Former Liverpool star Xabi Alonso has backed his former manager Rafa Benítez to turn things around at Anfield. Alonso has seen his former team-mates fall off the pace in the Premier League since his summer departure to Real Madrid and Benítez has come under fire from supporters for his sale of the midfielder. "It’s not the Liverpool way to sack a manager after a few bad results...

Lisandro López 's goal with virtually the last kick of the game left Liverpool on the brink of elimination from the Champions League after a 1-1 draw in Olympique Lyon. Ryan Babel 's stunning goal seven minutes from time looked like giving Liverpool a precious win until Lisandro struck in the final minute to earn Lyon an unlikely point and secured their passage into the last 16.

It is now time for Liverpool to sack Benitez. I said at the time that it was a mistake giving him a new contract earlier in the year. Lets look at the facts - no trophy in the last 3 seasons, lost 6 out of last 8, no creativity in central midfield, not enough goals amongst the whole squad, zonal marking has never really worked, a poor record in the transfer market. This man is now severely damaging...

LONDON (AP) Liverpool's chances of progressing in the Champions League took a big hit Wednesday night when the five-time European champions conceded late to draw 1-1 at Lyon, which advanced to the next round. Liverpool looked to have secured victory when substitute Ryan Babel scored with 7 minutes left, but Lisandro took advantage of a defensive error to tie the score in the last minute and put the...

Looking at it again, it was probably one of the goals of the season. It all started with 4 headers in our penalty area. The quality of the video below is not so good but the goal was Kwality. The bottom video is of better quality (thanks to Irfaan) but it does not show the [...]

Oh dear, an equaliser in the 90th minute last night by Lyon could well have cost Liverpool dear. Lisandro Lopez’s dramatic late goal left Liverpool on the brink of elimination from the UEFA Champions League after a 1-1 draw in France. Ryan Babel’s strike seven minutes from time looked like giving Liverpool a precious win until [...]

From the comments of the last post: Anonymous said: I disagree about Babel. I'd much rather see him starting for Voronin rather than coming off the bench. Then bring in Aqua at the 70 min mark. Voronin just looks a half step slow in everything he does. At least Babel has the potential for moments of brilliance along with the mistakes. Voronin just gives you average plus mistakes. Don’t get me...

Liverpool was so close to victory yesterday in Lyon. After shutting out Les Gones for 83 minutes, a Ryan Babel wonder goal broke the deadlock, handing Rafa and the Reds a lifeline in Group E. A win against the French powerhouse would throw them back in the thick of things. But it was not to be, as Lisandro Lopez capitalized on some poor Liverpool defending to snatch a 1-1 draw that sealed Lyon's passage...

• 'Disgracefully we are not depending on ourselves' • Goalkeeper, however, encouraged by performance in Lyon Pepe Reina has said it is 'disgraceful' that Liverpool no longer have their Champions League destiny in their own hands following the 1-1 draw against Lyon . The Premier League side now have to win their final two games and hope the French side take something from their game at Fiorentina....

Ryan Babel’s superb strike in the 83th minute promised to be decisive against Olympique Lyon but Lisandro Lopez had other thoughts. His last gasp goal secured Lyon’s place in the next round while it minimized Liverpool’s chances on advancing to the Champions League’s last 16. Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez doesn’t fear the axe. The Reds have [...]

A kick in the stomach. There's no better way to describe a game where, with a squad decimated by injuries, Liverpool went to Lyon and totally dominated. With better finishing, the contest should have been over by half time and when Ryan Babel scored,

When Ryan Babel struck late in the second half my jaw dropped. The Flying Dutchman had scored one of the greatest goals of the campaign and it all seemed to be going peachy until the very end when joy and happiness turned into bitterness and anger. Lisandro simply barreled through our defense and scored the [...]

Bad luck continues to follow Rafael Benitez. When the much-criticised Ryan Babel scored a brilliant goal with just seven minutes of game time left, on most days in most seasons, the Pools probably would have taken 3 points at Anfield against Lyon. However, with the Pools experiencing a long streak of bad luck, it came [...]

Liverpool's late collapse in Lyon indicates their manager's ability to conjure life-affirming results is over As the ball exploded from Ryan Babel's right boot last night, it looked as though Liverpool were about to produce another of those improbable resurrections with which the reign of Rafael Benítez has been studded. Had the match finished there and then, this would have been a result to...
