Javier Mascherano is an enigma. He obviously has enjoyed playing for Liverpool and minus a few games at the start of last season he has always done the club proud. His performance against Arsenal was a perfect game for him to show that he is clearly one of the best defensive midfielders in the world. He had stated, prior to this game that he wanted to leave, but he still came out and performed brilliantly. As a matter of fact he was my man of the match in the game.

Liverpool were hammered on Monday by a clearly better side. Man City were better than Liverpool in every department (quicker, stronger, more agile and tactically). Our ridiculous idea to play a 4-4-2 with Ngog and Torres clearly did not work.

The gap between Man City and Liverpool has never been more evident than it was on Monday. I would expect them to be better than us after all the money they have spent in the last two transfer windows, however I thought we could and would still compete with them.

Well a battling Liverpool side took on Arsenal on the opening day of the season, in what was our first home opener in in 5 years. Of course we don't get a home banker like Chelsea or United, instead we get the best passers of the ball in the country. Once again a big thanks to the league in throwing that one together.

Well we have more stories in the news about a possible takeover of LFC, this time it’s an investor from China. Frankly I'm somewhat numb to all of this news as we ‘ve been down this road several times before and nothing has come out of it, except that Hicks and Gillette have remained in charge.
