All roads lead to Liverpool

All the people of Bangkok, it seemed, woke up on Wednesday, threw on their Liverpool jerseys, picked out their Liverpool scarves, and headed with a single-minded determination to the Rajamangala Stadium hours before Liverpool’s match with the Thai national team. I’m pretty sure if I had ventured out while the match was...

Rafa the funnyman

Remember the crazy Rafa who listed out all of Ferguson’s shortcomings in that little tirade which began Liverpool’s decline last season, the one where we let the Premiership get away? Well, watching him in person at Liverpool’s first press conference in Bangkok today got me thinking, in between trying to stifle...

Liverpool 1 Lazio 0

Eight friendlies, no defeats, not a bad pre-season I would say. Last night, Liverpool played their final pre-season game at home against Lazio. It looked like the game would end in a scoreless draw until Andriy Voronin smashed home a late winner in the 90th minute to give Liverpool the win. Yet again Voronin was the man to come up...

Liverpool vs Lazio Preview

The final game of pre-season. So far so good, now it is just time to wrap it all up against the Italian side Lazio at Anfield. It will be a great game tomorrow, largely due to the fact that we will be playing our ‘first’ home game of the season. It may only be a friendly but any game for Liverpool at Anfield is special....

Liverpool 4 – Valerenga 1

Just a few quick notes about today’s friendly: 1. Robbie Keane showed the kind of vision we are expecting out of him with his backwards flick onto Alonso for his beautiful curling opener. I think perhaps Xabi is quite eager to show he belongs at Liverpool and only good could come of that. 2. David Ngog, who is this guy? ...

Liverpool vs Valerenga Preview

We are getting towards the business end of pre-season now as Liverpool take on Valerenga. The Reds are in Norway to prepare for their match tomorrow night against the Norwegian team. This is our second last pre-season game as we take on Lazio and that will be it as far as pre-season is concerned. Just 180 more minutes left for Rafa...

Liverpool 4 – Rangers 0

Well in the past few days there have been a lot of discussions in the media about our supposed “gun-shy” strikers. I just have to ask; if two strikers totaling 50+ goals between them and a small group of others scoring 10+ each themselves is indeed “gun-shy” then was anyone successful scoring last season? ...

Liverpool vs Rangers Preview

Tomorrow Liverpool travel to Glasgow to take on Rangers in another pre-season game. After Liverpool only managed to draw against Villarreal in midweek, I am sure the Reds will be out to look for a victory tomorrow and also score a couple of goals. Hopefully we will see new signing Robbie Keane partnered upfront with Fernando Torres...

Liverpool 0 Villarreal 0

I hope this run of draws in pre-season is not a sign on things to come when the real action starts on 16 August. Tonights result against Villarreal was Liverpool’s third draw in a row in pre-season. A bit worrying was that we failed to score but on the other hand we did not concede any. The night seemed to be more about...

Liverpool vs Villarreal Preview

Tonight Liverpool take on Villarreal in a pre-season game in Spain. This will be the first pre-season game where Rafa will have a full compliment of players to choose from now that the Spanish contingent is back in training after winning the European Championship. Krisztian Nemeth is also back after playing for Hungary in the...
