Swansea Tahan Liverpool Tanpa Gol

Kenny Dalglish tidak melakukan perombakan terhadap tim yang memetik kemenangan di laga sebelumnya.

Permainan labil kembali diperlihatkan Liverpool. The Reds harus puas bermain imbang tanpa gol ketika menjamu Swansea City di Stadion Anfield dalam lanjutan Liga Primer Inggris, Sabtu (5/11) malam WIB.

Di pertandingan ini, manajer Kenny Dalglish tidak mengubah komposisi pemain. Nama yang diturunkan tak jauh berbeda dengan skema ketika mengalahkan West Bromwich di laga sebelumnya. Satu-satunya perubahan hanya terjadi dengan masuknya Martin Kelly sebagai starter.

Sedangkan Swansea menurunkan Wayne Routledge yang menggantikan peran Scott Sinclair. Kemy Agustien yang baru pulih dari cedera hamstring selama enam pekan duduk di bangku cadangan.

Sedangkan Swansea menurunkan Wayne Routledge yang menggantikan peran Scott Sinclair. Kemy Agustien yang baru pulih dari cedera hamstring selama enam pekan duduk di bangku cadangan.

Ini merupakan angka pertama yang diraih Swansea jika mereka bertemu Liverpool sejak 30 tahun terakhir. Swansea pantas mengucapkan terima kasih kepada kiper Michel Vorm yang 
tampil gemilang di pertandingan tersebut.

Menghadapi tim promosi, Liverpool sebetulnya mendominasi permainan. Beberapa saat setelah kick-off Andy Carroll sudah menghadirkan ancaman, namun tendangannya masih menerapa mistar gawang.

Sejumlah peluang berhasil diperoleh tuan rumah melalui Luis Suarez, Stewart Downing, dan Lucas Leiva, tapi tak satupun yang berhasil dikonversi menjadi gol.

Di lain sisi, Swansea mampu meladeni permainan Liverpool, kendati tidak memberikan ancaman berarti ke pertahanan tuan rumah. Babak pertama ditutup dengan skor imbang tanpa gol.

Manajer Kenny Dalglish lalu melakukan pergantian pemain dengan menarik keluar Jordan Henderson yang tak efektif di laga ini, dan memasukkan Dirk Kuyt. Hadirnya Kuyt sedikit memberikan perubahan dalam permainan Liverpool.

Swansea mulai memberikan perlawanan kepada Liverpool. Pada menit ke-64, umpan diagonal Nathan Dyer nyaris membawa Swansea unggul. Namun bola muntah tidak berhasil diselesaikan dengan baik oleh Danny Graham.

Dua menit sebelum pertandingan berakhir, Kuyt berhasil menjebol gawang Swansea setelah menerima umpan dari Daniel Agger. Tapi gol ini dianulir wasit, karena menilai Kuyt terlebih dahulu dalam posisi off-side, sehingga tidak mengubah papan skor hingga pluit panjang ditiupkan.

Stewart Downing believes Liverpool team-mate Jose Enrique deserves call-up to Spain squad

The left-back has never been selected to represent his country but his colleague at Anfield believes his form this season merits him a starting place against England

EPL : Jose Enrique, Liverpool v Sunderlan

Stewart Downing says his Liverpool team-mate Jose Enrique deserves a call-up to the Spainside that will take on England in a friendly at Wembley later this month.

The Three Lions host the European and world champions on November 12 with Downing expected to be part of the England squad.

The former Aston Villa and Middlesborough winger moved to Merseyside this summer, alongside Enrique.

The left-back has been an ever present since leaving Newcastle, playing every minute of the 10 Premier League matches he has been available for.

So far the 25-year-old has not been recognised by his national side, but Downing believes his excellent form for the Reds means he deserves a long-awaited call-up to the national side.

"Jose is a talented player and has done very well since he's come here," Downing told BBC Radio Merseyside.

"He must have a great chance of getting in the Spain squad and maybe he will be lining up against England.

"I enjoy playing alongside him and I think you can see we're gelling as a team"

Gerrard already has two daughters, seven year-old Lilly-Ella and Lexie who is five and the midfielder said soon after the birth: “Both mum and baby are doing well.”
A spokesman for the couple said: “Steven and Alex would like to thank the media for respecting the privacy of their family at this time.”

Liverpool's 18-year-old left-back Jack Robinson has spoken of his joy at penning a new long-term deal at Anfield.

The promising defender, who has made five senior appearances having become the youngest ever player to represent the club after coming on as a substitute against Hull on the final day of the 2009-10 season, has seen first-team chances limited following the arrival of Jose Enrique this summer, but was eager to sign a new deal.

"I'm delighted," he told the club's official website.

"I was going for my lunch and I saw Damien [Comolli] on my way through. He pulled me to one side and said the club wanted to offer me a new contract.

"There was no doubt in my mind, I was just so excited the club were offering me a contract.

"I've just got to keep working hard in training. I can't just sit back on this contract. I've got to keep improving and showing people what I'm about."

Liverpool midfielder Charlie Adam followed up the announcement by taking to social networking website Twitter, saying: "Good too see Liverpool signed up another young player in Jack Robinson – one for the future."
