The following posts on Poor Scouser Tommy were published in the Players category.

I don’t want to be smug about it………

but I was right. And it is the most gut-wrenching, heart-aching, and soul destroying feeling in the world. I take absolutely no-pride in being right about our current situation. Yes those few short months ago, when I had fellow Liverpool fans lining up round the corner to tell me “Roy is the man to steady [...]

Cause for optimism for Liverpool fans?

What a difference a few weeks make  - at the end of the World Cup we were managerless, facing the prospect of losing three of our ‘world-class’ players, no-one wanted to join us, the Yanks still hadn’t fucked off….and so on. Skip to the start of August – we’ve gained a sensible manager coming off [...]

Right Royally!

Ok – so that leaves us the league (extremely unlikely) and the Europa League (extremely pointless) to aim for – not good, not before January is out.  I can handle losing to Reading, I really can – I just don’t accept that they were better than us.  The telly love to use words like plucky, [...]

Oh Happy Day!

So Dossena has packed the tent and Voronin is following on his way out of the Anfield exit door – I’m just glad that we found someone, anyone to take these pair off our hands.  I may be being a bit unfair to Dossena – he never really got the chance to settle in the [...]

Where to go from here?

A dozen players out, half the league games played lost, every man and his dog on the managers back – hardly the ideal preparation for a critical Champions League tie is it? The Fulham defeat was hardly a massive giant-killing – Woy Hodgson has put together a useful unit at Craven Cottage and is an [...]

Realistic Targets

So a deal with a Saudi Arabian prince taking a stake in the club is supposedly in it’s final stages…let’s look into the future.  It’s January, Prince Faisal has done a City and pumped a shedload of money into the club….who would you like to see Rafa sign?  When I say sign, I mean with [...]

Guest Blog – Lord Luis

Today’s post is from my very good friend and frequent commenter on this site Lord Luis.  Lord Luis will be guesting on this site quite frequently hopefully! Was Michael Owen actually any good for Liverpool as a club? 160 goals in 300 appearances, that is a very impressive figures, but was it any good for [...]

Fabio shows the way

Fabio Aurelio is potentially back in the squad for this weekends clash with Burnley – great news as when he is in the side he gives a balance to the side that can only be enhanced with Glen Johnsons addition to the squad.  So after a prolonged absence from the side, missing pre-season and the [...]
