8-0!

What a night to come up with the goals against a woeful Besiktas team, Liverpool played the ball around the park with ease & Yossi Benayoun was a revelation on the right. Pennant will have a big fight on his hands, when he is fit, to get his place back.

I cannot remember a tackle being made against any Liverpool player all night. One of the commentators on ITV summed up the Besiktas team as, ‘anaemic’ & ‘the politest team to have played at Anfield’.

Shame I had only gone with a 2-1 score line in my prediction league & it cost me with a -6 goal difference in just one game. With a -29 goal difference I am struggling to hold my place in the top ten and really need to string some results together.

Prediction

Fulham this Saturday & it’s a late, 5.15pm GMT kick off. I original made a 3-0 prediction for this game but as more than 12 members of the league have this scoreline, I have changed it to 3-1. Liverpool in the PL have made it difficult for themselves & I feel a goal will go against them in this game.

3 goals at home seems a good level to balance goal difference. It’s unlikely Liverpool will get close to 8 again and either side of 3 seems plausible & will not cause my goal difference to become even more in the negative.

Besiktas v Liverpool FC

With the Champions League game for Liverpool tonight being played out in Turkey against the unknown quality of Besiktas, I thought to look back to see when I last posted about Liverpool’s current season…

…it’s been a few months, ahem.

In that time I had the luxury of watching a very poor performance by Liverpool in the Champions League against Marseille. Tonight I am at home & do not have the luxury of watching the game live, nope I don’t pay for the overpriced Sky Sports. Instead it will have to be via good old fashioned radio. I just prey this game becomes the kick up the arse Liverpool needs before the festive season looms.

The win against Everton at the weekend convinced me that Liverpool are struggling to be the balanced team like the Arsenal seem to have mastered. So with Arsenal visiting Anfield this coming weekend, a positive game tonight is surely needed.

I commented in a LFC forum recently that Liverpool need to beat Everton & at least get one win, one draw against Arsenal & Manchester Utd. Most Arsenal fans at work are convinced that their team has the measure of Liverpool but we’ll see.

Prediction

My Prediction for tonight’s game?
