John Aldridge: Liverpool Responded To Unirea Goal Fright

Anfield Talk 27 February @ 12:07 PM EDT
After Manchester City last weekend, it was important we produced a decent performance in Romania.
Our often conservative play tends to change as soon as we concede, as was the case when Unirea Urziceni took the lead on Thursday night.
When we have to come out and play, we look much more dangerous. Click to continue reading...

Match Preview: Unirea Urziceni vs. Liverpool

Anfield Talk 24 February @ 01:06 PM EDT

Fair play, Yossi Benayoun

OK Football Finder 22 February @ 07:00 AM EDT

Just watching Match of the Day 2, trying to wring every drop out of the weekend before the onset of the new week, and I'm on the verge of sleep as Man City and Liverpool cancel each other out on the way to what was a largely uninspiring and insipid 0-0 draw.

Just as I had pretty much given up on it and my mind was set on bed, three incidents occurred in the space of the last ten minutes or so that placed the issue of fair play squarely on the table.

Match Preview: Manchester City vs Liverpool

Anfield Talk 19 February @ 12:19 PM EDT
Tale of the game:
On Tuesday, City went to Stoke and were fortunate to take a point. So, after three straight league wins at the start of his career with City, manager Roberto Mancini has won just two of his next six games, taking seven points from a possible 18.
City are still without Carlos Tévez , back in Argentina for the birth of his second child, while Craig Bellamy and Vincent Kompany undergo tests. Click to continue reading...

Dominic King: Liverpool FC Can’t Get Sidetracked By Europa League Adventure

Anfield Talk 13 February @ 01:17 PM EDT
A grand day out in Hamburg or an untroubled passage through to the end of the season in the Premier League?
They are the choices with which you are faced and, it must be stressed, this is an either/or situation; you can't have one and top it up with the other.
In normal circumstances, the vast majority would opt for the former; nothing beats the feeling of being involved in a showpiece final nor can the emotions of winning a trophy be bettered. Click to continue reading...
