    Top 100 Goals of the Decade: #87 Andrea Dossena @ Manchester United 2008-2009

    At #87, our not-often-used left back Andrea Dossena produced a stunning lob in the famous 4-1 victory at Manchester United in 2008-2009 from 30 yards out and with the most sublime technique. Andrea Dossena “enjoyed” a short spell at Liverpool, spending 1 1/2 years with us on the bench. As it turned out though, Dossena would [...]

    Have we forgot how to draw?

    Last season all we heard from fans and the media a like was Liverpool have drew too many games. This season is a different story. If we end up loosing a few more games but secure less draws we could end up better than last season. I know it sounds stupid but if we loose 1 [...]

    5) Yossi Benayoun Benni was brilliant in 2009, scoring late winners, important goals, and being a general pain in the ass to the opposition no matter what the occasion. His contribution to the title challenge was perhaps stronger than anyone else’s in the side, and he essentially forced Rafa to choose between him and Riera… which [...]

    Signings and Departures Review 2008/2009

    Signings: The big story in the summer of 2008-2009 was Robbie Keane. Rafa’s courtship with Gareth Barry had been stealing the headlines, but as that didn’t happen, Keane came in. The fears of many of the supporters, which turned out to be spot-on, was that Keane wasn’t a goal scorer and wasn’t “class” enough for us. [...]

    TOP 10 MOST IMPORTANT GOALS 10) Torres @ Portsmouth A 3-2 away victory over Portsmouth in the league doesn’t sound that important on the face of things, but this match was hugely important in recovering our best form. Down 2-1, Dirk Kuyt salvaged a point to make the scores level at 2-2 on 85 minutes. A few [...]

    TOP 10 BEST GOALS 10) Torres @ Sunderland Scoreline, 0-0. Opening day. The Reds (or “grays” on the day) were having a shocker, and then up-stepped our own attacking powderkeg, Fernando Torres. With just one moment of class, Torres was able to jink the ball in front of him, have a rip and strike gold into the [...]

    5) Kuyt saves our bacon! 1-0 win over Standard Liege. In the past few seasons, Liverpool have had to qualify for the Champions League via the qualification stages. Often times, we have breezed through these matches with relative ease, buffing the statistics of Gerrard, Kuyt, Cisse, Crouch, etc. In 2008-2009, however, a completely different scenario had [...]

    History: 2008-2009 Season Review

    2008/2009 SEASON Review From the time I began watching the mighty Reds in the season of 1998-1999, and a year later being a supporter of them, I never dreamt that we would ACTUALLY be challenging for a title. In the majority of seasons, Liverpool have finished in between fourth and fifth, with a few thirds thrown [...]
