After trahsing Besiktas 8 - 0, I think it has become clear that we shall never walk alone.
Injuries never make thing go well, but even in injury, our only defeats remain Besiktas and Maseille.
We can bounce back as we are used to doing, and that dramatic night at Anfield, is just an apettizer, to today's game against Fulham.
And yet again, we shall never walk alone

Guy are you scared of Martins? I believe we have stifflers that can stop him right in midfield before he plans of doing something in attack? If we are leaving St. James' Park on saturday, I know it would be with our unbeaten run intact, |

Most definitely the mighty , John Barnes His skin color may have paid a part in my choice,but it was so difficult back then for people of his colour & those were the glory days of Liverpool F.C Dirk Kuyt still has to prove himself, 2+ seasons isn't enough to become a GREATI agree the '77 set were phenomenal |

Now that the three lions? [/sub]they must be toothless[sub]are out of Austria and Switzerland, we can now see what international duties can cost clubs. When Gerr played with a broken foot against Chelsea, Macca [/sub]oh foolish Macca[sub] pressed that Gerr must play with the aid of injections. The effect of that, was a string of uninspirational play that now costs us a place in the second round of the UCL, and now places us sixth on the PL's table. Now Gerr and 'Lanky' would have to sit it out in May? when the showdown commences. I think clubs sould begin to press for more than the meagre compensations they get for the FA. ???Anyway  Gerr, take heart and continue to play your hearts out for the KOP. For lanky,  Just continue to fight for your shirt. YNWA |

Fernando Torres became Liverpool's record signing on July 4, 2007.
The striker had spent the previous 12 years at Atletico Madrid, the club he supported as a boy.
The Spanish giants snapped him up at the age of 11 after he netted 55 goals in his first season at amateur side Rayo 13.
Three years after his arrival Torres was named the best under-14 player in Europe following his performances in the Nike Cup.
He signed his first professional contract in 1999 but had to wait until May 27, 2001 to make his debut against Leganes.
Still, at 17 years and 68 days, he was Atletico's youngest ever player. Within a week he'd scored his first goal in a match against Albacete.
The 2001-02 season saw him net six times in 36 league appearances, helping his side win promotion to La Liga.
Meanwhile, he was still making waves on the international scene. Torres was top scorer and player of the tournament in the 2001 European Under-16 Championships and 2002 European Under-19 Championships, both of which Spain won.
The frontman bagged 13 goals during his first season in the Spanish top flight, earning him a first under-21 cap for his country.
The 2003-04 campaign proved to be a momentous one for Torres. Not only did he score 19 goals in 35 league appearances, but he was also handed the club captaincy. At 19, he was the youngest skipper in Atletico's long and illustrious history.
On top of all this, the youngster was also called up into the senior Spain squad, making his full debut in a friendly with Portugal on September 6, 2003. The following April he scored his first international goal against Italy. He was then part of the Spain squad which travelled to Euro 2004 in Holland and Belgium.
The player nicknamed El Nino (The Kid) because of his youthful appearance was selected for the 2006 World Cup in Germany, where he scored three goals.
The following year, in May 2007, Torres hit the headlines when he revealed the phrase 'You'll Never Walk Alone' on the inside of his captain's armband during a match between Atletico and Real Sociedad. Two months of speculation and paper talk ensued before the striker was finally unveiled at Melwood.
He left Atletico with a record of 82 goals in 214 league appearances.
Torres made his competitive debut for the Reds at Villa Park on August 11, 2007. A week later he bagged his first official goal when Chelsea visited Anfield (though he had already scored in a pre-season friendly versus Shanghai Shenhua).
The centre-forward's apparently seamless transition into English football was highlighted with a spectacular hat-trick when Liverpool travelled to Reading in the third round of the Carling Cup.

I think Liverpool is just a natural record setter. Read this: http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/features/history/FH12047071109-1218.htmAfter a week that saw Liverpool rattle in eight goals we thought it would be topical to reminisce about another record breaking big score at Anfield when Saturday's opponents Fulham once let in double figures back in 1986. The date was September 23, 1986 and the competition was the Littlewoods Cup second round, 1st leg. Just 13,498 supporters turned up at Anfield for the match that turned out to be a footballing treat and a record league cup victory for the Reds as we won 10-0. Now back then it was very different to what we have now, in terms of supporters being able to watch every goal from every match Liverpool play in on LFC TV. A single police surveillance camera was the only source of footage on the night, and all 10 goals were shown in wide angle format on the BBC official history video which was released in December 1987. Kenny Dalglish's reigning double winners had gone into the Fulham game on the back of a 2-1 defeat at Southampton – a match that saw Kevin MacDonald break his leg which effectively ended his Anfield career. Steve McMahon was the man of the match for Liverpool as he scored four goals and even missed a penalty – at the time it was to claim what would have been his hat-trick. Ian Rush and John Wark grabbed a brace and Ronnie Whelan and Steve Nicol completed the rout. Recalling the events, striker Rush said: "It was a record night for us, but a match in which we could easily have fallen behind. Fulham had the first good chance of the match, but thankfully for us their striker Dean Coney miscued. "Not that it would have made any difference mind you. Our finishing was razor-sharp and poor John Vaughan in the Fulham goal had no chance. "Stevie Mac knocked in four, mainly from my range, close in. I could have had four goals but had to settle for two. We could even afford the luxury of a missed penalty and had a club record-equalling 11th goal disallowed." For the record Liverpool won the second leg 3-2 at Craven Cottage when reserve team players John Durnin and Brian Mooney made their debuts. The night is best remembered for the cover of the Fulham matchday programme which had a picture of Diego Maradona on his knees saying a prayer. It summed up Fulham's mood for the second leg and their good sense of humour. Liverpool ended the season runners-up in this competition when the Reds lost 2-1 to Arsenal at Wembley. It was also the first time that Liverpool had lost a game when Rush had scored. Liverpool team: Grobbelaar, Gillespie, Beglin, Lawrenson, Whelan, Gillespie, Dalglish, Nicol, Rush, Wark, McMahon. Subs not used: Venison, Hooper. |

Liverpool climbed to third after beating struggling Bolton at Anfield.
Steven Gerrard created both first-half goals, first sending over a free-kick that was headed in by Sami Hyypia.
After Bolton striker Nicolas Anelka missed an open goal, Gerrard rolled a pass into the path of Fernando Torres who chipped keeper Jussi Jaaskelainen.
The Liverpool captain added a third with a second-half penalty after Abdoulaye Meite fouled Peter Crouch, and Ryan Babel tapped in the fourth.
How Anelka failed to equalise when Bolton were trailing by a single goal, only the Frenchman will know.
The ball landed at Anelka's feet after Pepe Reina and Jamie Carragher collided in trying to clear a Kevin Davies pass, but with the goal at his mercy the former Liverpool striker shot wide.
Had Anelka scored the course of this game might have been different, but Torres' goal a minute before half-time made Bolton's task of taking any points almost impossible.
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez partnered Torres and Crouch in attack for the first time in the Premier League.
The two have played in the Carling Cup as well as the Champions League, but on the evidence of this game their attacking partnership remains very much a work in progress.
Torres, who received a huge ovation when he was taken off in the second half, completely overshadowed Crouch.
As well as winning the penalty, Crouch did go close in one of Liverpool's early attacks when his goal-bound shot was blocked on the line by Lubomir Michalik, but this was not one of his most effective games.
While Anelka endeared himself to his old club's fans with that awful miss, El-Hadji Diouf earned the opprobrium of the Anfield crowd with a horrendous tackle on Alvaro Arbeloa.
Diouf complained long and hard over the yellow card, but given the way he raked his studs down Arbeloa's leg the Senegalese player was lucky not to be sent off.
It was from a free-kick that Liverpool took the lead, Gerrard whipping over the ball and Hyypia getting the faintest of glances to beat Jaaskelainen with a header.
A minute before the interval Gerrard and Torres combined to punish Anelka's profligacy.
If Gerrard's curling pass to release Torres was exquisite, the Spaniard's finish probably bettered it.
Torres gently lifted the ball over the advancing Jaaskelainen, in a finish reminiscent of Kenny Dalglish's winning goal against Bruges in the European Cup final of 1978.
The second half proved a formality for Liverpool, with Crouch's emphatically taken penalty further extending their lead.
Just before being substituted Torres zigzagged his way past a succession of Bolton defenders, only to then send his shot over the bar.
Dirk Kuyt replaced Torres and the Dutchman played a key role in Liverpool's fourth goal.
Jaaskelainen was unable to hold Kuyt's shot and Babel had the simplest of jobs to roll the ball into the empty net.
Soon after Babel might have had a second goal, but Meite did well to head off the line.
Liverpool are still unbeaten in the Premier League, but their title credentials are likely to be given a more rigorous assessment in a fortnight when Manchester United travel to Anfield.

With 21 goals in 5 matches, Liverpool FC would be a team to beat this weekend.
However, Captain fantastic is saying the goals may not really matter, if only the points keep rolling in.
Well, El Nino still remains a 25 goal per season goaledor.
Reading must look out. The reverse of this fixture last season was a 2-0 bash for the homers.
Now, lets see what they can muster out this time around.

Yeah we may have lost over the weekend, but so has Arsenal.
So? I think we should get positive for the game against Amrseille tomorrow, and hope that something good comes out from it. Either a 2-2 draw or more, or a win would send us ion to the knock-out stages, and shut the mouths of our critics.
All the same, YNWA!!!

Liverpool delivered an inspired performance when it really mattered to secure a place in the Champions League knockout stages at the expense of Marseille.
The Reds became the first English side to beat Marseille at the Stade Velodrome in European competition as early goals by Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres were added to by second-half strikes by Dirk Kuyt and Ryan Babel.
It meant the Merseysiders finished second in Group A behind Porto and qualified from the pool stages for the fourth year in succession.
In truth, the Reds could and should have won by more, such was their dominance and the Marseille lethargy, especially at the back.
It was a special night for Gerrard, who opened the scoring when he powered home the rebound from a penalty he won himself.
That was his 23rd goal in the Champions League, overtaking a milestone he had shared jointly with Michael Owen.
Torres was a pest to the Marseille rearguard throughout and his 11th-minute goal was a gem, a mazy run topped off with an ice-cold finish.
Kuyt and substitute Babel scored neatly-taken goals at either end of the second half as Marseille imploded.
They can at least console themselves with a UEFA Cup spot, while Reds coach Rafael Benitez can go into Sunday's meeting with club owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett in renewed heart.
Liverpool came into the match reeling from Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Reading, their first loss in this season's Barclays Premier League.
They would also have had Sunday's Anfield summit meeting with Manchester United in the back of their minds although, as expected, Benitez put out all his big names in a full-strength team.
They delivered in the most emphatic manner and had qualification wrapped up after just 11 minutes.
The deadlock was broken Gerrard in the third minute from the spot.
The captain was the man to win the penalty when, having been set free by Kewell, he was sent tumbling by Laurent Bonnart.
The full-back was the last man and should have been red-carded, but he did not even receive a booking.
Gerrard dusted himself down and even though his initial attempt was saved by Steve Mandanda, he rammed home the rebound from six yards and Liverpool were on their way.
Torres was running amok up front, pulling defenders out of position and finding space with his pace.
But it was his skill with the ball at his feet that put Liverpool 2-0 up.
Receiving a short pass from Harry Kewell just outside the area, the Spain international jinked around two defenders before opening his body up and sliding a cool finish inside the far post.
The crowd, so vibrant prior to kick-off, were stunned but their side could have been further behind by the break.
Liverpool were having little trouble at the back, Marseille relying on long-range pot-shots as their only means of testing Jose Reina.
Only once did they breach the Reds' rearguard, but Mathieu Valbuena - slipped in by Lorik Cana - chose to go round Jose Reina rather than shoot and the chance was lost.
There was more action at the other end.
Kuyt, who was happy to drop back to help out his midfield, headed a drifting Harry Kewell cross straight at Mandanda midway into the half.
And towards the end of the opening period, Liverpool had a clutch of chances that should have harvested at least one more goal.
Gerrard sent a free-kick just wide before Kewell volleyed narrowly over in the 40th minute.
Torres, having outpaced Julien Rodriguez, then poked an effort over but it was all Liverpool.
By that time, Samir Nasri, the young France playmaker who was adjudged not fit enough to start after recent ankle trouble, had been thrown on by coach Eric Gerets, replacing Benoit Cheyrou.
And at half-time, former Liverpool player Djibril Cisse was introduced off the bench in place of another ex-Red, Boudewijn Zenden.
It mattered little and Liverpool were soon 3-0 up. More embarrassing defending allowed Kuyt to run free towards goal after Kewell's pass from the left in the 48th minute the Holland striker smashed home his finish from 10 yards and that was game, set and match.
Marseille's best chance of the game came just after the hour mark when Cisse got on the end of a Valbuena cross.
The striker's header beat Reina but hit the base of the post and went wide.
Benitez used his full allocation of substitutes in the final quarter, and one of them - Babel - added gloss to the scoreline in injury time when he ran onto a long ball, rounded Mandanda and slotted home into an empty net.

Rafa brushes over talk of owner rift
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez insists he is more concerned about facing Manchester United than George Gillett and Tom Hicks.
While United have a date at Anfield on Sunday in a top-of-the table Barclays Premier League clash, there has been no public confirmation of when the talks will be held between Benitez and his club's co-owners, only that they are expected to be this weekend.
The much-heralded meeting follows the fall-out over the new American tycoons' transfer policy.
Benitez was angered by suggestions that perhaps he should stick to training and coaching and leave money matters to others.
He said: 'They want to win, I want to win. We have more or less the same ideas.
'It is just a chance to find a solution to the misunderstanding. I do not have any personal problems with them.
'I think we will have meeting this weekend or next week. I am not sure.
'But I am not worried about this now as we are playing against Manchester United and it will be really difficult. We must think about the game.'
It is understood there has been a considerable thaw in the relationship between owners and manager.
That has been brokered by chief executive Rick Parry and Gillett's son Foster, who has been installed to work alongside Parry at the club.
In addition, Gillett senior was in Marseille on Tuesday night to see Liverpool get the Champions League victory they needed by a thumping 4-0 margin.
The mood around Anfield both on an off the pitch would appear to be positive.
Certainly, Benitez was delighted to see Steven Gerrard set a club record 23 goals in Europe when he scored in France.
'To get that many at that level is difficult but to do it as a midfielder is even harder,' said the Anfield boss.
'It shows his consistency and his quality as a player. He has been around this club a long time. He trains well and plays well.
'I was pleased with his situation after that game in Marseille and what the team in general achieved.
'We played good football and you could see the commitment of all the players. It was good for our supporters to see.'
Republic of Ireland defender Steve Finnan is doubtful for Sunday's game after taking a kick on his calf.
