So, Liverpool played Sunderland away today. A somewhat easy game for us in the previews so there was a slight pressure.

We started with the following 1st eleven:
Reina
Finnan – Carragher – Hyypiä – Arbeloa
Pennant – Alonso – Sissoko – Babel
Voronin – Torres

With the subs being Itadje, Agger, Mascherano, Riise and Kuyt. So pretty decent squad on the pitch again.

Game started with bad news when Murphy collided with Hyypiä with Sami hitting his nose on Murphy’s shoulder. Plenty of blood started floating from his nose and he was substituted eventually 10 minutes later. He got a fracture in his nosebone now, but I hope it doesn’t keep him away for too long as Carra got a hit on his rib and had to be taken off the pitch. Arbeloa took his place in the middle and Riise was put on the
left side.

We got the game going with Sissoko’s shot from 20 meters from Voronin’s pass. Great shot in low corner left no chance to Gordon who played very good today. Another goal was created after Pennant and Babel played well together on the right side with Babel passing the ball in the middle to Torres who passed it on to Voronin who shot the ball to lower right corner.

So a great 0-2 victory for Liverpool and we got 7 points from our 3 games so far. Man City lost to Arsenal today with Fabregas’ goal around the 80th minute.
Chelsea also won against Portsmouth with Lampard’s goal.

Now tomorrow we will have Man Utd versus Tottenham at Old Trafford which
should be a thriller, but don’t forget the Middlesbrough – Newcastle
game either!

I’ll be brief with this…

Joonas Kolkka, Jonatan Johansson and Mika Nurmela. 32, 32 and 35 year olds…

Propably the most over-rated players in the Finnish national team. These guys have been forming the base for our team for years now and I honestly think it’s time for a change. We have plenty of young players to replace these guys such as Tomi Petrescu, Mikko Manninen and Daniel Sjölund. I just don’t see why even Hodgson is rotating these players in the squad instead of giving our youngsters some valuable experience.

Nurmela and Kolkka are pretty much the same. The played around Europe for years. They both play the same way, at least close. They both hug the sideline, are not versatile enough and tend to be inconsistent. Johansson used to be really good while he was playing in Glasgow Rangers. But now he just sucks balls. His finishing is pathetic, technique…I don’t know if he has any. His game vision is okay at times, but usually he’s the one blowing up the chance for a decent attack.

So Hodgson… Time for a change?

Liverpool played a draw against Chelsea on Sunday. Not much to say, but
I’m glad Torres scored on his home debut. Biggest and strongest word,
written S-H-I-T-H-O-L-E, is dedicated to referee Rob Styles. That
cocksuckin jackass can’t see an offside even if he had a ruler in his
hand with video replay! Damn I hate that guy… Blind bastard. Apart
from that, we’re doing fine. 0-1 victory against Toulouse in France and
1-2 win against Aston Villa a bit over a week ago in league.
