At long last we finally have a game. I usually hate games being postponed, but the postponement of the Fulham and Blackpool games came as a relief to be honest. The Fulham game because I really didn’t fancy venturing out in that God awful weather (I can actually hear the scoffing of all you Norwegians [...]
Top Ten of 2010 – by Sachin Nakrani
So another frustrating and only-occasionally uplifting 12 months in the life of Liverpool Football Club is almost complete. There have been some huge events during the past year and as the team sits in midtable obscurity, way off its former glorious self, the supporters can only hope that they lead to better times in [...]
Newcastle 3 Liverpool 1 – Match Reaction
Should have seen it coming really. Whenever we get to a point where you look at our upcoming fixtures and think we could go on a bit of a run, this happens. It was a bad defeat, but it was a totally self-inflicted one. You can’t miss chances at one end, and defend like schoolboys [...]
Newcastle v Liverpool – Match Preview
Picking up points away from home has proved to be very difficult for the reds this season (and last season for that matter), but today’s trip to St James’ Park provides a great opportunity to improve our away record. Whilst there is always the ‘new manager’ factor to be wary of, this surely has [...]
Liverpool v Aston Villa – Match Preview
Gerard Houllier returns to Anfield tonight in a game that’s very important for both himself and his reds’ counterpart Roy Hodgson. Despite neither being in their jobs for very long, both are under pressure and have not gained the confidence of their fanbase. I haven’t followed Villa too closely, but I read at [...]
Spurs 2 Liverpool 1 – Match Reaction
When the gut wrenching disappointment wears off, there will a lot of positives to take from this unjust defeat. It hasn’t worn off yet though, it’s a good while since I felt this bad about a loss. I’ve been angry plenty of times, but not gutted. In some ways, playing well and losing is much [...]
In the middle of a Chain Reaction? – by Sachin Nakrani
I am writing this blog before our visit to White Hart Lane, a match which will hopefully see a side seemingly paralysed by travel sickness finally do themselves justice away from Anfield and record what could prove to be a highly decisive victory. But ahead of our clash with Tottenham, there is another fixture of [...]
Tottenham v Liverpool – Match Preview
Tomorrow’s game at White Hart Lane presents the reds with a glorious opportunity to get back in the hunt for the European places. Spurs are a good side, but they’ve often struggled following midweek Champions League action, and we’ve had a full week of training to prepare for the game.
Whilst our away form has been [...]
Liverpool v West Ham – Match Preview
Difficult to know what to expect from this. For a start, there is still a little under 24 hours remaining until kick off, meaning there’s plenty of time for some more midfielders to be ruled out. First we lost Lucas through suspension after a stupid foul in stoppage time of a game that was already [...]
Stoke 2 Liverpool 0 – Match Reaction
Soul destroying. It was just horrible, and all the good work of the previous couple of weeks has now been undone by the disappointing draw at Wigan and this pitiful loss at Stoke. I’m not bothered about the goals we conceded, the first was a fluke and the second came because we had put a [...]
Wigan 1 Liverpool 1 – Match Reaction
Talk about back down to earth with a frigging bump. The warm afterglow of the Chelsea game and the recent good run has disappeared after this. Not because we didn’t win, but because of how we approached this one. It wasn’t a defeat, but it felt like one. The first 15-20 minutes were great, we scored [...]
Wigan v Liverpool – Match Preview
Massive game this. After the good work of the last few weeks, it’s this kind of game that we have to win to maintain the momentum we’ve built up. Losing to Wigan would ensure all the old doubts and criticisms would resurface. No point beating Chelsea if you’re then going to lose [...]
Liverpool v Chelsea – Match Preview
Dirk Kuyt looks set to return to the fold as Chelsea visit Anfield for what is always a lively fixture. Dirk has made a quicker than expected recovery from injury, and has been named in a 19 man squad for tomorrow’s game.
We go into the game in good recent form, with three straight wins, two [...]
Bolton Wanderers 0 Liverpool 1 – Match Reaction
Not a classic, but a valuable win and another improved performance. Aside from a twenty minute spell at Old Trafford, our away form has been horrendous this season, so whilst this wasn’t anything to get particularly excited about, it was certainly much better than what we’ve seen away from Anfield up to now. Straw [...]
Bolton Wanderers v Liverpool – Match Preview
More of the same please. If we can reproduce the same kind of performance that saw off Blackburn last week, we shouldn’t go too far wrong at the Reebok. Bolton are no pushovers, but they are a different proposition to the alehouse sides of Allardyce and Megson.
They can still ‘go long’, but Owen Coyle [...]
Liverpool v Blackburn Rovers – Match Preview
When you’re struggling, facing a Sam Allardyce managed team is the last thing you need. Fat Sam will be licking his slobbery chops in anticipation of this one. We’re vulnerable right now, and he knows it. He’ll have his team fired up for this one, and we’ll have to face an aerial [...]
Napoli 0 Liverpool 0 – Match Reaction
Not bad. Most people thought we would get bummed by Napoli, especially given the weakened side we fielded, but this was a fairly routine point and we never really looked in any trouble. Konchesky’s goal-line clearance just before half time was the only seriously dodgy moment we had, whilst we could have won [...]
Everton 2 Liverpool 0 – Match Reaction
Back down to earth with a bump. We’ve still won more court cases than Premiership matches, and worryingly it’s looking like it might be some time before that statistic is overturned. We’re bad. Very bad. And after this latest horror show, the reality is, we ARE now in a relegation scrap. [...]
Everton v Liverpool – Match Preview
A few days ago I was dreading this game. Now? I can’t wait. It’s a new beginning for us after what happened yesterday, the huge dark clouds have lifted and suddenly everything doesn’t look so gloomy. The ‘epic swindle’ has put all of us ‘internet terrorists’ in a pretty good mood, [...]
On the Brink – by Sachin Nakrani
So this is what rock bottom feels like. Well, not quite. As shockingly bad as Liverpool have been, they remain two places and one point away from the foot of the Premier League table. It’s not all doom and gloom, then, for the 18-times champions of England as they contemplate relegation to the Championship next [...]
