Chelsea and Manchester City came into the weekend tied for first place, but a City draw away at Everton meant that the weekend ended with a two-point lead for the Blues. On the other end of the table, QPR continued their road losing streak and fell into the relegation zone, replacing Burley who beat them… Continue reading Chelsea Takes Advantage of City’s Draw: Premier League Review for Jan 10-11

Embed from Getty Images Remember this?  Leicester and Wimbledon: After a disappointing 2-2 draw vs. Leicester (a game they were up 2-0) the story of the game may not have been the soft penalty calls, the blown lead, or even the disappointing result. The story I saw the most of after this game was the generosity of… Continue reading The Reds Roundup – January 8, 2015

Embed from Getty Images Shelvey finally gets the Liverpool goal he’s been dreaming of.  Smooth Sailing vs. Swansea: Liverpool looked like the better squad throughout this game, and a well deserved goal by Alberto Moreno put the reds up 1-0 in the first half. Of course, Moreno had the entire goal to shoot at and… Continue reading The Reds Roundup – December 31, 2014

Embed from Getty Images Oh Jesus. Arsenal Draw Another match that Liverpool should have won after a completely dominant performance vs. the Gunners. Both goals looked to be Brad Jones’ fault, but it’s not looking like Rodgers is ready to give him the hook yet either. I know we’re looking for a new goalie, but… Continue reading The Reds Roundup – December 24, 2014

Embed from Getty Images Maybe no one will notice if I just stay down here for the rest of this game.  Some Bad, Some Good (and then bad again): The Reds started off this week in horrible fashion. After the surprise snub of the season (perennial backup Brad Jones in for underperformer Simon Mignolet) the Reds… Continue reading The Reds Roundup – December 18, 2014

Embed from Getty Images He said he had an itch on his nose. We were just trying to help! Everything’s the Worst We can gloss over the 0-0 Sunderland tie to get to the 1-1 Basel tie (read: loss) on Tuesday. Regardless of if you think Markovic connected with his hand when he reached back for some… Continue reading The Reds Roundup – December 11, 2014

Embed from Getty Images Glen Johnson faints after realizing that he actually scored a goal Stoke and Leicester I’m going to skip right over this past weekend’s performance vs. Stoke since I refuse to praise Glen Johnson. Yes he scored, and I appreciate him putting his head in the path of danger to get the… Continue reading Reds Roundup – December 4, 2014

Battle in Bulgaria There are only so many ways I can say that, “Liverpool blew another one.” It seems that since the start of these posts, that’s the only thing I’ve been saying in the match recaps. When Mignolet took that shot off his chest 2 minutes in and Liverpool went down 1-0, I had… Continue reading The Reds Roundup – November 27, 2014

Injuries Galore! Told you so. In last week’s Reds Roundup SFTB predicted that somehow Daniel Sturridge would be the player that picks up an injury during the international break. Not even 48 hours after implying his return to the field via Instagram, Sturridge picks up another injury that will keep him out for the rest of… Continue reading The Reds Roundup – November 20, 2014

Effing Chelsea Part II: Another loss. Another disappointing game. Another week to comprehend how this season has been going so wrong. Sure, we should have had a PK for a hand ball in the box towards the end of the game, but Chelsea had more opportunities than us, and as per usual we had no… Continue reading The Reds Roundup – November 13, 2014
