Jose Reina- super keeper

2007-06-15T08:04:00.000-07:00

A spanish who was born on August 31, 1982, with the height of 6' 1'' .
Reina, began his career with the Barcelona youth team in 1997.two years later he was a member of the Spain side which won the European Under-16 Championship.
He was handed his Barcelona debut in 2000 against Celta Vigo, aged only 18, but having failed to hold down a regular place in the first-team he joined Villarreal on loan in 2002.

The stopper was in supreme form as the club finished seventh and reached the last 32 of the UEFA Cup.
He made his Liverpool debut against Total Network Solutions in the 1st qualifying round for the 2005/06 UEFA Champions League.
He is seen as something of a spot-kick expert. In 2004/05 he saved seven of the nine penalties Villarreal conceded and would go on to be equally important for Liverpool in penalty situations.
He proved it again when Liverpool drew with Chelsea in Campion league semi final 2006/2007. They both ended up by penalty shoot out. Reina saves the days by saving 2 out of the penalty and bring Liverpool to final.
For me he is the important walls for Liverpool .To win a game , must make sure no goals conceded and forward scored the goals.
In 2006/2007 Premier League He played 35 games saves 143 times

Steven Gerrard

2007-06-15T07:44:00.000-07:00

The english primier league is finished so basically i felt bored in this month after the last games of champion league final.
Liverpool lose to milan when milan won by a lucky goal.
I will make a summary of the important player of Liverpool then maybe other player in other england player later.
I will start with steven Gerrard.
he is one of the best midfield in the world.Gerrard's tireless running, superb vision on the ball and ability to strike from distance make you the best midfield in England and Liverpool.
Gerrard made his Liverpool debut in a European tie during the 1998/99 season against Celta Vigo at Anfield.
He assured a midfield spot as his own during 1999/2000, placing then-captain Jamie Redknapp's future in doubt. A very versatile player, he also filled the right-back slot on a number of occasions during the 2000/01 season.
His superb stamina makes him run the whole games with a distance long shot make him the most fearful and the best midfield in England.
The midfielder was handed the Liverpool captaincy in October 2003 following a loss of form by Sami Hyypia.
Gerrard is simply of the the outstanding performers of the Premiership, a star of the European stage and the kind of player every team in the world would dreamed of.

He made his 325th club appearance in 2005/06.
His performance in 2006/2007
GP 36 | G 7 | A 8 (2006/07 Premier League)
GP: games played G-goals A:assists
I hoped his scored more for Liverpool

Why man utd win and chelsea lose this year

2007-05-06T10:29:00.000-07:00

based on bbc sports it is divided into 6 main factor.
first ,SOLID AT THE BACK
Chelsea are a brilliantly organised team who remain extremely difficult to break down.
they got 21 clean sheet compared to man u 15.
but chelsea over-stretched defensively - particularly in the centre.William Gallas and Robert Huth left the club last summer while John Terry, Ricardo Carvalho and Khalid Bouhlarouz have all missed games through injury.
Influential skipper Terry missed a crucial eight weeks of the season during December and January. And it is no coincidence that Chelsea conceded twice in each of the first four games Terry missed over the Christmas period.peter cech injury further worsening the condition.
For man utd ,Edwin van der Sar make a good keeper and Serbia defender Nemanja Vidic has also enjoyed a fine season in the centre of defence, with his no-nonsense defensive style complementing Rio Ferdinand's make man utd defence diff to break.

good middle
scoles returns after long injury with prtner carrick make flow of attacks supreme.
Micheal ballack failed to coordinate with lampard well. I think next year the partnership will be improve for chelsea.
WORKING OUT WIDE
United boss Ferguson understands the importance of width and in the evergreen Ryan Giggs has a veteran winger who is both consistent and potent plus the maturity of C.ronaldo makes them strong.
FINDING THE NET
drogba for chelsea with 19 goal proves that he already adapt to chelsea. but top scorer in milan Andriyi Shevchenko has endured a difficult first season in England. Maybe he will improve next year. Man utd got too many player who can score .it includes Louis Saha, Wayne Rooney, Henrik Larsson, Giggs and Ronaldo . so very difficult for defence to mark them.
HARMONY AND HEARSAY
relationship between Mourinho and Abramovich has been the subject of constant speculation.Abramovich is said to have favoured a more attacking style of play and wants to win the Champions League above all else.While man utd now in the hands of Grazer not interupt much on football management.
WINNING WAYS
United lost just one of their first 17 fixtures, drawing two and winning 14.

During the same period Chelsea lost two and drew three, winning 12 to give United a five-point lead.

Chelsea won nine straight games starting on 31 January - their longest winning streak of the season. United responded with seven consecutive victories of their own before losing to Portsmouth. but chelsea lose momentum by draw to new castle and bolton.

with the above factor, man utd win the title.
For me, Jose Mourinho is the good manager if abramovich not interrupt him . As a boss , you shouldn't buy player according to your interest but must based on manager preference. i think chelsea will be a hard shell if mourinho is giving the authority and shechenko will play a better game .

a 1-1 draw + champion for man utd

2007-05-06T10:20:00.000-07:00

a good games played by arsenal and a lot of superb save from lehmann secure a draw for arsenal.Chelsea found themselves a man and a goal down after Khalid Boularouz was sent off for fouling Julio Baptista. Gilberto Silva put away the penalty .Chelsea still manage to pull a equiliser with one man down by a header from essien. they failed to score a winnin g goal.
It means a champion for man utd. Boss Sir Alex Ferguson has won the Premiership nine times during his 21-year reign. A remarkable record for him. Although man utd loss 3-0 to milan. They still proved they are the strongest in primier league.

Liverpool meet chelsea

2007-04-24T09:55:00.000-07:00

Why liverpool also met in chelsea in play off . I failed to understand but i think Liverpool can won the games although liverpool is a underdog because benitez strategy works for against chelsea.
Hope liverpool make it.

Arsenal Drew 1-1 with middlesbrough

2006-09-10T00:58:00.000-07:00

Arsenal were forced to come from behind again at their new Emirates Stadium to rescue a point against Middlesbrough.
James Morrison curled in on 21 minutes after a one-two with Jason Euell - and keeper Mark Schwarzer kept Boro ahead with a number of fine saves.
But skipper George Boateng sent off on 64 minutes for two cautions and then Thierry Henry scored from the spot after Emanuel Eboue was fouled.
Arsenal poured forward after that but middlesbrough can withstood the intense pressure.
The result leaves Arsenal still searching for their first Premiership win of the season and was a world away from the 7-0 thrashing they handed Boro the last time they met in London.
Arsenal title race is going to ended early if other team remain winning

Cahill and Johnson crash Liverpool 3-0

2006-09-09T07:28:00.000-07:00

A totally unbelievable result . A poor defence at left flank of Liverpool let go the two goal in first half. A slow defence which cannot cope with the right wing of everton.A cross from right side with a close range finishing by Cahill gives Everton a lead at 23 minutes of first half.Johnson added a goal second 12 minutes later. A fumbled goalkeeping by Reina gives Johnson a goal at injury times second half. Few chance for Liverpool is wasted.
So a surprising lose for Liverpool.

Liverpool vs Everton Who will win?

2006-09-07T10:22:00.000-07:00

Everyone wonder who will win the game? I think Liverpool will win it not because I am Liverpool fan. Statistically, Crouch is on form scoring in every game in national level.Last season they won 3-1 for both games.Although Everton look sharp in this season . I don't see a lose to liverpool and a draw is a upset for Liverpool.
Guess it .The score will be 2-1

Arsenal thrill by losing the game.

2006-08-26T19:26:00.000-07:00

Another unpredictable result in early season for EPL which make EPL so fascinating.Arsenal lose to mnachester City 1-0.
Thanks to the penalty awarded due to Hoyte fouled on Sinclair,Mancheter city stay in front by a perfect finishing penalty by Barton. Henry missed two one on one chance with keeper Nicky Weaver and Robin Van persie strike hit the post.Gunners Toure header hit the crossbar at second half.
The truth is this is football . Playing well not means winning the game. To win is to score .this is the facts of the game.

Man Utd won against the watford

2006-08-26T10:14:00.000-07:00

Man Utd as expected won the game by 2-1
The game is dominated by Man utd. Man utd launch the attack again and again . At 12minutes,Silvestre had earlier finished off a brilliant move involving Giggs and Louis Saha to put United in front . Good finishing for silvestre from left penalty area right low with his left foot .
Watford didn't giving it up .They score a brilliant goal by damien francis from left goalbox left low with his right foot .
Man Utd take total control on second half.Ronaldo is clearly on form but his desperation for goal wasted many chance for higher lead. At 52 minutes,Ryan Giggs scores a good goal from centre penalty area right high with his right foot .It is contributed by the mistake of defenders who was robbed off the ball from their feet and the speed of Giggs that make it happen

Liverpool won it at last

2006-08-26T09:59:00.000-07:00

Liverpool won the games against West Ham with the score 2-1
Keeper Reina is at fault for letting in the goal at 12 minutes by misjudging Bobby Zamora's cross and compounding his error by pushing the ball into the net make the liverpool one goal behind.
Dane agger 's superb performance and score a goal at 42 minutes and Peter Crough for another goal at 45 minutes make the team came from behind and won it 2-1

tottenham will win aginst everton

2006-08-25T18:07:00.000-07:00

Everton will be without Alan Stubbs,but the Toffees will be boosted by Nunu Valente and David weir. Spurs won for past four games against everton in last two seasons. Football is not about the stat. With defoe and Keane , I don't think tottenham will face difficulty in penetration.

man utd should take the game

2006-08-25T18:00:00.000-07:00

today match between Man utd vs watford.
Manchester should safely get the three point at this game. At this season, Man utd go with big win for past two games. C. ronaldo on form , Saha playd well and good defence. I don't see they can't lose the game. A draw is a major upset.

Who will be the top scorer

2006-08-25T08:26:00.000-07:00

I think this year is between Henry and Shevchenko. Although chelsea lose the game against middlesbrough but i think he already shows his skills for scoring and proved that he can cope with the team . He shows us he is not only good in AC milan but also in EPL.
Henry as a great player in assisting and scoring is a great candidate for top scorer as the arsenal build around him.

Upcoming Liverpool game

2006-08-25T08:19:00.000-07:00

Will Liverpool win the game against West ham United at Anfield at 25/8/06?
At anfield against West Ham :
Liverpool 33 win West ham 3 wins 13 draws
I think Liverpool will won the game although it is a difficult game since liverpool not yet on fire.
But for liverpool to lose in Anfield ,i think is a upset if west ham won it.

Actually the whole EPL qualifier got good draw. Only the Rich Chelsea met their strongest rival barca but the other two team is screwed.
Liverpool only may face difficulty for eindhiven and cautious for galatasaray.
Man utd team only need to cautious for celtic but i think they can win.
Arsenal ,the runner up for champion league last year only cautious for porto
I think all 4 team will went to knockout stages.

Chelsea lose the game

2006-08-24T05:52:00.000-07:00

At Riverside stadium ,middlesbrough won 2-1 against a former EPL champion ,chelsea. Jose mourinho definely scratch his head. What have i done to make a best team for EPl? I got Ballack(not played),shevchenko,lampard but yet i lose.
Shevshenko scored in 16 minutes but Pogatetz scores a good goal - headed in from left penalty area left high with his head at 80 minutes and mark Viduka (Subs at 72 min )scores a good goal from right penalty area right low with his right foot at 90 minutes.

Liverpool drew again

2006-08-23T11:48:00.000-07:00

the macth against Maccabi Haifa for second leg of third qualifying match in Kiev on Tuesday, a 1-1 draw that put the 2005 European champions Liverpool through to the group stage 3-2 on aggregate.Sadness to say that liverpool drew again and sisoko was injured during the game and out for 2 weeks.Peter Crouch scores a good goal in 54 minutes but equalised by Roberto Colautti at 63 minutes and they defends all the way.
I hope liverpool will save the day.

Will liverpool cruise through

2006-08-22T08:51:00.000-07:00

Today Liverpool will went to Valeri Lobanovski Stadium to fight Maccabi haifa for second league third round qualifying which they lead 2-1 previously. They should be cautioned otherwise they will be lose the game or drew the game . In football ,never look down on a team . I believe Benitez will be careful about that.

Liverpool drew their first game

2006-08-22T08:19:00.000-07:00

What a surprise to me. Liverpool beat chelsea and won the charity shield this year but only manage to drew with Sheffield united . They play hard but sheffield got the early and good goal at 2nd half about 46 minutes by Rob Hulse( a good header). Liverpool is at shock and start attacking . At last they got a equiliser by a penalty. The old Liverpool hero Fowler saved the day by finishing the penalty at 70 minutes. A lot of controversial appeared for that penalty ,it seems that only a minimal contact to gerrald but for me it is fair penalty. Question appeared why liverpool play lousy in primier league but handsomely in champion league and league cup? It is too early to say from now.

Intro

2006-08-08T09:21:00.000-07:00

hi, I am a EPL fan since I very hard to sleep late because need to wake up early for work. I personally support LIverpool because it is a wonderful team . They won the Champion league as a underdog after 3 goals down against AC milan . This is all due to the spirit of not giving up particularly by Gerrald.
