Nice one Villa. Although i'm glad Liverpool equalised in the end. Good old Crouchy boy. He still won't start in the next game though.
:
Spot on.
I'm absolutely sick and tired of Voronin and Kuyt rotating as the 2nd striker and poor Crouchy not getting a look in. He came on yet again and saved us in no more than 10 minutes. Imagine what he could do with a string of matches in a row. **** sake, just play him Rafa.
Carragher is vastly over-rated and was never picked by England for a reason. He threw a paddy because he is an icon in Liverpool for his un shurking loyalty and a decent Premiership ability to defend. He is however nowhere near world class, not at all. That statement is absolutely ridiculous. You're seriously telling me that he is up there with the likes of Maldini, Nesta, Puyol etc. What a joke.
Agger has the potential to be world class, but he's still young and learning. He isn't world class yet. He's had one good season and one so far interrupted by injury and he's being hero worshiped already.
Alonso has been awful. Had a good season or two but has done nothing season. Has really gone off the boil, showed world class passing but as a total player it is highly debatable.
Mascherano isn't yours and if you don't buy him soon he will never be.
Actually, most Liverpool fans were so far up the Americans arse they were making the speeches. It was all "We're finally going to be able to compete with United etc etc" The Americans have actually done some good for your club. They're increasing revenue, they have liant business minds. It's not their fault that the manager has been tactically inept and bought awfully in the summer and so they cannot trust him to spend money without recouping it this window.
I respect your opinion but you're totally in the wrong here. Carragher is a defender yes? His main duty in the team is to defend and just defend. And for me he is world class at that. How many times over his career has he saved us with last ditched tackles? The guy is an exceptional defender.
Please tell me how he doesn't make "world class" status.
Xabi has hardly been on the pitch all season. How you can judge him on the occasional minutes he's had is beyond me. No players in this world, no matter how good they are, play brilliant Football when they haven't touched a ball for months or are not match fit.
Masch will be staying at Liverpool, no doubt about that. We're currently in the process of selling Momo which will fund money to keep Masch on a permanent basis.
The Yanks have done some good for our club? Oh c'mon, get real. Firstly they've had a feud with Rafa, and then Hicks comes out publicly and says they've had a meeting with Klinsmann about a possible move to Anfield with Rafa out the door. They had no right to make that public. They have no idea at all with how to run this Football Club. Everyone who is a "REAL" Liverpool fan wants them out. Don't count OOT'S who mostly know nothing about the club.
I'm glad someone's mentioned Alonso. I say it all the time to my Kopite mates this season that he's been awful and that players like Arteta and Fabregas have been a class above him this season. Yet all I get in return is the usual kopite response "We've won it 5 times, you've never won it, we're the best team in the world etc etc".
Sigh.
Arteta and Fabregas have played just about every game this season. How can you judge Xabi's season when he has hardly stepped on the pitch? You can't compare him to those players when he hasn't played. Fool.
Xabi is a regular for Spain. The last time l checked, Arteta hasn't registered a cap.
By the way...
5 times mate.
First of all, when did I say that was the first team ffs!? I stated it was back-up - reserves. I wonder how much you know about Liverpool or football in general when you say Agger is a rock!?
I'm (not) sorry, but what decent, Europe-qualifying team would accept any of those players?
You have no back up. Your bench is incredibly average with the likes Voronin, Pennant and Lucas. Seriously, wake up and smell the ****-smelling coffee.
As for the Top 4 being a class above the rest, since Liverpool are in 5th, I wouldn't argue with that.
real Madrid sign everyone. Everyone.
You said they were our "bench" and if you didn't know, the bench is apart of the first team. Pretty obvious if you ask me.
You never stated they were reserves mate. You said "bench" which is indeed not reserves but players in the first team squad who are good enough to play in the first team.
Going by your first few posts, l'd put my head on the line and confidently say my knowledge of European Football and Football in general terms is alot greater than yours. Try prove me wrong though.
Lucas is a great talent and he'll be a great box to box midfielder one day. You obviously don't realise he was named the Bola de Ouro winner (best player) last season in the Brazilian League. Previous winners have included the likes of Zico, Romario, Kaka,Tevez and Robinho. And the lad has also captained Brazil at the Under 20 squad. Some future he has if you ask me.
I'll give you Voronin and Pennant. Both need to improve drastically to remain at Anfield.
Yes we're in 5th at the moment but it's not crisis time. 2 points away from 4th with a game in hand will do me for the time being. I see no problem with finishing 4th and winning the European Cup again.
Utter bull****. You bent over and welcomed them with open arms when they first came. You believed every word they told you. Which made you look like fools after how you acted after the Glazers got Manchester United. Your Yanks are better than our Yanks eh?
Nonsense.
There were the odd part time fans who were happy with the prospect of money flowing in and the staduim being built but there are alot more issues that arise than that with takeovers. The real fans were generally unsure of what to make of it. Our club is full of tradition and history and with new owners having control of our wonderful club, it was hard to get a grip of. And now our uncertaintly has become a reality.
And United, Chelsea and Arsenal have been injury free all season.
