International Round-Up

By: Stop. |

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 [...]

Xabi should have had a hat-trick

Did you expect me to be optimistic about our 6-0 thrashing of Derby County today? Okay, so I’m a little pleased. Okay, so I have a smile on my face right now that plastic surgery probably couldn’t take away. More so because I picked up Xabi and Torres on my Fantasy squads [...]

Liverpool vs Derby County: What will Rafa do?

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 |

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 2, Sunderland 0: Player grades

By: Brian |

Pepe Reina C
Didn’t really have to do much. Didn’t get bored and have his ADD affect his performance which is always a good thing. It was his first clean sheet of the season, but should have been his third, only this time the ref didn’t give a bogus penalty. Funny how that [...]

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 |

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 [...]

Liverpool vs Mickey Mouse FC: What will Rafa do?

I doubt I’ll get around to doing this tomorrow so I might as well get it out of the way. First and foremost, the Gerrard dilemma. I personally hope he doesn’t play, but I’m not Rafa. I kind of think he won’t start and will be on the bench just in case. [...]
