Keep an eye out for Kelly
FANS of the much missed Liverpool fanzine Thru The Wind And Rain will be glad to know editor Steven Kelly is now a published author.
Kelly, one of the best writers on Liverpool, will soon release "Rotation, Rotation, Rotation: A Season at Anfield". It's sure to be a brilliant read if his past fanzine efforts are anything to go by.
Definitely one to keep an eye out for.

It's not that we didn't play well last night it is that the replacements didn't play well it almost cost us the game.
- No Keane and Torres meant we lacked polish up front
- No Riera and we lost our ability to breakdown the defence on the left
- No Masch and we lost a lot of composure in the center.
We were still able to controlled the game and our defence in particular was outstanding but it took a fortuitous penalty for us to win. One or two of those changes and I most are saying we would have won much more comfortably.
The thing is I think all 4 changes may have been necessary. These guys have 9 games in a month, You just can't do that without suffering a few knocks. Rafa's got to find a way to get them through this which will require him taking some risks regarding rotation and if he does so without dropping points he is doing a fantastic job.
Chelski are having the same problem at the moment, despite having a ridiculous amount of depth. Look at the subs they were forced to use against us.

Joke of the worst kind thats my other halfs thoughts on him an cant wait till xmas when he hopes Harry will get rid.

torres is injured and hasnt played for a couple weeks now and keane has been far from polished up front .
We had plenty of composure in the middle as both xabi and lucas controlled the middle all the way through the game and thats reflected in reports today . yeah maybe without put reira we lost a bit on the left but if he is also carrying a knock then bringing on babel who was pretty damn good on sunday isnt that bad at all .
we could of won by a fair few more goals if it want for david james who made some blinding saves and also distin with that clearance when yossi was through .
yeah there is always a risk to play a few back ups but last night to me didnt seem that big a risk and in the end was vindicated by the result.
