While Wednesday's heartbreaking draw against Lyon didn't seal Liverpool's place in the Europa League it did put our chances on life support. Aside from needing to defeat Debrecen, Liverpool will also need some help from Lyon to keep the potential miracle alive. But what if Lyon and Fiorentina draw? Click to continue reading...

Hopefully Rafa saw the negatives in Andriy Voronin's performance last night; rather than claiming he is a good player who can have an impact on this season. He proved last night he is nowhere near good enough to play for Liverpool; it's time for the number 10 to move on. I honestly beleive he would struggle [. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool drew 1-1 with Lyon last night, leaving any chance of getting through the group stages of the Champion's League hanging by a thread' but what do you think went wrong last night? There are a number of possible reasons: Rafa's tactics/his woeful decision to play Voronin/the lack of introduction of Aquilani/bringing on Babel too late, [. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool face Lyon in the Champion's League tonight, but given the fact that Rafa has an injury list longer than his arm; who do you think should play? The squad is as follows: Reina, Cavalieri, Carragher, Ayala, Darby, Insua, Agger, Kyrgiakos, Kuyt, Lucas, Benayoun, Aquilani, Babel, Mascherano, Spearing, Plessis, Ngog, Voronin, Torres.

Where do you draw the line when it comes to Fernando Torres' fitness? That's the question I've been asking myself ever since I wrote yesterday's piece on Steve Gerrard's absence from the squad for Wednesday night's European tilt against Lyon. I read, re-read, and then read Rafa's comments regarding the injury numerous times before coming [. Click to continue reading...

Now it may seem at times a bit of a thinly veiled compliment to be named as an improved player but it may not necessarily mean that the player involved was particularly poor beforehand and that perhaps they just got even better.

I don't know if anyone else reads World Soccer but I have a subscription to the magazine and in the most recent issue, they raised the point of the best striker in the world. I'll explain how they came to their conclusion in a moment but I was wondering what other people thought was required in a striker and who they feel is the best.

This week saw the ridiculous suggestion that Rafa Benitez was trying to bring John Arne Riise back to Anfield; but what most people forgot before they ran the story was the original source (who I am not going to mention for obvious reasons), and the fact we already have 3 left backs at the club. The [. Click to continue reading...

It's a regular mash unit at Melwood prior to Wednesday's do-or-die Champions League tie against Lyon. And whilst we'd all love to hear good news ahead such a match, it appears the reports coming from the club keep getting worse. Isn't the typical of the way this season has gone so far? The word [..

Halloween has never been my favourite time of year. Scores of chipper children descending upon my house armed with macabre costumes and begging bowls? Not for me. But even that ghastly vision could not compare with events at Craven Cottage this weekend, as Liverpool put on a horror show of their own in a 3-1 [. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool will appeal the red cards shown to Jamie Carragher and Philip Degen; Rafael Benitez has confirmed. Degen's challenge was more worthy of a yellow than a red; but it was still a bit wreckless, whereas Carragher's could be rescinded if the FA watch the replays and decide if firstly Zamora was offside; and the fact [.

Liverpool lost 3-1 at Craven Cottage to Fulham today as Carragher and Degen were both sent off. Rafa went for a 442 with Voronin joining Torres upfront; while inexperienced was a word to describe the bench of Gulacsi, Dossena, Ayala, Spearing, Plessis, Eccleston and Babel. Liverpool dominated the opening play, but went a goal behind when Zamora [. Click to continue reading...

No Gerrard? No problem. That was Liverpool's mantra last weekend, when the club went toe-to-toe with Manchester United in quite possibly the most important clash of the campaign. Even without Gerrard, Liverpool managed to play their best match of the year, utilizing Fernando Torres' efforts to secure the three points. Click to continue reading...

I know, I know; we don't have any transfer funds. That seems to be the general consensus around the world when it comes to discussing Liverpool's prospects for signing a big name in the January window. Even without the transfer funds, that hasn't stopped a number of websites from linking us with some fantastic players [. Click to continue reading...

We've all waited long enough to see £20 million summer signing Alberto Aquilani on the pitch, but finally finally! it looks we'll finally get the chance to see him in action with the senior squad. Rafa spoke earlier today and confirmed that Aquiliani will make the bench and could be used in a [. Click to continue reading...

When Liverpool signed David N'Gog from PSG in 2008, most people were probably thinking he was going to be 'another for the future' that would never really make the step up from the reserves; but it seems this time Rafa has a real gem on his books for the bargain price of £1.5 million. We've seen [.. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool are a team for the special occasion. That, as Rafa Benitez may say, is a fact. Few sides discover their zest as readily as the Reds when the pressure is piled on. Today's victory over Manchester United is yet more evidence of this. Benitez, if certain Sunday tabloids were to be believed (and they are [. Click to continue reading...

It's time to put up or shut up. That's it, there's really isn't much more to be said than that. Rafa needs the match to keep the detractors off his back for another week as well keep as his team in the title race. United need the match to wash the taste of [...] Click to continue reading...

With the big match only days away, Liverpool supporters everywhere seem to be wondering the same exact thing: what's the status of Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, and Glen Johnson for Sunday's match against United? Whilst Benitez doesn't know for sure or at least he's not giving anything away he did give all three [. Click to continue reading...

Whilst there are many out there currently calling for Benitez's head after last night's humbling defeat to Lyon, you should know there are still some out there that are willing to give Rafa the benefit of the doubt. One of them is a legend in his own right. Ian Rush told Sky Sports News that four [.. Click to continue reading...

After Liverpool lost to Lyon 2-1 last night at Anfield; what do you think went wrong? Do you think it was the formation, the players, the lack of atmosphere, the injury to Gerrard or was it a combination of all of these things that cost Liverpool the win? When we have Gerrard and Torres fit, the 4-2-3-1 [. Click to continue reading...

I'm extremely frustrated and very bitter at the moment, so I apologise if I keep this short. To review: Liverpool lost the match; Benitez brought on Voronin for our best player of the night (Benayoun); the zonal-marking was a joke; Gerrard went off with another injury inside the first 20 minutes. Did I mention we [. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool's last Champions League match against Fiorentina was one to forget. The headline after the match was a simple and succinct one: "Youth is Served." That was thanks in large part to 19-year-old Stevan Jovetic's two goals performance in the first half, as he literally carved up the Liverpool defence all by himself. Click to continue reading...

The beach ball incident is over. Liverpool can't ask for the three points from Sunderland. With that in mind, it's time we all took a deep breath and moved on with our lives. I'm sure the players have as well especially with a mid-week clash against Lyon staring them in the face. Liverpool face the [. Click to continue reading...

Any hopes of getting Fernando Torres back for the critical clash against Lyon at Anfield were dashed earlier this morning, after it was announced that Torres would not feature in the mid-week Champions League clash. Fernando Torres has been ruled out of Liverpool's Champions League group match against Lyon on Tuesday. Click to continue reading...

Co-owner George Gillett's push to sell a stake in Liverpool is apparently on at the moment, after reports came out earlier today confirmed that any talks between F6, the Saudi Arabian investment company owned by Prince Faisal bin Fahd bin Abdullah, and Gillett regarding a sale of the club are 'on hold'.

Life's a beach It was a headline-writer's dream. A stray beach ball, decorated with the Liverpool emblem, lurks innocuously on the edge of Pepe Reina's six yard box, before springing devilishly into life to divert Darren Bent's scuffed strike beyond the helpless Spaniard. The scribes prayed and prayed it would be the only goal of the game. Click to continue reading...
