Captain Fantastic, Steven Gerrard tore a leg muscle in yesterdays win against Bolton and he will miss England’s friendly against Germany on Wednesday night. Gerrard has had scans and it is said that he will be out for between 7 and 10 days and he could miss the home game against Fulham on Saturday. Injuries are never great to...

Great result for Liverpool. Going into the game yesterday, I was a bit concerned as it is never easy to go to Bolton and come back with 3 points. But we did the job and you could not have asked for a better result although we should have buried Bolton after all the chances we created. We bossed the first 45 minutes as if we were...

Since he arrived at Liverpool in the summer on a free transfer, we have not seen much of the player as he has always had one injury or the other. I am...

What a disaster! I do not think I have seen Liverpool play so badly as they did in the first 45 minutes of yesterdays Carling Cup game against Tottenham. We looked lost and seemed to forget that one has to defend when playing the game. Well it would have helped if we had forgotten how to defend but remembered how to attack but even...

Rafa came out today and said that Gerrard and Keane will not be playing in the Carling Cup tomorrow against Spurs. It is really no surprise as I see a lot more first team regulars being rested tomorrow for this tie. Stevie needs a rest as he has been playing a lot of football lately and so to Keane who is also carrying a slight...

January is just around the corner and that means the transfer window will be open again. I expect there to be quite a bit of activity during that time. Not so much at Liverpool but with other teams in the Premiership. But it is not going to surprise me when we get bombarded with a lot of bids for Xabi Alonso. With the form Alonso...

The sight we all wanted to see, Fernando Torres back on the pitch. It was great to see him get a run out in the closing minutes against West Brom. We have missed Torres over the last couple of games, we could have down with his killer instinct infront of goal against Atletico and Spurs but whilst Torres was out we did not do too...
