T here are players who pass through a football club, and there are players who become part of its emotional architecture. Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson belong to the second category. They did not merely play for Liverpool. They changed the temperature of Anfield, redefined standards, carried the club through one of its greatest modern eras, and helped turn Jürgen Klopp’s promise of “heavy metal football” into trophies, memories and history. Salah and Robertson arrived in the same summer of 2017. One came from Roma, still carrying the burden of being misunderstood after his earlier spell at Chelsea. The other arrived from Hull City, a relegated club, for a modest fee, after a journey that had taken him from Queen’s Park and Dundee United to the Premier League. Both arrived with questions around them. Both leave as Liverpool greats. Sky Sports described them as “two era-defining figures” who helped reshape Liverpool’s modern history, and that is not exaggeration.  The Trophies: A ...

dari ChangkatNingkeBTP Liverpool owner John W Henry says Roy Hodgson's style of football was not suited to the club and feels there was no better man than  Kenny Dalglish  to take them forwards. Under Hodgson, Liverpool endured their worst start to a season for almost 60 years and had been battling to stay clear of the relegation zone but, following the interim appointment of Dalglish, now look ready to challenge for a place in the top four. After two defeats and a draw in his first three games, Dalglish has overseen four successive victories including Sunday's  1-0 win at Chelsea , and Henry is delighted with the improvement in performances. "We wanted a 'caretaker', and we wanted to change the type of football we were playing," Henry said in the  Liverpool Echo . "We wanted it to be a more positive, 'pass and move' philosophy, which would help stabilise the club. "The team was playing in a way which wasn't suiting the club. It is ...

dari ChangkatNingkeBTP Its sickening. The battle of two pools : LIVERPOOL 1 BLACKPOOL 2. Liverpool FC in the relegation battle!!! What happen now? From Top 4 previously, now the Reds are bottom 4. To be exact Third From Bottom. To be more precise 18 from 20. Even Hodgson's former team Fulham is in the Top 10. At 9 is Blackpool. The other big 4? Chelsea at the top, Man U at 3rd and Arsenal at No. 4. As usual. The Premiership match after hopefully is not to be another black day. The irony is it will be the game against BLACKburn the 10th of Oct. . Before that against Napoli in the Europa League. Please woke up. This is going to be the worst season for the Reds. Its not good enough so far. So far sooooo good bye to Top 5, Europa League or even The Premiership status. A team comprises of Gerrard (captain of England), Torres & Pepe Reina (World Cup winners), Kuyt & Babbel (World Cup runners-up), Maxi (Argentinian star), Joe Cole, Glen Johnson & Carra of England, Poulsen o...

dari ChangkatNingkeBTP Mendan writes on LFC : Sunderland + beach ball 1 Poor Poor Livrpool 0. Sunderland don't need a striker to score. Even beach ball can patner Darren Bent and still score a goal (punt intended). Worst still, LFC got 7 extra minutes and still couldn't score. What next? Try to win cups? Since the League title have to wait for another painful year and MAN U can still grab their 19th title, RB surely had to win a cup or two. Based on the situation, its not a good one. League Cup against the free scoring Arsenal. Even their reserves managed the trounced LFC two seasons ago. Two games against rejuvenated Lyon in Champions League also mean that its a daunting tasks. Maybe LFC can aim for Europa League after eliminaton from the CL. FA Cup? 3rd round match against Man U is possible. What about against Villa, Chelsea or Sunderland? Now back to the game against Steve Bruce's Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. Its obvious that LFC squad is smaller than Villa. Spear...
