    To be fair Pennant can only work his magic down the left if he has the ball.

    Mixed performance there. Haifa deserve more credit than a lot of people give them though.

    Surprised by Warnock's inclusion - but didn't last long. Pennant didn't get involved as much as I'd like - despite creating the goal - I felt Gonzalez contributed far more.

    Anyway - job done - draw on thursday.
    Is the draw not on friday morning ?

    Few points

    1. PHEW!!
    2. I dont like to generalise but Israelies are nutters. That press conference left a lot to be desired. Ye wont be missed.
    3. Agger did both him and me a power of good with that performance.
    4. Aurelio could be this years Xabi.
    5. Inspite of points 3 & 4, Our defence remains pourous.....

    Agger and Aurelio will improve with every game. But we really must beat West Ham on Saturday to get into the groove. Not too much chopping and changing required. Same defence as finished the match. Give Momo time to recover from his injury - play Gerrard and Xabi in the middle, Crouch and Bellamy up-front and any two from Pennant, Garcia and Gonzalez out wide. Keep Bolo on the bench.

    Anybody else wish we still had Hamann to fill in for Sissoko?

    Nightmare game. Hopefully we get a group full of heavyweights so we can play the underdog card again.

    Personally I'd prefer Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso to Hamann.

    Alas Gerrard and Alonso both fail to what Hamann and Sissoko do/did.

    Hi All,

    I have been following Liverpool's progression, and other football events, just didnt have the time to comment here.

    Liverpool did just enough last night to get through. Far from a stellar perforamnce but there should have been more goals. Haifa's keeper kept them in the game, such as the header from Garcia, and Alonso came close with a couple of shots.

    Performances so far this season show a shakiness in the back line and a lack of clinical finishing. There's also been a swathe of injuies and what with new signings and a hgh frequency of games, the line-up is far from stable. I was a bit surpirsed to see Bellamy 'rested' last night as I would have thought that he would have been ideal to play as an on-the-break player when Haifa did push up. He is faster than Pennant who is more of a crosser. Mind you, it was Pennant who skipped in to create that goal passing from the end line, and Crouch did well to 'crouch' down and score from his head from close range.

    Haifa didnt push up, but they created a few chances and Reina made a brilliant save when it was 1-1 to prevent the tie being all square.

    So, Liverpool start the season with a draw against Sheffield and a scrape through against Haifa, a very important result given the financial consequences. What with the swathe of injuries its not a great start and expectations are high.

    As mentioned by others, a win at home against West Ham is what's needed. Gerrard seems to be on form and I would expect the team to raise their game in front of the faithful and to get the win. 2-0, maybe Aurelio from a free-kick.
