Wonderful Week for Liverpool

Liverpool maintained their one point lead at the top of the BPL table by beating Blackburn 3-1 at Ewood Park.

The scoreline did not reflect the whole story. Liverpool were made to work hard by a Blackburn side in deep trouble.

The first hafl saw Liverpool failing to get the foothold of the game and ended 0-0. It was the second half when Xavi Alonso opened the floodgate. With Torres out for another few weeks or so, one would wonder where the goals would come especially when Keane is struggling to find the net on a regular basis.

Wanted away Benayoun scored Liverpool second with a superb piece of skill. Santa Cruz gave Blackburn hope before Gerrard sealed the game with Liverpool third.

I would like Rafa to give Benayoun more playing time especially Liverpool fail to find the net against Fulham and West Ham. The former Hammer will provide extra craft and vision to create goals for Liverpool with the loss of Torres.

=====================================================================================
A second string Liverpool side produced a positive display at PSV to top the group knocking off Athletico Madrid.

Goals from Babel, Riera and Ngog was enough to see of PSV 3-1 after trailing a goal down.





With the victory, Liverpool have the advantage of playing the second leg of the knockout stage at home.

It was rather perfect 4 days for the Reds having scored 6 goals in 2 away games.

This will certainly give Rafa's team the confident of challenging for honours for both front.


With Hull coming to Anfield this weekend, Liverpool will ill afford another 0-0 soreline against the Tigers. This is an ideal chance for Liverpool to pull further from Man Utd who travel to White Hart Lane to face in form Spurs. Spurs may just nick something from that game.

It all remain to be seen if Liverpool can carry the great form into this weekend game before they face Arsenal at the Emirates next week.
