Blogging Break For LiverpoolAccess.com

There’s going to be a blogging break for LiverpoolAccess.com. Given commitments elsewhere throughout the week and weekend I’m finding it hard to make time for the sports blogging so I’m putting Liverpool Access on hiatus for a few weeks. We’ve had a good run of results against West Ham and Newcastle and this week and hopefully ...

All Smiles As Liverpool Beat Inter
2008-02-19 23:13:00
From a disasterous weekend in the FA Cup to a brilliant European night at Anfield, Liverpool have managed to turn things around again and have beaten Inter Milan tonight 2-0. Funny enough… two of us were chatting in the car earlier about the match tonight, giving the forecast. Pre-game I had figured it would be either ...

Stalemate At Stamford Bridge As Liverpool Draw
2008-02-10 18:59:00
Liverpool walk away from Stamford Bridge this evening with a point, pushing us back into 5th in the table, but the lads should be kicking themselves for not taking all three points. The fact is, Liverpool were the better side today. Chelsea know it. The Chelsea fans know it. The Liverpool fans know it and, but for for lack of finishing, it could have been 1-0 or 2-0 to Liverpool. Chances were plentiful for Peter Crouch in the first half but he couldn’t make anything of them. Try and all as they did in the first half and second half, Liverpool couldn’t put the ball in the back of the net. More annoyingly so, the side looked good in defence as well, shutting down Chelsea at every opportunity, Pepe Reina remaining relatively untroubled throughout the game. Lucas looked well in the middle of the park alongside Mascherano and Rafa’s pairing of Martin Skrtel and Jamie Carragher in the the centre of defence continues to bloom with Skrtel passing each test shown to him tod...

64 minutes or so gone in today’s game and still no score. John Arne Riise has been booked in the last few minutes and Avram Grant has brought on Florent Malouda, Joe Cole switching out to the right. It also looks like Jermaine Pennant could be introduced for Live rpool . ShareThis

Live: Chelsea 0 - 0 Liverpool (Half Time)
2008-02-10 17:55:00
It’s gone half time at Stamford Bridge and the scoreline will tell you the two sides are still deadlocked. Peter Crouch has had an absolute string of chances but has failed to convert any of them so far. With the absence of Torres and Voronin, he’s going to need to up his game in the second half or work on providing more opportunities for the likes of Babel and Kuyt and Chelsea plot against Crouch for the second half. Overall, Live rpool have been the stronger side in the first half, just about, but you can’t write off Chelsea by any means. They have been a bit less aggressive that you’d expect, both Joe Cole and Frank Lampard keeping an eye on their challenges as a booking for either writes them out of the League Cup Final. Defensively, Liverpool have done well in shutting down the Chelsea attack but going forward I’d still like to see Kuyt coming out of that right position more and having a crack up front, seal up that goal drought of his.

Reaching the halfway mark at Stamford Bridge and it’s still level pegging. Peter Crouch has had one or two good chances land his way but couldn’t make anything of them so far. Juliano Belletti is already on a yellow card for Chelsea , three minutes in for intentional hand ball but for the moment anyway, Live rpool looking steady. ShareThis

No Torres For Chelsea

Fernando Torres has been ruled out of the Chelsea clash this weekend after picking up a hamstring injury in action against France last night.

Gerrard Named England Skipper

Could this be a sign of things to come for the Liverpool captain? Fabio Capello has announced Steven Gerrard as England skipper for this week’s England friendly against Euro 2008 co-hosts Switzerland. You think Capello would have named John Terry as captain if Terry was available, continuing on from Steve McClaren’s choice? Hopefully it is a sign ...

As much as I hate to see Sunderland lose under Roy Keane, I’m delighted that Liverpool stuffed three goals past them yesterday. Anything less than a win would have been a disaster.

Peter Crouch grabs his first of the game, Live rpool’s fifth, and his seventh of the season, Stevie G helping out in the process as Liverpool wrap up the job at Anfield.

Yossi Benayoun strikes again… didn’t take long for that did it? Benayoun bags his third of the game and now tenth of the season and the flood gates have opened at Anfield.
