Liverpool F.C. — Best pictures!

Liverpool’s Dutch international Dirk Kuyt returned in the FTBL Top 23 of the Premier League after the Reds’ win over Everton, but how long can he remain in the elite group?

Valencia forward Juan Mata had a daunting plank of 23 rating points to beat in the Europa League game against French side Lille, which he did partially with a 3:1 win and goal, earning 17.54 rating points.

Liverpool’s skipper and England international Steven Gerrard (pictured left) returned in the top tier of the FTBL world ranking of midfielders after a bout of bad form and injuries that lasted 2 months with a 2:0 win over Everton yesterday.

Arsenal keeper Manuel Almunia (pictured) rose to the top 3 of the FTBL ranking of Premier League goalkeepers, as we predicted, after keeping a clean sheet as the Gunners convincingly defeated Standard Liege 2:0 in the group stage of the Champions League

As Liverpool continue to struggle in the Premier League and qualification to the playoff in the Champions League continues to be elusive, they will need a win when they travel to Hungary tomorrow to take on Debreceni VSC.
