Liverpool FC Xtra: Seven Players Who've Played For Both Liverpool & QPR
Quote:
 
Posted Image
1. Sammy Lee
--Sammy Lee broke into the Liverpool side as a teenager and became a stalwart of the great sides of the 1980s. Lee won three successive League championships, culminating in the glorious 1983-84 season when he played every single game, 67 in total. Lee left Anfield in 1986 and spent a year at QPR before moving to Osasuna in Spain. Later had two spells on the Liverpool coaching staff.

2. Neil Ruddock
--Neil Ruddock was an uncompromising defender in Roy Evans' team of the mid-1990s. 'Razor' was a colourful figure in the dressing room, but suffered from injuries and was loaned out to QPR, joining fellow London hardman Vinnie Jones at the club in March 1998. After Gerard Houllier joined the club that summer, Ruddock was sold to West Ham United.

3. Jack Robinson
--Jack Robinson made his Liverpool debut, against Hull, under Rafa Benitez in 2010. He joined QPR in 2014, but amid a high turnover of players at the west London club, he hasn't yet made an appearance, being loaned out to Huddersfield Town this season.

Posted Image
4. Yossi Benayoun
--Yossi Benayoun built a reputation as a classy midfielder with a knack for nabbing important goals and signed for Liverpool in 2007. Notably, he scored a succession of vital goals in the Reds' title push in 2008-09, before leaving the club for Chelsea a year later. He joined QPR in December 2013 and contributed to last season's successful promotion push.

5. Nigel Spackman
--Nigel Spackman was a powerful midfielder who was an underrated cog in Liverpool's exceptional teams of the late 1980s. However, after dropping out of the first-team in the 1988-89 season, he left for QPR where he remained for nine months before heading to another Rangers, north of the border in Glasgow.

Posted Image
6. Paul Jones
--Experienced goalkeeper Paul Jones was signed on loan as cover for the injured Jerzy Dudek and Chris Kirkland in January 2004. A boyhood Reds fan, he kept a clean sheet against Aston Villa in one of his two appearances. He later played 26 games for QPR in the 2006-2007 season.

Posted Image
7. Mark Kennedy
--Mark Kennedy became British football's most expensive teenager when he signed for Liverpool from Millwall in 1995. Despite a promising debut against Leeds, he failed to make his mark at Anfield and left on loan for QPR in 1998, playing nine games and scoring twice. He then moved to Wimbledon before settling down at Wolves.

'Liverpool confidence dented'
Liverpool v QPR (15:00 BST)
Quote:
 
It's the time of the season when we take a good, hard look at contrasting fortunes. In the case of this match, Liverpool are fighting for a place in Europe, while QPR are battling for survival.

But... but... there are similarities because both managers will no doubt be disappointed by how their respective teams have performed - Hoops boss Chris Ramsey maybe less so.

The Reds, who finished runners-up last season, are seven points behind bitter rivals Manchester United, who occupy the fourth Champions League place.

"This isn't a team lacking effort or commitment. They will fight right to the end," Rodgers said of his own team. "We won 10 out of 13 and confidence was high. In couple of big games we fell short and that can dent your confidence."

QPR to wear black armbands

Earlier, QPR published a statement from defender Rio Ferdinand on their website:

"My soul mate slipped away last night. Rebecca, my wonderful wife, passed away peacefully after a short battle with cancer at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London.

"She was a fantastic loving mother to our three beautiful children. She will be missed as a wife, sister, aunt, daughter and granddaughter. She will live on in our memory, as a guide and inspiration."

Many of Ferdinand's peers, colleagues and former colleagues have posted sympathy messages.


...thoughts, condolences and prayers go out to the Ferdinand family on their loss... sad1

"Liverpool are limping to the finish line. Expectancy levels were too high in the first place. The transfer of Luis Suarez and injury to Daniel Sturridge proved too damaging.

"Bad signings have been made. Mario Balotelli has been a disaster, but there is a deeper malaise. The team just doesn't seem ruthless enough to stretch that extra inch for glory.

"QPR fans won't agree of course, but even the diehards must know that escape now is but a dream. They could need three more wins from their final four games. Three of those matches are away.

"They've triumphed on their travels just twice this season and only once, ever, at Anfield - 24 years ago."

....from the BBC's Twitter feed....
-Jonny Gilchrist: As a Liverpool fan who goes home and away to most games that banner is just embarrassing. Short sighted. Not the Liverpool way.
-Michael Powell: Those flying with the banner aren't supporters, just pathetic attention seekers.
