Use our rumours form to send us liverpool transfer rumours.

12 Feb 2011 23:09:40
Sorry ed, have we signed marvauex are not? {ed's note - we can't sign him until the summer, but we have agreed a pre-contract I am told. Though I won't believe it has actually definitely happened until the official announcement comes.}

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 23:09:46
Ed does he mean rauls sick that needs clearing up:)!

 

 

 

 


12 Feb 2011 23:10:31
{ed's note - Everton are not in a position to refuse decent offers but they would take somebody else's money if they matched our bid.}

Who in the primer league needs a left back? United have Evra, Chelsea have Cole, Arsenal have Clichy and Gibbs, Tottenham have Ekotto, Liverpool have Konchesky. There's no other club that would spend there entire transfer budget on a left back. {ed's note - have you not seen Ekotto play? He is simply nowhere near good enough and Spurs do want to replace him.}

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 23:30:14
Please post.

sorry fellow lfc fans but we need to get realistic.
we will need a miracle to get 4th.

its simply down to the players we have:

lucas - ok for a championship side *fact*
skrtel - ok for a championship side *fact*
poulsen - why why why why?
kuyt - lost his legs, now hes useless.
jovanovic - why why why why?
maxi - simply not good enough *fact*
ngog - the name says everything *crap*
auralio - too old - not good.

these players wouldn't get in a wigan team but yet they are our first team players. joke

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 22:57:51
ED, can u clear up the whole marveaux thing for me? Cheers! {ed's note - I am sorry you have lost me, clear up what? Sorry if I am being dense but I am not sure what there is to clear up.}

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 23:02:01
Totally agree, Ngog absolute useless, I thought Kenny would've identified how bad he is. I knew the writing was on the wall the second he was brought on. He runs like one of those characters off star wars and my three year olds got more strength. We lost all shape and balance as soon as he came on.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The whole team fell apart when Meireles had to leave. We were basically playing a 4-3-3 with Kuyt, Suarez and Meireles all attacking and a workmanlike midfield of Lucas, Maxi, Aurelio. Kuyt was playing in the one role he can excel in now. Up front in the middle where his job is to chase everything down, work hard, make the defense work and hold the ball up for attacking players to come from deeper. Its what hes been doing and playing well at for the last several games. Against Stoke and Chelsea it was Gerrard and Meireles playing off him, today it was Meireles and Suarez. When Raul had to leave it just left too much for Suarez to do. Its hard to play well when 3 of your 4 best attacking players (Carroll, Meireles, Gerrard) are all out of the game.

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 22:41:36
Ngog not good enough should of just had kuyt up on his jack, i am so pissed off why can't we beat wigan, are players taking these sides for granted must be, wolves, blackpool twice, wigan, season after season.

Should of stuck with the 3 CBs that way a least we have wingers and the greek would have caused danger in corners. What you think ED mc

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

We didint have the players available for 3 centre backs. The Greek wouldn't compliment that formation.

Ed if you read the post match chat on the Liverpool website the first story the raul and luis one it says it there

Rob the red {ed's note - thank you mate, I will go read it now.}

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 22:28:12
Raul was taken off due to a sickness bug he was sick at half time no injury as such kk told in post match chat

This post did put a smile on my face BUT not including Xavi is
wrong and I wouldn't have the MASSIVELY overrated Rooney on a free
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I think you have things a bit backward here mate. Xavi is massively overrated. Yes he can make 10 yard passes and those short through balls that Barca thrive on. .but that is all he does. People call him the best midfielder in the world but I would put Gerrard, Schweinsteiger, Alonso, Essien and even his teammate Iniesta in front of him because they are all more complete footballers.

And I understand a dislike of Wayne Rooney because he is a blue nose and plays for the Mancs to boot. But to call him overrated is barmy. Did you see tha goal today!? He is without doubt one of the 3 best strikers in the world.

Anfield Rapstar {ed's note - Xavi is the best midfielder in the world, he does far more than thread 10 yard passes. His defensive positioning is amongst the best in the world and his work rate is immense, almost Kuyt-like. To suggest he is overrated is madness!}
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Rooney one of the top 3 strikers I'm the world? Are you pissed? He's only just the third best striker at united! True a stunning goal today but where is the consistency? He was bloody awful for the rest of the game. As he has been most weeks this season.

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 22:09:25
Ed do you know the extent of Meireles's injury?

hibsylfc {ed's note - no mate, it takes a while for the full extent of injuries to become clear usually, I wouldn't expect news until tomorrow afternoon.}

Look it was 1-1 I saw the game and a couple of inches and we would have won 3-1 and our new number 7 would have got 2 goals I did not think we missed Torres I saw a new anfield hero in the making in luis and its been a long time since I have seen someone as skilful I remember standing on the kop when I was 15 watching Paul Walsh he was a skilful player but didnot quite do it at anfield. luis today reminded me of those days. to everybody worrying if we are going to make 4th place let's take each game at a time and enjoy some fantastic football you never know!

Scoreline did not reflect the game. They played well today. That Suarez was a bargain! I think Dalglish may see him as his succesor hence the No 7 shirt.

Really really good effort all round.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Would not have worked against a 3 man attack. Either our wingbacks have to mark the wide forwards, which would weaken them going forward anyway plus we'd have 3 centerbacks marking only 1 center forward, which is a waste of man power. Or we have the 3 defend against their 3 forwards which would leave only 1 defender in the middle against their center forward which leaves us too open for midfield runs and puts too much pressure on the center defender.

We had to play a traditional 4 man defense today.

 

 

 

 


12 Feb 2011 20:33:02
The ref's haven't been very kind to us this last month.

Gave United a pen which wasn't
Had a pen denied against Blackpool
Had an onside goal disallowed against fulham
Everton's first goal wasn't a corner
Everton's second goal was a foul on Kelly
Wigan had an offside goal given today

All these incorrect decisions has been given from matchs within a month. I know people say that the decisions level out over the season but I don't believe it, the ref's have not been kind to us in recent years.

What Liverpool need to get in British Player (True Grits and never giveup and 100%)
Forget about the Foriegn Player they just bundle of mercenaries.(No Loyalist and over paid)

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 20:42:33
I agree , whoever posted this knows what there talking about. . REINA brilliant keeper
KELLY brilliant player his best days are still to come
SKRTEL not a bad defender! a bit underrated i think!
CARRAGHER excellent defender and if he plays every match for the rest of the season second most caps for liverpool
JOHNSON showing signs of improvement but still not really good enough !
AURELIO not good enough but good when he wants to be !
LUCAS improving :)
KUYT has a brilliant work rate and is a much better striker than a winger !
MEIRELES liverpool's best player at the moment! banging in the goals and putting everything into his performances!
RODRIGUEZ not great but will have to do for now !
SUAREZ what a player he will be at anfield! honestly think he will be better than torres alone and will be at his best when carroll is back !
JOVANOVIC we need to get rid of him! terrible !
NGOG good start to the season but think we should sell him now !

SO IF YOU LOOK AT IT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ABOUT 3 PLAYERS THAT PLAYED TODAY WE HAVE A GOOD PROMISING TEAM FOR NOW AND THE
FUTURE! what do you think? please comment took me ages

 

 

 

 


12 Feb 2011 20:52:46
I think we should stop dreaming of european football next season and be gratefull for the points we got, 3 more wil def se us stay up.
The reallity is that we could actually loose the next 6 games, very very difficult games.
I think Kenny knows this, and mabye the focus will actually be on the Uefacup now, that's mabye why Gerrard wasn't playing today? ?

This is a dark thought, but it could be reallity, hope not.

But the biggest tasks ahead is not the games, it's the CEO and the stadium. We wan't to hear something soon? ?

Prime example of what i'm talking about!
Why no British or Irish players on this list?
Is Kjaer really that much better than Cahill for example? If so, why did England beat Denmark?
Hazard is a top player but unrealistic said himself he will go to Arsenal / Italy. Sanchez is a Manure fan supposedly so unlikely (but who knows).
Why not buy British & Irish?
Just don't understand the foreign player is better mentallity (except for the crazy prices).
Irish Kev
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
There are not many british players who posses the quality we need and are available. Cahill is nothing special either!
The only british player who is available and would be a quality signing is a.johnson.

ED , do you think we will finish 4th or 5th this season? and do you think we will spend big during the summer ?please answer both ed :)

{Editor's Note: I am going to say 6th and buying will depend on sales, so not too "big".}

do you think any of the big names we are linked with like bojan , benzema , coentrao etc will come in the summer? please comment ed :) {ed's note – it is far too early to tell, there is a chance but it is months away and decisions aren't made in February.}

I'm not about to start criticising King Kenny after one disappointing result but what does Pacheco have to do to get a run before Ngog?

Even if Pacheco came on and did absolutely nothing, that would be still be at least as much as Ngog would do.

Today's game was crying out for something different and we all know what we are going to get with Ngog – no passes, no shots, no hold up play, no goals and the usual Invisible Man impression.

Think about it . we were all thinking we were getting relegated around christmas time. a couple of games/ weeks on we are hoping for champions league football (very unlikely). i would be delighted if we finished fifth/ sixth this season considering what we were like before christmas and last season! so things are looking up even if we don't get CL football. king kenny is looking likely to get the job long term and we will look to improve our squad (hopfully attacking and our width) in the summer! so don't look at the negative side look at the bright side!
YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE ED? :)

ED , i don't think we have much of a chance at champions league for next season. i think we could do it next season if we get the quality on the wings but not this season! whats your thoughts ed? {ed's note there is still a chance of 4th.}

i have faith in kk but i just think we are too far behind the likes of chelsea, spurs and man city !
i mean unless amazingly chelsea go on there winless streak again after the last time we beat them i just can't see it happening! your thoughts on that ed? {ed's note all the teams are capable of losing points.}

ye but ed haven't said that so can we drop points and considering spurs won today that gives us even less chance. i think we could finish 5th about 4 points behind 4th place. what about you ed ?

S. Kjaer. Wolfsburg
D. Santon Inter
E. Banega Valencia
S. Defour Liege
K. Honda CSKA
A. Turan Gala
A. Sanchez Udinese
E. Hazard Lillie {ed's note it is February, every single one of those players could pick up long term injuries or catch malaria or anything in the next few months. Questions like these are pointless right now.}

How does our team delegate kick taking responsibilities?
Obviously it is usually Gerrard which makes sense because he is one of the best in the world with a dead ball (although he has not produced any magic recently). Then aurelio is very good when it is on the right side or in the centre. But I was shocked to see Maxi take that free kick today and I knew exactly what was going to happen. Why the hell was he allowed to take that when Suarez was on the field. Suarez is very good with a dead ball and I think if he had had another chance he would have scored – could not get any closer than he did without it going in. Ed any ideas on my question above.

I for 1 wants lfc 2 finish 4th this season if that is not possible id rather we finish 8th out of that gammy europa league and concentrate on the league for next season

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 19:04:34
The Match:
Johnson at fault for the goal (which was also defo offside) through lazy, poor positional play. I sit right at the corner of Main Stand and Kop in line with the touchline and saw his lack of concentration today. At one point he rolled the ball out for a corner while trying to control it it was pathetic, then he tries to argue it didn't go out he stood picking his arse all game.
Kuyt was dreadful, can't cross, can't get passed a player and is slower than a oil tanker, work rate yes end product no.
First half one man to get a pass round to free Suarez on goal and he hits the defender, he dwells on the ball and never plays the easy pass, instead he tries something clever and gets caught in posession by turning into trouble. Maxi is exactly the same.
Kevin Freind is not a premier league quality ref. Todays display should see him in League two at best for the rest of the season. He can take the Main Stand side Lino with him as he couldnt even keep up with play.
Still reality check perhaps, we are still work in progress and fourth is still possible. Point gained given the injuries and Raul being sick.

Could anyone please tell me how to watch football on a iPad? As you can't install google chrome and flash player is unavailable.
dunno ive been trying to find out aswell, but i always have to go on laptop or pc to watch the footie
Apple restrict anything that they have not made or sponsor etc

the ipad will be similar to the iphone, log onto veetle.com and you will be able to select from plenty of channels, the main problem you will find is that a lot of english games are being removed very quickly due to copyright claims.

Not watched the game yet how did little luis do ed ? {ed's note – he played well, linked up play and made himself some chances, all he lacked was a goal. Hit the post and the bar too.}

12 Feb 2011 17:40:15
I missed the first 15 20 mins of second half. From what I saw we played well in the first half after a troubled start. Wigan kept the ball and pressure on us early. But we started looking good and again it was great technique by meireles to score the volley. Guess it wasn't Suarez's day today in terms of finishing but he was excellent in terms of link up play, was full of tricks and was making things happen rather than waiting for chances. Think Aurelio, kuyt, Suarez were excellent and Pepe, Kelly had a good game. Lucas was average today. Maxi was again poor and jovanovic was plain awful to watch. Ngog too wasn't bright. We deserved the win but for some poor refereeing, it was a definite red, a definite penalty. We looked good just finishing let us down. We should keep the chin up and look forward to next game.
***************
You thought Kuyt was excellent! LMFAO! Catch a wake up man.

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 18:38:11
Ed, please could I have you thoughts on Kenny and the reluctance to play the youngsters?

Surely Maxi deserves to get dropped and Ince should get a run off the bench last 10 mins? And why suddenly are Jova & Ngog ahead of Pacheco. He surely should also come off the bench.

I also think Silva could be tried down the right – sub for Kuyt (last 10 mins). Love Kenny but really don't understand it. {ed's note – Shelvey has had plenty of chances, as has Kelly. Ince has yet to show any reason to deserve a chance to me, he is not half the player Sterling is. I am sure there were good reasons to give Jovanovic and Ngog a try, though I would prefer to see Pacheco myself.}

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 18:41:48
Think we blew any realistic chance of 4th, do we know the extent of the meireles injury? Big games coming up let's hope gerrard and Carroll can get in the team soon (albeit I am expecting gerrard to shrug off his groin problems in time for Sparta.) are we expecting a "weakened" team for our Europa tie ed? {ed's note – hard to tell, it is a competition we have a chance of winning so it would be a shame to not put out a team to do so.}

We are 10 points from Man City and had we won today we would have been 8 points only. For me it is important to keep man city in control as they have to play arsenal, chelsea and tottenham besides us.Which means some dropped points from other teams. I still believe if we can beat Man Utd, Tottenham and City, we should definitely in the top four this season. However, it is about these ropey teams which kill us over and over again

Lets go for top four

Think about it . we were all thinking we were getting relegated around christmas time. a couple of games/ weeks on we are hoping for champions league football (very unlikely). i would be delighted if we finished fifth/ sixth this season considering what we were like before christmas and last season! so things are looking up even if we don't get CL football. king kenny is looking likely to get the job long term and we will look to improve our squad (hopfully attacking and our width) in the summer! so don't look at the negative side look at the bright side!
YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE ED? :)

{Editor's Note: I still think fourth will require luck as well as good performances.}

Today was the 'also rans' show. When the game is crying out for a bit of pace and skill – we would like to see Ince, Pacheco, Silva, Suso, Amoo. . wait, we get Ngog, Jovanovic & Aurelio (who cannot play CM! ). Just needed Poulsen and we would have all our s**te players on the pitch at once (add Maxi & Kuyt).

Common Kenny. Use the youngsters off the bench not the players who will be leaving in Aug.

Meireles now our best player. Suarez looked fantastic and was really unlucky. Won't comment on Lucas or will have you lot all in defensive mode again.

Well i think top 4 is out of sight. Game shows how weak our squad is and how badly we need a winger. Also Kuyt has played upfront for 3 games and he is yet to even look close to scoring. Had 3 chances to put Suarez through and blew it each time. Had enough of his poor performances this season.
******************
I look away everytime he gets the ball. But most LFC fans love players with heart – which he has – pity he has absolutely no talent what so ever.

We really needed to try harder for Adam, we lack creativity so badly. And seriously, is J Cole ever going to be fit?? What a waste of 90k a week. Knew he was a waste of money.

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 18:01:21
I think the reason we are so disappointed is because we were all secretly hoping for the fairytale of nicking fourth place even though we all knew it was very unlikely. To put things into perspective though, a couple of weeks back we were looking to escape relegation fight. I remember thinking at Christmas "just right off this season and start again next", so I think the fact we are where we are is a real positive. Suarez showed he has goals in him today even if it didn't work out like we wanted. On another day he would have got 2, considering it's his second week of training and first 90 mins on pitch it's another positive. I know pepe wants CL football and everyone has all but sold him but I think if we can carry on the way were going and get some signings early summer then I think he may reconsider his options (maybe anyway). Let's not get downtrodden with today let's get behind the team and get whatever we can out of the season without the expectations. Before christmas we were talking championship football not champions league football.

Ed, can you please tell me the likelihood of us going for Benzema. Read on the BBC that we tried to sign him on deadline day and will renew our interest in him in the summer. Please reply.

{Editor's Note: I think it is possible, but not likely.}

I missed the first 15–20 mins of second half. From what I saw we played well in the first half after a troubled start. Wigan kept the ball and pressure on us early. But we started looking good and again it was great technique by meireles to score the volley. Guess it wasn't Suarez's day today in terms of finishing but he was excellent in terms of link up play, was full of tricks and was making things happen rather than waiting for chances. Think Aurelio, kuyt, Suarez were excellent and Pepe, Kelly had a good game. Lucas was average today. Maxi was again poor and jovanovic was plain awful to watch. Ngog too wasn't bright. We deserved the win but for some poor refereeing, it was a definite red, a definite penalty. We looked good just finishing let us down. We should keep the chin up and look forward to next game.

What we saw today was Liverpools lack of depth. With Gerrard out, once Meireles had to leave we had zero attacking creativity in our midfield. We had only Suarez on the pitch as a player anyone would call creative. Considering that he was also our only true finisher, too much fell on him.

I think this is why we were going after Adam. He may not even be in our normal 1st 11 but he would be good cover for Gerrard and Meireles. We need depth in midfield and attack. Look at a team like United. Today they had Berbatov and Hernandez on the bench. They have 3 quality strikers with those 2 and obviously Rooney. Its a similar situation in midfield with Giggs, Nani, Carrick, Scholes, Fletcher, Park Si Jung and Anderson. United can be without several key players and still put a very strong team on the pitch.

Liverpool can't do that. If you look at our team I think the only position we desperately need someone at is leftback. I think in our starting 11 we have quality in the other spots. However we need depth. We need that when Gerrard is out his replacement isn't a huge dropoff. We need when one of our strikers is out that the replacement goes in seamlessly.

We saw in the first half today that when Meireles was still out there we looked okay. Not great but we were ok. We clearly were missing Gerrard but we were getting bye. Once Meireles was out we just didn't have enough attacking quality out there.

That's 4 wins and two draws out of the last six so stop whining we all know squad needs strengthening.we are a side in transistion and it will take the rest of the season and most of next before we are the complete article.we have allowed ourselves to get carried away with talk of the top 4 and the title next season.let's be realistic it will take time and PATIENCE aswell as new faces.we are a club in acendancy but we are not going to win every game and slating our players helps noone.Be positive the future is bright for Liverpool our owners and managers ambitions go beyond being a top four side but are focused on making us the best team in club football.so have faith my fellow reds in kenny we trust

REINA – brilliant keeper
KELLY – brilliant player his best days are still to come
SKRTEL – not a bad defender! a bit underrated i think!
CARRAGHER – excellent defender and if he plays every match for the rest of the season – second most caps for liverpool
JOHNSON – showing signs of improvement but still not really good enough !
AURELIO – not good enough but good when he wants to be !
LUCAS – improving :)
KUYT – has a brilliant work rate and is a much better striker than a winger !
MEIRELES – liverpool's best player at the moment! banging in the goals and putting everything into his performances!
RODRIGUEZ – not great but will have to do for now !
SUAREZ – what a player he will be at anfield! honestly think he will be better than torres alone and will be at his best when carroll is back !
JOVANOVIC – we need to get rid of him! terrible !
NGOG – good start to the season but think we should sell him now !

SO IF YOU LOOK AT IT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ABOUT 3 PLAYERS THAT PLAYED TODAY WE HAVE A GOOD PROMISING TEAM FOR NOW AND THE
FUTURE! ! what do you think ? please comment took me ages !

 

 

 

 


12 Feb 2011 17:31:55

i couldnt agree with you more one performance won't ruin our season !

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 17:19:38
Can someone please explain to me how:
1. Wigan's goal was onsides
2. Gary Caldwell managed to stay on the pitch
3. How Suarez didn't get that penalty in the first half

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 17:15:03
Defo need to sell kuyt jovanivic ngog maxi! There all awful!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

i agree with all except for kuyt . he has an excellent work rate and has found his feet under kk.
we should :
sell :
jova get coentrao
maxi get turan
ngog get bojan/ benzema

its an improvement anyway !

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 17:15:30
I have got this on a very good source. According to someone within the club, Maxi is absolute s**t. Betting has already been suspended on this one. Watch this space! 100% Fact!

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 17:16:04
"A very poor performance totally inept and as bad if not worse than under hodgeson.Wigan were average at best but we had no idea or width some players attitudes were poor as though this will be easy get some youngsters blooded from the bench."

Ok so we probs won't get 4th, but we are still unbeaten in 6 and if we can nick 5th, would be able to attract some big signings.
Keep the faith.

12 Feb 2011 17:11:49
I am so disappointed from the result today as usual we get a cracking run together and the we always seem to take our foot of the gas and relax
I understand subbing meireles if he was injured, but why bring on ngog in a game of which is never easy to win, he was s**te hasnt played for ages and jovanovic?? ?? ?
Fhs he is shocking god knows why we didn't accept the wolfsburg bid
Today has proved that we are not unstoppable and that we really do struggle against teams that are in a relegation battle or teams that we should be hitting for six with the players that we have at our disposal at a weekend
Wigan are our bogey team we now don't have a prem game for two weeks so i think some work has to be done, players getting fit and kenny really thinking of who he should bring on, i trust in his judgement, just not the players he chose or chooses to bring on

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 17:05:31
Liverpool 1 1 wigan
soft goal to give away
poor decision taking kuyt and meireles off
poor decisions:
1. suarez should have won a peno early in the first half
2. jovanovic penalised for a 50 50 tackle on diame
3. suarez challenged rodriguez played advantage 1 on 1 with the keeper ref didn't allow advantage.
very poor decisions by the ref throughout the match these are just a few!
what are your thoughts ed? {ed's note I think it showed how little width we have in the side to open up Wigan in a back four. We missed the wing backs bombing forward badly for me. Even so, Suarez hit the post and the bar, we could have easily ended up with 3 points from the game.}

ED , we deserved the win, your right with the lack of with and i think that looked like the situation we had last season with rafa benitez where we dominated the final quarter of the match but just couldn't score.
by the way i think wigan's goal was offside and the glen johnson decision to give wigan a corner was terrible aswell . 5 good reasons that the ref was terrible!

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 17:06:30
Poor decision taking kuyt and meireles off.
No wide play at all!
Jova useless!
Unlucky with Suarez free kick !
Johnson brutal once anywhere near the box.
Ngog not at the races.
Should have been 3 points in the bag !

Lol ed we never beat Wigan 1–1 Suarez really impressed today really really unlucky lad! Well played boys! Kenny got it right again it's just the players needed to be more clinical simple as that really.
Carra was superb today.
We need width but everything is fine lads! Who we got next?

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 17:09:14
Who is worse . . Maxi(bel) or Jovanovic(unbel)? Neither deserves to be on the pitch in my opinion.

Why can we never beat wigan ?
– – –/ / / / / – – – – – – – – – –/ / / / /

Wigan play with wingers are defense is slow and cannot compete, to top it off we have no wingers so all our play has to go through the centre. Chelsea had no width last week and we can deal with stuff through the centre. If you want to beat us it's simple put pace on the wings. That's why Wigan got a point. We need wingers despiratley, or Suarez will have the same probes our last forward had, feeding of scraps. Only up side is kk knows this and so do comolli, just have to do our best till transfer window opens

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 17:02:17
Defo need to sell kuyt jovanivic ngog maxi! There all awful!

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 17:00:30
We were really unlucky today, their goal was offside, Suarez hit the post, and then the woodwork. These kinds of games hurt. At home, playing against a relegation team, drawing 1–1.
Oh and Jovanovic was s**t! I'd like to see someone with actual talent be given a chance, like Pacheco? or Sterling? I know sterling is young, but wigan looked extremely tired, and putting on a young quick player would've been the breakthrough!
Sell Jovanovic he is absolute s**t!

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 16:58:04
Christ watching Johnson is infuriating – he's naturally quick yet he always looks so ponderous on the ball. Maxi looks to have aged and can't run, Jova can't ride a tackle and N'gog continues to go into 50/ 50s almost as mimsily. If Pacheco can't get a minute on the pitch ahead of those three i doubt he'll be sticking around.

I know there were injuries but this just shows that we need 3 – 4 good players still (attacking players).

ED , do you think we deserve to be 1–0 up? please comment :) {ed's note – we scored and they haven't, so yes. Though they have played fairly well, they don't seem to have a real cutting edge to their play, all pretty triangles with very little end product.}

Watching the game in Australia at the moment.
Saurez and Kuyt look pretty good together, but I'm afraid to say after all the talk about Lucas these past couple of days he seems to be having a rather average first half.
Such a better team to watch nowadays since Hodgson left, even though West Brom are up 3–0 as I type?!

just seen the posts about us getting Marveaux for next season.
Where do you think this leaves G Johnson ?
I feel he's too good to lose, but I guess if someone came in with £12–15m we may take it.

A more straight forward line up this time, although i'd swap aurelio with jovanovic. Good to see suarez starting with kuyt upfront, should be good!

OK peeps, match day is upon us. For those of you who will not be at the game:-

HOW TO WATCH LIVERPOOL ON THE INTERNET

1. Install the browser Google Chrome.

2. Look in the top right (your right) corner and you will see a spanner.

3. Click on the spanner and select 'tools'.

4. Click on extensions

5. At the bottom right (as you look at it) you will see 'Get More Extensions >>'. Select this.

6. In the search box type 'Chrome Live Football' and search.

7. Click on Chrome Live Football and then click on install. (it may download to a holding file in the bottom left as you look at it, in which case as soon as it's finished click there, but mostly it will install itself)

8. A small football will then appear in the top right (as you look at it). Click on that, select 'live stream' and reset the clock to GMT and it will list all the live games available all over europe and other places.

You may occasionally need to install other programmes or the link you pick will only work on Explorer (in which case cut and paste the URL into Explorer), but you will always get every Liverpool match (or any other). Sometimes you will only be able to find it with foreign commentary and sometimes you will get it in English. You'll get about thirty links and you may have to look through a lot of them to get what you want. You will also get most La Liga matches, Greek matches, Italian matches and French matches as well as top matches from South America.

Someone also asked about viruses etc. Google Chrome is actually far more secure than Internet Explorer so the risks are considerably less, but you should have decent virus/ spyware programmes and run sweeps regularly as a matter of course.

The quality will also depend on the speed of your internet connection. If you have super-speed and have a modern HD TV, consider connecting your PC to the TV via the PC socket on the side/ back.

Cut and paste the above into a document and save it for future reference.

Happy watching.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

can anybody recommend which channel to watch it on? :)

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 14:22:37
I mean, fair enough be on a high because you've won 4 on the bounce but don't start gloating about the league and how you're going to win it next year, remember the last time yo said you'll win the league next year? you finished miles out the top 4. .

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Did your loss last week hurt so much so that you have had to come on an LFC site and start trying to make yourself feel better in a desperate attempt to convince us your team is great?
I myself would never dream of visiting a chelski site EVER! under no circumstances. What are you playing at?

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 14:14:26
ED , i reckon 2-0 today and meireles and suarez with the goals . what about you and will carroll be back for the united game? please comment :) {ed's note - 3-1 to Liverpool I think. I very much doubt Carroll will be back to face United, maybe on the bench, but he has only just started running again, it is probably a bit soon for him.}
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

but ED the united match isn't for another 3 weeks? {ed's note - and he has only just started running, it will be a while before he can twist or turn. Then he will be able to train properly with the team. It could be 3 weeks before that even takes place. No point rushing him back only to have him pick up an injury.}
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

oh i thought you meant he is only back up and running like he is recovering! sorry ed :) {ed's note – no worries mate, it can be difficult with these kind of injuries, there is not much blood flow to the area which slows recovery. Fingers crossed I am wrong and he is ready by then!}

Hi Ed's great site.
One question, have we signed Sylvain Marveaux? If we have this is a great bit of business. Great left foot. {ed's note - yes, though it needs to be officially confirmed yet.}
If we continue with wing–backs he would fit in perfectly as he can play any left sided position. I believe he would have been a more highly rated player by now on the world stage if it wasn't for injuries. Our sports science people should be able to deal with that though. I'm sure Kenny will get the most out of him.

ED , i reckon 2-0 today and meireles and suarez with the goals . what about you and will carroll be back for the united game? please comment :) {ed's note - 3-1 to Liverpool I think. I very much doubt Carroll will be back to face United, maybe on the bench, but he has only just started running again, it is probably a bit soon for him.}
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

but ED the united match isn't for another 3 weeks ? {ed's note – and he has only just started running, it will be a while before he can twist or turn. Then he will be able to train properly with the team. It could be 3 weeks before that even takes place. No point rushing him back only to have him pick up an injury.}

I think with Agger being injured today. That Kenny might go with a flat back 4.

This is what the team could look like

Reina

Kelly Carragher Skrtel Johnson

Gerrard Lucas Mireless

Kuyt Suarez Maxi

Blair Mayne YNWA

@Well i can compare them simply because Chelsea were absolutely brilliant last season, and the year before that, when Barca won the champions league, Barca were in Chelsea's pocket over both legs of that game and it took a hell of a lot of luck from Iniesta to put them through. .

And if you go back to my original post i said that how can you be so sure that you'll finish in the top 4 next year letalone win the league, when United won't drop, Chelsea will likely buy and have an even stronger squad, Arsenal play a great game and normally it gets them 3 points, as well as the fact that City are in the rise i don't see how you'll break it.
– – – – – – – –

You got it completely wrong, mate. You're talking about Chelsea dominating Barca, yet don't point out that game was over two seasons ago. Drogba has aged (and looks to be gone in the summer), Lampard is completely useless at this point, Ramires is ineffective, Mikel is getting worse by the game, Anelka has about a season left in him, the same goes for Cole and Cech is no longer one of the best keepers in the world. Add that to the fact Torres isn't as sharp as he was (I implore you to look at some YouTube videos of him in the last few seasons) and the majority of the youth are either not good enough or want to leave.

Chelsea won't be able to spend as much in the summer and aren't even good enough for the Top 4 at the moment, as shown on Sunday when we didn't give them a peep.

Grab 4th this season, which is still possible, and I have no doubt we will be challenging for the league next season.

 

 

 

 

12 Feb 2011 13:23:23
Team for today
Reina
Skrtle Carragher Agger (is he injured? If so Kyriakos)
Kelly Johnson
Gerrard Lucas Maxi
Meireles
Kuyt Suarez

Lucas will drop a lot more than gerrard and meireles so making him again, a CDM.
Meireles will try and help suarez more and sometimes go into the Kuyt role up front, behind suarez, allowing Gerrard to push up into a CAM role where Meireles was.
Kuyt will drop and try and collect the ball from deep as he did against stoke, making the free space for Meireles to run into.
Kelly and Johnson again playing as very effective wing back. When they push forward expect lucas to drop even further and just infront on the CB's.
Maxi will start again, don't know why, but he will. You can tell he's not a CM, or a winger as he's not an excelent ball player and not quick enough to play on the wings. He's a CAM, you would see him sometimes play behin Aguero when he was playing for Athletico. You may also remember when he scored that great volley for Argentina at the World Cup against Mexica when he came on as a CAM.
Suarez will start as it will be his full debut at home, at Anfield, in front of a 40k+ crowd.

Not even the 3rd greatest in london

Sorry i disagree with the 3rd greatest team comment, how can you compare with the likes of Real and Barca!
They have won in Europe, Chelsea are a long way off from doing that! Abramovich (spelling) can't buy that success mate, that's why your suffering from never winning it.

When you have 18 leagues and 5 Euorpean cups under your belt then come on here spouting how great you are, until then zip it.

I mean, fair enough be on a high because you've won 4 on the bounce but don't start gloating about the league and how you're going to win it next year, remember the last time yo said you'll win the league next year? you finished miles out the top 4. .

Good to hear Gerrard finally say something on the offical site. . he was gutted like all about Torres but he feels positive withh KK and said that he enjoys going to work again. .

I can't imagine a footballer not enjoying going to work. . looks like the grass isn't always greener, so, I've decided to stay in my job and I'm not going to be a premiership footballer.

Joking aside, good to hear Gerrard sharing again.

Hi ed, don't no too much about this sylvain marveaux guy? can you please fill me in? is he a good signing? what type of player is he. would be much appreciated

irishred1916 {ed's note – left sided player that Chelsea were considering as the replacement for Malouda. That is about the extent of my knowledge of him, I haven't seen him play yet.}

12 Feb 2011 11:59:04
You can say all you like that Chelsea are not 3rd greatest side in the world, but the fact remaims whenever you play them the bookies expect you to get slaughtererd, they have one of th best Centre Backs in the world with John Terry, The best LB in Cole, the best box2box/ DM since Makelele in Essien, a quality AM only second to Gerrard in Lampard.
And two of the best forwards in the world.

All you have to do is look at the success they had last year and you can see they're easily in the top 3 best in the world, the amount of 6, 7, 8–0 wins they had, the fact that every year since Abramovich they've dominated games from start to finish.

Barcelona – Agreed
Real Madrid Agreed
AC Milan – Well considering they're top of the italian league in a season where it's been an even poorer standard that the premier league shows how little you know about foreign leagues.

Manchester United – Yes, again, you could argue that but Chelsea do, and are expected to beat United everytime they play them.

Arsenal – They play quality football but can never finish games off? a poor standard of Barcelona really, although i do love to watch arsenal play.

Liverpool – Don't make me laugh, so you beat them, Barca got beat 3–1 by Real Betis, but it doesn't make them better. You've won 4 games in a row, and this is your only good patch in two seasons, hardly a top 10 world side.

Inter Milan – Not with the Manager they've got, Nardo doesn't really have that much knowledge, although they're probably 5–6th best side in the world.

Bayern Munchen – Erm, I haven't seen much of them last season, all i know is they were lucky to get to the Champions league final last season, a last minute goal against United and a lucky goal against Lyon in a game where they were completely dominated.

It's great that you're all behind your club and you respect everything they do, but you block out the opinions of every other football fan, you're so far up the rear end of you beloved club that you can't even be called football fans anymore, shame, you used to have some really down to earth, open–minded fans. And even your ex players are so far up liverpools arse, Jamie Redknapp won't ever seay a bad word about you or even criticize you, And Alan Hanson blames everything on the other team or the Ref. Lighten up a little bit and realise football is only a game and you don't have to be so god damn stubborn, even on the United page, or the Arsenal, or Chelsea, or whoever, If you post a point politely they'll talk to you, but with you guys, theres just no winning even if the rest of the league agrees with me.

I'm fairly sure that any pundit, manager, fan (provided they're not rivals with chelsea) will probably say that they are the 3rd best side in the world and are probably the only team who can win the Champions league outside of spain this season.

the guys 20! and he can't get into what is, arguably, the best team in the world! i think that the fact he gets game time at all there shows his ability and potential!

ED (Your thoughts on this please)

What the hells going on with some of these people suggesting Team's with Lucas missing.We have give this young lad some major stick in the last year to 18 months on phone ins , blogs, and other sited like this.He has been one of our most consistent players this season which shows his mental toughness.Its about time we faced facts he is a lot more talented than we give him credit for.

REDFORLIFE {ed's note – I just think he will never get the credit he deserves from some people, no matter how well he plays. He deserves to be given a lot of plaudits this season, his attitude is absolutely exemplary.}

This would be my team for tomorrow:

Reina

Skrtel Carragher Agger
Kelly Johnson

Gerrard Miereles Aurellio

Kuyt Suarez

However I prefer 4-4-2, but I think players such as Lucas and Maxi are awful so, as KK has done, we have to adapt. However this would be my team with everyone fit:

Reina

Kelly Carragher Agger Aurellio

Johnson Miereles Gerrard Cole

Carroll Suarez

Subs: Kuyt, Jones, Skrtel, Poulson, Pacheco, Wilson, Shelvey

Lucas has been one of our best players this season and dosen't make your squad, thank the heavens your not the gaffer mate.Watched him with Brazil v France and he was very good, now that we are playing attacking football and players are making space and looking for the ball Lucas forward passing has improved totally.What you think Ed?

Eric The Real Red
YNWA {ed's note – clearly Meireles and Gerrard on their own would not be a good combination on their own. Lucas has been excellent this season anyway, Gerrard must be the one most in danger of losing his place, if anyone, out of the midfield.}

And T*T of the month goes to YOU.

1: When are morons like you going to realise Lucas has been one of our best players this year, And trusted by, Rafa, Roy, Dunga, Kenny.

2: If lucas and Maxi are so poor why the f*ck have you put Joe Cole in.

Im guessing your a (watching highlights) guy, And critisizing small name players, I bet no–one agree's with your piss poor excuse of a post.

Our squad next season. .(In My opinion)

GK: Reina, B.Jones, Gulasci.
DC: Carragher, Skrtel, Agger, Ayala.
DR: M.kelly, Flanagan.
DL: Insua, Aurelio.
MC: Lucas, Gerrard, Mirelles, Shelvy.
AMRLC: J.Cole, Pacheo, G.Johnson, J.Suso.
ST: D.kuyt, A.Carrol, L.Suarez, Ngog.


Out:Konshesky, Degen, Elzahr, Aquilani, Maxi, Poulsen,
Jovanovic, Kyrgiakos.
+ many youngsters on loan to gain 1st team exp.

we need
1 CB, 1 MC, 2 Wide Players, 1 ST.

CB:Mexes(free-agent-Roma) france skipper.
MC: C.Adam(7-10M-Blackpool)
AMLC: Marveux( Free-agent)he's our already.
AMRL: Nzogbia (8-10M-Wigan)or A.Young(18-25M-aston-villa)
ST: Gervinho(10-13M-Lille).
at left back i don't see us needing to spend, becuase
g.jonhnson is brilliant there and i really like insua. !
Any decent player under K.Kenny would be great beacuse i have blind faith in The King.

i think we will win, 3-1 or 4-2 tomorrow:)
