Liverpool 1 - Arsenal 1

Some quick thoughts for me after a very busy week at work:
1. Arsenal played some beautiful flowing football; Liverpool hoofed it forward and hoped it would “stick” to a clearly injured Torres. Who is now even more injured.
2. Alonso is clearly the glue to our midfield and the creative heartbeat of our team. Hope he […]

That was an invaluable win. And if there’s anything more satisfying than a close win over the Bluenoses, it’s an undeserved win!
We had some good spurts - dominating the first 10 minutes - but they were few and far between. Everton hardly deserved their goal but once they scored (or rather, once we scored for […]

I am very nervous about this one. The last international break was not kind to us and, with Gerrard mired in one of the worst slumps of his career, it’s hard to see how we’ll do against an Everton team who have run hot and cold this season.
If nothing else, the Toffees will be well […]

Here’s the shortlist, in alphabetical order. Discuss:
1. Buffon
2. Cannavaro
3. Cech
4. Cristiano Ronaldo
5. Deco
6. Drogba
7. Essien
8. Eto’o
9. Gattuso
10. Gerrard
11. Henry
12. Juninho
13. Kaka
14. Klose
15. Lahm
16. Lampard
17. Marquez
18. Messi
19. Nesta
20. Pirlo
21. Ribery
22. Riquelme
23. Ronaldinho
24. Rooney
25. Terry
26. Tevez
27. Thuram
28. Torres
29. van Nistelrooy
30. Vieira
My vote’s for Messi but the most under-rated player on that list would be Riquelme. The man’s an absolute magician. If I were to make a team from the shortlist, it would look something like this:
GK - Buffon
RB - Thuram
CB - Nesta/Marquez
CB - Cannavaro
LB - Lahm
RW - […]

Just heard a rumour that Rafa is tracking the Monaco number 10, Jeremy Mendes. He’s supposed to be one of the brightest lights in French football right now - which doesn’t fill me with confidence. Just look at Cisse.
From what I can see on YouTube, he’s skillful and not short of pace. Finishing looks a […]

Another two points dropped, this time at home and this time against Spurs.
We started well, scored a deserved goal and pretty much dominated the first half before falling asleep and letting in a sloppy, sloppy goal. Not content with giving up one goal, we then proceeded concede pretty much exactly the same goal early in […]

This is our first must win game of the season. Spurs have been struggling so far but look as if they’re starting to find some form so it’s incumbent on us to not let them get any momentum. After some, frankly, dire performances, we desperately need to bounce back and get a good victory and, […]

It’s hard to have a season-long view of rotation when the team plays in such a disjointed, insipid and uninspired manner.
Perhaps we’ll be looking back to September/October as the month where we trod water while others burnt out, but the fact is, that was not the performance we were looking for.
Five points behind Marseille and […]

I’m confused. I got the back five right, but am mystified by the rest of the team:
Reina
Finnan
Carra
Hyypia
Aurelio
Benayoun
Gerrard
Sissoko
Leto
Torres
Crouch
I thought Leto was pretty good against Reading so let’s see how it goes.
