Meireles with an absolute screamer!

Technically outstanding full volley, and that makes us look a lot more comfortable than just the one.

Done and dusted, 65 goals up for Torres as well. 'Death by one thousand passes' from the comments man.

Very pleased with the game, Agger and Skrtel played well together, Kelly was outstanding again. Meireles was probably the key man for us, Lucas was quiet but effective when called upon at DM. When Gerrard gets back I would feel fairly confident about the starting XI.

And if we get another (very acheivable imo) result against Fulham on wednesday we will be well on our way back to where we belong.

Finally saw the strike from Meireles, what a beauty. Great passing to get goals, having goals like them are always encouraging.

This. Absolute hero. Telling the interviewer that he knows what 'Pool fans want etc. And the 'Torres of old' comment- "What, you mean last week?"  I love this man.
 
Great win, so nice to see us pressing and attacking. Meireles was outstanding, Torres is back, Kelly was good. Agger is boss.. Basically everyone played well, actually! And a cleansheet, wow! Away win...  happy days! Haven't got Suarez yet, but getting close. Charlie Adam would be okay too!

So Babel is staying now? What happened there? Couldn't agree on personal terms?

Babel's just agreed the Hoff deal. Good luck with the twitter and German rap scene. Maybe get some football in too ; -p

Suarez and Adam next...

Love it. Kenny and LFC not giving anything away. Things will get announced when the deal is done.

Also interesting to see Adam has handed in a transfer request. Not accepted by Blackpool of course but shows intent from the player to move. To Villa or LFC though??

all rumours i've seen suggest Adam wants a crack at the big time with you guys
be interesting to see how kenny would set up with charlie in there? Midfield three of meireles, gerrard and adam? too offensive-minded?
 
very good win for you lads on the weekend, things really are improving now
 
must admit, i thought you lads were only kidding yourselves with this 'kenny will save the day' attitude but turns out most of you knew what you were talking about... early days yet but looking good huh

Adam seems a strange decision to me....We have Lucas, Meireles, Poulsen, Gerrard, Spearing and Shelvey. I know some can play different positions but I wouldn't have thought Centre mid is an area that we need to strengthen in?
 
Things are looking up huh? with a probable (touch wood) 6 points from the next two games, we should be back in the mixer for 6th.

Fixed. Shelvey's only 18, lots of promise there.

I've worked out how it will be from Feb 1.

           Reina
Kelly Skrtl Agger Johnson
    Lucas      Adam
          Meireles
Gerrard        Suarez
           Torres

4-3-3.

Adam won't come unless you fork out more than he is worth, which you won't.

Blackpool were thinking that Adam would be worth about �12m. First Perennial strugglers Liverpool bid was �4.7m, I wonder if another bid will be put in. Not really sure how good Charlie Adam is, only seen him play a couple times.

And both those times were against us? Where he was outstanding? Hmm, Lucas with Raul and Adam either side, Stevie on the right, Suarez on the left, Torres up front... I like the sounds of it! Would rather have Adam than Poulsen/ Spearing. Keen to get Suarez too! Agreed, loving how nobody knows what is going on. Ahhh, I love actually looking forward to our games these days.

Another point that I've noticed with NESV is that they've been prepared to haggle. They've obviously pinpointed a number of players but they haven't (so far) gone for top dollar. Pretty sure they said they wouldn't over pay for players (relate that to Villa and Bent). We may get both, we may get neither but at least they're looking at players that are: a)World class b) not carlton cole and c) not in their 30's...

EDIT: and even if we don't get them now at least we know they're keen and can have another go in the summer.

Come on Reds!

Reina, Johnson, Kelly, Agger, Skrtel, Poulsen, Gerrard, Maxi, Meireles, Torres, Kuyt

Subs: Gulacsi, Cole, Pacheco, Aurelio, Ngog, Wilson, Shelvey.

Lucas out with minor strain or something. Youthful looking bench too. No Konch again.

A win will take us 7th! Yikes I might start to believe again.

Looks like Kenny is set on his back four which is nice

Morning all, good to see Gerrard straight back into the squad, hopefully he can make the impact we all expect. YNWA and all that, got to love Anfield.

Oof... rough call on that off side. Good to see Meireles having more of an understanding with Torres, and nando did finish it quite well even if it didn't count :p

Ok first half. A few chances for both sides that should have been taken.

Have to say I'm liking Johnson at left back. Could be because we've had nothing there all season but he's doing well.
