Liverpool took the lead early on; Javier Mashcerano’s shot deflected of Yobo’s leg, and flew into the corner. Not sure if that’ll go down as a Mashcerano goal or an own goal. For the rest of the first half, Everton were pushing for an equalizer. Jo found the net twice, but both were ruled for offside. If Jo ever wants a surname, I suggest it to be ‘Offside’ Liverpool’s defence was (for once) quite good, as the kept Everton out, and Pepe Reina had hardly anything to do. He had to pick the ball out of his net twice…to take a free kick because Everton were offside.

Mashcerano after Liverpool score their first

During the second half Liverpool were more ‘impressive’ than after they scored their first goal. Both teams had chances, but none took any of them. Yossi Benayoun came on for N’gog, and late on Riera came on for Fabio Aurelio. Pepe Reina made a great save before dropping the ball, luckily not into his own net, and he managed to pick it up again. That wasn’t all Reina’s work done for the day though. Fellani should have scored, but a tremendous double save form goalkeeper Reina kept him out, and Everton just couldn’t find the net. Howard also made some fine saves, including one stopping Albert Riera. But before that, Liverpool went 2-0 up, thanks to Dirk Kuyt kicking home a rebound. Liverpool’s season may now be back on track.

Liverpool are 5th while Everton fall down to 16th place in the table.

This was Liverpool’s eighth win in ten visits to Goodison Park.

“The disappointing thing was having to rely on other teams going into tonight,” said Gerrard.

“We’ve played fantastically well tonight and deserved the three points, so it’s disappointing that we won’t progress in the Champions League.

“You get what you deserve in this competition and the two late goals we conceded against Lyon have been crucial. But it’s gone now – it’s in the past and we’ve got to move on.

“We’re in the Europa League and we’ll go and try to win it.

“Tonight’s performance was encouraging and we can build on that. We’ve got a lot of players coming back from injury so hopefully it’s onwards and upwards from here.”

Liverpool took the lead in the 4th minute, through David N’gog, scoring from close range. From then up to half time, it was all Liverpool. Debrecen were playing poorley, allowing Liverpool to push, and Liverpool had numerous chances, but didn’t take them. N’gog also was slightly injured about half way through the first half, but he seemed to be okay. At Half time Liverpool were leading away from home by one goal to nil.

In the second half, it was slightly more Debrecen, but Liverpool were still dominating. Liverpool had more chances they didn’t take, including Dirk Kuyt heading wide. Debrecen had chances to score, and Rudolph had a great shot on goal which Pepe Reina had to make a great save. In stoppage time Debrecen had a brilliant chance, but once again couldn’t take it. About midway through the second half Benayoun came on for N’gog, and Aquilani only played 90 seconds, something Liverpool fans won’t be happy about.

But wether we won 1-0 or 100-0 it wouldn’t of made a difference. Fiorentina won the match against Lyon thanks to a first half penalty. The only thing we can now do is look forward to the Europa League. It should be easier than the Champions League, so it’s a chance to win some silverware this season.

Final Score: Debrecen 0-1 Liverpool.

With Liverpool struggling also in the Premier League, this may be a season to forget for all Liverpool fans.

“Man City are way better than Liverpool”

“Liverpool are rubbish.”

“Liverpool won’t even make the Champions League”

These are things we have to turn around, and quick. Liverpool FC are one of the most successful teams  in the world, and if you told that to someone who only started to watch football from the start of the season right now, they would laugh.

Alberto Aquilani could make his home debut tomorrow.

The Italian midfielder won’t start against Birmingham, but is likely to be on the bench and could make his Anfield debut as a subsitute.

“His [Aquilani's] match fitness is still a problem,” said Rafael Benitez.

“We are hopeful of having some players fit and available so maybe he can wait and change the game if it’s necessary.

“We were controlling the game in Lyon and Lucas and Javier Mascherano were doing a very good job. When we scored we didn’t want to change the shape. Aquilani was better after his virus and could have played some part but hopefully now he will be better for Monday.”

As much as I like Rafa, he is now tiring me. We can’t win. This isn’t the Liverpool fans wanted to see. Fans wanted to see Liverpool win the league after a great season that saw us finish in 2nd. But that’s not happening, and we’re going down. Okay, we are in 5th, but a team like us should not be losing to Villa at home. Should not be losing to Fulham. Should not be losing to Sunderland. Okay, we only lost to Sunderland because of a beach ball, but in that game where was our quality? And recently against Fulham, Rafa taking Torres off? He lucked puzzled as he walked off, as so did all the Liverpool fans. That was a game we needed to win, and then Rafa goes and takes Torres off in the 60th minute? Ok, we might have a giant game against Lyon on Wednesday, but I thought the Premier League was supposed to be mroe important than the Champions League. Rafa shown that he was more interested in the Premier League last season, because it’s what the fans wanted. But now it looks like he is way more bothered about the Champions League. A team with Babel and Voronin are not going to beat Fulham. They are good players, but not good enough to be brought on in a giant game we had to win.

I know it is also the owners fault, we need them out. They should go and buy some baseball or basketball club. We don’t want them, why can’t they accept that? Also I’m with Rafa all the way, but my support is gradually going down. There is rumours of him not being good enough and being sacked. So after that Liverpool win a game and he stays. After that we do rubbish again, losing many games. That has happened more than once, and I’m not happy with that. Right now, I’d get Rafa sacked unless something spectacular happens, which I don’t think will.

ALBERTO AQUILANI has taken a huge step towards making his Liverpool debut now he has started kicking a ball again for the first time in six months.

Rafa Benitez reported last week that his £20m midfielder was making good progress but erred on the side of caution as to when Aquilani might be seen in a Red shirt.

However, the Italian was given the green light to start doing some ball work again late last week and has continued to work on passing and shooting in the last couple of days.

There is a growing sense of anticipation amongst supporters about Aquilani, who was drafted in to fill the void left by Xabi Alonso’s move to Real Madrid.

But there is no chance of him launching his career in the cut and thrust of a potentially pivotal clash against Manchester United on Sunday week.

Benitez will be looking to ease Aquilani in gradually as the 25-year-old has not played a competitive game since Arsenal beat his old club Roma in the Champions League in March.

The reserves have a game against Sunderland at home next Wednesday but it could be that Benitez waits a further seven days before pushing him into the frame.

That would open up the prospect of Aquilani getting his first taste of English football in the Carling Cup fourth round clash at Arsenal on October 28.
