Liverpool held... again!

Another lacklustre displays from Liverpool at Riverside Stadium last Saturday. Liverpool's title ambitions suffered another blow when they were held to a 1-1 draw at Middlesbrough. Clearly, this season team's performance has deteriorated with the on-going saga behind the scene between Rafa and the owners.

Liverpool fell behind on the 26th minutes through Goerge Boateng's goal after a defensive error from Alvaro Arbeloa for heading the ball back across Liverpool's goal only for Jeremie Aliadiere to nodded into Boateng's path.

Boro has controlled majority of the match and almost scored the second goal when Downing rattled the post in 67th minutes. Luck was beginning to favour our side as four minutes later after Downing's shot was denied by the post, Torres fired a screamer from 25 yards that beats Schwarzer and went in off the post.

Liverpool piled on the pressures for the remains 20 minutes but their belated show of urgency has reap no reward. Drew in the last 4 matches in a row now and failed to capitalised on Gunners 1-1 draw to Birmingham, means we are still 12 points off Manchester United and Arsenal in the league with a game on hand.

Martin Skrtel passes medical

Liverpool search for a central defender ended with Martin Skrtel, a Slovakia international from Russia's Zenit St. Petersburg will be completing his formality later today after passing his medical at Melwood. Skrtel will become the most expensive defender in Liverpool history, he rumored to be cost around £6.5M and Rafa hopes he can travel with the team to Middlesbrough on Saturday.

The injury list at Anfield continues to plague Liverpool's defence as Fabio Aurelio is the latest casualty. Aurelio suffered a minor hamstring injury.

With Daniel Agger still continuing his rehabilitation from a broken metatarsal, Rafa has been short of cover at centre back for several months and was keen to add competition for places to such a crucial position.

I don't know how good is Martin Skrtel, but he's a towering defender at 6'4" tall will be good enough to cover the aging Hyypia, who being playing since Agger was injured.

Back on track

After a back-to-back defeats in the Premier League, Liverpool has revived their title bid with a 4-1 thumping of Portsmouth at Anfield last Saturday. The Reds still remains 10 points off the leader and have a game on hand. This hectic festive period are very crucial for Liverpool, nothing less than a 12 points out of 4 games are at stakes here.

Liverpool raced to a 2-nil lead in the first quater of the hour with goals from Yossi Benayoun (13th) and an own-goal by Sylvain Distin (16th) before Benjani pulled one back for Portsmouth in the 57th minutes. Fernando 'El Nino' Torres puts this match beyond Portsmouth with two late goals.

We conceded some terrible goals through poor defending but Torres is a a top striker, a fantastic player who is at another level. He is in a top-four team with a lot of good players who can tear you apart on the day.

Make no mistake, Liverpool can beat anybody on their day and the top four teams are at another level to everybody else in this division.

- Portsmouth manager, Harry Redknapp.
