Big week for Liverpool FC
With two games gone since the 8-0 win over Besiktas & two clean sheets in those victories over Fulham & Newcastle you would suspect that things would be rosy at LFC towers this week in preparation for the must win game against Porto in the Champions League.
…but as with all things/people that look to be doing well, ultimately they get handled poorly by the daily rumour rags, that class themselves as Newspapers. Always aim to bring down a good thing, should be on their coat of arms & the rumours of rifts etc are shockingly bad journalism that we have all come to expect but should never buy into.
I know there is to be a big vocal show of support for Rafa at the game on Wednesday & I do hope the team on the night keeps up the momentum that has been building of late. As ever the team on the pitch should be the ones judged & it should be where all the talking is done.

My form from the last 5 now reads: DLDDD.
Gaining just two points from the last two games, I lie precariously in 10th place with a form of 3 straight draws. I need a 3 point correct scoreline from somewhere & I hope my 1-0 for the game against Porto is justified. Porto are top in their league with a 4 point lead over Benfica & I get the feeling that it will be a much tighter game than against either Newcastle or Fulham.
I would also hope to see a Crouch/Torres partnership from the start of the game, as Crouch knows how to find the net in CL matches & Torres needs more games to sharpen his finishing after coming back from injury. The foil of these two different types of forwards should benefit each other immeasurably.
