Eds, if you have time to get away from all the transfer news, would love your opinions on a a few ex players. Firstly Berger- thought he was brilliant for us and was gutttd when he left though it seemed injury had got the better him at that time. The other 2 are clough and leonhardsen. Both I was excited to sign, had been massive success's at prior clubs. Did okay for us but where did it go wrong? Wrong system? Wrong manager? Wrong positions? Just not good enough? Thanks for any reply.

{Ed001's Note - I remember Paddy Berger well, me ma was obsessed with him. Hammer of a left foot, great skill on the ball and a genuinely nice lad who loved Liverpool. Injuries and poor coaching did not help him make the most of his talents though. He had pace and skill but was badly used.

I was never a fan of Clough, he had all the pace of a slug towing a caravan. He was just not quite good enough for us quality wise. Not far off, but that step down in class that saw us drop away from being a dominant force.

As for Leonhardsen, he was just a workhorse with no real quality at all from what I saw. Nowhere near good enough and was a poor buy.}

I used to think Titi Camara was good and underused.

Goes to show how much of a poor manager and coach Ged was.

The most underused and wasted player we signed had to be Jari Litmanen. Loved that guy and was so happy when we signed him but was hardly played given his calibure and skill.

My auntie started screaming Patrick when we seem him in Southport and made me grab his autograph. He was very kind and polite though and even give her a kiss.

I remember listening to the radio during the matches just to hear the commentators say "berger shot"

Ged. Who won 5 trophys in a season?

Gerrard also puts a lot of his career down to him. like taking him and his family for a meal and telling hin how he had to live his life as a professional. Maybe without that chat gerrard would of done everything he did.

Thanks for the reply Ed, always thought Berger was wasted being pushed out wide. liked him in the centre. you're right about Clough great talent but didn't improve with us and always seemed to fall a little short. oyvind I don't remember much about other than he used to score loads at Wimbledon but nothing for us!

{Ed001's Note - Berger was defo better centre, we never got him involved enough out wide and he was not a winger.

Clough I am not so sure he was a great talent. He was over rated imo. Good player, but not good enough. To me he was one of those overhyped because they were English players.

As for Leo, he was just not good enough to deal with a passing game, give him a breaking ball to run onto and smack and he was fine. Expect him to get involved in build up and make clever runs to create space and he was completely lost.}
