Liverpool hold back big spenders!
Man City 1-1 Liverpool
Steven Gerrard (87)
Match Report: Man City were the better side in the first half. They created quite a few chances and should of had a bigger lead at half time. But then in the 2nd half Liverpool came out of the blocks and put lots of pressure on City until Gerrard slotted home a great cross from Kadlec.
MOM = Steven Gerrard

Liverpool push there way past Fulham
Liverpool 2 - 1 Fulham
Cole (41)
Babel (45+1)
Match Report: Liverpool did create more chances than Fulham and overall probably deserved to win the game. However Fulham did keep possesion well, moved the ball around quickly amd making the Liverpool players work for the ball and they did deserve their goal which came on the 60th minute from Moussa Dembele.
MOM = Ryan Babel
Manager's thoughts on August results:
"Im delighted with the way my second month in charge has gone. We are unbeaten in the Premiership and EUROPA League so that is a positive, Babel and Gerrard are both playing extremely well, and now im just looking forward to getting Torres back from injury."
