Liverpool's first game under new ownership ended in a comprehensive 2-0 Merseyside derby defeat to Everton at Goodison Park. More
90+5' There's the final whistle! A disappointing start for the new regime at Liverpool as they fall to a deserved defeat at Goodison!
88' Torres has been booked - I must confessed I did not see what for.
87' TORRES!! Chests the ball down on the left and fires a low shot that Howard palms to safety! A good chance by his standards.
84' Last change for Liverpool - Jovanovic on for Maxi Rodriguez.
79' Ryan Babel on for Joe Cole.
78' Big penalty shout for a challenge on Beckford! But referee Webb says no foul! And the replay shows he gets it right.
76' Yellow card Beckford, who slides through the back of Skrtel.
74' A limping Mikel Arteta makes way for Jermaine Beckford. Presumably Cahill will shift back to a conventional midfield role.
72' Now an Everton change, as Tony Hibbert replaces Heitinga. They take their time over it, naturally.
71' Liverpool's top scorer David Ngog comes on for Lucas. Might as well get some more bodies forward.
50' GOOOAAALLL!!! MIKEL ARTETA MAKES IT TWO!! Kyrgiakos clears a corner to the unmarked Arteta at the edge of the box, who lashes a swerving shot past the unsighted Reina.
46' Half-time change: Diniyar Bilyaletdinov replaces Leon Osman.
45+3' That's half-time, and Everton take a deserved lead into the break.
39' Osman goes off, possibly not to return, as Arteta's corner is defender easily.
34' GOOOAAALLL!!! TIM CAHILL SMASHES IT INTO THE ROOF OF THE NET!! Coleman dribbles down the right, cuts it back and Cahill smashes the bobbling ball past Reina from eight yards. Brilliantly clean strike.
31' Now Meireles is booked for holding back Yakubu. The Liverpool man claims Yakubu put his hand in his face.
30' Oh, actually, the replay shows Cahill kicked Gerrard as her ran away from him. Spot on from Webb. Who'd be a ref?
28' YAKUBU!! Clean, low strike from the edge of the box, but Reina dives low to his right to make a relatively comfortable save.
23' TORRES!!! Cole with an inswinging cross from the left, Torres glances a header goalwards and Howard tips over!
19' First booking to Maxi Rodriguez for a sliding challenge on Baines. By no means the worst tackle we have seen today.
14' All Everton so far, and Phil Neville thumps a long free-kick into the box. Away by Kyrgiakos but back with the blue shirts. Played into the box and controlled by Distin who turns and SHOOTS!! OVER! Centre-back's finish etc. II.
12' Arteta strikes the free-kick into the wall, Osman plays it back into the box and the ball breaks for JAGIELKA!! Blazes a wild shot into the crowd. Centre-back's finish etc.
1' Game on! Liverpool kick off, playing from right to left as we see it. The Goodison Park pitch is bathed in sunshine, and both teams are in their iconic home colours. The stage set perfectly.
87' TORRES!! Chests the ball down on the left and fires a low shot that Howard palms to safety! A good chance by his standards.
78' Big penalty shout for a challenge on Beckford! But referee Webb says no foul! And the replay shows he gets it right.
50' GOOOAAALLL!!! MIKEL ARTETA MAKES IT TWO!! Kyrgiakos clears a corner to the unmarked Arteta at the edge of the box, who lashes a swerving shot past the unsighted Reina.

Back in 1969 a band called The Glass Menagerie released a song which should be played at Anfield these days.
It's title?
"HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN WHO YOU ARE?"

liverpool are in tatters

k.miyu winner

omg...2nd from a bottom...
1st...change hodgson...he really not capable to handling a big club like liverpool...
2nd...who ever doesnt want to play with the team can leave from this club...
3rd..start buy a new player to replace a player like konchesky,lucas,jovanovic,krgyiakos,ngog,jones...
reall y hate to see LFC like this...

liverpool must buy new players with new owners coming..very very bad i cant see liverpool going in relegation zone they were a best team ever!!! lack of defence n midfield..n 1 more most promising strikers alongside with torres will solve liverpool's problem..

This is the last straw either Hodgson starts making changes or it may be time for him to go. Martin O'Neill is still available.
Some players are just not up to Liverpool's standard. Kyrgiakos, Lucas, Babel and Rodriquez should all be let go. Give some of the youngsters a chance. Ayala for example is so much better than Kyrgiakos as a central defender. Recall him from the loan deal.
A possible formation change would be to try Gerrard at left wing, Joe Cole in a central attacking role just behind Torres, and Glen Johnson at right wing. The only hole would then be to find a rightback. Carragher can remain as a stop gap solution, or give Martin Kelly a shot. Konchesky at left back , leaving a central pairing of either, Skrtel, Agger, Ayala or Danny Wilson. And what the hell is happening to Aurelio? Still injured I suppose. Should have kept Insua instead of re-signing Fabio. Finally Mereiles and Paulsen at central midfield. Or get rid of one of them to play 4-3-3 with Ngog partnering Torres up front.
For all his strenghts, Glen Johnson is not a good enough right back. Better suited at right midfield so that he can continue to provide crosses and maraud down the right as well as provide defensive cover. Everyone talks about Alonso leaving but the other big loss in the same year was Arbeloa who provided much better defensive cover at right back.

we are doing as bad as manure minor we got better players

Please , can someone in tell the liverpool camp ,they have not won the premier league in 20 @#$% years, And these bunch of yanks that as come in ,won't @#$% change that

now we got new owners its time we got a new manager hodgeson just aint got it he should go before it gets any worse, i gonna place bet see what odd we have on going down @ end of the season lol how @#$% are lfc now - shanks would be spitting fire by now no bloody passion left - time to cut our losses, i even begining ...to think that going into administration would have been better for us then we would a have an excuse at the end of the season we were relegated ? shameful & what a goal scored by aqaularni today bloody brill. i am so disapointed think i start suportin acrinton stanley or tranmere lol

Next year Liverpool 1-1 Leeds :)

Being a gooner and neutral dont worry red scousers, you will be ok providing - Hodgeson goes and you get your house in order cause today it showed that you are not playing as a tea, because of all the @#$% going on around the team.This season is finished for you but providing your new septic tanks do what they say they will then in another 2-3 years you ught be challenging for the title agian. Today ot was about tactics and you were @#$% once again. So i can guarantee Hodgeson will be booted and for your own sake the sooner the better.
