Liverpool exit no disaster
Thu Nov 26 12:44PM
At this stage of the season, I don't think it is a disaster for Liverpool to be knocked out of the Champions League. They will admit by their own standards it was a very disappointing campaign, but there is still time left in the campaign to recapture the form we…More

I think that Liverpool have a very good chance of winning at Debrecen. Even without Fernando Torres and Ryan Babel, the impact of a fit Steven Gerrard in the side will be massive. He always has the ability to spur on players around him and bring out the best in...More

I cannot say that I am overly confident looking at England's 2018 World Cup bid. From what I have seen in the media, it appears there are a number of nations ahead of us in the reckoning to host the tournament. From my first-hand experience of the game in this...More

I don't think Fabio Capello will have learned too much from the game against Brazil for two reasons. Firstly, we were without a number of first-choice players, and secondly, the climate made it very difficult. Thankfully, the weather should be a lot cooler at the World Cup in the South...More

My club team-mates who represent the Republic of Ireland Stephen Kelly and Damien Duff are both very excited about facing France in their World Cup play-off in Dublin.

Chelsea's win at the weekend was certainly important, but not pivotal at this stage of the season. It is always a major confidence boost when you manage to secure three points against one of your rivals and it puts Chelsea five points clear at the top. Manchester United have shown...More

It will be a difficult task going to Rome, against probably the most technically gifted team in our group on paper. Saying that, on the back of recent results - we went through the whole of October undefeated - we should have absolute confidence that we can go there and...More

A fantastic result at the weekend for Fulham was very much down to the team performance, as opposed to Liverpool playing poorly. In the first half, it was a fairly even game but they didn't create many opportunities against us which gave us confidence going in at the break. In the second half,...More

I am recovering really well from the knee injury I picked up against Hull City last week. Initially, I thought it was worse than it actually was but, with a thorough diagnosis, I am pushing hard to be fit for the Liverpool game this weekend as I really don't want...More

Liverpool tend to pull out big performances when the chips are down, and it was a fantastic effort to beat a strong Manchester United team on Sunday. It was considered a must-win game for the club and they went in surrounded by a huge amount of pressure. The result was great for them and great...More
