BPL 2013/14 (Game 30) - Cardiff City 3-6 Liverpool

Ingat pasukan Chelsea saja ke yang boleh buat keputusan perlawanan macam keputusan main tenis. Liverpool pun boleh jugalah. Walaupun bolos tiga gol, kena ingat Liverpool main di gelanggang lawan dan juga melawan pasukan yang cukup sebelas pemain hingga tamat perlawanan. Tak macam Chelsea yang membelasah Arsenal 6-0 dan Manchester City membelasah Fulham 5-0 tu. Selain mereka bermain di gelanggang sendiri, mereka juga menentang pasukan lawan yang bermain 10 orang. So Liverpool ni kiranya masih hebat lagi lerkan. hehehe.

Pada perlawanan menentang pasukan Cardiff City ini, Liverpool memulakan perlawanan dengan keadaan agak kelam kabut. Liverpool seperti masih lagi berada ditahap honeymoon diatas kemenangan dengan Manchester United minggu lalu. Terlalu banyak memberi ruang untuk pemain-pemain Cardiff bergerak bebas telah membuatkan dua kali pasukan Cardiff mendahului. Nasib baik pemain-pemain cepat sedar dan mampu untuk kembali berada dilandasan yang sebenar apabila berjaya menyamakan kedudukan 2-2 sehingga tamat separuh masa pertama melalui jaringan Suarez dan Skrtel.

Skrtel pemain yang hebat untuk musim ini. Walaupun diwaktu mabuk ketumnya mampu untuk menjaringkan gol sendiri, ada waktunya ok dialah menjadi penyumbang gol dalam kebangkitan pasukan Liverpool. Mungkin kita masih ingat sewaktu dua gol jaringannya ketika Liverpool membelasah pasukan Arsenal 5-1 dahulu. Pada perlawanan ini sekali lagi beliau telah mengukir nama sebanyak dua kali sebagai penjaring gol. Jika kita lihat kehebatan Skrtel menjaringkan gol ini bukan sahaja melalui tandukkannya, malahan tapak kasutnya juga mampu untuk menolak bola ke dalam gawang pasukan lawan. Gol kedua dari Skrtel inilah yang telah membawa angin perubahan untuk Liverpool lebih ganas merobek gawang pasukan Cardiff.

Seperti biasa juga apabila Suarez sudah kembali menemui sentuhannya, sudah pasti pasukan lawan akan menjadi lebih gementar. Ini terbukti selepas manjaringkan satu gol pada separuh masa pertama, Suarez terus mencipta lagi dua gol tambahan yang menjadikan jaringan hattrik pada perlawanan ini. Dengan jaringan hattrik ini Suarez telah mengumpul 28 gol keseluruhan dalam kempen Premier League. Rasanya dah tiada siapa boleh kejar Suarez untuk mendapatkan anugerah kasut emasnya itu.

Sturridge yang masih juga mengekalkan sikap bermain secara kedekut adakalanya juga tetap tidak menghampakan. Hasil persefahaman dan budi yang baik, Suarez tanpa segan silu telah melorongkan bola untuk Sturridge menyumbangkan satu gol pada perlawanan ini. Tetapi yang masih menjadi satu trauma kepada kita, bahagian pertahanan Liverpool masih lemah untuk mudah dibocori oleh pihak lawan. Bayangkan ketga-tiga gol yang dihasilkan oleh Cardiff tersebut boleh dianggap mudah. Itulah akibatnya pemain pertahanan sering lalai dan gagl untuk memupuk persefahaman yang jitu.

Apapun tiga mata berharga terus berjaya dikekalkan untuk Liverpool terus menghimpit pasukan Chelsea di puncak liga dengan perbezaan 4 mata dan Liverpool masih lagi hutang satu perlawanan. Dengan kemenangan ini juga Liverpool telah mencatat kemenangan untuk kali ke-6 berturut-turut serta masih belum tewas lagi disaingan Premier League untuk tahun 2014 ini. Harapnya Liverpool mampu untuk mengekalkan rentak kemenangan yang berterusan bagi mengekalkan tempat untuk layak ke kejohanan Champion League musim hadapan dan seterusnya memintas Chelsea untuk Liverpool bergelar juara liga bagi musim 2013/14 ini.

Beating United at Old Trafford was twice as good as 2009

Beating United at Old Trafford was twice as good as 2009... this would be up there with the glory days of Shankly and Paisley

On my way home from White Hart Lane on Sunday evening, I sent Steven Gerrard a message as I do after most Liverpool games.  
Normally I’ll ask him how he felt the match went or for his views on any major talking points but this time, having watched Liverpool dismantle Manchester United, no questions needed answering. So I punched the words ‘Twice as good as 2009’ into my phone.

I know what it is like to go to Old Trafford and win by three goals but I couldn’t tell you how it feels to go there, play United off the park and make them spend the last 10 minutes chasing shadows as Liverpool’s ecstatic fans shout ‘Ole!’ with each tormenting pass.

When we won 4-1 in March 2009, the final score was a little distorted.

Don’t get me wrong, our display was superb but we had to deal with spells of pressure, trailed to a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty and only pulled away in the last 13 minutes with two goals after Nemanja Vidic had been sent off.

I remember the celebrations in the away end being raucous and we were delighted as we walked off the pitch, yet our elation was tempered.

 We were still four points behind United, having played a game more. We hoped we would win the title but they still held the upper hand.

Sunday’s performance, however, was completely different. United may be an inferior side to the team they were five years ago but that should not detract one bit from what Liverpool did to them.

The intent was there from the first kick and 6-0 at the final whistle wouldn’t have been flattering.
What’s more, the impact of the result and performance will have been felt across Manchester at the Etihad Stadium, reaching Stamford Bridge and the Emirates Stadium in the process. Nobody will dare underestimate Liverpool now.

Manuel Pellegrini, Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger will have looked at the two games Liverpool have just faced, away trips to United and Southampton, and probably expected them to return with, at best, four points.

That they have come through them with six unanswered goals, maximum points and confidence soaring will be causing Pellegrini, Mourinho and Wenger concern. The more they get into this race, the more impressive Liverpool look.

Full credit to Brendan Rodgers, who is handling the situation supremely well. What you get with Brendan is exactly what you see.
In his interviews and in the technical area, he never gets over-excited, always remaining in control.
That’s what you want from a manager — focus and composure, a clear plan and unshakeable belief in his methods.
He is a coach who thinks progressively, coaxing improvement from his players with encouragement and giving them opportunities.
We get told constantly about the problems with the British game.
How players can’t play the right way or retain possession, yet here is a British manager defying the critics and showing it is possible for young players to play with style and great technique.

He has been repaid with consistent performances and increasingly impressive results and you only have to see how Jon Flanagan, Raheem Sterling and Jordan Henderson have come of age during this campaign, maturing from boys to men.

Sterling must now be a certainty to make the World Cup squad. He knows how to use his explosive pace and he has an end product to go with his skill. Flanagan, meanwhile, is putting himself into contention to be on the plane.

England are well stocked for full backs but if something were to happen to Glen Johnson or Kyle Walker, Flanagan should be the first port of call. He is more than just someone who can make a tackle and he is versatile, uses the ball well and is growing in confidence.

MATCH REPORT: Manchester United 0-3 Liverpool - Gerrard nets two penalties as Suarez also strikes to pile pressure on Moyes

Two Steven Gerrard penalties and a Luis Suarez strike downed rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford as Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool did everything to strengthen their title credentials.

Liverpool took the lead after 34 minutes, with Rafael handling in the area before Steven Gerrard stepped up with a perfect spot-kick, sending David De Gea the wrong way.

The Brazilian defender was lucky to stay on the pitch having already been booked, but Mark Clattenburg kept his cards in his pocket.

Wayne Rooney tested Simon Mignolet just before half-time, but his fizzing effort was parried away.

Phil Jones then upended Joe Allen in the area just after the break, with Gerrard stepping up to slot home with inch-perfect precision again.

BPL 2013/14 (Game 29) - Manchester United 0-3 Liverpool

"Alaaaa... lawan team main sepuluh orang bolehlah menang. Lagi-lagi dapat dua gol melalui penalti. Dasar pengadil berat sebelah. Siap bagi tiga kali penalti pula tu. Menang nasib je Liverpool ni. puiiiii..."

Itulah ungkapan yang pasti akan terkeluar dari mulut-mulut peminat setia Manchester United. Pasti mereka tidak boleh menerima kenyataan diatas keputusan-keputusan pengadil yang membuatkan mereka terus menghuni didalam GUA. Keutuhan Old Trafford musnah tanpa berbalas apabila Gerrard berjaya menjaringkan gol melalui dua penaltinya disusuli Suarez melengkapkan malam kegemilangan The Reds.

Jika dilihat pada separuh masa pertama, bola sebenarnya lebih banyak berada dikawasan tengah padang berbanding percubaan-percubaan merbahaya yang berjaya dihasikan oleh kedua-dua pasukan. Liverpool lebih banyak mempamerkan aksi bertahan sebelum membalas dengan gerakan pantas. Walaupun adakalanya Liverpool cuba menukar rentak permainan, tetapi pertahanan MU yang diketuai oleh Vidic berjaya mengekang asakan.

Selepas ketinggalan 0-1 di separuh masa pertama, babak kedua MU berhajat besar untuk mencari gol penyamaan. Malangnya hanya selepas 2 minit perlawanan bersambung, Liverpool sekali lagi memperolehi sepakan penati yang berjaya disudahkan oleh Gerrard. Tersentak dan bengang punya pasal, pemain-pemain MU mengamuk untuk mengasak kawasan Liverpool. Van Persie dan Rooney bertungkus lumus membuat percubaan malangya ebih banyak yang tersasar berbanding yang tepat. Kalau tepat pun sudah tentu berjaya dinafikan oleh Mignolet.

Malam malang MU nampak akan berterusan. Tindakan Vidic menjatuhkan Sturridge dalam kotak penalti telah menghadiahkan penallti untuk kali ke 3 serta layangan kad kuning kedua merangkap kad merah untuk Vidic. Tetapi malang juga bagi Liverpool untuk menambah gol ke-3 apabila sepakan penalti Gerrard terkena tiang gol dan melatun keluar. Mungkin Gerrard pun naik segan nak score penalti. Kalau tak dah tentu hattrik penalti tercipta.  Walau bagaimanapun kekecewaan itu tidak lama. Suarez yang terlepas dari perangkap offside berjaya menebus kegagalan Gerrard untuk menghasilkan gol ke-3 merangkap gol ke-25 untuk dirinya bagi musim ini.

Sepatutnya Liverpool mampu untuk lebih lagi berpesta gol. Tetapi sikap Sturridge yang masih bermain secara kedekut telah membuatkan kawan-kawan lain yang berpeluang untuk menjaringkan gol kecewa. Lucas telah kembali dari MC panjang apabila dimasukkan pada penghujung perlawanan. Begitu juga Sakho yang tersenarai dalam pemain simpanan. Ini adalah perkembangan sihat untuk menjamin kemantapan pasukan Liverpool akan terus terjamin. Apapun menang 0-3 sudah memadai untuk terus mengheret MU ke lembah kehinaan. Yang terbaiknya Banner dari penyokong Liverpool amat pedih untuk dibaca oleh penyokong MU. " David Moyes is a football genius". Pujian ikhlas dari Liverpool. Ikhlas yang penuh bermakna.

Oprah Slams Lindsay Lohan In New Reality Show

Oprah Winfrey scolded Lindsay Lohan after learning that the Mean Girls star had been obstructing the filming of her new reality show, scheduled to go on the air next week.

After leaving rehab last year, Lohan was interviewed by Oprah and agreed to star in an eight-part documentary program titled “Lindsey” for Winfrey’s OWN network about her experience. However, a freshly released trailer for the show reveals that Oprah came close to shutting down the entire project.

 An intense scene between the talk show host and the 27-year-old in Lohan’s NYC apartment, features Oprah telling Lohan:
“My truth is that I really do want you to win, I really do. If that isn’t what you want, I’m OK with that. I will tell (the crew) to pack up and leave today. You need to cut the bulls**t. You really do.”
In the trailer we also see Lohan crying and fighting with her dad Michael Lohan.

World No. 1 Lee Chong Wei won the All England Open Championship title

World No. 1 Lee Chong Wei won the All England Open Championship title for a third time, sweeping aside China's Chen Long 21-13, 21-18 in the final in Birmingham.

The Malaysian started strong, and his victory never looked in doubt as he completed a hat-trick of titles by defeating his 25-year-old rival, who won last year's championship

Despite his third victory, 31-year-old Lee hinted that this may be his last appearance at the Championships.

"I think this my last All England. I'm very happy and I tried my best because Chen Long is a very tough match for me.

I've lost to him many times so I think for this reason I made sure I tried very hard. I've finished for this year and I don't know if I will be back next year." Lee Chong Wei quoted.

Chong Wei reigns supreme at Yonex All England Championships

LEE CHONG WEI delighted his passionate followers this afternoon by defeating Chen Long in devastating fashion to lift his third men’s singles title at the Yonex All England Open Badminton Championships at Birmingham’s National Indoor Arena (NIA).

The world number one from Malaysia, who was appearing in his sixth successive All England final,  made an aggressive start and went on to score a 21-13 21-18 against the second seed to avenge last year’s final defeat by the Chinese star, who had also overpowered him in the Korean Open final in January.

But this win means the Malaysian has won both of the first two MetLife BWF Super Series Premier events on the year as he followed up his 10^th victory in the Malaysian Open in January.
And the All England crown will put him in good heart for his return to Britain later in the year to defend his Commonwealth Games title in Glasgow 2014 before going in search of an elusive first world title in Copenhagen at the end of August.

Butterfly Bryce

Butterfly Bryce has been the "big gun" of modern table tennis for the last 10 years or so. Used by many top players (almost always with speed glue), it is very fast with just enough spin to bring the ball down on the table when power looping.

Definition: A power loop is a powerful topspin attack, where the emphasis is on putting a high speed on the ball, with just enough topspin to bring the ball down close to the endline on the opponent's side of the table.

BPL 2013/14 (Game 28) - Southampton 0-3 Liverpool

Selepas mengharungi empat perlawanan terakhir liga premier dan satu perlawanan piala FA tanpa sebarang jaringan, akhirnya Luis Suarez telah menamatkan bulan tanpa gol oleh dirinya pada perlawanan malam tadi. Satu gol pendahuluan Suarez ini adalah gol penaik semangat pasukan Liverpool untuk mengatasi Southampton di St. Mary's dengan keputusan 0-3. Kali terakhir Suarez menjaringkan gol adalah pada 29 Januari lalu ketika membantu Liverpool membenam cabaran Everton di Anfield dengan 4-0.

Liverpool mengambil masa 15 minit selepas wisel perlawanan dimulakan untuk mendahului Southampton. Gerakkan satu dua antara Suarez dan Sturridge serta dibantu kesilapan yang telah dilakukan oleh pertahanan Southampton menjadikan tugas Suarez lebih mudah untuk membuat sepakan leret menewaskan penjaga gol Southampton. Gerakkan ini adalah terhasil dari serangan kilat setelah kubu Liverpool diasak sejak awal permainan lagi.
Tersentak dengan gol tersebut, pemain-pemain Southampton terus melipat gandakan asakan ke kawasan Liverpool. Lallana hampir menyamakan kedudukan apabila berjaya membuat percubaan kearah gawang gol Liverpool, tetapi malangnya bola tersebut terkena tiang dan melantun kembali keluar dikala Mignolet sudah pun tersalah langkah. Disebalik serangan-serangan Southampton ini, sekali sekala Liverpool cuba mencuri-curi buat serangan hendap. Walau bagaimanapun tamat separuh masa pertama, keputusan masih kekal 0-1.

Separuh masa kedua,  pemain-pemain Southampton masih bernafsu untuk mengasak kubu Liverpool seperti yang dilakukan sebelum ini. Melihatkan kurang keberkesanan Coutinho pada perlawanan ini, Brendan Rodgers segera mengeluarkannya untuk digantikan oleh Sterling. Apa yang menariknya tidak sampai satu minit Sterling masuk, beliau telah berjaya menjaringkan gol kedua untuk Liverpool. Hasil gerakkan menarik yang ditunjukkan oleh Suarez telah menyilang bola ke hadapan gawang untuk disempurnakan oleh Sterling dengan baik sekali.
Sewaktu keputusan 0-2 ini dilihat bakal kekal hingga ke wisel penamat, Suarez sekali lagi menjadi duri dalam daging apabila beliau telah mendapatkan penalti untuk pasukan Liverpool. Akibat kelincahan Suarez melepasi kawalan, Fonte mengambil keputusan untuk menyekat beliau betul-betul didalam kotak penalti. Seperti biasa pakar sepakan penalti merangkap kapten Liverpool, Steven Gerrard berjaya menyudahkan sepakan penalti tersebut untuk menambahkan derita pasukan Southampton dengan keputusan 0-3 hingga tamat perlawanan.

Pada perlawanan ini, walaupun Liverpool berjaya mempertahankan gawangnya dari dibocori, tetapi masih lagi terserlah kelemahan dan kelonggaran dalam mengawasi pergerakkan penyerang lawan. Sememangnya diakui Liverpool lebih banyak menggunakan sistem permainan bertahan dan menyerang balas ketika peluang tiba. Walaupun pada satu-satu masa ada 5 hingga 6 pemain Liverpool berkampung dikawasan pertahanan sendiri, nampak masih mudah untuk penyerang-penyerang Southampton meloloskan diri untuk membuat hantaran serta percubaaan yang merbahaya. Brendan Rodgers perlu menitik beratkan pertahanan untuk lebih kukuh dimasa akan datang. Jika perlu gunakan konsep kuih lapis pun tak mengapa. Yang penting dapat melumpuhkan serangan pihak lawan.
Dengan kemenangan ini, Liverpool telah memintas pasukan Arsenal untuk melonjak ke tangga kedua liga dibawah pasukan Chelsea. Arsenal yang tewas mengejut ke atas Stoke City, terpaksa akur untuk menduduki tangga ke-3. Perlu diingat kedudukn Liverpool ketika ini bukanlah kedudukan yang selamat. Ini kerana pasukan Manchester City masih berhutang dua perlawanan liga. Jadi seandainya Liverpool mampu untuk meneruskan kecemerlangan ini hingga ke akhir musim, pasti para penyokong mampu untuk senyum hingga ke telinga. YNWA.
