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.

The Super 16

You may call it tough luck or whatever you want. But I was looking forward to this Champions League grudge match with Inter Milan. During the draw process, the candidates that are in the pot were Sevilla, Real Madrid, AC Milan and Inter Milan after Barcelona was drawn against Celtic earlier. I was hoping for a rematch against AC Milan, but we got Inter instead.

Liverpool and Inter Milan only met once in European competition, way back in 1964/65 semi-finals of the European Champion Clubs' Cup. Liverpool triumphing 3-1 in the first leg at Anfield only for Inter to overturn that deficit with a 3-0 victory in the return, going on to lift the trophy for the second time in their history. Liverpool have won four of their six home games against Italian opposition, including their last two, but have tasted success just once in six visits to Italian teams. Inter, may have won only three of their nine trips to England, yet two of those victories came in their last two visits, in impressive fashion, 4-1 at Newcastle United and 3-0 at Arsenal.

The Reds will entertain the Italian champions in the first-leg on Tuesday, February 19 while the second-leg in Italy will be played on Tuesday, March 11 2008. And here are the rest of the last 16 draws for this year Champions League.

• Celtic v Barcelona
• Lyon v Mancheater United
• Schalke 04 v Porto
• Liverpool v Inter Milan
• Roma v Real Madrid
• Arsenal v AC Milan
• Olympiacos v Chelsea
• Fenerbahce v Sevilla
  

All matches will be play on 19/20 February and the return leg on 4/5 March, except Inter Milan home match which will be play on 11 March (Inter and AC Milan ground sharing).

Back Rafa! Show your support now!

Liverpool supporters are completely united in being behind Rafa and some of the comments include:

Rafa Benitez is the best thing to have happened to Liverpool Football Club since the success of the 1980s. To sack him would be a grave mistake as he could walk into any major club of his choosing. Such is his talent.

If everyone genuinely wants the best for our club then there is no question that Rafa should stay.The future hasn’t looked as positive for LFC since the ’80s.

If you sack Rafa, you’ll lose the best manager in the world and half the squad will leave. You will destroy your own financial asset and the heritage of all Liverpool fans. Rafa’s only doing the best he can for the club. Please match his aspirations.

Listen Mr Hicks & Gillette, we really appreciate the investment so far, it has allowed us to compete again for the title. However, you have to back (not sack) Rafa Benitez because he is a top class manager & the fans love him.
