John Riise Makes Me Misty-Eyed

By: CSD |

This is an open letter from John Arne Riise that was published on the official Liverpool website.
Dear fans of Liverpool FC,
After seven seasons at Anfield, it’s time for me to “walk on”. In many ways it feels inspiring and exciting to be familiar with the pressure of a new employer, meet new fans, meet a [...]

International Round-Up

By: Stop. |

5 Comments

Well, today is the day plenty of Liverpool fans will dread. Frankly, the thought that one of our first-teamers could pick up an injury whilst away on international duty is worrying, but with the sheer number of players away, it is increasingly likely.
Pepe Reina is away with Spain, and after last month’s appearance in the [...]

Liverpool vs Derby County: What will Rafa do?

By: Brian |

Broken record alert: Stevie-G and Carra are out for this one. God I hope this means Gerrard sits out the England qualifying matches. Come on, Stevie, let Limp foot Lampard get some playing time. Moving on, I first expect to see all those who weren’t featured against Toulouse on Tuesday start, which [...]

Liverpool 4, Toulouse 0

I’m not sure whether I should try to watch this match again, the final score almost says it all though it could have been worse for the French side. Toulouse sort of dug their own grave from the get-go by coming out with all guns blazing. That’s not how you’re going to beat [...]

Liverpool vs Toulouse II: the line-up

By: Brian |

Leto to start!!! Now I’m freakin’ pumped for a match I was otherwise dreading. If Leto plays as well as he did in the preseason, this should be a hella fun match to watch. The kid has the ability to wreak havoc on opposing defenses almost at will. Lucas Leiva will also [...]

Liverpool vs Toulouse II: What will Rafa do?

By: Brian |

No Comments

Apparently both teams will be missing their respective captains as well as other key players, but this being at Anfield and Liverpool being clearly the superior squad, the Reds should win this one and advance to the group stages of the Champions’ League. With that being said though, stranger things have happened. Anyhow, [...]

Liverpool vs Sunderland: the line-up

By: Brian |

No Comments

Reina
Arbeloa
Hyypia
Carragher
Finnan
Babel
Alonso
Sissoko
Pennant
Voronin
Torres
Subs:
Itandje
Agger
Riise
Kuyt
Mascherano
No real surprises except for maybe Hyypia for Agger. I sort of expect Agger to come in for the second half. I wasn’t sure how much Voronin played on Wednesday for the Ukraine, but I did think he would be somewhere on the team today. It’s his and Babel’s first Premiership starts. [...]

Liverpool vs Sunderland: What will Rafa do?

By: Brian |

The most obvious thing Rafa will do is start the players who did not participate in mid-week international friendlies which was Carragher, Arbeloa, Pennant, and apparently Sissoko. As far as I know, Momo did not play for Mali against Burkina Faso. I can also seem him playing players who did not play the [...]

International hangover: No Gerrard & no Carra = no win for England

By: Brian |

12 Comments

I can only laugh. As much as most fellow England fans take any chance to slag off on the scousers, we certainly needed them yesterday as England was embarrassed at New Wembley, 1-2, by a makeshift Germany squad. I hope this spells the beginning of the end for Paul Robinson who was simply [...]

Anfield Banter: Antwi injured, Heinze not coming, & some international previews

By: Brian |

* In what was looking like a great season to come for on-loan Godwin Antwi, a hamstring injury has forced the 19-year-old to sit out for up to four weeks. The defender apparently was hurt while in the midst of scoring his first goal for Hartlepool United on Saturday against Doncaster. As they [...]
