The guys over at The Score have come up with their list of 50 top players in the EPL right now.
Can’t really argue with too many off them, although I’d like to see Torres a little higher come the end of the season – he’s been great, but he can be better.
Also, apologies on the [...]

That was…infuriating. Rafa clearly had the game plan to beat Man Utd today. The team had been well briefed and everyone did what was asked of them, from a tactical perspective. However, Rafa’s penchant for buying” seven out ten” players – players who will consistently perform to decent standard, but who will never really shine [...]

Last night, Liverpool beat Manchester Utd 1-0 at Anfield. Jermaine Pennant slotted home a 25 yard free-kick from just to the left of the “D” of the penalty box. Tevez went off injured, which helped, and both Reina and Gerrard put in great performances. The margin of victory would’ve been greater if Fernando Torres had [...]

Well, for one, I believe that the Liverpool captain will become the England captain. Steven Gerrard should always have been the England captain over John Terry. I, like most of the rest of the world, had no idea why John Terry was appointed captain by second-choice Steve. Gerrard has experience of winning at the highest [...]

So the die has been cast, the names are “virtually” in the bag and Liverpool will face one of:
Real Madrid
AC Milan
Barcelona
Inter Milan
Sevilla
I’m with Torres – I’d like to see Liverpool play Real Madrid who, incidentally, have never played at Anfield. With our famous stadium’s life coming to an end, it would be a special, [...]

Wow, that was some result. Needing a win in the uber-hostile atmosphere at l’Olympic Marseille to get into the lucrative last 16 of the Champions League and we come out to stuff l’OM 4-0. Outrageous.
Gerrard put away the rebound to the penalty he won and subsequently missed. Torres slalomed through the Marseille defence feinting here [...]

Momo Sissoko is, apparently, really mad that Rafa has noticed his sub-standard appearances this season and has taken action by dropping him from the side. Not content with being part of the team that lost 3-1 to READING (!!!), he’s indicated he may leave in January.
Great. One less central midfielder. One less person for Lucas [...]

Wow. I was away over the weekend and haven’t had a chance to see the highlights but I have read some reports etc. (clearly, this being the internet, this makes me an expert!)
Sounds as if the result wasn’t a true reflection of the game but, having Crouch and Voronin as wingers to a central midfield [...]

In the end, Liverpool cruised to their fifth straight win and scored their 21st goal since that dour 0-0 draw away to Blackburn. But it could have been so different. Bolton made the trip to Anfield and would have been Wandering how they went into the break 2-0 down, as opposed to 1-1.
