I'll usually do updates in groups of 3, but as I had no access to the internet last night I could not update regularly so I'll update up to October now
Liverpool 1-0 Wigan
We played very well today, and were dominant through-out as you can see with the 20 shots. A well worked move saw Maxi Rodriguez finish cooly past the on-rushing Chris Kirkland to put as ahead on the stroke of half time. All in all a good start to the season.
Liverpool 1-1 Anorthosi (Europa League)
A Europa League qualifier which I had high hopes for. I was hoping to kick on from the win against Wigan but we never got going. It took an own goal to put it past their keeper' who was great on the day. Had to hope we were better in the second leg.
Liverpool 3-0 Newcastle United
A big game for us. Like I said before I wanted to push on and in this one we certainly did. Jovanovic got his first goal for the club when he pounced on a rebound from a Kolarov free-kick. 10 Minutes later Kolarov stepped up once again but this time he curled it round the wall to perfection clipping the post on it's way in. With the game coming to a close I brought on Jonjo Shelvey for his Liverpool debut and he certainly showed why he was at such a big club. He beat 2 men to get to the byline before cutting back to Jovanovic for him to firmly place under diving keeper' Steve Harper. A good result for us.
Liverpool 3-0 Anorthosi (Europa League)
Luckily we were on song today to push on and thrash Anorthosi 3-0. I was proud of the lads today as we had no Gerrard, Torres or Johnson in the squad. Maxi Rodriguez added another 2 to his tally for the season whilst Jovanovic cooly slotted home the penalty won by Carragher. Fair play to the boys, good result.
Liverpool 2-0 Blackburn
A good victory considering 4 reserve players started. Ayala, Shelvey, Itandje and Darby came in and all performed well. Shelvey opened the scoring just before half time. Maxi Rodriguez scored the goal of the month as he skinned 3 players before embarrassing Robinson with a delightful chip.
Liverpool 1-0 Wolves
This game saw our captain Steven Gerrard return, only from the bench but after a month out it was great to see him finishing from 30 yards to give us the win. Would have liked to win by more but a wins a win.

Liverpool 2-1 Birmingham
Our 'other' talisman returned today, Fernando Torres opened the scoring with a bullet header coming from a Kuyt cross. Gallas doubled the lead when a well worked corner found its way to the back post for him to poke in for his first Liverpool goal. The second half began and Birmingham started to apply the pressure and they got their reward after 88 minuted when 6foot8 striker Nicola Zigic scored yet again another great header. 6 Minutes were added on and hearts were in mouths for Liverpool fans as Lee Bowyer turned home from 4 yards, but it was disalowed for offside. It was a good win for us and keeps us unbeaten in the League.
Liverpool 5-2 Lokomotiv Moscow (Europa League)
It was great to see Torres getting back to form as he hit a hat-trick. He certainly made amends for an earlier error which put Liverpool behind. I want to go a long way in this competition so a great result for us all round.
Liverpool 2-1 Arsenal
A first game for us against one of the so called 'Big Four'. A lovely piece of individual work from Jovanovic set up the easiest of tap ins for Kuyt as he put us ahead. In around the 73rd minute Torres was there again to double the lead, relaxing the nerves until Bendnter popped up with a good finish as Fabregas sliced open the Liverpool defence. However we held out to secure a big win.
Liverpool 1-0 Arsenal (League Cup)
The second time in 3 days and we met Arsenal again. This time I opted to bring in a few fringe players and it payed off once again. In the 44th minute Ryan Babel danced his way through the defence before being brought down in the box. Up stepped Philip Degen but Almunia dived to his left to push round the post. With extra time looking ever more appetising William Gallas headed home his second goal for The Reds against his former club. A good victory to send us through to the 4th round.
Liverpool 2-3 Manchester United
A game of many twists and turns and one which I'd have liked to have won, being a derby game and all. Fernando Torres gave us the lead with a good finish from a tight angle. A cheap corner proved costly for Liverpool as Darren Fletcher headed in from a Giggs cross. 3 Minutes later Wayne Rooney popped up to give Manchester United the lead after he and Berbatov played a neat one-two before smashing into the roof of the net. On came Maxi Rodriguez and what a substitution it was as he got the equaliser in the 72nd minute. But there was to be one more twist as Berbatov combined with Rooney once again to break Liverpool hearts and give Man Utd all 3 points.
Liverpool 4-1 Vitoria Sport Club (Europa League)
A good victory in Europe as we push on to qualify from our group. Another Torres hat-trick and a Jovanovic goal gave us all 3 points in which was a close encounter.
