FIVE-STAR REDS END THE YEAR ON TOP
Liverpool will head into 2009 top of the Barclays Premier League after a double from Steven Gerrard and other goals from Sami Hyypia, Ryan Babel and Xabi
Alonso (penalty) secured a 5-1 win at Newcastle United.
Liverpool cemented their place at the Premier League summit with a ruthless demolition of Newcastle United.
Just a day to rest but the Liverpool shouldn't loose the game against Newcastle. My Torres might be playing in that game miss him so. But the team is doing great without him that's good to know
with back it'll be extra to the team.
What about Robbie Keane finally scoring for the Team two goals against Bolton? It's just need a little more patient from him and the fan.It's just a matter of times. And finally it isn't a tied
game.
Manager Rafael Benitez could return to the Liverpool dugout for the Boxing Day clash with Bolton.
Benitez is still recovering from a kidney stones operation, but is expected back on the
bench at Anfield.
Fernando Torres is set to miss a sixth game in a row despite making "markedly improved" progress from his hamstring injury, says assistant boss Sammy Lee.
"He
improves with every training session and he has worked very hard on his rehabilitation," Lee said.
"He is getting better. We will put him in when we see fit."
If Torres does not
make the holiday programme, with the Reds also away at Newcastle on 28 December, they are likely to retain Robbie Keane up front with Steven Gerrard as a support striker.
Liverpool will be without the services of Emiliano Insua for the next month due to his participation in the Under-20 South American Championships with Argentina in Venezuela.
The left back,
who has started the last four matches in the first team, will be away until February 8 meaning he won't be available for this weekend's game with Stoke, the double header with Everton, the trip
to Wigan or the Anfield clash with Chelsea.
Joining Insua in the tournament will be reserve defender Ronald Huth who will be representing Paraguay.
The tournament runs from January
19 until February 8, and is staged every two years.
