Ah, maybe not after all. Kewell plays Olic onside for the 3-2. What on earth the manager was thinking playing him there is anyone's guess.

Didn't see the first half of the Gala game against Hamburg but saw the replay of Kewell's penalty. Rather strangely, Kewell has played the entire second half at centre back! If he were just a bit younger, Rafa might have been in for him.

I laughed at that Riera/Torres episode during the match. Cheer up lad, we're crushing them.

And that's another. Scored the only goal in the 1-0 win at home to Leverkusen today to keep them 4 clear of Bayern. Shot parried by the keeper but he chested in the rebound.

Thought that was as clear a pen as the one at the other end personally.

He's back on but still grimacing. Apparently he's going to carry on.

That's the groin gone.

He scored tonight. Obviously took the constructive criticism to heart.

Oh dear. Doss and Aurelio?

Suspect it'll be Insua and Aurelio down the left with Babel and Ngog vying for the spot up front if Torres doesn't make it.

Yep, report the offending sources. I did a couple of months ago and they responded and acted very promptly (others had reported the same sources apparently).

Don't think Lucas can complain really. He's just a foul machine. Still, at least he can't concede a peno from the showers.

17 league games and still no win for Bale...

Don't want to see that central midfield again. Distribution was abysmal. If Alonso isn't fit, Gerrard has to be moved back. Either that or replace Lucas with someone who can pass the ball forwards.

Crikey, Dirk's bulked out a bit!

Alonso Babel El Zahr

Keys: "So Kenny, Gerrard loves Liverpool but does Rafa love Gerrard?" Kenny: "I don't think there's going to be a divorce there. I mean you've asked the question so I've got to answer it but I don't think there's any indication... any foundation..." Keys: "You just get the impression though that he plays him because he has to and if he didn't have to then he wouldn't worry too much about it." Kenny: "He plays him because he's that good. If you want to win, you play your best players and he is the best player by the way." He then went on to talk about a couple of the big performances from Gerrard and touched on the Olympiacos goal and the way that Evertonian Andy Gray had screamed when that went in.

That Chelsea have three points fewer.

The things one can get booked for these days. Unbelievable.

Every time Lucas gets the ball, the pressure's off Portsmouth.

VdS for me. Brown couldn't do much about it after the ball was punched into his legs.
