It has been an eventful start to the season to say the least. We followed up the win at Villa Park with an important win at Toulouse in searing heat, drew with much STYLES with Chelsea and produced a workmanlike performance over Keano's Black Cats.
Our football is not perfect yet. I am sure as the season goes on, the performance and quality will improve as the team play more together. The one most important aspect we have improved on is our desire. The whole team seems to be fighting for every ball, fighting for everyone. The new signings have been immense. They may have not shown us their full array of skills yet but they have shown an abundance of enthusiam to fight for the Red cause. It's refreshing to see Torres, Voronin and Babel tracking back whenever the opposition gets the ball. As we used to say back in the 80's, our best defender was Ian Rush. Defending starts from the top and seeing stars like Torres willing to harass and track back whenever needed, it shows the immense character in the Liverpool squad this season.
Man Utd are stuttering, Chelsea may be leading the pack now but I am sure they will be looking over to see where we are and Arsenal will probably lose some ground if they play too beautiful football and yet struggle to score. I have always been a believer. But this time around, we have added a lot more steel into our resolve. It's refreshing to win matches when you are not at your best. That's what champions do. We have the look of it this season. Now, let's push on and makes things happen this season.
You'll Never Walk Alone! Keep the faith you Redmen! :0

Captain Fantastic
It was the moment that I have been waiting for. The start of the new EPL season. Every year I will start a season filled with optimism that we will eventually lift the trophy we last won in 1990 when I was barely 7 years old. Too many years have passed with taunts by MU and recently Chelsea. It is great to start afresh once more with real ammunition this time around.
The past 3 months has been hard for me. Losing someone I love was hard to bear but I guess both of us knew it was the best thing that we could do. I regret a lot of things but I also look forward to many other things to come. This EPL season in a way was more important to me. Maybe it makes me alive again, it makes me look forward to something during the weekends.
The match with Villa was not any showpiece. It was scrappy to say the least. They were adament on being tight in their defence with the Carew being their target man with the long balls and set pieces. It was a tough match at hand but we managed to get the breakthrough with an own goal thanks to good work by both Torres and Kuyt.
As I thought we were strolling to a clean sheet and the first win of the season, Carra was unlucky to have handled the ball. He was immensed throughout the match. I would say nobody would dare to blame Carra if we went on to draw the match but I can't help but feel a little deja vu. Away matches, dropped points, out of the title race early on. I really couldn't bear another season to come and go with only one match gone.
Then came Stevie G with the most audacious freekick I have seen in a long time. Curled it round a wall which consists of John Carew and made the ball dipped at the end to hit the back of the net. It was sheer joy. It was sheer ecstacy. It made my day. It made me smile. It made me cry. My life is rejuvaneted because of that. It may sound stupid but I needed that after losing my companion, losing my confidant.
Thank you Stevie G. Thank you! I was waiting for the EPL to start so bad and it started of in a good note. Bring on Chelsea next weekend. We shall whip their sorry @sses and show to the world we are true contenders this season.

I'm back! The EPL is back!
After a few months of hiatus from writing about my beloved Liverpool, I am back. I'm not sure whether my return to sanity has anything to do with the start of the new EPL season but I guess I am feeling much better after such a emotional few months.
Liverpool are back in business. We have bought well and bought quality. Welcome to Anfield, Torres, Babel, Benayoun and Voronin. You'll Never Walk Alone. I am not a fan of any particular player but whoever comes in, will be supported as a true Red!
We will be ready for MU, Chelsea and Arsenal. We will be there challenging for the title. I can't wait for Villa this Saturday. Bring it on!
