Liverpool 1 Sparta Prague 0 (1-0 agg) Kuyt 86 That was a good bit better than the first leg, and a winning result that we deserved. We played with better tempo, we created more chances, and whilst the winning goal took a long time in coming, it was a fair result. Dalglish switched things around, [...]
Sparta Prague 0 Liverpool 0 (1st leg, Europa League, round of 32) This was a woeful performance by Liverpool, as we only mustered up a mere 3 chances and all of them off target. We were really poor and Dalglish can only be left scrathing his head after this one. The only good news was [...]
Liverpool 1 Wigan 1 Meireles 24 – Gohouri 65 Liverpool return to earth with a display that lacked punch and a dropping of two points. Whilst we did deserve to win this match, hitting the woodwork twice, we didnt get expansive enough to create enough scoreable chances. Its games and results like these that determine [...]
Chelsea 0 Liverpool 1 – Meireles 69 Wow, now this was a nice win to savour! The added spice was the inclusion of Torres into the Chelsea line-up. But apart from this, we played well and whilst we didnt create as many chances as Chelsea, the ones we did create were better. A great win, [...]
Liverpool 2 Stoke 0 Meireles 47 Suarez 79 Liverpool’s run of wins continues, this time deserved and with slightly more aplomb. It was after a hectic transfer window set of changes, but Dalglish and Liverpool got back to the football and won with an unusual changed formation. There was a lot of pre-match talk, what [...]
Liverpool 1 Fulham 0 Panstil og 52 Liverpool get a win, just about, in a bit of a scrappy affair where chances by both sides were had. The ‘luck’ of Dalglish may be rubbing off, even if this was a lesser and a less potent performance. Dalglish again went with a 4-2-3-1, with the same [...]
Wolves 0 Liverpool 3 – Torres 36 – Meireles 50 – Torres 90+1 Now that is more like it! A solid win for us, fully deserved, plus away from home, and Kenny Dalglish’s first win. Plus, the players played well, not perfect, but well. Even if the opposition was lowly Wolves, given our recent loss [...]
Liverpool 2 Everton 2 Meireles 29 – Distin 46 – Beckford 52 Kuyt (pen) 68 We only played so-so in this match but at least we fully deserved the draw. The “magic touch” that fans hoped that King Kenny would bring didnt transpire as we failed to put away some chances in the first half. [...]
PLAYED 20 – REVIEW We eventually got to the Played-20 stage for all teams after the Xmas period. The ladder format is as follows: 44 Man Utd 43 42 41 40 39 Arsenal 38 Man City 37 36 Tottenham 35 Chelsea 34 33 32 31 30 29 Bolton 28 Blackpool 27 Sunderland, Stoke 26 25 [...]
Blackpool 2 Liverpool 1 – Torres 3 Taylor-Fletcher 12 Campbell 69 If Dalglish thought that getting Liverpool playing in the right way was going to be easy, then this match was a demonstration of the difficulty of the task ahead. Liverpool were tepid in this match, and with weak defending allowed Blackpool all too easily [...]
