It is probably too far to stretch it by claiming that Liverpool's next two matches have the
potential of redefining their season. First up on Thursday night is the arrival of Lille in the
Europa League, followed by a meeting against their old adversary Manchester United on Sunday at Old
Trafford.

Rafa Benitez yesterday called for a dramatic improvement in Liverpool's away form as they seek a
first win on their travels in more than two months.
The Reds have won four of their 14 Premier League games away from Anfield – the last was at Aston
Villa on December 29 – and have only taken 18 points from a possible 42.

Rafa Benitez has confidently declared how he expects Javier Mascherano to follow Pepe Reina's lead
and commit his future to Liverpool.
The Reds midfielder has been offered a two-year extension to his current contract but, effectively,
it amounts to a new four-year deal which would expire in 2014.

Liverpool stars Fernando Torres, Yossi Benayoun and Glen Johnson will have a major impact on the
club's season when they are fully fit once more, according to former Reds midfielder Jan Molby.
Molby expects Torres and Johnson to be keen to build form and fitness ahead of this summer's World
Cup, although he has some doubts as to whether Rafael Benitez will want to disrupt his side's
current defensive solidity by reintroducing Johnson at right-back.

Liverpool will soon offer midfielder Javier Mascherano a new long-term contract in order to prevent
the Argentine international leaving for Barcelona, according to a report from The Times.

Striker Fernando Torres marked his first start since January 13 by scoring the winner in an
ill-tempered 2-1 victory over Blackburn at Anfield.

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.

Liverpool will look to press home a one-goal advantage as they visit Unirea Urziceni in the second
leg of their Europa League round of 32 tie.
Rafael Benitez's men scraped a narrow victory in the reverse clash at Anfield last week, thanks to
a late strike from French youngster David Ngog.
The Reds' performance in that game was roundly criticised, however, as was their showing against
fellow Champions League chasers Manchester City in Sunday's 0-0 draw at Eastlands.

Liverpool's former striking legend Ian Rush wants to see Reds manager Rafael Benitez adopt a more
attacking approach in a bid to finish in a Champions League spot this season.
Whilst Benitez's team have looked more solid in recent weeks, they played out a dismal goalless
draw at Eastlands on Sunday with Manchester City.

Liverpool's midfielder Yossi Benayoun feels that his side's current failings are in attack but
believes his own return and that of Fernando Torres can help to change things.
The Merseysiders have scored just once in their past three games and looked particularly lacklustre
in front of goal during yesterday's goalless draw with Manchester City, when Benayoun and Torres
both returned from five-week injury spells.

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

Rafael Benitez admitted he had mixed emotions following Liverpool's goalless draw with Manchester
City at Eastlands on Sunday.
While the boss was frustrated his side couldn't get a winning goal, the return to action of
Fernando Torres and Yossi Benayoun has given the squad a major boost.

Anfield Talk 21 February @ 03:09 PM EDT
Benitez has revealed that the decision to include Fernando Torres in the Liverpool squad that drew
with Manchester City was prompted by an injury suffered by David Ngog in training.
The Reds' number nine played the remaining 15 minutes of the stalemate at the City of Manchester
Stadium after Ngog twisted his ankle on Friday and Benitez insisted that Torres' inclusion, after a
month on the sidelines, on the substitute's bench underlined his status as an impact player.

Tale of the game:On Tuesday, City went to Stoke and were fortunate to take a point. So, after three straight league

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.

Just like last summer, the Reds boss recouped more money on player sales than he was allowed to
