Unimpressive Liverpool Draw With Fulham (Match Report PL)
Posted November 23, 2008 by manar8Categories: Match Reports
Liverpool 0 – 0 Fulham
Looking at the result, you’re thinking “darn!”. After being told that Arsenal lost their game, Chelsea drew their, and so did Man U, you’re thinking “*&!@”. In one way, it’s a good thing, since now Man U/Chelsea/Arsenal didn’t gain anything on Liverpool, but on the other hand, if Liverpool had won, they could have been sitting on top now. Chelsea and Man U aren’t gonna slip up too many times (Arsenal…are probably gonna slip up lots more), so when they do, Liverpool need to grab the bull by the horns and pull themselves top. Did they try to do that with th performance at Fulham?? Hmmm….well…i guess they sorta tried to do it. They didn’t have that awesome passing motion that they usually have had this season, many people crediting that to the absence of Alonso, who was on the bench. I thought that if Alonso started, he could have made a difference, but Benitez said that Alonso didn’t start because he was tired from international duty. So his place was taken by Lucas, who hasn’t been playing for awhile. In my opinion, Benitez should have started Alonso, because even if he’s tired, Alonso could have played 100 times better than Lucas did. Liverpool didn’t play badly though, just not as well as they usually play. Gerrard was missing from action, because of an injury, and maybe his presence was what was needed. Liverpool got few decent chances, but the ones that they got (like Keane one-on-one with the keeper) were wasted. Torres looked like he was trying hard, but sometimes you just need a bit of luck at the end, which Liverpool did not get. I’m not syaing Fulham deserved to lose, because they played very well. To come to Anfield and perform well is not something all teams can do, but they did it, and they even often scared Liverpool fans in front of Reina’s goal, with Bullard forcing a stretch from the keeper with one long range shot. All in all, could have been a better Liverpool performance. Rafa thinks it’s an opportunity missed, and Fulham boss Roy Hodgson is happy. Match Reports Here, Here, and Here (Fulham Perspective). Anyways…next up is Marseille

Torres
Torres said in an interview recently that he has plans to go back to Atletico in order to “take care of unfinished business”. Alright, it’s pretty acceptable, I mean, he was practically treated like a God there before he came to Liverpool last season. Good news for Liverpool fans, Torres has ruled out a transfer anytime soon. Still, none of us want him to ever leave, do we?
“I hope to experience many things still, but for me it (Atletico) is an exceptional club,” said Torres.
“I don’t know if I will retire there, but I would like to go back and finish some things that are left to do.
“When I was there I couldn’t do any more, but I would like to go back.”
He added: “Right now I have no plans to leave England. Not to Spain, not to Italy, not to another English club.”
Gerrard
Has anyone seen the “A Year In My Life” Documentary about LFC Captain Steven Gerrard. Well, I’m sure alot of you have seen it, but do you have it?. Okay, Okay, maybe alot of you have it, but for those of you who don’t…here’s some links!
It starts off with Gerrard getting ready for the 2006 World Cup, talks about his family, his friends, and obviously his football (Champions league and Premier League campaigns of the season). A Must Watch For Any Liverpool Fan.

Keane Gets To Open His Scoring Account In The Premier League, And Does So With Two Brilliant Goals.
The game was great to watch. Although Liverpool didn’t have a dominant start, everything else was. West Brom, with the likes of Ishmael Miller and Roman Bednar, challenged Pepe Reina only a few times. The main problem with WBA was their passing. They kept giving Liverpool the ball, and fortunately, Liverpool were able to use these chances. Goals from Keane came at the 34th minute and at the 43rd minute, while near the end, in the 93rd minute, Arbeloa added another (his second goal for Liverpool) to make the scoreline shine. This win brings Liverpool back on top, since Chelsea have not played their match yet. If Chelsea win, its back to being second for Liverpool. Watch/Read the reactions of the WBA Manager, Rafa, Brace-Man Robbie Keane, West-Brom Player Teixera. Match Reports Here, Here, Here, and Here (West Brom).

Ummmm……how do I start?
Well…I haven’t updated the blog in almost a month. Got sorta busy and then started procrastinating (like “i’ll do it tomorrow”).
Finally decided to stop procrastinating. I haven’t written about the last 5 matches. So let’s get down to business :
Atletico Madrid (First Leg…In Madrid)….Liverpool Draw And The Vincent Calderon
Match Report Here. Overall it was an exciting game, but Keane’s Goal did look to be offside, although Benayoun scored later (not offside, but was ruled to be). Atletico Scored twice in the game (both legitimate, but one was not given…again…offside).
Chelsea (Away At Stamford Bridge)……Liverpool Show Title Intent With Record-Breaking Win At The Bridge
Match Report Here. Awesome Game. Very Exciting. The Goal may have been lucky, but the result was not. Alonso got his goal via a Bosingwa deflection, but could have just as easily gotten a second one with an amazing free kick which hit the post. Overall a great game, and it ended Chelsea’s 86 unbeaten record at Stamford Bridge.
Portsmouth (Away at Fratton Park)……Liverpool Stay On Top After Gerrard Penalty
Match Report Here. Pretty boring game. Very few chances. LFC seemed to be not inspired (which seems so unlike the recent team attitude). Still, because of a penalty, taken by the captain, Liverpool stayed on top.
Tottenham (Away At White Hart Lane)……Liverpool Lose Top Spot.
Match Reports Here and Here. Frustrating Game for Liverpool fans. Not because of the result, but because of “what could and should have been”. Liverpool should have scored a few more goals, but were denied by the posts/bar. It seems that there are some new comeback kings in the Premier League, with the winner coming with only a few minutes to go. Chelsea won their game to gain top spot again.
Atletico Madrid (Second Leg…..At Anfield)……Gerrard Rescues A Point For Liverpool
Match Report Here. Was a pretty good game. Lots of missed chances (3 or 4 of them being Agger from corners or such). Should have been a Liverpool win, although that does not mean that Atetico played badly. They played very well. But Liverpool could have ended the game before Atletico got in their groove. In the end, Gerrard earned a penalty and rescued a point (In The End – 95th Minute). Some say that they didn’t deserve that penalty. Well be that as it may, Liverpool deserved 3 other penalties, but didn’t get them, so I guess it sorta balances out (oh wait, no it doesn’t!).
That’s It. Liverpool play West Brom Tonight. Stay Tuned For Updates.
