Things starting to look good for Liverpool FC...

Hello dear reds from all around the world. I apologise for not having posted anything since quite some time. My time schedule wasn't permitting me to have a few minutes so I could share my views with you. Well, what do you all think about the Liverpool performance against Bolton? One more time we conceded a goal through a corner and that free kick could have gone in if it had not been for a bright Pepe Reina. No need to tell you who gave this free kick away....you've well guessed....it was Lucas! Frankly speaking, I find the man too weak to play in the Liverpool midfield. Actually, he's too weak to play anywhere on the pitch for Liverpool.

Thankfully, we did the most important thing vs Bolton. A thunderbolt from Steven Gerrard confirmed the win for Liverpool after a superb Johnson goal in the first half and a cool finish from Fernando Torres minutes after Bolton's man was red carded. Liverpool's duo again proved that they have what it takes to transform matches. I was really impressed by Glen Johnson who kept his stunning form. The ease with which he beats defenders and delivers those crosses are just what Liverpool have lacked since a long time. Johnson's ability to shoot as well makes him one of the best attacking RBs in the Premier League. It's no coincidence that he was named the best RB in the PL last season.

Moreover, Sotirios Kyrgiakos put in a fine performance. I was pretty impressed with the man since it was his debut in the Premier League. He seemed pretty cool on the ball. He's a bit slow but you need to have a look at his age. He looked good in the air and came close to scoring a goal against Bolton. So, for the price Liverpool have paid for him, I find the man a decent buy. More of his performances will surely let us have a clearer idea about the type of player he is.

Elsewhere, Gerrard scored twice yesterday for England as they cruised to a 5-1 win. This is a good sign, which means that the man is getting back to his top form. And it is always a pride to see a Liverpool player score when he is on International duty. Next match will see Liverpool welcome Burnley at Anfield on Saturday. The only setback is that Mascherano is still due to return to Melwood and he will be back only on Friday afternoon. Hence, he might not feature in the Burnley match. Good news is that Fabio Aurelio is back and fit for action. He can feature in Liverpool's midfield. I believe that he will be able to put a better performance than Lucas in this role. Aurelio is a key man for Liverpool, especially in free kicks and also with his experience and maturity.

Our man, Fernando Torres is featuring on the front cover of the PES 2010 game. He looks good alongside Messi on the cover. The Red shirt and the Liverpool badge makes me proud. He had to be there because at this moment in time, Torres is probably the best striker in the world. So, it makes sense to see him there. Well, let's sit back and wait for the Burnley match. I'm dying to see the redmen in action once again. I must say I don't feel good when Liverpool do not play on a particular week! Let's get behind the team for a great performance and await for a sensational Liverpool FC win.

Chelsea 0-1 Liverpool, fantastic Xabi seals the win to give Liverpool top spot

It was not much of a surprise when Liverpool beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge to claim a 1-0 victory that ended Chelsea's 86 unbeaten home games. Xabi Alonso gave Liverpool FC the lead when his deflected shot successfully found the net. Liverpool seemed too strong tactically for a quality Chelsea team. Pepe Reina hardly had an important save to make throughout the whole match. Though Chelsea had lots of possession, they were out of ideas. Every Liverpool player played for the shirt and worked their socks off to make Rafa Benitez's tactics outshine that of Scolari. It was their first encounter for the new season and Liverpool came out winners in style.

It was really pleasing to see a such determined Liverpool side. After years of watching Liverpool FC play, for the first time I'm starting to believe that we now have the players with the right mentality to win us the Premier League. Kuyt was once again outstanding. Gerrard was brilliant and Riera was absolutely a joy to watch. All in all the whole team showed character. Liverpool FC showed that they can win a match against a top side without their star striker Fernando Torres. Out due to injury, Torres must have undoubtedly wished he could play a part in Liverpool's win on Sunday.

It was a moment of jubilation to see Liverpool win and claim top spot in the PL table in style. Better was Man U's draw at Everton. 9th round cleared and 23 points already secured, Liverpool keep their momentum towards challenging for the holy grail. The win at Chelsea has unmistakably sent a message to every team in the PL: Liverpool are back in business. So, let's keep on watching. Belief is the key for our first PL trophy since 18 years. The PL 10th round will see Liverpool play Portsmouth at Anfield. 26 points after 10 matches would be the perfect start to a genuine title challenge.

Steven Gerrard- the name of a true legend

Once in a while there comes a player such as Steven Gerrard. He is a man who plays with passion for the red shirt. Everytime he steps on the pitch, it is with pride that he wears his number 8 shirt. Since his inception in the Liverpool first team squad, Stevie Gerrard has made a name for himself at Anfield. Steven Gerrard is arguably one of the most respected players in the Liverpool squad. His presence on the pitch gives a driving force to the team. His passes are excellent and has one hell of a right boot. Numerous had been the times when Stevie G has made us all happy with his goals. No Liverpool supporter can forget the winner he gave us thanks to his long range missile against West Ham in the FA Cup Finals at Cardiff. This day has already gone down in history as Steven Gerrard's day.

Steven Gerrard is undoubtedly an all rounder and certainly one of the best midfielders in the world. I have never seen such a complete player. He has pace, awareness, strength, power and most importantly a never say die attitude. His abilities were given more credentials and he gained even more respect when he captained Liverpool to an emphatic victory in the CL Finals at Istanbul in 2005. Throughout his career at Anfield and as senior player, Gerrard has amassed just about every trophy and medal, except the Premier League. It's unquestionable, Gerrard wants to have the PL trophy as a Liverpool player before he retires.

Aged nine, Liverpool discovered Gerrard as he was playing for Whiston Juniors at that time. Nobody knew that the very nine year old would grow to become a gem. After 8 years of training at LFC, Gerrard became ready for first team action and went on to sign his first contract as a professional footballer. On November 19, 1998, Gerrard made his first team appearance against Blackburn Rovers as a second half substitute. During his first season, Stevie G played around 13 games. Having endured ups and downs in his career due to injury problems, Gerrard managed to establish himself as a first team regular at the start of the 1999-00 season . His first ever professional goal came at Anfield against Sheffield Wednesday.

Since then Gerrard has progressed enormously as a player. He was once again the key player to a magnificent treble in the year 2001. It was the same year when Liverpool tasted European glory as they beat Alaves by 5-4 to claim the UEFA cup. Gerrard was one of the scorers and was voted PFA Young Player of the Year for his wonderful achievements. After years of striving on the pitch Gerrard was gradually handed the captain armband in place of Sami Hyypia. His achievements saw him become one of the nominees for the most respected Golden Ball Award. He as well gained the title of UEFA’s most valuable player.

Steven Gerrard has now 100 goals to his account as a Liverpool player. He scored his 100th goal in a Liverpool shirt against PSV Eindhoven in the 2008-09 CL group stages. He has also scored in 4 major finals, a feat that any other English player has yet to match. Gerrard has tasted lots of success at Anfield. But he has also known how to handle defeats. His optimism was clear after the 2-1 CL finals defeat at Athens when he penned a 4 year deal which will keep him at Anfield until 2011.

It would sadden me and every Liverpool faithful around the globe when Gerrard will part ways with Liverpool. Gerrard’s love affair with Liverpool had been a passionate one and will forever be remembered. As for Gerrard, he will unmistakably go down in history as one of Liverpool’s most legendary players.
