Scouse connection at the heart of LFC.

Update: Venue changed from Ecobar, PJ Trade Centre to The Library, e-Cuve due to some technical problems with Ecoba’s Astro service. Kindly take note of the change in venue and apologies from MyRAWK on the last minute notice and change of venue.

In our final BPL home game of the 09/10 season, we’ll be playing Chelsea and have the role of being “king-makers” in deciding where the Premiership Championship will head to. We face dilemma of either to go for the win and see if the team above us in the fight for the final Champions League qualification spot will falter, or entertain the possibility of “not wining” the match to stop our nemesis down the M62 – Man Utd from surpassing the 18 championships mark.

Come join the MyRAWKites this Sunday night, from 8pm onwards @ The Library, e@Curve, Mutiara Damansara or The Taragon Restaurant, Lorong Hang Jebat, Melaka to see for yourselves, how The Mighty Reds will solve this dilemma and conundrum. For nostalgic sake, it will also be the end of an era as this will be the final time we’ll be playing at home with a Carlsberg sponsored shirt as well.

Come wind or high water, we shall still be supporting LFC and we will never walk alone. So come on you Reds!

Are You Red Enough?

Liverpool headed to Stamford Bridge hoping to repeat last season’s victory, but there was no such fairy tale this time around.

Second half goals from Nicholas Anelka and Florent Malouda sealed the points for Chelsea, as Liverpool slumped to their second consecutive defeat after the Fiorentina game.

As expected, the home team dominated proceedings and gave little for Liverpool to work with. Overall, it was clear that Chelsea were the better team on the pitch, with a lot of possession and winning most of the second balls. Any attempts to lump the ball over to Torres up front were quickly and easily snuffed out.

On the other end, the defensive partnership of Carragher and Skrtel were rock solid. Although they did eventually allow Drogba to set up both the Chelsea goals, by and large the Liverpool backline managed to nullify any threats towards Pepe Reina.

The improvement should augur well for the Reds, especially against weaker opposition who hold the bulk of the Premiership points.

At the end of the day, Liverpool lost out to a better, hungrier Chelsea side.

Armchair critics would no doubt have written off Liverpool’s chances for the title this season.

In spite of the three defeats so far, Liverpool are just six points off the leaders, and one away from the Mancs, who were extremely lucky to have picked up the 1 point against Sunderland. Would anybody write them off had they lost?

And here’s the funny thing about football.

It only takes the next game, and another victory, and a string of good results to silence the critics.

And we all know the squad is up to the task.

Next up – another away game, this time at Sunderland who were seconds away from a famous win at Old Trafford. Bring it on, boys!
