Exactly how i hoped the team would play when i first started the experiment. Brilliant one touch football opened Zurich up with ease. However, Zurich certainly did not look like a poor side and i will be wary of them when the come to Anfield.

FIXTURE 9 Premier league
Reading 1 - Liverpool 0
Possession etc all pretty even, will only mention it now if it is worth it or if we get outplayed. Looked the better side only a dodgy last minute pen gave Reading the win. Typical of how inconsistent we have been through the season though.
League Cup 3rd Round
Liverpool 1 - Man utd 2
An early mascheran sending off(28th min) for an elbow ended virtually all chances we had of winning this game. Man utd have been unstoppable in the league and continued it here. After goin 1 down Crouch equalised but Saha scored a late goal to seal it for Man u.
FIXTURE 10 Premier League
Liverpool 1 - West Ham 0
Crouch and Gonzalez both picking up injuries put a sour note on an otherwise solid performance. Bellamy with the only goal of the game, he is starting to look like more and more of a goal scorer every time he plays.
FIXTURE 4 Champions League Group B
Liverpool 1 - Zurich 1
Poor result. However, completeley dominant only and 80th minute goal spoilt the game for us after some sloppy defending. On a more positive note we had 59% possession which was pleasing. This time it was Kuyts turn to get his name on the scoresheet.
October Review
A mixed set of results show the teams problems with consistency. In need of some serious transfers of real quality. Hopefully November will bring more success
