  • Victory Streak Unbroken Hannover96 Vs Werder 1:5
    Victory Streak Unbroken Hannover96 vs Werder 1:5 SV Werder Bremen have driven its winning streak on smooth course when head coach Thomas Schaaf and his team bulldozed the 96ers with a 1:5 landslide victory on the 12th match day of the Bundesliga. Already in the 1st half, a pair of goals crafted by Nelson Valdez and Ivan Klasnic's initial output, had laid the foundation stones of triumph for the visiting side. During second half, Hannover pushed to slash Bremen’s edge through a home side goal swung by Jiri Stajner 1:3. But retaliatory compliments, Klasnic's second conversion, and Fabian Ernst's first goal this season, wrapped-up Werder's victory away from home. Traveling to Hannover without star striker Ailton, Werder marched on the pitch charging the 96ers early on to contain the home side from mounting any game strategy. Midfield spotlighted Bremen threatening Hannover straightaway, surrounding home side with pockets of pressure where escape proved hopeless. Werder’s attempts at direct passing game swelled chances of rushing down the field for early scoring opportunities. This tactic of the Green-White finally hatched a goal after eight minutes when Johan Micoud kicked a corner that was forwarded through captain Frank Baumann’s head, extending goalwards to Nelson Valdez who speared to pluck Bremen’s early lead. Jolted by its visitor's alarming wake-up goal, Hannover bolted upright with more composure and marshaled for the impending round of shooting fireworks that was to enthrall the crowd gathered at the AWD Arena. The 12th minute showed 96er striker Thomas Brdaric launching a header barely missing the goal.

  • 26 December 2014 Opposition: Burnley Competition
    Date: 26 December 2014 Telegraph Echo December 26 2014 Opposition: Burnley Guardian Mirror Burnley Express Competition: League Independent Mail BBC Raheem Sterling’s second-half strike earns Liverpool victory at Burnley Liverpool’s plan to climb out of mid-table mediocrity and into the top four is up and running thanks to a decisive finish by Raheem Sterling that enlivened a forgettable game. With just seven wins from 18 matches there is still work to do in the second part of the season but at least they made a start here, playing a patient game that gradually wore down Burnley’s resistance. In the first half especially Liverpool were a long way from irresistible but they kept possession better the longer the game went on and in Sterling they possessed the sort of matchwinner Burnley would dearly love to have, someone capable of seizing on the most fleeting of opportunities and taking full advantage. Sterling is still learning as a centre-forward, it is not his normal position, and he finished his one opportunity with much more aplomb than he showed in similar situations when one on one with David de Gea in the recent defeat at Old Trafford. “Playing in that position Raheem will get those chances because of his pace,” Brendan Rodgers said. “He’s been working on his finishing and he is learning fast. He showed great composure with his finish, and that’s what I told the players we needed as half-time. As a team we were more composed in the second half.” This is not the easiest of grounds to visit for teams low on confidence and Rodgers will have been pleased to earn three points, particularly as the Liverpool goalkeeping saga took another unexpected twist after 16 minutes when Brad Jones’s “indefinite” stay between the posts came to an end.
