and suddenly it was a repeat of so many games this season.

There is no longer a debate on this. Not one which has any credibility. The reason i say this is that a debate is where two or more factions can equally assert their opinions on a given subject. Well....the debate is now dead. Its time for action. Football is riddled by this disease that halts the match [. Click to continue reading...

But a very effective one Liverpool striker David Ngog saved Rafa Benitez's blushes by cheating to win his side a penalty against Birmingham last night. Steven Gerrard converted the spot-kick to salvage a draw and avoid yet another embarrassing defeat. The Blues were fuming, with ex-Evertonian Lee Carsley protesting that he had not made contact with Ngog. Click to continue reading...

[101GG] This is bad. So very, very bad. Liverpool and Birmingham offered us, as Daryl so aptly pointed out, 'what the Premier league is supposed to be like'. It really was some fantastic stuff with the Reds pinning Birmingham into not just their box, but their own six yard box, pinging the ball around the eighteen as [. Click to continue reading...

This was a game where, more then anything else, Liverpool were looking to see which players would enhance their reputation. And, in that respect there is plenty about which to be satisfied despite the defeat. Make no mistake, this was nothing like last year's feeble surrender at Tottenham: Liverpool played with determination and commitment that deserved a better outcome. Click to continue reading...

After Jermaine Pennant came out from his Spanish Villa and criticised Benetiz for miss-management of players, it felt like the final nail in the coffin for the Spanish manager.

A poor result in mid-week against a Lyon team not at the peak of their powers looked like silencing Rafa once and for all.

After today's victory over Manchester United, perhaps they should change their theme song from You'll Never Walk Alone to this one.

And yeah, I know that those pictures didn't come from today's game, but I can't keep track of all of Torres' goals against the Mancs nor Vidic's red cards against Liverpool.

Liverpool made it 3-on-3, as they defeated Manchester United 2-0 at Anfield, their third consecutive victory over the Premiership Champions. This win allowed them not only to climb in the Premier League table, but also helped them stop their losing streak, worse in 2 decades. Fernando Torres gave the Reds the early lead and scored his [.

Has he got it in him to make it at Anfield?

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez believes David Ngog has a big role to play for the side this season.

Ngog helped Liverpool reach the fourth round of the Carling Cup with the winning goal in the 1-0 victory over Leeds on Tuesday night.

This was always going to be a tricky game, one from which Liverpool had everything to lose whilst Leeds United, doing so well in League One, were going to be determined to do well in front of their own fans. For Benitez, the headache was going to be who to play: on the one hand there was the calls to put in some of the younger players but on the other there was the fear of being shown up by Leeds with the hammering that would undoubtedly follow.

Smart move.

Brian Laws is trying to take David Ngog on loan from Liverpool.

Sheffield Wednesday's boss has lined up an audacious move for the youngster after learning that the Reds want to give him more game-time.

Ngog has appeared only fleetingly for the Merseysiders since his switch from Paris St Germain and now Wednesday want to give him the chance to shine in the Championship.

A good all round performance from Liverpool and in particular from some squad players eager to impress Rafa Benitez. Andriy Voronin begins and ends a flowing move from a quality Ryan Babel cross. The second comes after good work from much maligned Andrea Dossena who lays on to David N'Gog.

So far this summer, much has been made of Alonso's will he/won't he transfer to Real Madrid. It's rather like Dawson's Creek but for people who have already lost their virginity and moved past alcopops. However, I think what is just as important but is being somewhat overlooked is Liverpool's striking options.

Not too sure about this one!

The Rumour

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez remains keen on Cruzeiro striker Kleber.

The 25 year-old revealed last month that Liverpool had made an offer for him.

And Globoesporte says Liverpool are still interested and Kleber could be the next to follow new Villarreal signing Nilmar to leave the Brazilian championship for a big European club.

This source doesn't beat around the bush!

Over the last year, Rafael Benitez has wasted a huge chunk of the club's money on transfers that, for whatever reason, just didn't work out. With news that Liverpool have reportedly accepted a £4.3m bid from Napoli for left-back Andrea Dossena, this money-wasting trend seems set to continue.

This hasn't been an easy season for David N'Gog. Not that it could have been any other way. It is often said that it takes a player a season to adjust to the Premiership but that's assuming that he's playing regularly. For someone who, like N'Gog, only gets to play sporadically it is all the more difficult to adapt. Click to continue reading...

Liverpoo's 19 year old French footballer David Ngog scored his first English Premier League goal against Sunderland in a March 3, 2009 game. The goal was from Gerrard's missed header. I say, Ngog is promising. He has a good first touch. If the defenders swarm him he can pass it perfectly to the winger. Click to continue reading...

We'll have that top space of the group now, thank you. The performance delivered by the Reds in the first half seemed to be more of the same. There was lots of passing, not particularly well, with virtually no opportunities being created. PSV's Lazovic snuck one in between Cavalieri's legs after a controversial corner kick.

The appearance of David N'Gog last Tuesday as a second half substitute was a surprising one, yet it says much about the quality of Liverpool's squad.
In explaining the substitution, Rafael Benitez said that he wanted to change things up front, to put on a striker who could perhaps add something different. Click to continue reading...

It was a boring match until the last 4 minutes of stoppage time, which saw a questionable penalty given to Liverpool (Fine by me, we'll take the draw) and 4 yellow cards.

If we hadn't scored, I would probably started off by saying Liverpool was shite. Nando's former club outplayed us, and though we had most of the possessions in the 2nd half, we were not able to find the net.

Excuse our indifference but we've been through this before.
No matter how hyped up the transfer of David N'Gog is, it is hard to get excited. Any flattery lavished on the French sounds far too similar to the praise devoted to the likes of Anthony Le Tallec and Florent Sinama Pongolle before they joined. Click to continue reading...

Well you can add another name to the Liverpool squad for the upcoming season. The club announced today that French sensation David Ngog will be plying his trade at Anfield after making the move from PSG. While I don't know much about Ngog, everything that I've read and seen has got me pretty excited.

The pre-season continues, with the Reds having finished in a scoreless draw with Hertha Berlin last night. Andriy Voronin could have continued his impressive form after drawing a penalty, but he saw it saved. Interesting that he should be the one to take it after being fouled.
