Debrecen vs Liverpool FC – UEFA Champions League

Liverpool FC are playing Debrecen tonight in the Champions League, and unfortunately, with our fate not anymore in our hands, we are unable to decide who goes through, and who goes out. Liverpool need a miracle to qualify, just like they needed a miracle against Olympiakos, but this is alot less ‘simpler’. If we beat Debrecen tonight, Lyon have the fate to decide who will qualify. If Lyon lose against Fioreinta, then that’s it for Liverpool. We only have the UEFA Cup to play for. On the other hand, If Lyon win in Italy, there is still a chance of qualifying if we beat Fiorienta at Anfield.

With Liverpool struggling also in the Premier League, this may be a season to forget for all Liverpool fans.

“Man City are way better than Liverpool”

“Liverpool are rubbish.”

“Liverpool won’t even make the Champions League”

These are things we have to turn around, and quick. Liverpool FC are one of the most successful teams  in the world, and if you told that to someone who only started to watch football from the start of the season right now, they would laugh.

Alberto could make debut tomorrow

 

Alberto Aquilani could make his home debut tomorrow.

The Italian midfielder won’t start against Birmingham, but is likely to be on the bench and could make his Anfield debut as a subsitute.

“His [Aquilani's] match fitness is still a problem,” said Rafael Benitez.

“We are hopeful of having some players fit and available so maybe he can wait and change the game if it’s necessary.

 

“We were controlling the game in Lyon and Lucas and Javier Mascherano were doing a very good job. When we scored we didn’t want to change the shape. Aquilani was better after his virus and could have played some part but hopefully now he will be better for Monday.”

Liverpool vs Debreceni

Liverpool F.C will start their Champions League campaign with a home match against Debreceni. The match will be held on Wednesday 16th September and kick off will be at 7:45 pm UK. Torres, Gerrard and Carragher are all fit to play, while Mashcerano will be back to Liverpool in time for the match. Benayoun could play because of his recent form in the Premeir League, and a hat-trick against Burnley on Saturday, in their 4-0 home win. Most people haven’t heard of Debreceni and Liverpool are expected to win.

Liverpools hardest opponents in the group stage will probably be French team Lyon, but with 2 places available to go through, most people will expect those 2 places to go to Liverpool and Lyon.

Match Details:

Date: 16th September (Wednesday)

Kick Off: 7:45 PM UK

TV: ITV 1 (or ITV 4), 7:30 UK

Why Stoke can Still make us pay

Stoke City. It’s fair to say they’re not in the same league as Liverpool, not in terms of the Premier League, but in terms of the way they play and their players. So Stoke, we should beat them every time we play them. We probably will beat them tonight, but don’t already start setting up your party before it finishes. In my opinion, Stoke are a very good team, and they can do well in big games if they try. You saw how Spurs outplayed us, and we’ve only had about 48 hours to improve. If  Stoke believe they have what it takes to play the way Spurs did, then they can beat us.

Rafa Benitez. Tactical genius? Not exactly. A great manager, very much agreed, but he needs to start playing more attacive football. So here is my line up:

Reina, Johnson, Agger, Carragher, Dossena, Kuyt, Gerrard, Mashcerano, Benayoun, Torres

It’s ashame Skrtel and Aqualini are out, but I like the way Agger plays more then Skrtel. He gets the ball up, shoots from nowhere, and can score. Remember last season? We hit the woodwork a couple of times, but the game finished 0-0. The game can’t be the same this time.

Liverpool F.C vs Stoke City

Liverpool will try and forget what happened on Sunday, as The Reds face Stoke City on Wednesday night. Rafa’s side started their campaign with a poor loss to Spurs, but hope to bounce back up with 3 points Wednesday night. Torres should start, despite limping early on in the Tottenham game. Carragher should start, and Skrtel is unknown. Also, will Riera start? For some reason, he was left out of the Tottenham game, and nothing was said about injury. Is this something to do with an unknown deal?

Liverpool are favourites by miles, despite drawing at home to Stoke last season. This is a chance for Liverpool to get back up there with the Big 4, (could soon be Big 5 with Man City), as they all won their games on the opening weekend of the Premier League. Liverpool have had only about 2 days to improve. Can they do it?

Update: Skrtel is out for about 2 weeks with a broken jaw.

LFC vs. Atletico Madrid

Liverpool F.C are set to play Atletico Madrid today at Anfield. It is set to start at 3:00PM in the U.K. You will not get to see new signing Aquilani play, as he is out for approx. 4-8 weeks. This is Liverpools last chance to prove themselves before the start of the season, when they play Tottenham next week on Sunday.

Liverpool last played Atletico Madrid at Anfield in a 1-1 draw, a dramatic last minute penalty from Steven Gerrard. Let’s hope this game is more exciting.

Man U only need 1 point

Arsenal travel to Old Trafford on Sautrday and Man. United only need 1 point to win the title. If they lose to Arsenal it is still very likely Manchester United will still win the Premier League for the third time in a row. Liverpool travel to West Brom on sunday with Gerrard and Torres fit to play and Xabi Alonso is likely to start against West Brom, who a fighting for a place in the Premier League next season, as they are currently 20th in the league.

Gerrard fit to play against Newcastle

Steven Gerrard is fit to play against Newcastle on Sunday after he has been training all week. The Reds play Newcastle at Anfield an LIverpool’s skipper is likely to play just behind Fernando Torres, which means Lucas will probably be ruled out for the game. Expect a good game from Benayoun, as he has been in outstanding form recently. I think final score 4-0 to the Reds, with Gerrard getting 2, Torres getting 1, and Benayoun scoring 1.
