Well let me settle in, won't you? Liverpool's Ukraine striker Andriy Voronin has swapped Merseyside for the Bundesliga with a season-long loan to Hertha Berlin. Click to continue reading...

Voronin Seals Loan Switch

1
Liverpool striker Andriy Voronin has agreed a one-year loan deal with German side Hertha Berlin, the Anfield club have announced.

The Ukraine international signed for Liverpool on a Bosman free transfer last summer and scored six goals in 27 appearances.

However, the impact of Fernando Torres restricted his first-team opportunities and Robbie Keane's arrival this summer forced him further down the pecking order, prompting the forward to move back to the Bundesliga, where he previously played for Bayer Leverkusen, Cologne, Mainz and Borussia Monchengladbach.

Rafa Gets Himself In Real Stew

2
Rafa Benitez will this week make an official approach to Middlesbrough for Stewart Downing.

The Reds boss had hoped Downing would remain on Merseyside for talks following Boro's 2-1 defeat at Anfield yesterday, but the winger's boss Gareth Southgate refused him permission.

Benitez is a huge fan of the England star and is prepared to meet the north-east side's £12 million valuation. Click to continue reading...

Voronin Pining For Anfield Exit

4
Andriy Voronin's days at Liverpool appear to be numbered following the Ukrainian striker's admission that his first-team prospects are non-existent.

Voronin has endured a less than stellar time of things since arriving at Anfield on a free transfer last summer.

Despite leap-frogging Peter Crouch in the pecking order last season - much to the bewilderment of many, it must be said - the 29-year-old failed to establish himself in the starting XI due to a combination of injury, poor form and the brilliance of Fernando Torres. Click to continue reading...

Gareth Barry Unhappy At Delay Over Liverpool Switch

2
Gareth Barry would consider pulling the plug on his prospective move to Liverpool from Aston Villa if the transfer is not resolved come the start of the Barclays Premier League season in eight days' time.

Barry is eager to join Liverpool, but the England midfield player is becoming increasingly concerned about the amount of time the deal is taking, after Villa paved the way for the move last weekend, and he is not willing to wait much longer. Click to continue reading...

Andriy Voronin had a second-half penalty saved but Liverpool maintained their unbeaten record so far in pre-season with a draw against Hertha Berlin.

In front of 51,641 fans in Berlin's Olympic Stadium, Liverpool's starting line-up included just three players who could consider themselves first choice come the start of the season.

Desperately in need of another striker?

1
Andrea Dossena yesterday made his long-awaited debut for Liverpool, who settled for a 1-1 draw in their friendly against Wisla Krakow.

Dossena arrived from Udinese earlier this month but had not yet featured due to some minor clearance problems. But the Italian defender finally took his bow in Krakow last night, lasting 60 minutes before being replaced by Argentine youngster Emiliano Insua. Click to continue reading...

Promise Of Pacheco Has Fringe Benefits

0
Twelve months ago in Grenchen, a Spanish forward took the first step towards making his name at Liverpool.

But, with Euro 2008 hero Fernando Torres on a richly-deserved vacation, last night it was the turn of a younger striking compatriot to command the headlines.

Daniel Pacheco has been earmarked as one to watch ever since Liverpool persuaded him to leave Barcelona. Click to continue reading...

2008-09 Liverpool schedule breakdown: How realistic are these previews?

0

So I was talking to my partner in crime, CSD, two weeks ago when I brought up the topic of a potential story idea discussing the 2008-09 schedule in great detail. After throwing out the idea, I quickly realized that most people, while they wouldn't mind a breakdown, would rather see how good we are at playing the role of the great prognosticator (at least I think so!

Reds boss Rafael Benitez handed new goalkeeper Diego Cavalieri the gloves for his debut, while fellow newcomer Philipp Degen was also in a first XI which included Spaniard Danny Pacheco but not Steven Gerrard, who was left on the bench. Click to continue reading...

Mark Lawrensen: Bringing In Goal Machine Must Be Top Of Agenda

1
With a month to go until the new Premier League season ask yourself this: As it stands, have Liverpool for the players that can score the goals to give them the title?

Personally, I don't think they have. My biggest bug-bear with Liverpool is that they need to realise it's okay to lose some games as long as you're trying to win them. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has admitted he wanted to keep Peter Crouch as the England striker prepares to complete his move to Portsmouth.

Crouch has completed a medical at Fratton Park and the finer points of his £11million move back to the south coast are almost complete with Pompey likely to formally confirm the move tomorrow. Click to continue reading...

Anfield Banter Awards for November

My player of the month was Sami Hyppiä. I'm so glad I disabled comments because I can only imagine the garbage spewing from the mouths of those who have their own opinion.

Euro-qualifying: A great day to be a Liverpool fan... well, almost.

5
I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. With the conclusion of today's matches, a large majority of our players who would normally be representing their countries in next year's Euro Championship, will now be getting the summer off. Like I've said prior, I don't give a rat's ass about international play, especially exhibition tournaments like the Euro and the World Cup. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool 0, Fulham 0: halftime thoughts

1
For the first ten minutes of this match, it appeared we didn't learn anything for the Besitkas match. Immediately we started lobbing the ball forward looking for a cheap goal instead of being patient, working hard, and trying to open up the Fulham defense. Thankfully we appeared to realize this and slowly worked our way back to playing intelligent football. Click to continue reading...

No big surprises except maybe Crouch not starting. I could care less, after his Marseilles performance he can rot on the bench until January and then sold. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool 1, Wigan 0: Yossi plays, we win

2
I wonder if we'll hear any nonsense about Yossi not starting today as to why we barely pulled this one off. Probably not, I figure the memory vacuum will take care of all the Rafa rotation bashing. Anyhow, on to the match.

Wigan should be commended for a well-played, well-executed game plan. We were really lucky to come away with three points as they were the better side and missed a couple of relatively easy opportunities in front of the net. Click to continue reading...

Liverpool 1, Wigan 0: the goal

Here's Yossi phenomenal goal earlier today. The Israeli saved us from another embarassing draw. If this doesn't work, I'll post another later, because I'm having trouble with this site. Cheers.

Liverpool 0, Wigan 0:halftime thoughts

1
Well, I missed the first ten minutes of the match, but from what I've seen we're dangerous to score, well, at least Torres is. If he doesn't score in the second half or at least set up a goal, I'll be surprised.

As a team we seem to play well in brief stretches, but for the most part look like a bunch of unfocused eight-year-olds waiting for ice cream. Click to continue reading...

Once again, Rafa isn't messing around. I wonder how Voronin feels about the rotation now and really don't care how Crouch feels. Click to continue reading...

Andriy Voronin's international career may be over

4

Well aside from Ukraine boss Oleg Blokhin taking some cheap shots at our boy, which I'll get to in a minute, Andriy Voronin, the bard arse striker we got on a free transfer from Leverkusen this past summer did not take kindly to his International manager's words late in his country's 2-1 loss to Italy yesterday. Voronin assessed the situation which led to a toe-to-toe confrontation by saying that his coach patronized him which was something that he as a man was not going to stand for.

2008 Euro Qualifying: Winners & Losers

8
Winner: Gareth Barry
In the shadow of a hobble-footed Steven Gerrard, the Aston Villa stepped up to set-up to goals and insure that England live to fight another day.

Loser: Portugal
With Christiano Ronaldo putting them up 2-1 in the 73rd minute, it looked as if the Portuguese were going to move into second in the group and cruise to qualification, but a 87th minute equalizer ruined their party. Click to continue reading...
