Kewell & Benayoun did nothing much on the flanks.



Liverpool need to sort out their strike-force this January window. Torres alone is not enuf, in case he has his off-day. At least the scum has Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez & Saha, all capable of scoring goals, whereas Liverpool depend heavily on Torres alone.

Bad day & sad day till the next match. Whenever scum wins, it hurts me for a few days..........!!!

Yes bro,i agree of wat u said..
1st touch was bad,not only kuyt
Gerrard dont perform,no one able to turn the game ard
defend against set piece..thats how we lost the game
obviously,we need some world class flanks player who is technically sound wif pace and penetration run.

btw,i was zap fr 1 of the unname and unknown supporter by calling scum scum..this was like hitting under the belt.

Why is it that everytime we lose the first response is to go out there and buy success? When does it stop?

I will put aside being a Pool fan for now and say this - this is the state of football today. It is not a Pool problem but a universal problem. You can win a game with a piece of luck no matter how hard your opponent tries. And truth be told Scum have had it handed to them in Europe many times. Football today is hit and run, smash and grab. Defence over attack, teamwork over individual brilliance. We can't complain cos we are part of the problem in the way we play under Rafa (and previously Houllier). The epic stories that football used to tell may soon dry up.

Someday maybe we will all give up on the game. Except for the glory-hunters.

Good game for both teams, Man U was lucky to get the 3 points

Hyypia refuses to throw towel in

Veteran Sami Hyypia has denied Liverpool are now facing mission impossible in the title race following Sunday's defeat by Manchester United.

The Reds started the campaign with high hopes of ending their 17-year championship drought and despite some inconsistent form on home soil were well placed to make their move until 10 days ago.

Although Rafael Benitez's side have secured a financially imperative place in the knock-out phase of the Champions League, the outstanding four-goal win in Marseille has been sandwiched by the loss of Liverpool's unbeaten Premier League record at Reading and yet another defeat to United at Anfield.

The latest loss against their fierce rivals - their fifth in six seasons - has left the Merseyside giants nine points behind United and 10 adrift of leaders Arsenal.

Admittedly, Liverpool do have a game in hand but, after picking up just two points in three meetings with their fellow 'Big Four' members this term, the evidence is not pointing towards the end of that long wait for a 19th title.

Nevertheless, Hyypia is refusing to be downcast.

The Finland star is convinced Liverpool proved they were United's equals.

And, while he accepts his team-mates have a lot to do in order to haul themselves back into contention, Hyypia believes they are up to the task.

"It is not the end of the world," he said. "Of course, if you think about 10 points it is quite a lot but I don't believe it is a major obstacle to clear and it is certainly not impossible.

"It would have been an important game to win but we didn't manage it, so we have to remained focused on each individual game and see where we are in May."

For the second season running, Liverpool were undone by a set piece, fatally failing to pick up Wayne Rooney on the edge of the area when Ryan Giggs took a corner and then leaving Carlos Tevez on his own too as he turned home the England striker's shot.

It is the kind of mistake that Benitez must eradicate if his team are to stand a chance of getting themselves back into the championship fight, although Hyypia feels there are plenty of positives to draw from the defeat as well.

"Manchester United achieved what they came for; a clean sheet and they also managed to sneak a goal," he said. "But there were lots of positives for us too."

The worry for Liverpool fans is that while Arsenal, Chelsea and, now, United have all been to Anfield, they are still to play away from home against any of their major rivals.

Hyypia acknowledges it is imperative to inflict some damage when the Merseysiders go on their travels and is optimistic they can do just that.

"Our away form has been better than the home form so I am confident we will get something out of those games away," he said.

"The matches against the other teams in the big four are very important. We have to catch them and we know for sure if we win those games our rivals cannot get any points."

Ironically, Liverpool face one of their major rivals on Wednesday when they visit Chelsea looking to book a place in the Carling Cup semi-finals.

The Reds have enjoyed plenty of success against the Londoners in cup combat over recent times, including two thrilling Champions League semi-final wins.

However, Hyypia accepts history will count for nothing at Stamford Bridge.

"I don't want to look at the records at all," he said. "Every game is different - we go there to win and do our best."

The skipper is suffering from a stomach upset and has not travelled with the rest of the squad for the match against Avram Grant’s side, as the Reds go in search of their first win at Stamford Bridge since January 2004.

However, the loss of Gerrard has been counter balanced by the news that Xabi Alonso could be involved following his recovery from the metatarsal injury he sustained in the 1-1 draw at home to Arsenal in October.

Xabi Alonso is desperate to put months of injury frustration behind him by helping Liverpool secure a Carling Cup semi-final berth at the expense of Chelsea on Wednesday night.
The Spanish midfielder's campaign has been disrupted by a recurring metatarsal injury that has seen him feature in just nine matches for the Reds so far this season.

But he is fit again now and with the news that Steven Gerrard has been ruled out of the Stamford Bridge clash with a stomach upset, he is ready to show Reds fans just what they've been missing.

"I would love to be given some minutes on the pitch tonight because I feel I am now ready," said Alonso.

"I have been training for two and a half weeks – both with the first team and the reserves when the first team have been away – and everything has gone fine. But the true test comes in games.

"I have been tackling as normal in training and I am totally pain-free, so I don't expect there to be any problems if I am involved."

Our favourite number 14 was ruled out with the initial fracture against Portsmouth back in September and despite returning to action six weeks later against Arsenal, he suffered a recurrence of the injury in the very same match against Arsene Wenger's side.

It was a heavy blow for the Spain international and one he found difficult to come to terms with. He freely admits it was a frustrating period for him but is confident that he is now finally over his injury nightmare.

"It has been frustrating for me," he said. "No player likes to be injured because you want to be playing and training with your team mates and it is not nice when you cannot do that.

"I have been injured before and you have to accept it when it happens because it is part and parcel of being a footballer, but what made it worse this time was that I had only just returned from the first injury when I was injured again."

Looking back, Alonso accepts his return against Arsenal may have come too soon for him and believes he should have listened to the tell-tale signs his body was giving him as the match with the Gunners wore on.

"It is easy with hindsight but maybe it would have been better if I had come off just before I got injured again," he said.

"I had been feeling a bit tired around that time because it was only my first game back and the match was very fast. But as a player you don't want to come off, particularly when the team is winning and I stayed on."

Having been injured twice already this season it is ironic Alonso's return to action could come face-to-face with a player who broke his ankle during his first season in English football.

However, it is something that holds no relevance for the Spaniard, who says he holds no grudges towards Frank Lampard and is looking forward to a physical battle with the Chelsea man, should he be selected.

"He likes to tackle and so do I," said Alonso. "I really enjoy the physical aspect of the game and I know that because of that I will make tackles and I will also be tackled.

"We have played against each other quite a few times now and we both try to win the ball and to do the best for our own team, but I have no problems with him.

"For me, the most important thing is that I am back in the squad. I am delighted about that and if I can be involved in the game then that will be even better."

The Reds have a less than enviable record at Stamford Bridge having yet to win there under Rafael Benitez. But Alonso feels Liverpool now have a squad capable of winning anywhere, and insists that a victory tonight would be a big achievement, even if it is a Carling Cup tie and not the Premier League.

"Games against Chelsea are always important," he said. "It doesn't matter what the competition is, whether it is the league, the cup or in Europe.

"We have to believe that we can get a good result at Stamford Bridge because if we can win there it would give us the belief that we can beat the big four on their own grounds.

"If we want to be challenging for the big prizes then these are the kind of places where we need to go and get good results."

The Reds face the Blues knowing a victory would book their place in the last four of the Carling Cup and further enhance their chances of securing their first trip to the new Wembley.

But with a league match at home to Portsmouth on Saturday beginning a run of four games in 11 days, the boss insists he must make full use of all the players at his disposal, starting at Chelsea tonight.

"We want to win every game but we have Portsmouth on Saturday, so it is important that we use the squad," said Rafa.

"We have players who are tired so we have to analyse which players are tired and which players are ready before deciding on who will play against Chelsea.

"Christmas is a very busy period so we have to use the squad and that means I have to find a balance for each game.

"If I ask the players they tell me they want to win every game but if you have enough players in the squad with quality you should use them."

Against the scums, the wayward shot had to land at Tevez's feet for a simple tap-in while Benayoun decided not to follow the last man up, to guard the post.
Against the blues, Carragher's block ended up looping the ball over Itandje, who until that moment was having a blinder of a game ... if this first goal didn't happen, Crouch would never have gone berserk & the 2nd goal would never have come about.

Seems like the unpredictable form continues.....

Sometimes I scratched ny head at what is Liverpool's manager trying to do? I was very surprised at yesterday's starting lineup. He make so many changes for such a crucial game. As if he does not know who are his best 11 players by now. I think he is only intersted in champions league and not in the domestic competitions.If you put all yor eggs in 1 basket you might end up not having any trophies at all. Worse still Liverpool might have to fight for the 4th champions league position again.

I beg to differ ... it was not a crucial game, not unless we've reached the semi-finals. It's just the League Cup after all ... winning it (or even the FA Cup) gets you only a UEFA place. So, how crucial can it be?

Haizzz ... of course he knows his best 11, but:
1) Gerrard had "lau sai" the whole day before the match
2) ahead of the festive fixtures,
a) Alonso & Aurelio needed games to recover match fitness
b) Kewell need to be eased in again
c) Reina, Hyypia, Torres & Mascherano were rested to maintain their sharpness
Really see no wrong in doing what he did ...

Arsenal certainly didn't play their best 11, but bumped their way over Blackburn.

This I agree with you 50%.
He is still very much interested in the Champions League ... so are the Yanks owners, simply becoz that's where the money is. You dun win those money (by at least getting a very good run, compared to your other domestic rivals), then where got money to buy the players necessary to improve the team any further??
BUT, he is still very much interested in the Premier league too ... he's just not so interested in the domestic cup competitions. Rightly so, coz they're just nothing more than distractions ... only in the Scottish domestic scene, do you still see a clean sweep of league & double cup titles. Everywhere else in Europe, the level of competition has tightened just that much more.

Let me ask you this ... when you buy 4D - with a $10 bet, do you buy $2 big, $8 small or do you buy $8 big, $2 small?
There's really no right or wrong answer ... but if you had ever "hit" 1st, 2nd or 3rd prize before, do you still remember every other occasion you "touch" starter or consolation?
