That is one slow team, thank F**k it's not in the prem.

Voronin and Crouch!!!  Has Kuyt been dropped?.....

Looks like the bench    Both Voronin and Crouch up front

Right, just enough time to cook my fajita's before kickoff.

See you all later!

Just enough time for the missus to put the lasagne in the oven.

Finnan dropped I am surprised about.  Front pairing was expecting.  Babel anybody?

I was expecting Crouch but not Voronin. I thought he would have went with Babel up front to add a bit of pace.

You know what I mean!!  

Question is, who is going to be getting forward more? Riise or Aurelio? And how are we going to get on defensively down the left?

Better phone Rafa and ask him !! 

As stated by Eddie, this is one slow team 

Congratulations to Sami by the way. 100th European game for us!!! Let's hope he bags a goal from a corner.

Yeah, in their net and not ours    He's got to mark his 100th European with a goal

I didn't say 'another' goal now, did I?....

Liverpool will get a crushing win over Besiktas.I am sure of that.Because i am from Turkey and i know a lot bout our opponent.We will get at least 3 goals.I promise.

Besiktas is in a great shock of their last defeat to Fenerbahce.That why they are not thinking about this match.We must get a goal very quickly at the start of the game and the rest will be very easy

Forever Liverpool.

Well said StefanFredrik!!!! COME ON YOU REDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get in there Crouchy!

Another Goal!!!

Liverpool 2 - 0 Besiktas
Yossi Bennayoun controls an Andriy Voronin cross with his first touch and powers in a shot in a smart finish from 15 yards. Lovely from Liverpool.

Woooo!! Keep it up lads!!
 

  Good first half.

Good first half.

Yeah, agree with you. I think we could have scored a couple more goals, but it has been a good performance so far. Just hope it carries on in the next half and we score more goals.

What a difference Arbeloa is making tonight... this lad looks the biz... how we missed him!

I think this will finish 3 or 4 nil.... hope to see Torres on at some point too!

Just seen Alonso celebrating Crouchies goal in the studio... class!

COME ON YOU REDS.

Second half has started.

And there's the third goal for us.

Andriy Voronin picks out John Arne Riise in the box, and while the Norwegian's rasping shot is saved, Yossi Benayoun is in the right place at the right time to slot in the rebound.

I keep my promise.We have got 3 goals.


And that is the 4 !!!!!
