Brilliant Benayoun sets up splendid Torres goal

Soccerblog 25 October @ 11:11 PM EST

By now, it must be obvious.

The best player in the Premiership on this day was Yossi Benayoun. No words can describe the moment of genius that possessed him to split the Man Utd defense, in so comprehensive a fashion as that pass that isolated Fernando Torres, a move which had Rio Ferdinand grab him futilely.

Fernando Torres: Are Liverpool FC playing to his strengths?

Liverpool Kop 15 September @ 05:57 PM EST
Fernando Torres has scored three goals in four games this season. Great return so far, so what more do we want from the kid? Frankly, a lot more. Liverpool's outstanding striker is certainly capable of scoring more goals, but is he being handicapped by Liverpool's preferred formation?
During the 2007/08 season, Torres scored thirty three goals in 46 appearances, which is quite the prodigious strike rate; even the great Ian Rush only managed 30 in 49 appearances in his first full season at Anfield. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool Could Turn to Chelsea’s Shevchenko to be Our ‘Michael Owen’

Liverpool’s £21m GoldMine: The Quartet Who Should Be Sold!

If reports that I have been reading are accurate then we are in a bit of a financial pickle and in order to bring in new players we need to offload those who really don't belong, such as these four.

Andriy Voronin Value £4-6m

Not had a bad pre-season but then he has performed well in friendlies before and is by no means likely to get a starting spot anytime soon.
