Posted by malteserinhk One game, one win, one clean sheet. A great start to the season. Now don’t get me wrong, I was as ecstatic as any Liverpool fan last week when Mignolet made the dream debut with a last minute penalty save, honestly I was. However, for this week I would have been happy for fans to be asking if Mignolet was even in goal. A nice easy week, where our front men clicked perfectly and our keeper got to sleep throughout the game.
Of course, the chances of that happening were unlikely given Aston Villa’s start to the season. Sure they lost to Chelsea and were given some very dubious decisions against Arsenal, but they had played well in both games, and, in Agbonlahor and Benteke, they have two strikers that are capable of causing trouble for any defense. Agbonlahor has the height and strength that is always a threat at set pieces and Benteke is on an astonishing period of goal scoring form. They’re also a fairly pacy side, and our ability to counter attack and break away would always have less chance of successful given that pace. So, would this be another nail biter, or would our attack start to click together? Would Coutinho’s quality finally be rewarded with a deluge of goals? Well, let’s see…..

Posted by malteserinhkSummer. That long period of time that football fans hate. When the league finishes and it is weeks before another ball is kicked competitively. Every two years it’s made worse due to there being no World Cup or European Championships to fill that gap. Well, as of yesterday, it’s finally over and the Barclays Premier League kicked off once again.
The setting for the curtain raiser just so happened to be Anfield this season. Liverpool would get the chance to kick of the season at home, and their opposition was Stoke. The glorious green carpet on the field, the red netting in the goals, the Kop End were all ready to start us off again. Liverpool had spent the summer bringing in a number of new purchases, and the question for most fans would be how those new purchases would fit into the squad, if at all. Stoke, however, had been ringing the changes from their end too. Gone was rugby aficionado Tony Pulis, and in his place came Mark Hughes. Would we see the same bullying Stoke from the last few seasons, or would we see a sudden change towards attacking football that Mark Hughes seems to favour? It promised to be an interesting curtain raiser, would it be exciting though? |
