Pepe Reina - worth his weight in beer

5
Party of Liverpool goalie's house The Spain national football team's sponsor, lager Cruzcampo, promised every member of the squad their weight in beer if they made it past the quarter finals of Euro 2008.

Why won't Reina wear Number One?

4
Okay, this really isn't that important. But I've been thinking and I'm a little bit puzzled why Pepe Reina hasn't taken the number one shirt since Jerzy 'Wobbelaar' Dudek left Anfield to join Real Madrid. We've had some wonderful goalkeepers... Click to continue reading...

Super Torres hands Liverpool all three points

0
Liverpool overcame local rivals Everton to go top of the Premier League table. Everton finished the game with ten men after Tim Cahill was shown a straight red for a challenge on Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso.

Liverpool keeper Jose Pepe Reina didn't have one save to make all game and in truth the result never looked in doubt once Fernando Torres scored his first goal since the first game of the season. Click to continue reading...

Good Game Bad Game [vs Olympique Marseilles]

0
A draw would have been enough, so a win is quite and added bonus. Liverpool played well trying to exploit the gaps left as Marseilles pressed forward but the tiredness from last Saturday showed. Marseilles, on their part, were very good and had they scored an equalizer no one would have complained. Their attacking play was full of inventiveness and nice flicks but, fortunately for us, they were unable to get that final touch right. Click to continue reading...

I am not used to Liverpool setting up shop to come away with a point on the road, and I'm not happy about it. Without Gerrard and with Torres going off after 26 minutes thanks to an injury, Liverpool were without invention and rarely looking like getting a goal. Click to continue reading...

The Wednesday Wrap: Lucky, lucky Liverpool

Though we were not impressed with Liverpool coming into the season (a view that was not exactly expunged by their first few performances on the pitch), we didn't think qualifying for the Champions League would be anywhere near this difficult.

These games are not doing my heart any good. Four games into the season, and the earliest goal Liverpool's scored has come in the 83rd minute. And Kuyt striking the winner after suffering a ton of stick makes it even sweeter. Click to continue reading...

Torres Summons Lightning Strike

1
Fabio Capello believes Fernando Torres is the best striker in the world, though he did not look it here. He did sink Sunderland and claim three opening-day points Liverpool barely deserved with a wonder goal seven minutes from time, however, and that is all anyone can ask of a world-class striker.

To the enviable talents fully displayed last season and in the European Championships in the summer can now be added the knack of appearing to sleepwalk through a game before bursting into life with one decisive moment. Click to continue reading...

What can be taken out of these games are indications and sensations on the overall ability of a team, what their potential is for the coming season. Click to continue reading...
