Sub Standard

0-0 last night and a terrible game. We were shit. Pepe was one of the few to take any credit out of the match by saving a peno. We
looked slow, sloppy and nervy. We can and will have to play much much better than that against Sunderland and in the second leg against Liege. This is Anfield continue their excellent Kop Star
series with a feature on Gerardo Bruna. The new Messi? Read it to find out but I'll give you a hint: probably
not. Reports in Germany suggest that we're after Dortmunds Polish right winger Jakub Blaszczykowski and we're going to bid €8m for him. I can't
say that I know much about him. Xabi played last night which surely means that he's staying now. Only a team outside the champions league would be interested in him now and there aren't too many
of those who could afford him. Looks like Barry deal is dead too. He played for Villa in the Uefa cup
tonight so I can't see him signing for us anytime before next summer. I reckon our business for the summer could be done as a result of this. The BBC give a run down of our new signings here. Will there be one more before the end of the window? There's been rumours of a Joe Cole bid this week. While I think he'd
be a good addition, I can't see a scenario where Chelsea would let him join us. As with most transfer stories in the summer, it's probably bullshit.Like this blog? Help spread the word:

The first half hour of the Sunderland match looked a lot like this one. Not a nice way to start the season. :(

You're right! We did look sloppy last night, and we need to improve vastly. I'm hoping it was just an one off, with it being the first competitive game, but if the performance like that is the same against Sunderland... I'm already worried! Nice post"
Thanks Danii. I'm hoping it was a one off. We have to remember that it was the equivalent of the champions league final for Liege.
