Pre-Season Friendly. Liverpool 3 Werder Breman 2

Liverpool 3-2 Werder Bremen - All the goals and highlights

2 goals from new signing Andriy Voronin and a thunderbolt from John Arne Riise secured a third game win for Liverpool so far in preparation of the new season. Defensive mistakes which allows Breman scoring 2 as well.

Andriy Voronin, a free transfer signing, has been proving to everyone that he's not coming to Liverpool to sit on the bench. As he says before, he's going to a fight for his place in the team. Impressive for the past few games for Liverpool and he scored 2 goals against a good German side last night.

I didn't watch the game, but based on the highlights, he looks really lively in the game and seems to be on the spotlight now. Many would have think that he was bought to provide backup to the team, the 4th striker perhaps? I'm afraid not, based on such performances. He's telling Rafa that he's going to give him a big headache despite the arrival of Fernando Torres.



Torres did pretty well coming on for Voronin. Had 2 great chances to score but didn't have the finishing touch. Still, it's a great to see him playing for us in a Liverpool shirt. He fought hard, and looking great on the pitch. It's still pre-season and it's normal to see players not performing to the best yet.

Pre-season games are just games for the players to step up their stamina and fitness. It's still very early to predict anything. Of course, winning these friendly games also shows that the team is working hard for the season and I hope this goes on for a great start.

Liverpool has to start really early and can't afford to lose any points even in the beginning. The standard of the league is getting higher every year. We don't have the luxury of making mistakes early and winning the league later. By the time, we are just like before, fighting for third place. Liverpool is not a 3rd place team, they ought to be up there fighting, winning more trophies.

I don't hope for more, but having said that, I do hope Rafa will us something we haven't experience for a long long time.

You'll Never Walk Alone..
