[closed] Liverpool Rulez!

[James Nga]

My view is that do away with the rotation system. The club's main goal is the EPL forget CL and the others. We paid 20 plus million pounds for Torres and since he is playing well he should play in every PL game. He is paid to play for us as many games as possible. Forget rotation, each time we rotate, the players have to change the style of play or tactics. Rotation should only come in when there are injuries/suspension or significant drop in form for the first 11. Choose the best 11 and play them every week. The other players should understand that the success of the club is bigger than the individual's need to play.

Man U is a good example of always playing their best 11 (unless injury comes into play). Rafa will one day be judged on his rotation policy and it could cause him his job but for now since he is the manager, In Rafa We Trust!


Long live the Tinkerman, Rafa!!!!

Maybe Rafa thinks too much! But sometimes he is a genius...Torres scored a hatrick! even heavily marked by defenders in Carling Cup.

His reason for not playing torres at starting lineup was because to break down the heavily packed defense by birmingham with hard working players like Kuyt and voronin. True enuff they parked the whole bus in front of the goal.

Gerrard in mediocre form still not fully fit after playing for england despite a broken toe.

[jerrychoo2004]

well liverpool better start winning this week or we shall see them in UEFA Cup next year :laugh:

[elvin]

We still have a game in hand tho:D

Torres is on fire! Eventho carling cup but we still manage to crush stubborn Reading 4-2(Mu only draw) Hope he gets to start next game. ;)

[[f]ish]

I am a liverpool fan but it is sad to say that there is no consistency in their performance.
When they are high & we expect them to win, then end up losing

BUT
When you think they will never win, they will rise to the occassion.

Something like our malaysian badminto & footbal team

badminton i not sure, but for football i think no matter we expect or don't expect them to win, they'll bite the dust for sure. zzzz..

Yah, I guess Carling Cup is the ony cup that Rafa has in mind therefore he started with Torres.

I would agree that Torres is a good player therefore Rafa should stick with him to lead the front in Carling Cup only.:p

As for Gerard performance, Blame it to England and McClown. :eek:

[jerrychoo2004]

good mah gerrard not good meh? 100% commitment to england wor... :laugh:

well believe it or not now that rooney is back....owen is back injured i tell u this is act of some bomoh from whatever country don wan england to be at their best!!! :squeeze:

[fishboy]

I believe Rafa is concentrating on the EPL title this season and not Champions League.:confused:w i think he is tired of travelling

[KoChun]

Tired of travelling? Wahahaha. :laugh:

If I were Rafa, I will focus more on EPL also, since Liverpool has not won it for 17 years, or 18 years.

[jerrychoo2004]

errr....draw 2-2 again wor
how ah liverpool? really wanna play in division 1 next season meh :laugh:

[jstanly]

Tired of travelling? Wahahaha. :laugh:

Nope, not the EPL, they are still focusing on Carling Cup or the League Cup.

errr....draw 2-2 again wor
how ah liverpool? really wanna play in division 1 next season meh :laugh:

Rafa did not rotate this time that's why the only manage to draw with Spurs... At least Pool still maintain the unbeaten run in the EPL....:p

[jerrychoo2004]

kesian rafa, rotate or not liverpool just don have the ooommmpppphhhh in the EPL

[elvin]

Aaaiihh......just as expected....just after a few days absence,
manure fans have started flooding our liverpool thread. Well, cant blame them...thats just wat manure fans are good for these days...especially after a few wins...wooihh rancak satu kampung!

But anyway updates for Anfield faithful...& for THOSE who didn't watch the game....

I would say the cohesiveness of our midfield and attack have definitely lacked or backfired from the rotating strategy that rafa have implemented.
At first half we were creating a lot of good chances that we should have
come up 3-0 before half time but Totters hit 1-1 just before the break.
But one thing that glaringly missing was creativity from midfield and lack of
cohesiveness among some players. Biggest culprits : macscherano and
pennant.

We missed a really good chance after torres held up the ball held and pass to an unmarked voronin and robinson at his mercy. Instead of putting the ball in the net, he did the unthinkable by passing it back to gerrard, and boy...poor gerrard he was stunned himself & shot into the onrunning defence. Two word for voronin: Too Cleber. Few misses and chances went begging after that.

Keane and Berbatov were creating problems at the other end with carragher and hyppia clearly putting under-par performance. Slow(hyppia) at times in man marking and clearing danger in the box. Then finally they
capitalised on this weakness...keane got another goal just after the break like almost quick succession. I must say berbatov & keane must have mind-reading.

We were shell shocked and ineefective in creating chances after that...Finally the worst man arbeola and pennant were off the pitch for Babel and Kuyt which they should have been brought on earlier. Almost immediately Anfield have something to hope for where they thot its a first defeat to spurs in dunno n years(cant remember) Kuyt were creating chances and crosses and runs that troubled Spurs defence. Voronin(good riddance) made way for benayoun, choking the midfiled.

We had 4-5 good chances and worked very very hard. Should have equalized thru gerrard or mascherano. But in the end we got our goal..i would say a fine goal it is...Finnan cleverly tricked the defence & loft the ball over to the back of the goal from the right wing & Torres outjumped 2 defenders and crashed the ball into the net to save koppers the blushes.

Verdict: We had to wroked hard for this draw & worked hard did we. Salute to reina,kuyt,gerrard,finnan and torres. I would still prefer crouch/kuyt in front rather than aging voronin. Pennant-very bad performance but deserve a second chance. Mascherano-buck up. Hyppia-pls retire. Carragher's fitness level is ????? AGGER!!!! ALONSO!!! Where r u guys???? Enough of this rotation policy already...next thing to rotate will be you, RAFA!:mad: Learn from wenger! groom the young players!

[elvin]

wah...i din see the match between everton and liverpool. But from the net, when the game was still tied at 1-1 thanks to samy(vellu)hyppia own goal...benitez made a change for gerrard with lucas leiva! OMG! but in the end we still get the result we wanted.

[elvin]

i still underage meh :laugh: i so happy when ppl say me underage nowadays !!

Do you ever get stopped from entering casinos or discos to be checked for age clearance?:laugh:

[jerrychoo2004]

always i tell u, at the age of 27 i still get stopped at discos and genting...really unbelieveable :laugh:

[elvin]

Wow...This Rafa is so daring when he substitued our talismanic captain gerrard with youngster brazilian leiva lucas when the match is still draw and 20 mins to go. Even gerrard was shocked the minute he was called off the field to be replaced.

This time he got his win but will he get the same result if he keep doing what he is doing currently?

Next match Rafa vs Arsenal

Hope Riise will start on the left flank. Riise has been the bogeyman for arsenal all this while

[jerrychoo2004]

what happened? lost 1-2 to Besiktas and left bottom of the Champions League group?
this is just so sad :crying:

[fishboy]

time to get rid of some players:mad:

[elvin]

time to get rid of some players:mad:

i know who! samy(vellu) hyypia!
just see him in the totenham, everton and besiktas match. He helped the opposition to score! makan rasuah ka?

Even Riise was quoting before the besiktas match: No more mistakes allowed. Everton match should be the gauge of the teams performance for this season. So who scored 2 own goals in 2 successive games? = sami hyypia

Of course cannot blame him alone. We had 28 chances and 60% possession but cannot convert them. Really chia lat lo.......:crying:

[jerrychoo2004]

no torres cannot score goal liao?

[jstanly]

It's about time, I popped by chilled can of Carlsberg before I left for work this morning. The feeling was so good. What made it better was Pool is rocked at the bottom of the table. Will they get thru the next stage?? Maybe if Rafa continues to rotate his players. Congrats to Samy Vellu Hypia, he is my greatest pool player.

It's OK, it is only 26 chances made.

Pool still has the League Cup to look forward to since Rafa always field his best 11 during league cup games.

Cheers! Elvin............

Liver...what...you mean Liverfools. Playing at Anfield or ENDFIELD. They need a few more years before they can be a force to be reckoned with, that also if Mr Raba, oops, I mean Rafa, does no screw up with tinkering his team. Good example, Mr Claudio Ranieri. Probably they will do better that Chelsea as the Special Moaner One is gone. :p

With MU's Alex Ferguson and Arse-nal's Arse-ne Wenger going great guns, Liverfool will have to wait. But first, they have to do better than Man City who's doing well under IKEA's countryman, Mr. Cool Sven.

YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE BUT YOU WILL WALK BEHIND MU & ARSENAL.

Great quote there Lynnee - should hv greened you over this post instead! How'bout Ranieri the RAIN/RENAISSANCE MAN?

[lynnee]

Bagi chance? To who? To the Liverfoolians? Oh man, when did they last win the championship....? When did the last time the Kop sent out roars that shatter the confidence of opposing teams....? At least The Goners, oops sorry I mean The Gunners have won a few championships. So I think maybe Fishboy needs some help in getting his facts right.

Hmm, I think Roy Evans, Graeme Souness, Gerard Howler...err, Houllier...they all tried hard. Perhaps, Mr. Raba...err...Rafa should walk down End-Field museum and check out Bill Shankly's or Bob Paisley's journals to learn some patterns of excellence in creating the winning team and learn their patterns of failures so as to avoid pitfalls. Maybe then, the Kop end will roar again. One thing for sure, stop relying too much on Gerrard.

Meantime, listen to the roaring echo from the Emirates and Old Trafford. Fly Emirates and welcome to the theatre of dreams...or nightmares...for opposing teams.

Aiya dun mind them lah... there is no wrong in rooting for our favorite boyhood club. We stick with them thru lose and win. Great to have torres back to the side. Beautiful solo goal against Fulham. Though i still prefer to have babel to start earlier.

We shud play more direct and simple 4-4-2 like the besiktas match. Smart move by rafa moving benayoun on the right flank to replace under-par finnan. Alonso shud come back to play for the next match. :)

Yeah...of course lah...now you enjoy it...wait till you become the receiving end...then we'll not give face too:amused: But sometimes we are also interested what is going on in the club as well rite? If there are more forummers around that have the football brains rather than pure non-sensical bashing then we can share more suggestions and ideas or news. That will be more entertaining.

[elvin]

Rafa seems to be going after racing santander's defender Rayar. He's one for the future. But defenitely not the one to replace Agger...for now.. Hope Mascherano can sign a new deal soon. He's been playing very well lately.

[jerrychoo2004]

how about liverpool finding a replacement for hypia? u still want the slow defender to score goals again meh?

i would choose ferdinand instead of him. I think he is one of the best england has produced besides terry and MU have to fork out crazy n amounts of quids for a defender.

Carragher on the other hand is brave, harworking servant for Liverpool and consistently performed and reliable on breaking attacks even ronaldinho would approve to that. But too bad england chose the overhyped micah richards of M.city instead of him.

No lah kochun, i think i will have to agree with you lah.. ferdinand lapse too much and lack of concentration. over rated. His team mate vidic is better

for kolo toure also not bad but not as rock solid in defence like terry or carragher

[jerrychoo2004]

i would choose ferdinand instead of him. I think he is one of the best england has produced besides terry and MU have to fork out crazy n amounts of quids for a defender.

Carragher on the other hand is brave, harworking servant for Liverpool and consistently performed and reliable on breaking attacks even ronaldinho would approve to that. But too bad england chose the overhyped micah richards of M.city instead of him.

errr don blame england for choosing micah richards.....its carragher himself who don want to play for england anymore

Suddenly England has the chance to qualify for Euro2008 in their hands again ^^...hurray......however we are without rooney and owen :squeeze:
if England lost to Croatia....we can say bye bye to Mclaren

I am an England fan and I am happy that they have been given this life line, but knowing the English press, if England were to beat Croatia the whole country would then go a massive chest thumping exercise and proclaim that they would win the Euro!!!

My view, they will not win it with Mclaren. Lucky to reach semis.

i hope Russia lose to Israel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

some reports are saying england not deserve to qualify even the arrogant but quite guss hiddink. What you think? I just think that in midfield, gerrard and lampard does not combine well. Well you know, midfield leader is lampard's gig not gerrard..

For strikers we have plenty of options just not tested. only crouch is more established. Dean Ashton of villa, endgland's new hopeful cedera parah pulak. But when he's fit, he's quite a decent player

well yah gerrard and lampard not combining well, so if i am the manager i would have opted for gerrard and hargreaves midfield, with lampard and gareth barry as the sub

as for striker....there is a lot of options but whether they can perform or not is another issue.....crouchie......show them who is the ziraffe here!!!!

Hmm, someone said zaman kegemilangan adalah terhad. SAF is basking in his kegemilangan whereas what happened to Roy Evans, Souness, Howler err Houllier and now Raba err Rafa. Even if SAF bows out, it will be a glorious one for taking MU to such heights. Raba...oops...Rafa is groping in the dark trying to figure out which game plan to deploy.

Moan-rinho...or Moan-rhino...yeap, he moaned and he came like a rhino crashing through the EPL taking 2 titles with him but he didn't last. He's a Touch & Go.

There are only 2 managers who are experts in developing young unknown players to become world beaters. They are none other than SAF and Arse-ne Wenger.

Ya, once the greatest football club...thanks to Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley. It was supposed to be MU if not for the Munich crash. Anyhow, SAF walked down memory lane and took hold of Sir Matt Busby's journal and he developed the Fergies Fledglings just like the Busby's babes.

Hey, Liverfool is going through a long dry spell...too long. It's understandable if it's a few years but...perhaps many of you don't know when was the last time the Championship travelled to END-FIELD. It was 1990. That year was SAF's 5th year as MU manager. And he's still around making waves in the EPL. He terrorised Dalglish to quit Liverfool, and also keegan to quit Newcastle, the toon army or foot soldiers. I think Arse-ne learnt from SAF in developing young unknown players.

On paper, Liverfool's players are way ahead of Arse-nal but technically, Arse-nal is much better. Do these players ring a bell...Fabregas, Glichy, Walcott, Adebayor,Flamini, Hleb, Rosicky....

So, let the drum roll to the tune of The Goners...oops...Gunners and the echo from the Theatre Of Dreams...Nightmares ( for teams like Liverfool and Chelski )

[lynnee]

Aisay, the problem with England is that the players are lacking in passion and desire to win.And they talk too much, promising this, promising that. Let their feet do the talking, find the goals first.

As usual, England will either disqualify themselves by playing like scarecrow or they will sneak in through the back door. Look at history. History repeats. There's a saying, " to do the same old thing and expecting different results is insanity". Typical Englishman. Well, that's England...God save the Queen...or McClaren???

[jerrychoo2004]

we shall see how england fare against Croatia .... i am sure england will win :)

i've read your earlier posts and i dont want to comment. But this time i really need to comment on your not so correct remarks lah. Fergie is a great manager no doubt and nobody can deny that since matt bubsy. But do you know when he was once on the brink of facing the sack in the 90's too? Before fergie came in, the last time MU have ever won the league was in 1967. And it took MU almost 30 yrs(hallo?) to take the cup back to OT from andfield in 1993 and 7 yrs after fergie came in if my memory serves me right. He was lucky not to face the sack or else MU would have gone long time ago.

Managers come and go. No big deal. But the club has changed over the years. It took a dragging for a big club like liverpool to shake up after souness and evans era. Houllier had great achievements with liverpool. Winning the treble Uefa, FA and league cup. And not forgetting the European Super Cup and Charity shield all 5 cups in the same year. And all this again done in a paltry sum of club budget which managers at liverpool never get to enjoy like their counterparts at O.T. or stamford bridge and etc. And only this season we can spend more than 10 million pound for a player which Manure, Arse-nal or Chelski can spend without even blinking the eye.

Rafa what more need to say? he has brought great players which r even unknown of like agger, xabi alonso, pennant, kuyt, babbel. won the champions league and finalist in 2 consecutive seasons. He knows what he is doing and has seen success with valencia in doing the la liga and uefa cup double with similar policy. Only not all agree to what he is doing like me. But if he is wrong then why is he constantly linked to real madrid and bayern?

Liverpool players are way ahead of arsenal(hallo? excuse me? do u know ur football?) Liverpool players are ahead not because of the quality but the successes they achieved. Arsenal have better technical players since wenger created a mini france in the middle of london. (((Do these players ring a bell...Fabregas, Glichy, Walcott, Adebayor,Flamini, Hleb, Rosicky....)))-(hello?)for your info, most of the players play for their respective country in the youth ranks when arsenal snapped them up. You never heard of hleb and thomas rosicky? where u've been?

I think Arse-ne learnt from SAF in developing young unknown players. 10 years back name such as michael owen, steven gerrard, jamie carragher, were unknown to the world.

[jerrychoo2004]

Yes...MAN U took 26 years to get the EPL championship in 1992/93
and SAF took almost 7 years to do that since the day he come to MAN U
but u must know just before SAF comes in the club is just above the relegation zone....so still ok....and yes SAF almost got sacked before but he won the League Cup or something that season, so he still remains....(THANK GOD)

As for Rafael Benitez, i must salute him for winning the Champions League, but he still has yet to find consistency to win the EPL


Alka,.......yah i think u r right....England will win 3-1....so guys whoever wanna make some quick bucks....u know what to bet on ;)

Let me do some corrections Also lah................... :laugh: : -

Fergie = Sir Alex Ferguson and Matt Busby = Sir Matt Busby [When was the last time anyone from LePool EVER got knighted from the Queen? Dun forget, we still have another Sir in Sir Bobby Charlton, ex-footie player. Our Club past and present Chairman cannot count lah.... mana tau they "bought" their title???..like many people in our country.......... Hehehehe...... ]

Houllier done it with a paltry sum? C'mmon - If MY memory serves me correctly, Gerrard Houllier spends no less than 80 - 100 Million Quid during his reign. He was known to have a taste for expensive young French and African players (Bruno Cheyrou, Salif Diao, El Hadji Diouf, Anthony LeTellec, Sinama Pongolle, Milan Baros, et. al. aren't exactly cheap or what you would called... "bargain")

Hello? First season to spend more than 10 Million Quid for a Player??? You must have just got back from Mars... How much was El Hadji Diouf? or Djibril Cisse,... by the way????


BTW, I noticed in the case of Man Utd and maybe even for Arse, Charity Shield is not consider part of i.e. Trophy achievements. Well, I can understand Pool's desperation for success so much so that the 5 "Trophies" achieved over 1.5 seasons was all considered under ONE season... Oh Well...

I agreed on ONE Point though - On Paper, Pool possess players superior to Arse. No doubt about that. In fact, it is man against boyz ... almost... Nevertheless, the results so far proves the other way round - Arse being the more consistent team with Pool playing Jekyll and Hyde's game most of the time..

[lynnee]

SAF was lucky not to face the sack not because the club didn't want to sack him but the club knows what he's doing and what he's capable of doing. Remember, before he came to MU, he won the Cup Winners Cup with Aberdeen defeating Real Madrid winning goal scored by Eric Black.

Managers come and go. Of course. No big deal???? Hallo, managers like Souness, Evans, Howler do come and go, not managers like Arsene or SAF. Are you sure the club has changed over the years??? Come on! Indeed it took a dragging for a big fat contented club like liverfool to shake up after souness and evans era. Houllier had not had great achievements, they were mediocre achievements. Winning the treble (Hallo, you call that treble???) Uefa, FA and league cup. To me TREBLE means...Champion Cup, FA and the EPL. Of course, Liverfool is a master in winning the League Cup or the Milk Cup as it was once called. European Super Cup and Charity shield??? Come on, you can't be serious...you want to claim the Charity Shield as one of the trophies to shout about. That's why it's called Charity Shield and not Charity Cup and that's why Arsene and SAF close both their eyes on the Shield.

Rafa what more need to say? Ya, of course he knows what he is doing and has seen success with valencia in doing the la liga and uefa cup double with similar policy.Ya ya ya...it's always the UEFA Cup. Hallo, only teams like Spurs, Newcastle and probably Boro or even Reading are eyeing for UEFA Cup lah. Grow up man Liverfool, don't always think about drinking milk from the Milk Cup. He is constantly linked to real madrid and bayern because Bayern and Madrid are fed up of winning Champions Cup and their domestic league. They want to taste waht's like to win a UEFA Cup.

Liverpool players are way ahead of arsenal(hallo? excuse me? do u know ur football?) There's only michael owen when liverfool struggle but he's ain't there now. steven gerrard? Without him, Liverfool is limping like jumping jack flash.Jamie carragher, still unknown to the world.

Hallo, The Kop is silent. You will never walk alone but you will walk not even next to MU or Arsenal but behind them. Let's see if they can be champions by 2008-2009. 2007-2008.....it belongs to either MU or Arsenal. Chelski.....Abramovic will have to spend some more.....bring in Kaka and Ronaldinho.

Cheers.....

Houllier 6 years reign
100 million-max(like what you quoted, i just maxed it for you) divided by 6= thats 16million pound per year as what you said yourself. el -hadji diouf=10 million cisse=14 million.(so? what is 4 extra million?) that was liverpool policy last time. Now is different. now we have money to spend. Any by the way its not his taste, he is more familiar with his own country and we had limited budget to spend and have to settle for...2nd? 3rd best??? i agree that they are not good buys..

How much was rio ferdinand? how much was wayne rooney? ronaldo? Owen hargeaves? michael carrick??? Do you need me to jog ur memory, MU Fan??? because the list is very long...c'mon....be honest with yourself....

im not talking about club's trophy achievements...lah bacha...did i say that?

With England loss. There's only one lesson to learn...the defence screwed up. Nothing wrong with the midfielders and forwards but the goalie who takes over the mantle as Mr Calamity.

They need to play football by pumping in the goals. The moment they snatched a draw, they've begun celebrating EURO 08 qualification by letting their guards down. Look at the score, 3-2. England came back from 2-0 down but that's all they are looking for because everybody said they needed only DRAW.

The game is not over until the final whistle. That goes to show the players mindset. Easily contented. No passion and desire to score more goals to hit the final nail into the coffin. BAH...same old story...England FAILED to qualify...sack the manager....same old story...typical Englishman...Like I said, God save the Queen...the Queen is always safe...it's McClaren who needs to be saved...his hot seat.

Coming back to Liverfool...let's not find excuses for Houlier...a winner does not give excuses even though the excuses are legitimate. Anyway, it's Rafa's turn...Nowadays, you notice that Liverfool either lose their game or draw. When you do a stock take on the team...it clearly shows that most of the goals are scored by midfielders...like Gerrard. Therefore, there need to be revamp in the defence and attack. I think the attack is quite alright...it just needs some polishing but the defence...a spent force like Mr. Appia, opps, Hyypia and the jester Pepe Reina, catching and hurling the ball into his own net.

Check ur facts before you post

Elvin,

couldn't agree with you more. There has been a surge in Man U fans since the 1990s (you know why). I dont deny that SAF is a great manager but you cannot compare SAF's achievements in the EPF with Rafa or any current manager. Leaving money spend etc aside, its a simple case of how much time one had to mould and build the squad. The EPL due to its passionate fans and worlwide appeal has become a league where the pressure to win constantly is high.

It has been very easy for ppl to slag Houlier for failure to deliver the EPL and making wrong choices in the transfer market etc (all managers including the "great" SAF has done this)., but lets a step back, before Houlier Liverpool were on a down trend that was started when King Kenny left and Souness took over, Houlier won 5 in a year and under his reign we did beat Manure consistently. Houlier bought players (such as Risse, Hypia etc) and gave academy playes (like Owen, Gerrad and Carra) a place in the starting line up. These players (exc of Owen) form the core of Pool.

All Hail 3 Lions....Welcome To South Africa.

Not fair to just blame the goalkeeper/defendrs for the loss. The whole team is to blame. So what if the keeper made a mistake it wasn't like the defenders defended well to prevent the other two goals, it was not like the midfielders were feeding shots to the forwards to score enough and the forwards did not score. The team did not have a game plan. Playing 4-5-1 just showed the team's tactical weakness. When they switched to 4-4-2, two goals were scored and they reverted to 4-5-1 and Croatia scored. My view is that the whole set up from the FA onwards is to blame. The FA for choosing a manager with no international exposure and very limited club level sucess. The manager for not being tactically sound and the players for just not playing to their best ability (not the just the Croatia game but the whole campaign).

Football is a team game and to blame a loss on a one player or just the defenders just shows naviety. P/s apologies if I sound angry or offend anyone (not my intention)

Well said socka, its true where nowadays we live in the world of immediacy. Everything must be in instant result. Man, im not suprised to see Rafa pack his bags if good result still doesnt come in. Not like the older days where managers get to spend longer time building up a good team. As an avid liverpool fan for many years, i believe the turning point came when houllier stepped in and heck, we even believe the year of 01/02 was our year and we were so close. Too bad he ended his days at liverpool with poor results.(But made success with Lyon later part)

When Rafa came in he made it a strong point for the top management at liverpool to see that we really need to spend to get results. Xabi Alonso, Luis Garcia, Bellamy, Crouchie and others. And indeed true, we won the CL and finalists in consecutive season. Plus on top of that, we were the bogey team to chelsea upsetting them in few occasions especially the champions league. Great to have torres to our side and hoping for players like Riise and Gerrard to find back their form. Now for the serious question, how long can rafa stay under the new american owners with his relentless rotation policy? Is the refusal from the owners to sign any more new players another way of telling rafa to stop his rotation policy? Will the ox-stamina javier mascherano be an official liverpool player?

Benítez ready to battle with Ferguson for £10m Garay

Andy Hunter
Wednesday November 14, 2007
The Guardian

http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,2210572,00.html

Rafael Benítez is considering a January move for the Racing Santander defender Ezequiel Garay although, in echoes of his thwarted efforts to sign Gabriel Heinze, the Liverpool manager's attempt to add an Argentinian to his defence may be complicated by Manchester United.

The Liverpool manager has been searching for a central defender who can also operate at full-back since Heinze was prevented from making the journey from Old Trafford to Anfield by a Premier League arbitration panel in August. He has his sights on the £10m-rated Garay, who was linked with United this year, and is contemplating meeting Santander's asking price when the transfer window reopens. Garay, who turned 21 last month, joined the Spanish club from Newell's Old Boys two years ago and won his first - and so far only - cap for Argentina in a friendly against Norway in August.

A centre-half who can also perform at right-back, Garay would initially provide much-needed cover for a Liverpool defence which has wavered at times without the injured Daniel Agger.

Whether Benítez will have funds for Garay and additional signings may depend on the club progressing in the Champions League. Benítez has indicated he may have to sell to buy if the club's US owners concentrate funds on loan repayments for a new £400m stadium.

gratz to Liverpool for winning this week's game :)

gratz to Liverpool for winning this week's game :)

Great game, defence had a another clean sheet and the midfield and forwards worked well together. Torres missed at least 3 chances. I was looking foward to a Crouch/Torres partnership. My view is that Torres need someone to support him upfront and Crouch will be the ideal person to win the ball for Torres in the box. Kuyt always plays a bit too far behind. Main thing 3 points to keep up pace with Arsenal and cutting the lead of Manure. Cant ask for more.

thanks! :D looks like gerrard is hitting back his form.:laugh: But i think rafa is on the way out if he keep arguing with the owners. Or is he doing it on purpose since the transfer cash is not made available to him? Talking about the owners giving full support to liverpool....cheh...cakap saja....:mad:

Me think that too. Actually crouch work with torres better because crouch a bit more creative eventhough his style is a bit weird. Kuyt is everywhere and a bit straight and head on clash with defenders. good outing for babel,kewell and leiva. Great day for stevie G! I like this lineup especially without voronin:D

Sounds like Liverfool only has Elvin and Socka for their pool of fans.Oh ya, not forgetting Fish-boy,who needs to get more info about his beloved Liverfool of 70's and 80's. When a team perform well, give praise where praise is due and when they perform badly, give the whip. Sounds like there's only Liverfool Foot Ball Club to talk about.

If time is needed to mould and build the squad then what is the reason the management sacked all the previous managers? Very true…the EPL due to its passionate fans and worldwide appeal has become a league where the pressure to win constantly is high. If the manager can’t take the pressure, then don’t be in EPL, the Nationwide League is there to welcome you.

A surge of MU fans? Come on, how do you know? Just because people talk about MU? Don't mean that they are MU fans. I can talk about MU or Arse-nal but that does not mean I'm an MU or Arse-nal fan.

Please proof something la, the team from End-field before you start defending profusely of your past managers. The fact remain, no EPL trophy at End-field. Results speak.

England? I think not all players played like kids except for a few. I agree that football is a team competition, however, certain players really do not give their 100%.How can an EPL goalie allow a ball to bounce over his palm into the net???

Liverfool beat MU consistently? Sure or not? Yeap, Houlier bought players such as Risse, Hypia etc ( you mean these are world class players?) The core of Liverfool’s team now is Gerrard. Without him…..???

Not fair to just blame the goalkeeper/defenders for the loss??? So what if the keeper made a mistake it wasn't like the defenders defended well to prevent the other two goals, it was not like the midfielders were feeding shots to the forwards to score enough and the forwards did not score??? Sounds like you are a person who gives a lot of excuses for the failure to qualify for EURO 08. The team did not have a game plan? Are you sure…then what is McClaren there for???

I agree, (though partially) by blaming the FA for choosing a manager with no international exposure and very limited club level sucess.

Football is a team game and to blame a loss on a one player or just the defenders just shows naivety??? Are you sure??? Then if Gerrard scores the only goal that gives Liverfool the trophy, that’s naivety???

It’s very true where nowadays we live in the world of immediacy. Everything must be in instant result. Welcome to the real world…get REAL,guys. I’m not suprised either to see Rafa pack his bags if good result still doesnt come in. Blame the management for not giving him time. When houllier stepped in and heck, you guys even believe the year of 01/02 was your year and were so close. Too bad he ended his days with poor results. But made success with Lyon later part…the reasons are 1. lack of vision on the management part 2. low quality players.

Anyhow, the league is still young and by May 2008, we’ll know where the EPL trophy will travel to. It’s pointless to brag that your team has not suffered any defeats yet. That’s what Arse-nal was bragging about before they surrendered the trophy left their showcase cabinet to another destination.

Perhaps by hiring Moan-rinho, the trophy may travelled to End-field and the Kop shall roar again. If he can do it, why not Raba...err...Rafa.

Cheers...guys. There are the FA Cup, Champions Cup and the EPL to be won. Not forgetting, Liverfool fans are clamouring for the Charity Shield to be listed as one of the major trophies to be won.

Have a sweet week-end and may the team that produces the best performance wins.

CIAO.

I do no know what grudges you may have against the LFC. Maybe someone killed your pet or did bad things to you happens to be a liverpool fan. But please lah... i think your knowledge of liverpool = gerrard and gerrard = liverpool. If that is so, then just hire him alone to play enuff lah. No need to field 11 players loh. Just 1 player will do. I think you need to open your eyes and ears bigger. Gerrard is not the only talented player that we have. Pelisslah... have someone to proof read ur postings lah..

Start by playing more football urself, watch more football not just by reading the newspapers or books. Dun lah go and write some long karangan with your half baked knowledge about FOOTBALL. One look from your karangan already know that u r just rambling without hard facts and definitely never kicked a ball in your life.

Lynee its nice to have you and others on board. That is the passionate supporters (not just fand) to dicuss football.

I still beg to differ on Rafa. He has been in Liverpool for 5 years. He has won the CL and FA cup. In the same 5 years Fergie has won the EPL and Charity shield. Fairly comparable results.

My view on the sudden surge in Man U was not aimed at you cause you appear to a true passionate supporter. but I have come across so many ppl who suddenly became overnight fans of Man U and then switched to Chelski and now back to Man U!

May the better team win.

[elvin]

Good news for Manurians, we manage to get revenge for you by trouncing BOLTON 4-0 :D

Good thing that we can score goals from all department. Kewell and Bennayoun playing very well at the moment. Torres- s-u-p-e-r-b!!!

Next stop marseille, and MU. Get ready for the big game, ppl!

wow!! I miss a lot during the pass few weeks. Took me an hour to read thru this thread from my last posting.

This pool thread is really on fire. Thanks to Lynnee in spicing up this thread. Well it just shows how passionate are ACS forummers with their beloved footie club.

i wonder which team is Lynnee supporting? Care to join the MU Fan Club forum, you are always welcome.

Congrats to pool on the 4nil win over Bolton... and thank you for taking revenge for MU:cheesy:

Cheers and Peace to ALL!!

Haha! you are full of confidence Fish Boy. What a huge embarrassment to all pool fans for losing 3-1 to lowly Reading?? lose by 1 goal can say unlucky but to let in 3 goals is just unforgiven. Guess what Sami Hyppia didn't play this time so don't blame him.:eek:

I guess Rafa started strategic planning for the final CL showdown with Marseille once the ref blew the whistle for kick off with Reading. This CL game must be more important than the EPL.

I hope Pool carry on to play like this when they meet MU in Anfield next weekend.:p

OK, lets have a week of silence in this thread to mourn on the big loss over Reading!! ssssshhhh!!

Cheers!! Have a Carlsberg......

Loosing one nil or 3-1 is still 3 points lost. We may have lost to Reading but we did not loose to Bolton (who we trashed!) AND AND Portsmouth was it...that two losses. double of 1 if my math is still correct! may the better team on sunday win.

[jerrychoo2004]

yup may the best team win on sunday
