Liverpool for sale?

WTF? Just barely 12 months after the takeover by the Americans and now The Yankees are looking for buyers. Is this just a piece of a sensational tabloid news or the truth? This piece of shit was written by Chris Bascombe for News of the World. Jurgen Klinsmann to replace Rafael Benitez? Can you believe this crap?

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.

Rotating into chaos

It's been a very frustrating month for all the Reds' fans. We've enjoyed the brilliant start to the league season only to slumped to some dismal performances since Liverpool thumped Derby County 6-nil. The press has blasted Rafa's rotation policy once again and as usual Rafa won't be bother with the sarcastic claims from the press to mess with his game plan. I never fully obliged to the rotations made by Rafa. Last season, I has stressed that Liverpool need to start with the best eleven and until today we haven't seen our beloved team play as a same unit for a succession of games.

I knew Rafa done brilliantly at Valencia with this tactic, I never doubted it but at Liverpool it was a different story. It's still too early to rest players, not until after Christmas I think. There are nothing wrong with rotating the squad but why change half of the squad when one or two necessary changes should be suffice? Why can't he just change one or two players instead of four to five players for the next games? The match against Marseille in Champions League saw Rafa started with Sebastion Leto, Momo Sissoko, Peter Crouch and Yossi Benayoun, clearly back-fires as Riise, Mascherano and Kuyt was rested. Losing 1-nil at home at a European cup night rarely happens but the confidence of the supporters has evaporates from The Kop that night with the lacklustre performance from The Reds.

We started well in the league, six points behind the leader and still unbeaten. I hope Rafa knows what he's doing, as it's clear that people at Liverpool or even the supporters around the globe are starting to get abit nervous. Rafa has a large squad this time around should be starting his strongest selection and let the others on the bench to fight for their places when a chance arose.

The next 10 days will be crucial for Rafa and his men in reds. This weekend some of the players are away on international duty and next Saturday comes the Merseyside's derby at Goodison Park. I hope Rafa can keep the same side and let them gel for a few games running to gain back their confidence. It was a bad motivation to the players as when you're playing well, the next game you'll be on the bench. Stop this treatment now or else we'll end up losing the star players by the next transfer window. Buck up or ship out!
