Liverpool Way
« Previous EntriesNext Entries »Liverpool v Blackpool – Match Preview
Bottom three in October. I’d like to think that means the only way is up for us now, and let’s face it, if you could hand pick any opponent for a home game you have to win, then Blackpool would be pretty high on the list. Not because they are the weakest side in the [...]
Utrecht 0 Liverpool 0 – Match Reaction
Win your home games and don’t lose away. That’s the key to progression in Europe. So far, job done. So why did I feel like slashing my wrists watching this one then? Maybe because the result was literally the only positive thing to take from it. Once again, it was [...]
Liverpool v Sunderland – Match Preview
It’s seems a little knee jerk to be talking about ‘must win’ games so early into a a season, but I don’t see how today’s clash with Sunderland can be viewed as anything else. We’ve had a tough run of league games to start the campaign, but even taking that into account five points from [...]
Manchester United 3 Liverpool 2 – Match Reaction
I don’t really want to be writing this. I’d rather just put the game out of my mind completely and move on, but I guess this is my job and I have to write something. So, here goes. The 1st half – yet again – was garbage. It’s getting beyond a [...]
Manchester United v Liverpool – Match Preview
The big one. The fixture list wasn’t particularly kind to Roy Hodgson, it was a difficult enough job to walk into anyway, but an opening five fixtures that saw us facing three of last season’s top five, as well as making a trip to a team unbeaten at home in a year was not [...]
Birmingham 0 Liverpool 0 – Match Reaction
Only the brilliance of Pepe Reina prevented this from being an embarrassment. Despite dominating possession for long periods, we had no cutting edge and virtually every time Birmingham put a ball in our box they looked like they would score. The alarm bells were ringing before the game when the team was announced, and [...]
Birmingham v Liverpool – Match Preview
Feels like ages since we last had a game. It’s been a real stop-start season so far, those international breaks are a huge pain in the arse. It seems like about six months ago that Joe Cole was harshly sent off against the Arse, and yet he’s STILL suspended. It’s ridiculous. Our season hasn’t really got [...]
Weekend Round Up (28-29 Aug 2010)
One of the biggest home bankers on the coupon last weekend had to be Spurs against Wigan. Yet somehow, they managed to lose to Roberto Martinez’s no-hopers. It wasn’t a fluke either, Wigan could and should have won by more, and but for one of the worst sitters we’ll see anywhere all season by that [...]
Liverpool v West Brom – Match Preview
When the fixtures were announced, our opening two games were always going to be difficult but we would all have been hoping for more than just the one solitary point from them. But those fixtures were difficult to call, and there was as much chance we’d end up with six points as none. Our third [...]
Trabzonspor 1 Liverpool 2 – Match Reaction
Good result in the end. I was worried at half time though, after yet another disappointing opening half had left us ’staring down the barrel’ in the words of the manager. Thankfully, our second half display was much improved, as it has been in every game except the Man City debacle, and although we left [...]
Manchester City 3 Liverpool 0 – Match Reaction
Soul destroying. I really felt we had a great chance of going to City and picking up the three points, but that was just dreadful. All over the park, dreadful. We were second best everywhere, and the most galling part is I don’t think City played that well either. We handed [...]
Manchester City v Liverpool – Match Preview
Very difficult game to call this one. Two sides that are relatively evenly matched, despite the huge financial outlay of City, and a repeat of last season’s uneventful, boring contest can’t entirely be ruled out. A lot will depend on whether one side can grab an early goal, that would open the game up.
City have [...]
Weekend Round Up (21-22 Aug 2010)
For the second week in succession, Chelsea hit six. Admittedly, they were up against sh*te opposition again, but still, you have to hand it to them, they’re a machine at the moment. They look like the team to beat, and a defeat for them by anyone outside the top few clubs looks [...]
Weekend Round Up (14-16 Aug 2010)
The big winners on day one were Blackpool, who trounced Wigan 4-0 at the DW Stadium. What a start for Holloway’s boys. I’d love to see them do well, as Holloway is a character, and his team plays really attractive football. West Brom tried and failed to stay up by sticking to [...]
Liverpool v Arsenal – Match Preview
Roy Hodgson is plunged in at the deep end tomorrow as Arsenal come to Anfield for his first Premiership game since becoming Liverpool manager. No easy bedding in game against a newly promoted side for Roy, it’s a blood and thunder clash against a side who we will hopefully be competing with in the [...]
Number 19 Can Wait – by Sachin Nakrani
Liverpool face Arsenal on Sunday afternoon but it appears their most dangerous opponent this coming season could be over-confidence. A mere three months after the club lay on its knees; ranked the seventh best in England and facing the very real threat of losing its manager and most important players, there are some Kopites speaking [...]
Is Poulsen the right man for Liverpool? – by Pete Schulz
Earlier today Christian Poulsen completed his move to Anfield from Juventus. And even though he is a familiar name, fans are already asking what he’ll bring to the team and whether it’s a good or a bad signing for new manager Roy Hodgson. So let’s have a look at the arguments on either side.
Is Poulsen [...]
FC Rabotnicki 0 Liverpool 2 – Match Reaction
Good start for the new boss. He’d been pretty defeatist before this game, making some comment about not liking our chances of getting a win or something. I don’t actually think he believed that, it’s just his way. I remember last season (maybe even the season before?) I absolutely slated him for some defeatist comment [...]
2010 World Cup Round Up (Semi’s & Final)
Congratulations to Spain, just about worthy Champions I’d say even though Germany ran them very close as the best team of the tournament. The final was far from being a classic, as Holland adopted a 1970’s Leeds United roughhouse approach to the game and killed it as a spectacle. Total Football eh? File that one [...]
2010 World Cup Round Up (Quarter Finals)
Great to see Brazil go out, and even funnier to see them undone by someone playing them at their own game. All tournament Brazil have been diving, playacting, cheating. Of course they aren’t the only ones, most teams in the tournament have been doing it. But along with Spain, they’ve probably been the worst. Then [...]
