Frustrating indeed! For 90 mins, the options were everywhere but ........

Fernando Torres · #**4442** 23-09-2007, 01:35 PM

Another 2 points dropped. Can only hope that we dun get left too far behind.

Have faith. Its just a glitch.

Sigh... Had your overhead kick gone in, the media would have praised Rafa's great decision to bring you on when legs were beginning to tire... Sigh...

Rafa blames England for Gerrard's poor form

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez believes Steven Gerrard is paying the price for his recent outings with England.

Gerrard played in both Euro 2008 qualifying wins over Israel and Russia, despite being a doubt with a broken toe.

And Benitez told the Liverpool Echo today: 'It could be that playing twice for England has had an impact.

'They (England) knew (what I felt about him playing in both games) - but everyone was talking about how important this situation was for England.'

Gerrard came off with cramp after 71 minutes in the win over Israel before playing the full game when Russia lost at Wembley four days later.

Since his return from international duty, the 27-year-old midfielder has seemed to be struggling for top form, while Liverpool have failed to impress in goalless draws against Portsmouth and Birmingham.

Gerrard came on as a substitute in the 0-0 draw at Fratton Park but started last week's 1-1 draw with Porto in the Champions League as well as Saturday's Anfield clash against Birmingham.

Benitez added: 'His national team is England but it is clear that these players cannot play every game for 90 minutes.

'Gerrard was not 100% physically fresh, I don't mean fit but fresh.

'In these kind of games you need to keep the tempo really high and if you play too many games in a row for 90 minutes, especially if you are not fit then normally you have problems.'

READING V LIVERPOOL: STAT ATTACK

Here are all the stats and facts ahead of tonight's Carling Cup third round clash with Reading.

Liverpool's League Cup record: Pld 197 Won 117 Drawn 42 Lost 38 Goals For 401 Against 183.

Liverpool have won this trophy on a record seven occasions, the last being in 2003.

They have also appeared in the most Finals-ten.

The Reds have been involved in four penalty shoot-outs in this competition.

In the first they lost away to Wimbledon in 1993. Since then they have won against Birmingham in the Final in 2001, at Anfield against Ipswich in 2002 and in 2004 they overcame Tottenham at White Hart Lane.

Last season, Liverpool progressed to the last eight before losing 6-3 at home to Arsenal.

Earlier in the 2006-07 campaign, the two sides met for the first time in their history in any competition with Liverpool winning 4-3 at Anfield in Round Three. They led 3-0 through Robbie Fowler, John Arne Riise and Gabriel Paletta. Andre Bikey and Peter Crouch then made it 4-1 before Leroy Lita (81 mins) and Shane Long (84) made Liverpool sweat for the win. The last four goals of the game came in eight minutes.

The Reds then beat Birmingham 1-0 at St Andrews in Round Four thanks to a Daniel Agger goal.

Liverpool also met the Royals twice in the league last season winning 2-0 at Anfield (Dirk Kuyt 2) before completing a Premiership ‘double' 2-1 at the Madejski with Kuyt scoring an 86th minute winner after Brynjar Gunnarsson had equalised Alvaro Arbeloa's first goal for the Reds.

There have been 13 hat-tricks scored by Liverpool players in this competition with the last being scored by Robbie Fowler at Stoke in November 2000.

Julio Baptista playing for Arsenal last season, when scoring four times at Anfield became the first opposing player ever to score a hat-trick against Liverpool in the League Cup.

Liverpool have never conceded a hat-trick away from home in this competition.

The last Liverpool player sent off in this competition was Emile Heskey back in 2001 against Chelsea at Anfield.

Only Steven Gerrard of the current squad with six, has scored more than twice in the League Cup for the Reds.

Alvaro Arbeloa, who is the only outfield player to play in every minute of Liverpool's season so far, scored his only goal for the Reds on this ground last April.

It is almost ten years since the Reds last failed to score in a League Cup tie (at Middlesbrough in 1998). Since then they have found the net in 30 successive League Cup games.
