By Mihail Vladimirov. Raul Meireles, Glen Johnson and Steven Gerrard were all missing for Liverpool. Bolton were similarly affected with Marcos Alonso, Tyrone Mears and Sam Ricketts injured. Bolton’s record against Liverpool is poor. They had lost their previous nine matches in the Premier League, not scoring in six of those. Liverpool have won 11 [...]
Kenny Dalglish – the man who, along with Damien Comolli, ‘wasted millions of pounds’ this summer – has put the smile back on our faces. Aside from those of us who thought it, who’d have thought it? As one pundit on Sky’s Sunday Supplement put it just a couple of weeks ago, the Reds ‘collapsed’ [...]
By Mihail Vladimirov. We all love the player that scores and gets assists. Those guys whose moments of genius at the end of an attacking move directly create the goals that get our teams to glory. And why not? The professionals, however – the coaches, the directors, the scouts, and so on – are capable [...]
Liverpool entertain Bolton Wanderers on Saturday evening and with some tricky looking away fixtures in the shape of Stoke and Spurs coming up after the international break, three points is a must for Kenny Dalglish’s men. The Reds should be high on confidence following the 2-0 victory over Arsenal at the Emirates, while Bolton produced [...]
It’s been a while, but it’s back. Ignorance may be bliss, but for some people in the media, it’s apparently a badge of honour. This post is for Subscribers only.
After a disappointing Carling Cup campaign last season which saw the “B” team defeated on penalties by Northampton, Liverpool start this season’s campaign at an earlier stage due to last season’s failure to qualify for European competition. Will this be the opportunity to utilise the squad to its fullest? And how have Liverpool performed against [...]
By Mihail Vladimirov. Samir Nasri was included in Arsenal’s squad despite his “imminent” move to Manchester City. The Gunners were without suspended duo Gervinho and Alex Song while defenders Johan Djourou, Kieran Gibbs (both hamstring) and Armand Traore (groin) were also missing. Tomas Rosicky (thigh) was rested after the mid-week Champions League game with Udinese, while Jack Wilshere and Abou Diaby (ankle) were still out. Glen Johnson was [...]
Strangely, there seemed to be a fair amount of negativity from a fair few fans after Liverpool’s victory over Arsenal. Perhaps the Gunners’ problems had been overplayed to the point where there was a sense that the Reds were going to face some mid-table side. Of course, even going away to mid-table sides still favours [...]
By Mihail. Over the past five years or more Liverpool have tried a number of players at left back. Paul Konchesky was the biggest disappointment. Fabio Aurelio has probably been the most technically and mentally adept, but his almost-permanent spot on the treatment table has robbed the club of a quality left back just when [...]
Liverpool travel to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday with Arsenal arguably looking as vulnerable as they ever have since Arsene Wenger took the helm. The Gunners’ (now former) captain and talisman Cesc Fabregas has finally returned to Barcelona, while their other main creative force, Samir Nasri, seemingly wants to copy Fabregas in seeking pastures new.
