Liverpool's performance against Villa was awful. We had a good twenty minutes but after that we seemed to lose our way and I just felt things might go against us as the game started to settle. Villa were working hard to get us out of our rhythm and it was working well as many of our steady performers were having a hard time keeping hold of the ball.

Torres was given a torrid time by the defence and how the ref missed three clear fouls on him is beyond understanding. One of these was a clear elbow to the back of the head which was missed. These things change football matches and we have not been on the receiving end of much luck so far this season.

Start of the season.

Sorry about the delay in posting. As many of you know I went back to Liverpool with the wife, and two kids for a two week holiday. While I had a great time with family and friends I think most of you are more interested in the football that was on offer.

Hello Readers, sorry that it has been such a quiet summer for me. It has also been a quiet summer for Liverpool on the transfer front. Only one name of note has come into the fray with Glen Johnson to start the season at right back. At the time of writing Liverpool have sold our right-back of two years to Madrid but no one of note has moved on. The stories are that Alonso will be gone in a few days and that Dossena looks to be on his way out as well.

Liverpool's off season should have been easy for Rafa. He should've had a squad of happy players. He should have been looking making to look to make a couple of minor tweaks/improvements. The summer has turned to be anything but easy for Rafa and Liverpool. Both Alonso and to some extent Mascherano have been ruining the summer for Liverpool.
