Amazing performance by Liverpool to contain Barca again at Anfield tonight, all the better as we attacked at every opportunity and didn’t simply sit back and soak up 90 minutes of pressure. As with the game against Manure last Saturday though, again we could not finish excellent chances, story of the season, be nice to see Robbie thrown on for the last 20 minutes in matches like these, bag a scrappy winner.
Anyway, Champions League quarter final, and we knocked out the holders at the stage that saw us as holders knocked out last year.
Job done!
ps – Great article by Oliver Holt on mirror.co.uk today
Arse!
Jammy? I don’t think so, we had the chances and the possession to win it, these are the kind of games you win on the way to a premiership crown. completely against the run of play, with a key player injured then one sent off, against all odds you end up with 3 points in the bag.
I have heard of Liverpool fans saying that if we can’t win the Premiership, then they would rather Manure win than Chelsea again. Balls, it’s going to stick in our throats whoever wins if it isn’t us.
We have had a problem all season with not putting chances away, so hopefully we can get in a 20 per season striker in the summer to sort it out. Liverpool are nearly there, and next season should see us mount a much stonger challenge. Roll on Tuesday when we welcome Barcelona to Anfield in the Champions League.
After reading about Craig Bellamys golf club motivation experiment with John Arne Riise:
icliverpool – Liverpool FC article
Then listening to tonights result in the Champions League knock out first leg Barcelona 1 V Liverpool 2. it seems the welsh wizard may be on to something, not only did both of the protagonists both score in a Liverpool win in the Nou Camp against the current European champions, but Riise scored with his right leg!!
So maybe we should pass him a nine iron and let him loose on the England cricket team, and maybe Tim Henman as well, in fact any one in need of motivation, maybe send him into a few deprived inner city schools to whip the kids into shape, looks like he may have stumbled upon a post football career eh?
Been a while, so what’s new?
Have uploaded Christmas pics to flickr at last.
Great family Xmas made better by the visit over the festive period of my little brother Derren, sister in law Patricia and my nephew and neice Jamie and Selena.
Breaking news at the mo, Liverpool are beating Chelsea 2-0 at Anfield COME ON YOU REDS!!!!
Lets see if I can manage at least one post a week this year eh?
Belated HAPPY NEW YEAR to ya :O)
Number 22 against Arsenal!!!!!
He’s big, he’s red, his feet hang out the bed:
A nice walk in the open air for Liverpool F.C on a SUnday afternoon in Cardiff was topped off by picking up the first silverware of the season.
Nice for the new boys to get a taste of what will certainly be more to come. Rafa obviously had the better of Jose today, although Jose had already stated that his squad were behind Liverpool in pre season fitness. Always good to have an excuse handy eh Jose?
YNWA!
BBC.co.uk are reporting that Liverpool have tables a £6 Million bid for Blackburn Striker Craig Bellamy activating a contract clause. Deall needs to be wrapped up before the end of June, more details HERE
Seems like a bargain to me for a class player with a bit of bite. Apparently they door is still open for a move for Pablo Aimer from Valencia, deal in the region of £5 million. This is one I have wanted to see for a few years, we never replaced MacMannaman and have lacked a consistent playmaker to link the midlfield and attack (Garcia ok, but appears to thrive on the big games) That’s my two penneth anyway.
Currently reading “Fowler”, really good read and the first sports biography/auto biography I have read since “Shanks” many years ago. Maybe it’s the World Cup but I am starting to give more room to the auld footy again in me brainbox.
Time to dig out me old Puma Dalglish boots and take up the great game again :O)
Well, I couldn’t let it go without a mention, how many games without more than one goal and now we’re banging them in for fun?
Gotta say goodbye to Cisse though, maybe bring in Fernando Torres in the summer and Andre Shevchenko, Pablo Aimer would be nice also Ci?
Welcome home ROBBIE!!!!!!!!!!!
