I've posted on this site before. I've also said this before. We really should be testing Blackburn's resolve for Junior hoilett. This kid had something. Not saying he is the new Barnes but his circumstances are not too different. A little unknown from a not so footballing country. If the rumours of mata joining Chelsea are true. We should buy this guy. Even if Ty aren't true, I'm convinced hoilett could be a star player. Pace and trickery. Has a shot too as shown last season. What do you think eds?

Evening Eds,
Please can you refrain from posting the negative posts regarding Carroll, Henderson and the 2-0 victory away to Arsenal. It's obvious that the posters are either rival fans who are embarrassing to their clubs or just very fickle LFC fans who have never been to a game.
There are lots of fantastic educated posts on your site that speak a lot of sense and passion plus you Eds are more in the know than any tabloid monkey, so please keep it that way and not let more pathetic posts go through to wind me up
This is one of the simplest yet clever sites on the web & I hope it prospers as you guys & gals have done a sterling job

sick of people saying adams unfit and does not look like a footballer do any of you remember molby? i bet adam is fitter than 99% of the people on here lol he made a few mistakes today but he made some excellent tackles and passed the ball around well most times.just remember this is the second game of the season not just for adam but for people like henderson which some people forget he is a young lad and will get better in time just like all the new signings.Leave it to kk lads he knows best.
JJ blackpool {Ed001's Note - Adam admits himself he is not in the kind of shape he would like to be, mostly due to the fact that Blackpool had no kind of fitness program. A large number of their players actually pay for their own fitness coaches! Charlie is working hard to reach the level he feels he should be at, you can't ask any more of him than that. At this stage of the season no one is truly match fit anyway.}

Talk about deluded. Were fielding a team of new players and besides a 5 min spell at end of first half. We've got a team of new players still geling, and you had 2 shots on target. We could even leave Suarez on the bench your so crud. I had a bit of sympathy with you fans but that Fripong is a disgrace. Took Agger out with a terrible tackle, the tackle on Lucas could have broke his neck. You reap what you sow,your medical team aint upto scratch,discipline a disgrace tight fisted,thats why your wont even make the Europa.Its a good job we never fired on all cylindyers or it would of been 4 or 5 . Your gone from the top 4 gone and good, your were out played simple. It was a good battle between Carroll and Vermulen, end of story. Suarez woulda won it anyway,and ye his big toe was offside:). Thought a bit of credit where its due is right,but reading your comments on here, your just like your manager, a bunch of whiny little girls. Jonson6

Daily Mail is reporting that Mereiles put his finger up to dalglish and is definitely leaving......what a pile of rubbish

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 22:32:41
Dear Eds,

If we sign a CB, whoever that might be, will we see one of our defenders leave? Cause clearly Carragher, Agger, and Skrtel are all worthy starters and we have Kyriakos and Kelly(natural CB) as backup, the question is who will we see leaving?

-Melwood Janitor {Ed001's Note - Wilson on loan, Ayala has gone, Carra will be gradually phased out and Kyrgiakos will not get another contract.}

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 22:56:57
Did anyone else think that Henderson looked like the calmest on the ball? Much better down the middle than out wide.

Meireles need's to stay came on made a immediate impact Seem angry when celebrating with Suarez for the goals but he's an important player for the team.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 22:43:02
Now all this negativity is very immature, the team played we won got three points THAT IS ALL that matters.

I really want to thank the owners once more for all these wonderful signings, for keeping their promises to us and obviously they are also getting rid of all the useless players we have which has cost them as well, and they are still willing to give KK more to spend. Thankyou I am much happier with this team we have and am not afraid of opposition for a change.

aug 2010 arsenal liverpool 1-1
aug 2010 man city liverpool 3-0

we are already 3 points better off
come on the reds
lets get behind our team, we are liverpool fc we are true supporters.

we may not win the league this year and i wont say this is our year, what i will say is if we can all get behind the team and show our support we can achieve anything.

one thing i do lnow is we will be closer, even the scum can see it hence why the mind games are early.

"I'm just one of the people who stands on the kop. They think the same as I do, and I think the same as they do. It's a kind of marriage of people who like each other"

Great team performace today everybody played well. Nice to see a left winger actually taking defences on. Henderson is quality he seems to make a lot of space in midfield for the rest with his energy.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 21:58:50
Read alot of the stuff people have put on here and i agree with henderson needs more time and should not start people are saying he didnt put a foot wrong an he passed the ball well. i could stand there an pass the ball to the closest player for christ sake. hes crap an i was gob smacked he got another bite of the cherry. please can someone tell me why miereles put his finger up an what the reason was for coz he did not look happy? i know if some 20 yr old lad had took my place in the team who has played crap for england and crap for liverpool since he started, i wouldnt be happy at all Henderson one for the future...... no deffinatley not.. KK cant get every buy spot on. it happens but he needs to stop playing him everything else about the team i loved.. people on here need to realise that KK is human an will get somethings wrong at times so dont start all start slagging me off again like last week because i will be the one laughing when no one remembers who jordan henderson was thankyou and good night :)

Gents, ladies & Eds, I've followed LFC since 1975 (when I first went on the Kop aged 7). I was extremely disapointed today as that was the worst Arsenal side in a generation & without Suarez & Miereles coming off the bench & them having a man sent off then that was a dour 0-0. I felt Lucas was imense, Enrique very good & Hendo much better & more involved in the last 25 minutes however Adam is simple not athletic or fit enough. Carroll is lazy & Vamarlan had him in his back pocket. Carroll can't time a jump & allows defenders to get up before him. I'll support any LFC player who gives his all but I'm afraid Adam & Carrol don't work hard enough. Heskey was a scapegoat for many fans but my word he worked hard, Carrol doesn't move. Kelly excellent, a great future that lad but I'm afraid Agger is like R Ferdinand, likes to play & bring the ball out but can't tackle or head. Without the incredible Louis Suarez we'd have only one point, a 0-0 today & a defeat last week. Apologies to the excellent Stuart Downing as he's had 2 great games & I'm only just mentioning him now. So 3 great signings since Jan & 2 decidedly average. Still a centre back & winger/striker required. I love Kenny Dalglish but if Rafa or Roy had bought Adam & Carroll we'd be slating them. Delighted with 4 points but that should not distract us from the performances of some players who simply won't do. They need to take a leaf out of Dirk Kuyt's book & make up for with hard work what they lack in natural talent. Until then Charlie & Andy the jury remains out. ALB.

hey eds great site, great info and thank you for all your hard work. please post in banter..

After watching todays game im over the moon that we won, but this was only down to 2 things them being down to 10 men and suarez coming on, its clear suarez is a class player but unfortunately the same cannot be said for carroll, hes main threat is heading balls but how many times has his heading been on target, he does scare defenders but then what? the worrying thing aswell is while carroll was on the pitch our play was predictable, so imagine suarez gets injured i cant imagine carroll winning games for us with these kind of performances, im sure he will in the end come good but untill he does id rather kuyt play with suarez or even with merieles, keep carroll on the bench and bring him on when players are tired because only then will carrolls pace be effective as he can only beat tired defenders, with carroll he is not good enough to be a lone striker he has alot to learn and im sure when he does he will be unstoppable but untill then he should only play with another striker or be a sub, guys like drogba, and llorente etc are capable of destroying teams on their own but not carroll at this momment in time, if he was brought just to win headers and knock downs, hassle defenders and be a target man like some of you guys have said applauding his play today, emile heskey can do that and hed be much cheaper, speaking of emile remember how good he was at leicester city and then when he came to us he didnt emulate the same form although he still did better than carroll but obviously was still poor i just pray carroll isnt another emile heskey but every game that he plays it seems more and more likely..

Hi eds was joe cole even on the bench today ,also hope gooners win wed nite keep them busy for few months while we gather pace in race for tittle and deadly squad now cover in all positions except maybe up front but with chance of few new arrivals might be sorted .We are streets ahead of where we were this time last year 4 points from first 2 games of season with an away game at emerites ,think all people who follow the team will have to think we are movin in the right direction at a rate of knots and i know pool fans are hard to please as i am guilty of thinkin that so and so was poor and useless durin games but thats just all fans of all clubs ,8 months on since KK took over its all gravy and thats with out Stevie G who has yet to really play with luis +andy not to mention the summer arrivals .

Eds what actually is the "Financial Issue" with Raul. {Ed002's Note - He was made promises by the previous management about additional wages this season if he played well last year. The club have yet to honor that agreement.}

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 20:53:46
Oh how unexpected is the transfer window
Mata first defo going to Barca.. Then LFC appear out of nowhere.. Him being a 6/10 to move to LFC .. Liverpool fans get mass orgasms.
The MOVE 'falls through' (like there was going to be any).. Wenger suddenly thinks.. Oh why don't i get involved in this mess and make a bid of my own. Mata is now odds on to be a Gooner by sept. 1
Redknapp as usual is just standing in the shadows waiting to make an offer for any player that the top teams bid for..
And suddenly out of the blue (no pun intended) Chelsea get the man ..
Oh i love the Silly season..

Have to say, this transfer window has been 1 of the most exciting in recent memory

Sorry Eds to post again so soon. Last one of today because if i read anymore crud re Carroll i'll feckin explode. I've read he cant control it, looked very tidy to me when played into his feet. He was a constant threat thats why they had their best defender in Vermulen more or less man marked him. Drew free kicks, some lovely knockdowns with his head. He ran him self into the ground, gave Vermulan a hell of a tough game. Tired their defenders out and i've even read that its his fault that Adam over a few corners. If you knew anything about football, Carroll ticked most box's that he was bought for today bar score when he their keeper pulled off a massive save from his header. Yes the sending off helped but belive me them defenders would have known they were in a tough game. In my opinion he did the spade work and Suarez and Raul M finished it off. Call yourself Liverpool fans. In Kenny we trust i hear post after post. Only when it feckin suits. Full of Man Utd,unreal posts today. Tomorrow to the real fans which are few and far between , and feckin do one to you in Kenny we trust except your signings and team selections. You tried it with driving Lucas out when he was a young man,didn't work and now he's a world class player, and i'll guarentee it wont work with Carroll and Henderson either. Jonson6

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 20:38:57
Only Ferguson and Rooney wind me up more than the negative posters on here at the moment. If you are LFC act with dignity, have pride and support everything about our great club. If not just go...

I feel sorry for Andy Carroll, he put in a good shift and gets slagged off. Granted Liverpool looked more of a threat when he came off, but he is our player and we should support him. He didn't have a shocker so why the negative vibes?

He's been unlucky with a couple of referee decisions - his goal vs Sunderland being chalked off, and his chest down for Downing today for the slightest of hands on the back of defenders. Those 2 decisions going the other way and I'm sure many would be singing his praises.

The problem I have with Andy Carroll is that with all the braun and power he showed at Newcastle he has yet to show for Liverpool. Today there were times where he fell to the ground at minimal contact, and considering he is bigger than most players he shouldn't really be doing that. Last season he bullied central defences into submission and they couldn't handle him.

Whether he needs a partner up front, as he had in Nolan at NUFC, to get the best out of him I don't know. In todays system he didn't have a partner, I think Henderson was the supporting player for Andy but he often dropped so deep Andy was very isolated, so when he won headers they went to Arsenal players.

I think we'll see the real Andy Carroll when he has a partner be it Suarez, Gerrard, or Meireles alongside him.

Hi Ed's and Reds

great result today...but would like to put this out there and see wot u all think...By putting LS on the bench today imo was a master stroke..and i say this for one reason..Wot KK has done by doing this is keep everyone sharp..by leaving him on the bench tells the squad there is no gtd starting place..and i think this will push them all on.

alrite ed how come on the arsenal,chelsea and our rumours page were all afther the same players?dann cahill mata etc.chelsea now looking at cahill?

ste liverpool {Ed002's Note - Perhaps you don't know this, but clubs can share targets.}

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 20:10:58
Hope, we are signing one more striker along with a cb, if ngog leaves. I think outs will be Pacheco(quite disappointed, he could have been great for us), Ngog, Poulsen(hope soon), Aquilani(same as pacheco), degen and might be Joe cole.
That can really leave us with atleast something to spend. Hope, we can keep on after Arsenal. YNWA

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 20:02:49
i find it totally unbelievable how so many "fans" are criticising so many players especially the new players.

liverpool and kd wanted these players so if you support lfc and kenny then support dont judge so early give it time.

i trust in lfc i trust in the king do you??????

i just cant believe we beat arsenal today away 10 years ago was the last time do you remember that and alot of fans just moan yeah but look at the weakened team arsenal put out is that liverpools fault thats arsenals problem you can only beat whats in front of you.


just unbealivable the amount of moaning and criticism i have seen today after liverpool win

i suppose we have spent some money and now some fans expect us to perform straight away andy carroll should be knocking in hatricks every game hes worth 35 mil he never choose that price did he

wake up all you person fans it takes time

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 19:57:55
anyone think we need to buy a playmaker ala Nasri. adam doesnt seem to be up for it, or maybe he needs some time

{Ed006's Note - His set plays are top class, I think he was a little starstruck in the game today. The things he did right were very good though. I was a little frustrated with him and Carroll today but it is early days yet and they will both improve.}

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 19:53:41
Open letter to bluenoses and Man Utd coming on here hoping for biters, LIVERPOOL are back and you know it Suck on that Have some class red fans and rise above.

Hi All,
Thought although it was a disjointed game we gave arsenal a doing...at their home ground we had more shots and more possession.
Carroll and Henderson did not have the best of the games but will come good, however the substitutes made all the difference, however we did have chances previously.
I am really excited, because when Carroll does come come good God held defenses.
Also, we did not start with our best player....
It is going to be a good serason

thats what happens wen you put suarez on the pitch........ teams get battered

SSN reporting that Kenny Dalglish was seen in JJB sports. Rumours suggest he was looking for a training cone to replace Christian Poulsen.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 19:36:55

20 Aug 2011 19:34:27
Alex Ferguson is a fr0ck

He already made his move and said Liverpool are a real threat this season. We could of seeked up on Man Utd. The Mind games have begun

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 19:32:57
Luis Suarez and Raul meireles have chemistry. Some kind of understanding. The great partnership

I would keep them. Goals are worth their weight in gold. Plus i know Raul short comings. But i would play him with Luis. He would be our 4th Striker

Can the fans who come on here and have a go at Carroll get a life. Support the player and the team. Carroll did not tell LFC to pay the £35m

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 19:20:57
I personally think our business is done unless a agent offers us something great on the last day. I dont think we will be getting anyone

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 19:19:13
Raul Meireles is fantastic.

many of the fans thing Carrol is the problem. We play the ball into feet when Carrol isn't playing. He is not bad, but he is a different player

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 19:17:48
I've come to the conclusion that 100% of posters who have slagged the players,club or anything negative to do with todays game are a bunch of toss pots. Wont even come out and say that old cheggy by saying go and support City if you want to see star foreign players. Because as sure as night follows day you'd be pissin and moanin about who they bought and become an disgrace to them and thats saying something. Just give up on writing on the Liverpool banter page and apply for jobs writing for the Daily Fail. I'm sure you'd get a job with them when you showed them the negativity and bullrubbish you constantly post about Liverpool FC, and it aint just today either. Jonson6

Hi do the eds or anyone know who mereiles was putting a finger upto when he was celebrating with suarez an Lucas??

Big red john {Ed002's Note - Read the earlier posts please.}

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 19:11:53
Andy Carroll is a BIG MISTAKE DONE IN A HURRY BUY LFC OR KENNY OR WHO EVER OPTED TO BUY HIM. Carroll has no pace, no ball control, passing was awful what else to say a type of desert Camel or a giant version of Ngog.
LFC were playing boring sloppy long ball style football but look how beautiful we were playing when Suarez came & LFC started playing fast flowing short passing football. Playing Carroll upfront is also having a big affect on Jordan Henderson. SUARES WOULD ALSO BEEN HAPPY IF HE AHD A MORE SKILLFULL PARTNER UPFRONT.
It would have been better of we kept the 35Million for summer & go for a striker like Aguero, Higuain, or Benzema or anyone other then Carroll.

BUT REGARDLESS OF WHAT I SAID I HOPE CARROLL MAKES IT HERE AT LFC & BECOME A SUCCESS.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 19:02:37
carroll was a weak point in today's match he didn't get to crosses did not hold the ball did not make a runs looked stiff ........... ed do u think there is chance of signing any quality striker coz we need some1 right now i think we cannot rely much on carroll without suarezvivek12011 {Ed002's Note - There is a chance of a back up striker but that is not the priority.}

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 19:01:52
please post on rumors ed.
I hate to be the one saying it bit Carroll is the main impediment to us scoring more goals and generally playing better.For much of today's game he was stationary and negated the presence of downing and others.I love king Kenny to death but even he must know he made an error buying him, not worth even 10 mil going by today's showing

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 18:59:48
Eds, or anyone, can you agree with this, watching the game agaist arsenal was brillant, speculation over Raul, he is the perfect squad player, coming on around 50 to 70minutes, and playing out-standing, and can cover for future injuries for adam,henderson,gerrard,downing,lucas, and we dont need shawcross or cahill, agger looked amazing played very well, we have skrtel and kyriakos for for back ups, striking, we dont need, we need to put people like Raheem Sterling on the bench and replace carroll suarez kuyt, to get him game time, and have a future not like phaceo who liverpool screwed his career, he should of been the sub for torres back in 08/9, 09/10 i dont think we need anymore players , it'll be like the jovan situation, no game time, 100,000 a week we will challenge for top spot this year no doubt, we dont want to overspend like man city do we?? anyway thats all

Would have loved all those who wanted Aqualani over Raul M to have signed off just den you could see all the 2 bob Liverpool posters now Raul's the best thing sinced sliced bread. Only went on that bit of a scoring streak,to weak,wont tackle. Raul M classy player,classy human being,wants to play for Liverpool if they'll honour albeit by the previous regime, the promise made to him if he performed to a high standard last season and i think besides his goals,once he adjusted to the Prem and it wasn't to long he was a class act re of his hot streak and in my opinion he fulfilled his side of the bargain. It was the club that promised it him re of owners so give him what he deserves. Jonson6

Listening to the footie phone-in on Merseyside and heard a Bluenose super optomist. He said "There's a lot to look forward to at Goodison this season.Even the new home strip is great" Yeehaw who needs points when you got a new team strip?

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 18:26:46
long and odemwengea will rival the best pairing this year i think,i reckon brom will do well if they can all keep fit brom 1-chelskie 0 half time.

Aqualani and Poulsen will both leave next week.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 18:09:22
i reckon the best back up striker we could of got would be a return of dribril cisse, under king kenny also he would be fantastic its ashame he already signed for another club this year

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 18:09:37
Reports in France suggest PSG offered in excess of £75m for Saurez and Reina last week. This was immediately turned down according to the reports.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 18:09:28
Shane Long looks pretty handy. Winning headers against terry and alex.. coud have been worth a shout as our third striker.. El P

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 18:09:07
Small point to make..Instead of being at the arsenal game to support his team, in and around the time it is needed..Gervinho has decided to watch the match at Stamford bridge..Great team spirit..Arsenal have no hope if there new signing has that sort of attitude..Disgraceful..Thank god we didnt get him..He would have been turning up to watch man-u games or everton games..

Davey Liver {Ed002's Note - He was at the Arsenal game earlier.}

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 18:07:54
The involvement of Mereiles today surely concludes any thoughts of him leaving the club. His contribution today was excellent.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 17:56:21
Chuffed withe the result lots more to come from the boys, yes there were a couple of issues but for christs sake we knocked the stuffing out of Arsenal and have significantly dented the closest opposition for the 4th place. Their game on Wednesday is now MASSIVE with their injury list. If Udinesse take the spoils on Wednesday that will have a huge impact on attracting the likes of Hazard and co to the Emirates which will do us no harm in our cause for a top 4 spot 3rd or higher please....

Oh, can we sort the issues out with Raul plse Kennny, the link up with Suarez is going to pay great dividends and make us a more versatile threat.

Bring it on Suffolk'n Red

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 18:01:02
why would we let raul go? Seriously he's better than henderson.. i see henderson as one for the future. Start raul

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 17:58:51
Hi Eds,

Chris Kamara on sky earlier was saying about Suarez coming on and scoring after it was revealed new about him today.

Any1 know what this news was?

Hey Eds.

I've been away on holiday for a week, deprived of sports TV and Internet.

Could you do me a favor and quickly sum up LFC's transfer doings and rumors in the past week? I would really appreciate it if you could. Thanks.

Just like to share my dads insight into this season, the last time lpool won the league was the year I was born with kenny as manager, my dad swears its my fault we never have again, but I'm now expecting my 1st in november, and with kenny back he's determined that me producing the next generation will end the curse I caused funny how these things work Here's hoping Gezzaared

Did anyone make out what Steve G said to Capello just beofre the match? I thought Steve said something about two and held two fingers up. I hope it was "I'll be back fully fit in two weeks".

Great result today, albeit against a weak Arsenal side. This time last year we would have lost that under Woy.

The club still need two pacey centre backs, a right winger and another striker.

Look guys, If we win games, it doesn't matter how we win them (except Mourinho fighting). Who cares if we won just because a man saw red, or they had a second-rate team. All that matters is the three points.

To the guy who said get shane long as back up you sir are a genius lol I know its only 2 game,s in but starting to think you may be right about him even tho he,s not the manager of liverpool this could possibly be one of the best things woy did for us if they can keep it maybe long wouldnt have been bad back up after all

We get a 2-0 away at Arsenal and the knives are still out for our players, something tells me certain fans on our site today have just suffered a home loss to a promoted team from the capital.

I thought that liverpool had an excellent game today.We went to London and beat Arsenal, they may not of had their best team out but they are still a very tough side to break down.Our first win at the Emirates, High Five

I am so proud to support Liverpool.We are solid, but Henderson isn't ready yet,he needs time.Meireles is one of my favourite players and i want him to start instead.Carroll didn't have a spectacular game but I still think he England worthy.

Jose Enrique is top stuff, I really like this guy.He is the perfect player for us. Also im glad Pepe has a new spanish friend. I think this will make him EVEN happier at our club.

Suarez, 'Nuff Said.

Kenny is a misterious little manager, isn't he. Any other manager in the league would have started Suarez, but he knows better than most,Genious.

Liverpool top of table, I can't see us dropping down past 7th all season. I predict a 3rd place finish, But who knows? Maybe this is the year.

Well that's all for now, stop complaining, Liverpool is back

20 Aug 2011 17:34:21
Oh how fickle fans we are suddenly Meireles is a god after one good game and Henderson is a sinner after one game as well.
Get a grip on yourself and sort your lives out.We came to the Emirates expecting to roll Arsenal over and you know what they were resiliant with a very good new boy I think in Frimpong and Lansbury personally I think Ramsey had a nightmare of a game not just the own goal but he was caught time and again in posession and will really not want to look back on this one.
We have a great team but personally I think at times we looked very average not singularly but the whole team looked very square and then there were moments of pure bliss where super runs were being made and great passing allowed us a shot on goal.
We have to remember that for all of the ability we have in our team an Arsenal team without some main players still have great depth and Wenger is a man who spots talent a mile away the only thing they really lack is experience.Unfortunately we have that gritty nature about us full of players who have been there done it and come out on top so we knew that wearing them down with posession would get to them and it did.
No player out on that pitch didnt deserve to be there they all played a great game and I believe that like Kenny said it is all about tuning the team now and getting them to know their teammates and forming an understanding of what each one wants when the other is on the ball.
You cant acquire quality on the ball you either have it or you dont and our players have that but what you can get better at is speed and knowledge of where to apply that quality so the other player can benefit and this is something I think at times during the game Liverpool were unsure of.

They were second guessing at times where to put the ball instead of instantly knowing where and when to put it.
Obviously quality will shine through and you could see that when the right decisions were made we opened Arsenal up and pressured them with great passing all the way from Reina through the defence and the midfield and up to our forwards they all looked very comfortable at times and this will only get better once they are more familliar with each other.
We went to the Emirates and granted with 11 men the game looked stale and for all our posession and shots we werent breaking them down but you could see the frustration in the Arsenal team they never shoot from outside the box they normally play neat one twos through a defence a little too much for my liking but they win games so who am i too question.
But they were getting frustrated and with a solid backfour and a midfield constantly harassing them they were forced to take every opportunity they could and made some good chances from it but still they were out of their comfort zone of controlled psosession and forcing teams to try and throw as many behind the ball as possible leaving them in constant posession receiving hoofed balls out of defence and returning quickly to attack.
We had them on the backfoot applying their game tactic and forced them to try and do this but they are not used to it and failed miserably.
Then Frimpong made the fatal mistake of getting a second booking and sent off. what should have been a straight red tackle on henderson before was justified now but still we were finding it hard to break them down as Carroll was having a good contest with Vermaelen and to be fair to Vermaelen Arsenals very own Agger he was up to the job but Carroll shown his quality a number of times and I think he was unlucky not too score myself.
Kenny then brings on Suarez and Meireles and the game is then changed even though the first was an own goal it showed how two substitutes can completely change our style of play I believe that Suarez has more to do with this than Meireles who is a good player but not a style changer just an adapter to whichever style is needed.
Both came on any way and showed their class like we knew they would but lets not look at the individual lets look at a very clever design by Clarke and Dalglish.
We know Suarez is class and everyone on here says he came on and played a blinder with Meireles your wrong to just look at the individual look at the team we can switch styles of play which must be a nightmare for other teams and managers up and down the country what style will we bring to them it was like watching another team when Suarez came on suddenly the ball was used in a completely different way and Arsenal could not cope with the skill at which we used it suddenly the defenders were having to positionally be much more aware and just left massive holes for Suarez to go into then others were joining in with more options and the free flowing football just ended up detsroying them.
Many will say we should have had Suarez on earlier but the fact is we won 2-0 whos to say if we had done it different we might have lost so as far as I can see Kenny played a blinder maybe not the rout we hoped for but a convincing win for me and the team can only get better.

Hi, i'd like to say some things after Arsenal match.
We couldn't win "that" Arsenal 11 on 11 and we needed the red card to win and we are happy with our team? Sorry but i was bored with our midfield, they couldn't make a right pass and i think we need more creativity there. Jose was very good on the left hope he continues and i think we still need a CB even if skrtel comes back
I wouldn't sell meireles thats for sure, and still think we need a back up striker...i'd love to see higuain in the team but i know it is very difficult, they would make a lovely trio with caroll and suarez.....

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 17:29:30
Jose Enrique is a very good player, reminds me a bit of John Arne Riise, apart from the lack of shot. Plus he is an absolute unit, quality signing KK Also a quick mention for Stewart Downing.....what a player, works hard and will be quality this season.

Who's this Steven Gerrard bloke by the way? Cant wait to have our captain back.

Well done today lads, bring on the next game

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 17:28:13
don't get anyone slagging off any of our players as it is but why are so many people on here slagging off charlie adam for being TOO SLOW? He wasnt bought because he was a speed merchant he was bought to fill a role in midfield because of his passing ability, very much like alonso did, how fast was xabi? come to think of it how fast is modric, lampard, barry, carrick? he makes up for his lack of pace by sending 35 yard passes to the wings to the players who DO have pace (downing/suarez/enrique etc) to set up attacks

all the doubters really starting to get on my nerves now

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 17:25:33
i don't know why are we looking for a CB we have carra,agger,skrtel,kyrigiakos,kelly and so on . lots of players .when johnson comes we can use kelly as a CB to.infact in a match you can sub only 3 player so why wasting money on a CB rather we should use all the money to bring a quality striker.like zarate or higuain.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 17:24:17
hi eds great job you guys,I agree with the poster in regards to miereles he actualy looked angry,even though any promisses made to him was with other
management surely some agreement can be reached
to put a smile on his face and maintain liverpool
good name,last but not leased hes a pretty good player.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 17:24:05
Today's game showed that we are a confient team going forward and that the defence is also coming together quite nicely- a few hairy moments but all in all they coped very well- Agger is likely to miss a few games so having cover in Cahill ( also to give Carra a rest occaionally) will be welcome. When I saw the line up my first reaction was also oh no why is Suarez not starting but when I thought about it and with the outcome it made perfect sense. Arsenal are always dangerous at the Emirates- contain them for a large part of the game (and Carroll was on so that he could hall the ball up in their half)and go for the jugular 20 mins from the end with the attacking force of Meireles and Suarez.
Who needs the tactical genius of Mourinho or Benitez when we have the KING

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 17:24:03
So on the espn broadcast here in he US you could very clearly see miereles flip the bird to either the fans behind the goal or the keeper after the suarez goal. Suarez very quickly grabbed his hand to cover it up during the celebration. Just wondering if you guys across the pond saw it and if you think he might get susspended for it.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 17:23:33
Great result today, to win against Arsenal away. Well done lads.
I thought a draw would have been a good result, given its only
the second game of the season and the team is still evolving. Credit to Dalglish, as soon as the red card came in he instantly went for the kill bringing on Suarez and Raul.

Some possitive thoughts:
(+1) The defense was fantastic today. Last week I wrote Enrique looked class and this hugely underestimated him. Kelly also looks
very strong, I think Johnson is going to find it very difficult to get back in the team. Carra also had a great game.

(+2) Why I love Suarez? He's so attack minded, as soon as he gets the ball there's only one thing in him mind and that's attacking that goal and from what ever position he is. When we were one nil up he was looking for two and two up looking for three. Sheer class.

some other thoughts:
It was not a classic team performance. Clearly Liverpool are going to be a completely different team at the end of the season than the beginning they need to get a bit more battle hardened and used to playing together. Were moving forward and upward

carroll £35mill
it wasnt untill he & kuyt went off that we started playing football(the lfc way) short passes, give & go's it was slick football - downing, adam, meireles & the god who is SUAREZ looked red hot
is it just me or is anyone else slightly worried about the way we play with carroll in the team - i just dont think is a top class player - he is a mid table player(maybe slightly better) not a trophy winning player
but as we say 'in kenny we trust', so lets hope he comes good :)

Apologies to the Eds, this was a great website but I won't be visiting it ever again because the stupidity of some fans is mind boggling; this is no fault of the eds who are great but the fault of pretend fans who have no clue of football and would know what supporting a team was if it killed them. We would go unbeaten and win the league and the so called fans would moan. Not that but they are beyond deluded and rude. Henderson was good and so was Carroll but they have no knowledge of football and because they didn't score 50 goals they sucked. To add to the fans praising Suarez's performance as he scored an open goal and that was it really. Plus the deluded transfer fans who believe we are getting every Tom, person and Harry. And then there are the epitome of my anger is those who wanted Raul out until conveniently he sets up a goal and is the answer to all our issues, likewise with the Aquilani saga. Another example is Maxi; crap until he gets two hat tricks, fair enough but he is now seen as a messiah. He isn't good enough but because he scores a few goals he is seen as better than a future England regular. Best Fans in the world; Ha don't make me laugh. Maybe 20 years ago, moan moan moan, 2-0 victory against Arsenal Away and they moan. Sick to death of these so called fans.

Quite pleased with todays result although there was a few nervy moments , Carroll looked hungry, Kelly impressed, Downings involvement was good, Enrique was awesome & Suarez took his goal well.

Anyone else see a resemblence between Carroll & Crouch in the sense off refs decisions against them already?

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 17:09:46
I haven't seen Henderson play in the flesh yet, and have watched enough football to know that the TV pictures never do a player justice. I'm sure Henderson did loads of important work off the ball that some fans just don't appreciate. Were any of you at the game today who'd like to give an honest appraisal of his performance?
I think he's a great prospect and will peak in the next couple of years. No better place for him to be to perfect his trade than under the guidance of Kenny and the influence of Stevie G.

I don't know why anyone has not mentioned the great job Martin Kelly did this game. He looked a liitle more secure than Enrique but both did a good job.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 17:01:29
Reading through the posts, i just had to post a reality check-post to all my liverpool bretheren - the negative ones.

1. in case you didn't notice - we won 2-0 i think it was...

2. we bossed the game, on the whole. we out-possessed arsenal at the emirates - regardless of the sending off. that in itself is a massive positive and step forward (especially when you consider what roy would've done) we went there to play and get a result.

3. the players we have at our disposal is a far cry from rafa's days when we had Djimi Traore and Biscan on the bench today we had maxi, raul, luis, skrtel off top of my head with johnson, cole, aqua, soto, aurelio and gerrard not even involved. that shud tell you something. going in the right direction

4. i can understand why hendo was played by KK. a grafter, yeah maybe he didn't make a killer pass or last ditch tackle but he put a shift along with kuyt. adam was a little lazy and his forte (set pieces) was poor by his own standard. but again only 2nd game - it will come. think back to alonso having shockers, giving the ball away or crap tackles. adam needs to increase his fitness and he'll be fine. same with caroll, needs to increase his fitness and he'll be fine.

5. Lucas was a monster in midfield, shackling ramsey. very under-rated. enrique looked v solid, had walcott in his back pocket all game. one position def solved.

6. defence looked assured with kelly back in, had a good game. carra doesn't look off the pace as some said last week, his experiece will see him through. agger again solid - just needs to be kept fit

7. downing another good game, just what we've been missing since the days of macca - someone who can carry the ball, at pace. his left foot is his wand. more to come and for me best buy this summer.

imo we can still add to this squad. i would get another winger/attacker but right footed. someone like affellay/eljero. and a Cb such as cahill. although i would imagine he would want to play therefore get Dann in and groom to takover from carra.

overall i'm happy with what i'm seeing. this team/squad with 1-2 additions should be right up there.

KK knows where the faults & improvements lie. yes there were some points where we could have been better, but it is only the 2nd game. last weeks 1st half performance plus today's give me real confidence for the season, as i know they can only get better.

afterall he's won eveything there is to win in football, whereas we haven't. i think the word 'trust' comes to mind.

Great performance today. I think this shows how much we would regret losing Meireles. Made an instant impact, love the guy, versatile in midfield, hope he stays on
Team is gelling, we got that luck and it just gave so much confidence. I cant help but feel refs have it in for Carroll - gets blown up all the time, poor lad. I'm sure he'll break through soon and go on rampage.
Look how much time it took Crouchy to get going. Then he went on scoring all the time. Once Carroll gets going again, he'll be unstoppable.
Suarez was fantastic - what an impact. He is going to be huge this season.
Midfield was much sharper, in particular Henderson looked more comfortable.
Good to see Agger back and had a solid game.
Kelly and Enrique were both outstanding for me. Really provide strength on the wings when going forward.
Great result, well done lads Bring on Bolton

We've just had an away win against our main competitor for a top 4 place. This was a 6 point game in terms of Champions League qualification. We've won away to Arsenal for the first time in 10 years. We've managed to give Suarez a much needed rest, picked up no injuries, and are a week closer to the return of Gerrard and Johnson. We have 4 points from our first 2 games and are top of the table for a couple of hours.

Despite all this, a large number of posts are negative. The only players from our starting 11 not to receive some criticism are Reina, Downing and Kelly. Dalglish is criticised for not starting Suarez and Meireles, starting Henderson, buying Carroll, not buying Mata and trying to sell Aquilani.
For god sake, quit the continual whining and try supporting the team occasionally.
Other teams envy us for the loyalty of our supporters, and I believe we have the best supporters in the world. Unfortunately, we also have some of the worst.

20 Aug 2011 16:48:49
Those of you are still slating Henderson and Carroll really need to think about what KK is doing.

Carroll is 22 and Jordan is 21, they both are young and have plenty of time to develop.

I do agree that Jordan had a bad game, but cut him some slack, he isn't Steven Gerrard yet, he can't give those killer passes yet. You just have to wait.

As for Carroll, just because he didn't score, doesn't he mean he didn't play well, he worked his butt off trying to get to those balls and deserves some credit.

What we have now is DEPTH and depth wins titles. We can only have 11 players fielding on a pitch. Look at the back 4 today, we have 2 main others vying for a place there (Johnson, Aurelio). Midfield was Adam, Lucas and Henderson, we have (Spearing, Gerrard, Meireles, Shelvey) all vying for the front. Wings were Kuyt and Downing (Maxi) upfront we can play all 3 of Carroll, Suarez and Kuyt. So basically we are trying to field 18 players into a single pitch. This is very GOOD, it allows players to get the best out of them.

Now all of you slaters please get your back behind Kenny and trust him to do his job. He knows a hell of a lot more then you do.

Fair bit of negativity on here after what was a great result , the team is still in a transition period so early in the season with so many new additions. Lets stop beating up our own and give them the time and support they need and deserve. Remember the hopeless situation we were in 12 months ago , how far we have come . Keep the faith and support as we have always done with hope in our hearts, if you cant you might want to consider if you truly support our great team.

Arsenal were missing a couple of players today and much has been said about that.
But we ourselves are Missing the best Captain and midfielder in the Premier in Stevie Gerrard and today in my opinion the best right back in Glen Johnson and are also in the process of totally rebuilding the Squad.
So people need to look at the bigger picture?
Were improving fast and we'll get even better with a few more good results under our belts; giving all the players even more confidence and belief in themselves, the Manager and the Club To me it Looks like we just need some of so called whining supporters onside.
A 2-0 at Arsenal is always a Great Result.

Well done to Kenny and the team for picking up three points at Arsenal. It was a good time to be meeting the gunners for a variety of reasons but regardless of this it was a good result and thoroughly deserved.

The king had a definite plan for the 90 minutes and it was great to see us with such a strong bench with options. Meireles and Suarez did well when they came on but it was a team effort aimed at extracting a result.

All our signings look capable and I accept that some still need to play themselves into some form. This does not mean they are poor players. We are not firing on all cylinders yet but it is early in the season and we have 4/6 points.

Once it clicks I think it will be awesome.

Hi eds great website by the way What a difference a week makes eh? To all those negative blue nose posters from last week What a great team performance Lucas and Enrique looked solid It would be a bonus if we got Cahill but I honestly don't think we need him, if anything we just need a back up striker, you gotta admit though that Suarez and meiriles looked good when they came on Do we really need to sign anyone else just fir the sake of it??

20 Aug 2011 16:34:07
Hi eds I was pleased that we passed the ball much
better and too are own players ,no big boot which makes me happy,its easy to find fault but in all they did very well against what was put in front of them.if i had to choose between a new c/d or forward id go with the latter but he must be special
not a bench warmer someone to compliment saurez.
henderson is not quite ready to start its differcult
for management to except that after paying 16/20 mill but they must.while last week was a disappointment today was very encouraging.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 16:31:33
great to be top of the league even if it may come to an end shortly, rumour has it Kenny has bid for an old style brewers dray, apparently Carroll the carthorse is lost without one.

Great game today we pwnd arsenal. meireles was good with suarez, starting to feel that we should NOT sell him. Keep him, sell aquaman, and loan spearing and shelvey if we have to. Cant wait for next week vs bolton. hopefully cahill will hav signed by then.......

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 16:12:40
kuyt needs to be droped his passing,shooting and drbbling was rubbish today,henderson is a waste of space,adam looked slow,
downing looked good iproving every game,enrique man of the match,carrol not the best of games but the goals will come

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 16:11:40
hi ed.

i think i got it right
ARSENAL 0 LIVERPOOL 2

The lads played very well ,carroll was again unfortunate with the ref. calls.
But all in all 3 points in the bag.
Just one thing ed. I want to clear all douts of people here that KK is very clever he bought all english players this summer coz they are trustworthy n loyal.
Mata, aguero all are 23 years of age. when they will be at their peak at 25-26 the clubs like BARCA, Madrid will come in for them and their first team players say some words and get their targets , just like fabregs saga xavi n all saying and getting their man when he was about to be at his peak.
so KK is clever n knows well.
A good tem is building now.
n ed u know that JOHN CENA is a liverpool fan coz he is from boston redsox n we have the same owner.
Master stroke by KK to keep Suarez on bench till 70 mins.

Red is in my blood

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 16:09:18
first time post, regular visitor. can't believe the negative rants about carroll. he came up against an inspired vermaeln today but thats the beauty of a strong squad. when was the last time we had a bench that won us the game. carroll will win us games, probably when suarzez is off his game(not likely ). stop moaning and support team. o ya good win 2. scarface

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 16:08:09
ed do u agree we shud move 4 either moussa sow, pogrebnyak or papiss demba cisse as bak up strikers we shud buy 1 of these {Ed002's Note - No, it is not going to happen.}

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 16:04:53
Any win at the Emirates is a good result. All of the top teams would bite your hand of now for a 2-0 win. The only way to do that is thru team work, from Reina to Henderson to Carroll. Anyone who thinks that you can go there with players who under achieve & still win really knows very little about football. Well played Liverpool, roll on the next game

i think we shud get rid of carroll and henderson asap(carrol now, hendo jan)

sell carroll for 30mill n bid 4 higuain/villa

sell hendo for 15mill n bid 4 alonso

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 16:01:24
meireles looks an angry man..not sure if its been mentioned or if anybody else noticed the middle finger salute after suarez scored? someone quickly pulled his hand down though. upset with losing starting place or lack of improved contract?

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 16:01:23
Some points to note to the moaners:
1) 1st league win at Arsenal in 10 years
2) Only Second competitive game with new players integrating
3) Clean sheet
4) BBC stats show we had more possession, shots on target, shots off target AWAY FROM HOME against Arsenal
5) Perfectly timed substitutions, bringing a livewire on as players were tiring, their defender had cramp at the time.
6) We won 2-0

I didn't even notice Walcott as Enrique had him sussed, an sitting amongst Arsenal fans they were all fed up with him, and to think some people on here want him at Liverpool.
Liverpool were composed, and controlled the match. Think back to last year when we had an appalling away record, I know this is only the first away game, but we had more endeavour than any away performance we saw under Hodgson.

I am speechless at the people slating a 2-0 away win, it beggers belief, I can only assume they support other teams and are on a wind up, worried about a resurgent Liverpool. Gotta be that surely? Why else would a FAN slate their team after winning? I got back on the bus to Camden full of Arsenal fans and they were miserable, and they LOST, so why are some Liverpool fans feeling that way after winning,a s if it's ruined their day?

It's made my day, and set up a great weekend, have a good one to all real Liverpool fans

we should not let the victory over arsenal hide our display. playing henderson ahead of mereiles or maxi is criminal, he does not offer anything to the team now and not in nearest future. he looked lost on the pitch. his movement was bad, tackling was not good and general play absolute nothing. we nearly threw the oppurtunity away. lfc can not to have carrol and hendo on the pitch at tne same.pls kk, sort this out. we played poorly against a poor arsenal side. dont let us get carried away, we were poor.

20 Aug 2011 15:54:33
Does anyone know why meirless put his middle finger up after our second goal and looked very miffed, Was it after being dropped then coming on and having an immediate impact and linking up so well with louis ?
I hope it wasn't in anyway a dig at the king as i respect meirless and like him as a player but love KK and there's only one winner there

Happy with the resultvery disappointed with certain players Adam o.k a few nice through balls today but his mobility very questionable way to slow.Henderson way off the pace and s**t out of 2 50/50's he should of won plus his control of the ball on occasions when passed to was truly awful
Also with regards to Carroll when he won headers or flick Ons the midfield were not close enough to feed of him but he ran his plums off for the team,give him 6 games and you will see him back to himself.meireles was very good as was Suarez all in all ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY
Well done boys you can only beat what's in front of you

who here agrees that henderson should at least be dropped from the frist team next game to give him a wake up call?

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 15:50:40
we couldve drew that today,cosve the lackve pace thats needed before suarez and meireles came on.thought carrol did better than last week.downing m.o.m for me.enrique not far behind.hendersen didnt contribute much.adam poor,slow,but better 2nd half.when fit,like to see johnson infrontve kelly.and miereles situ solved.cos hes a terry mac type,arrive late in box midfielder,who scores goals.the subs tilted it,and showed pace is key.got loadsve passers.buy pace kennyalso if any transfer targets are torn between us and arsenal,surely they see were the team on the way upwouldnt be surprised to see arsenal go outve europe

Come on can we not even after a great win just leave off the players particularly the young ones. It was get rid of Raul keep Aqualani,i always said the opposite,Raul wants to play for us,Aqualani doesn't. Show him the money. Cant belive Carroll is gettin slagged on here again,would love to see his stats re passing accuracy because he was spot on most of the time. It was just a great battle between him and Vermulen. He did what his job is,hold the ball up,lay it off get in the box. He was very tidy. Henderson worked hard but all those slaggin him now will end up eating your words. Give young players a chance, he's a quality player who'll come good,cant belive some are still moaning after that. Seriously get a life or support Liverpool, just like the guy who gave someone a 4 in his crummy effort of giving rating's to players then Giving Luis 10 tryin for a few agree's their me thinks,Enrique and Raul M were just as important but you never gave them 10,Downing was class were was his 10,. I'm happy and proud of every single one the players and to call myself a Liverpool supporter, not a piss and moaner. In K.K i trust, and always will. Jonson6

Tongue in cheek, but Kenny buying Henderson has been a mastersroke of his management skills, Henderson now takes all the flack and the pressures off Lucas, allowing Lucas to now become our midfield general...

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 15:41:45
Professional performance today, really impressed with Enrique & Downing + donkey work by Lucas & kuyt.

But Suarez is just special - all the fuss in the media & on these pages re Aguero - Suarez out did him in copa n just doesn't look good against Swansea but destroys any defender, ever seen him have a mare 4 us?

Lay off hendo n ESP Carroll he is the real deal.

We all know how good a player Suarez is but i think we're overlooking the talents of Meireles, he is a typical attacking mid, we need some1 like him if we're to challenge for silverware. I hope the issue with his pay is osrted soon so we can carry on seeing him play for us this season

Great game today. Played the gunners at their own game and played them off the park. Great that we have such a strong bench too. It shows we have the depth to cope with a serious challange this year. merilies was great when he came on and I would hope we will keep him. Still work to be done on the transfer market with a CB(Cahill)hopefully, and a striker with pace as we seem a bit slow going forward. Aqua man is gone and if we can manage to get rid of the "DEADWOOD" it will be a great job done by the LFC team. A question for the ED's... Do you think that the "deadwood" are happy not to even make the bench every week? I can't see how Cole and the likes will be happy watching the PL from their living rooms. They must have the message now and with Johnson and Gerrard to come back there is no way they will make the team. I know money is important but they can get good money and football elsewhere??? {Ed002's Note - I am of the opinion that fans should give there support to the players at their club.}

Good performance today from the lads, 1st win at the Emirates, clean sheet, another goal for Suarez. Happy Days

Let's not get carried away, this was not the strongest Arsenal team around (weakended further after the sending off), but we beat what was put in front of us and thats all you can ask of the team.

Suarez and Meireles changed the game, we always looked most likely to get a goal, but when they came on you knew it was a matter of when rather than if the goal would come.

All the summer signings contributed,
Enrique was immense and if he keeps performing like that will be a snip at £6m Adam controlled the midfield alongside Lucas - he kept possession well and although some of his passes didn't come off the intent was there. What impressed me most was the defensive side of his game - he pressed and tackled fairly well.
Henderson was neat and tidy, I think there is a lot more to come from the lad, he just needs time to settle.
Downing always looked dangerous in the final 3rd, put in some good crosses and would of had a goal but for a decent save from Szecney (sp.)

Allround a good performance, bring on Bolton next week

For the second game of the season I'll take that result all day long. Some highly encouraging performances again. The difference between this season and last was that our bench was stacked full of talent and Kenny used it to perfection. This was an improvement on last week and we will keep on improving. For the team to peak at this time of the season would be a worry. Well done all. They all played their part.

Just back from the match. Arsenal played better than I imagined with the players out but some inexperience showed in Frimpongs cards, Carroll getting some stick here but don't think it's deserved, for once Arsenal's defence played well to team up on Carroll and nullify him, bit more support in those occasions could have created some more chances. Downing played very well, Adam too so not so sure why he's getting some stick aswell, he broke up some play and spread the ball well. Henderson showed improvement and was better than he is being given credit for, these are new players settling in to the team, and will only get better. Enrique was excellent and after Suarez tired last week, getting him on at the end paid dividends. Can't fault anyone's performance, it was an excellent 3 points.

Player ratings

Reina-8: Solid when called onto, but not really much to do apart from the two shots by van Persie and Frimpong

Kelly-8: Solid defending once again against Sagna and Arshavin. Didn't think he was at his best having been half a year without competitive football but another game or two should fix that. Showed why he should be our first choice right back

Carragher -6: Rather clumsy but did his job nevertheless, get the ball away when called upon to from our box.

Agger-6 Thought he looked rather shaky in the first half but did better as the game wore on. Hope he can play more than 40 games this season.

Enrique-8: Solid defending, completely shut out Walcott from the game. Did rather well offensively too.

Lucas-7: Thought he struggled against Nasri and Frimpong in the first half. But did his job and kept possession well in midfield.

Henderson-4: Didn't even notice he was on the pitch. He needs to know that he is at Liverpool Football Club and not Sunderland and fit in with our style of play. Somehow everything seemed to bypass him. Even when he got the ball I felt he reacted far too slowly. Still, he's young and I'm willing to be patient, especially after two competitive games.

Kuyt-4: Gave away possession a lot, but you could see his effort. Gave his usual 110% to the cause. Now you see why we need him.

Downing-8: Very good game. Good on the ball and his crosses are brilliant as well. Very dangerous. I see a promising partnership on the left with he and Enrique forming.

Carroll-6: He was marked well by Vermaelen today, lacked pace but improved a lot from last week. Still not convinced of his price tag and starting position however.

Suarez-10: Do I need to say anything?

Meireles-8: Linked up well with Suarez and Lucas. Was part of both goals that we scored. Impact substitute when we need fresh legs in the 70th minute, perhaps? Think he should start ahead of Henderson however.

reina-superb
kelly-fantastic,solid defend and attack,strong
carra-experience
agger-sometime look like lost but solid
enrique-best left back,fantastic defend and attack,MOTM
lucas-solid but slow
adam-good at all,improve,doesn't give easy fault
downing-solid winger
kuyt-good,hardworking player,supposedly not to change him
henderson-not good enough,just play safe
carrol-not good enough,slow
meireles-superb play
suarez-world class player can change game.

i think next game just change meireles to henderson and carrol to suarez...

liverpool should consider buy new striker to replace carroll

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 15:12:32
Yeeessss So happy with the lads today The lads played a good passing game today as a team, and as I said before, nobody doubt the King, the subs were perfectly timed, and we didn't need to use Suarez the whole game. Got to worry about Arsenal, falling apart atm with injuries, suspensions and a player exodus. Hopefully we won't slag players off anymore, it's a team sport, not individual.

Thanks

20 Aug 2011 15:18:16
Fantastic performance by RAUL and LUCAS, we have to keep them both, raul over aquaman ANY day. ENRIQUE and DOWNING were boss and C. ADAM was lively too, and CARROLL tried hard.

Why is Mereiles being slated for a transfer to Chelsea? I'm a True Blue and first may i say thanks for beating the rubbishe out of the Gooners :) very big thanks to Carroll for injuring Koscielny ;) But seriously Mereilles made both of the goals Though Chelsea FC will happily take him off your hands ;)

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 15:14:38
Im very reluctant to say this, but i think maybe that is what KK had planned for this fixture. Our first half was pretty dismal, although i think Downing and Enrique were excellent considering. Carroll seems somewhat lost, but he did what was expected of him considering the circumstances, and that was to tire out the defence.
Bringing Suarez and Miereles on when he did, tore the defence apart, and shows that we do have class, but we are some way off from being able to sustain attack for a full 90 mins.
I think Hendo is still some way off from being a starter, but he is very young and no doubt giving time and guidance he will prove to be an asset. To early to slag his performances, he will be a great player for us in the future.
Jury is still out on Adam. Im not sure he has what it takes to play at this level, but i will give him time like the rest to sort out his game and hopefully he will step up.
I do think that we seriously need a playmaker in the middle of the park, creativity is what we lack, and yes Gerrard is out but we cannot rely on Stevie until we know he is injury free. KK bring in a playmaker, especially if you are going to get rid of Aqua.
Our backline looked solid, Agger was great both in defence and carrying the ball forward, and Kelly was just superb. Looking good, just need that little bit of spice and we will be a team to fear. Any chance of cloning suarez?? lol
Well done boyz...YNWA

Ok so its not particularly fluent yet but a win at arsenal is always a top result. Suarez is a world beater and will be even better when hes being fed by Stevie. Downing is going to prove a good signing I feel.
Enrique looks a top signing, Adam can play better and even if he can't improve loads he'll still be a good squad player. Henderson is getting masses of stick but I think I see something there for the future although I don't want to see him starting every week. I hope Meireles stays as he's got a bit of guile, Kuyt works tirelessly even when it isn't going his way but I'd rather see him used up front only
Last but by no means least, Andy Carrol, I always thought the bloke was crap and boy was I right I've heard some refer to him on here as "one of the most feared strikers in Europe" you know who you are What a joke
That said I still hope he proves me wrong like Lucas seems to be doing

Eds, how do you continually read the crap that people send in and not break the computer in frustration every time? Some clown wrote Enrique looked "shaky"? WTF? And Carroll is useless blah blah blah. Christ i hope i never end up watching a game in the same room as these people, it would be like visiting a morgue. Tip of the hat to all the Eds, you must be a calm, collected lot.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 15:02:46
Solid performance, defence was very good, Lucas played well with Adam, however Adam's delivery today was very poor. Kuyt was also poor in possession and lacked game intelligence, I think we need another stiker with pace and creativiy

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 14:59:26
Dissappointed with adams corner kicks... He was whipping them in with pace last season... Today he floated too many deep for caroll when caroll should be outjumping in the 6 yard box .

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 15:01:53
Well played,top game,Fripong coulda had 4 yellows. It seemed strange at the time but i think after the rest Kun got and his performance after coming on influenced K.K's decision use Luis from the bench. My mate and i put 4,1 pound bets on the match,2 each,i know last of the big spenders ha. One being Liverpool to win 2-0 with Suarez to score last at 70-1 ha ha. I dont drink but i'm an Amsterdam type of guy and he's gonna come round and have a great night watching the match again then m.o.t.d. Brilliant,Enrique bargain of the season no doubt 6 mil. Add a 1 in front of that now if you ask me. A very happy for a change,Jonson6

While looking at the fixtures list before the start of the season, many would have been satisfied to beat Sunderland at Anfield & get a draw against Arsenal at the Emirates. It didn't exactly go as plannned but it worked out similarly.

Good result for the club today first win at the emirates.. Lucas was solid once again..(did his usual foul at the edge of the box) lol. Carrol was shut down by Verm.. Adam was good and bad his flaw is he is pretty slow. Jordan did good especially at the end when he moved out wide... Carra and D.agger were solid.. Downing was sharp but was kind of stuck with how sloppy the game was in general so couldnt really do his thing...KUTY freaking hustled hard like always lol but today did a lot of tracking back..ok job. kelly was in beast mode and should always start in my opinion. Reina being world class like always. and the stand out player of the game to me was JOSE ENRIQUE he fathered Theo Walcott and showed that he was worth the 15m fat ashley was asking for..lol what a steal.. SUAREZ at full fitness will be a MONSTER for us and Raul is def staying once aquaman is gone they will give him a pay rise. they changed the attack in the final third when they came on... good subs by the king we finally have depth :)

Henderson may be one for the future, but should not be starting, imo, and wont be when Gerrard is fit.

Carrol, no pace, lacks ball control, but does get defenders worried and creates space. We lack pace on the counter attack and give reams the chance to get back and regroup.

I also get extremely worried when we get a lead and start passing it around. we shoukd stick to trying to go forward, the team has not been together enough yet to be confident enough to close a game out, imo.

The team did well and will only improve, but this game showed that we need a pacy striker to get on the end of those defence splitting balls that Adam played in a couple of times.

20 Aug 2011 14:55:58
I'd just like to congradulate Liverpool on a quite brilliant win today. That first goal came right off the training ground, I take it? How you managed to beat an Arsenal team that played Sagna out of position, gave debuts to three youngsters (one of which got himself sent off), had to play Nasri (couldn't give a sht about the result of the game), an over-weight Arshavin, and an awful Aaron Ramsey, I'll never know... Bravo

But seriously, you have to wonder why your manager bought The Lamppost. He was absolutely useless again. And Henderson? £20m? He plays like a donkey. If Hodgson had spent a combined £55m on those two, you'd all be calling for his head.

But anyways, well done for beating the worst Arsenal team of the last 15 years... ;)

Matthew...

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 14:55:14
honestly i think good play by each and everyone..we win as team and lose as team..no doubt some players are better then others but defo more and better to come from carroll who for me done well.was left on his own on most time.i think dirk kuyt is better as striker as other positions he cant play well nd maybe i would prefer cretive forward/winger on right then him. Henderson is young and will improve and how on earth we expect Adam to play briliant just in 2 games. more we play together more better we get.remember in team its WE not I.another right winger. cretive striker/forward and centre back and we will be in CL for next season.

We should stop slating Carroll, him and Suarez are two different players and KK incorperates both of them in his plan. So what if he didn't get a goal? We won and it was a team effort that pulled us through. Arsenal, whilst weakened, are still capable of scoring and the whole team had to work hard. We lost the ball alot, and I think it is because the team is getting use to each other.

Downing, Enrique, Kelly and Henderson all played well with Suarez and Meireles playing well off the bench. I have to say it is looking alot brighter for us and hopefully we can keep going.

"Henderson,Adam and Carroll just not good enough."

Who ever wrote that doesn't have a clue about football. That was written sometime early in the 2nd half. We won 2-0 and that was a great "squad" win. Lucas was immense. Both FB's especially Kelly looked class. But what can you say about KK. Perfectly timed subs. Raul and Luis were both amazing. The reason we will be close is because we have possibly 15 starters trying to get in 11 spots. That's what we need . Another great performance. 4 points towards our 15 I want by end of Sept and 25 by Octobers end. We go top for now and it looks very nice from up there. YNWA.

I wonder if the haters of our new signings will hold their hands up? Not the most convincing of wins, but still, a win at the emirates is a massive step forward. Hopefully this will give the new players a good boost going into the next few games.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 14:48:55
Enrique is the signing of the summer looks so solid, great pace as well... didnt notice walcott on the pitch. Great signing

Still work in progress but a great result and at last that little bit of luck we needed. I'd have taken 4 points from Sunderland and Arsenal just thought it'd be the other way round :) . Thought we looked sharper and more dangerous when Meireles and Suarez came on. Much more mobile and their defenders were much more nervous Is there a lesson there?

A good win. And I ashamed of some so-called fans on here. Sure, we can play better, and Arsenal were understrength and a man down later in the game. But we'll take time to develop and get used to playing together - we are a side in transition. The negativity on here is ridiculous. I see one poster had even resorted to having a go at Lucas again, saying he's not good enough. Come on. Get behind your team. Have some patience. Don't expect miracles right away, particularly from the likes of Henderson and even Carroll. It'll take time. How about abit of support and positivity people?

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 14:43:04
Yes the best birthday game iv wached in years masterstroke leaving saurez on the bench for when the arsenal players were tired hope raul m stays seriously liverpool have let me down badly on ma bday last few years im estatic ok wasnt the best perforrmance but wow enrique looks like the bargain of the decade nevermind year we can build on this an hopefully make a run at the league but would be seriously happy top 3 an title next year

Raul should have his money up to stay, a class act.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 14:40:34
Can someone tell me why we have spent so much money on Henderson, Adam and Carroll?

Raul Meireles must feel so hard done by, good player

Downing and Enrique are perfect together down the left though

Brilliant substitution KK Carroll softens them up and Suarez comes on and forces the issue. I hope all those 'fans' who've been having a go at the team selection have the decency to hold their hands up and say they were wrong. This was always the way we would play away from home against the top teams. Suarez will not start as many games away from home.

suarez comes on for 5 mins creates the goal. Much more than carroll managed for 70 mins Come on

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 14:23:07
Such a bad game of football....carrol is simply not up to standard, i dont care how fit he still needs to get...how long does it take the bloke. Full of praise for lucas, he looks confident and knows what hes doing, downing is a good signing, same with enrique. Henderson and Carroll......enough said really...dont buy from tyneside

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 14:22:04
That should have been a straight res no way was that just a yellow and second yellow cant believe how many empty seats there is at the emirates. Wow now saurez is os on we can win this game cant believe the diffference saurez makes to a game this will be our best chance we,l ever get to beat them 20 minutes I hope we can do this

Front three of Maxi, Suarez and Kyut scored bucket s end of last season why not try them again ?

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 14:19:43
Carroll off, Kuyt off, Suarez and Meireles on. Frimpong sent off

COME ON BOYS

20 Aug 2011 14:17:52
Henderson,Adam and Carroll just not good enough.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 14:16:41
KK need to bring suarez on now, I cannot believe he thinks that we can win this without our best player on the pitch And take Henderson off cos he ain't doing jack

Kenny is still the king but imagine if Hodgson had spent £100m to serve up this rubbish.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 14:12:20
aagggggggggggggghh cant stand hendersson

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 14:05:48
I remember Benitez getting so much flack for taking Torres off. I wonder if Kenny will get the same treatment for not playing suarez for 60 mins of this game... GET HIM ON

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 14:02:38
KK please teach Carroll the offside rule.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 14:02:38
WOW
First sign of trouble or performances that are not seen as exceptional and we start complaining and bitching.

I bet half you guys said "In Kenny we trust" but now your saying Kenny should do this, Kenny should play Suarez etc Believe in our king because he damn deserves it

Believe in King Kenny you morons that man has more experience then all of you idiots. So actually back up wat you promised and support Liverpool and King Kenny

I apologize to the Liverpool fans who truly support our side and back them 100% week in week out.

get suarez on

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:59:28
52 min gone,fkin get suarez on kenny

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:59:13
Carroll looks a threat. The main problem is lack of creativity.

Enough possession, but not being used


Hopeless Henderson ?

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:58:02
Seriously not good enough, must do better, we look so basic and are playing with no flair at all, disappointed fan

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:51:16
Playing or leaving out Kuyt is a difficult decision. He gives 110%, runs all day but his second touch is a tackle but then pops up and scores an important goal. Oh what to do.

Gazza

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:46:26
Agger, Enrique looking shaky, Lucas struggling against Nasri, Henderson missing.

we can seriously do much better than this. Cime on boys.

henderson isnt a lfc player, dont care what any u say in terms of been behind the team, el hadj diouf was fkn crap n u would all agree, hall him off n stick suarez on jesus whats he at not playing suarez,
5 gold stars

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:45:15
FOr 35 million punds i expect fireworks. TO be honest Carrol hasnt got a loud enough bang to rival even a party popper. 35 million... Imagine the players we coud have signed with that much money... I know we will here the ususal he has potential give him time... We paid 35 million the results should be evident now... {Ed001's Note - I am just going to start deleting idiotic posts mentioning 35m. What has that got to do with anything? He is a target man, that is how he should be judged.}

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:44:46
Have we no one better than Lucas to partner Adam in Cm. he cant tackle, too slow and dosent track, we cud do with Spearing instead to hound and track players , much better player IMO..first half was good all the new players are gell'n well, and the team as a unit. Suarez to come on second half at some stage, we still look like we can win this game.
RedJ

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:44:29
Downing and Enrique look very sharp, Lucas or Adam for me, not together, Henderson only getting into the game after 30 mins. Bit more movement and pace in the second half, give Suarez 30 mins and we'll have a good go.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:44:29
first half downing best threat so far.carrol better this week.were missing pace upfront.shows when suarez out,we=we need another pacey player.enrique done well.adam slow today at times.hendersens playing it safe.need to get players bursting beyond.maybe get maxi opposite flank,get suarez on

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:41:02
We are on top just not making most of the possession, lack creativity but when no one is running into the space in behind or taking too long to do so no chances can be made, well other than the fashionable punt to Carroll which without pace is highly ineffective, good thing is the bench has creativity in abundance, Maxi, Suarez and Raul, bring 2 on for Hendo and Adam and chances will increase a hell of a lot.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:39:39
I don't normally hav e a bad word to say against King Kenny. But seriousy benching suarez today. ABsolute shocker. HOW many times has Kuyt given the ball away. COme on Kenny he is or best player. We arent playing europe this season all we have is the premier league, you have to play our best players

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:38:48
From waching the game so far, we really are crying out for a player with football knowledge like mata who RUNS INTO THE SPACE, kuyt and HENDERSON are standing still looking for the ball instead of making runs into the space without the ball. This is BASICS of the game and this arsenal 2ND string are embarrasing us when they have the ball because it takes them 3 passes to get from the bottom to the top of the pitch amd it takes us an eternity of side to side passes? HENDERSON isn't doing it for me or showing enough ability and KUTY is a headless chicken.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:38:03
Don't mean to be all doom an gloom but that half was very poor we need that bit of flair e.g suarez. An kuyt today how many times has he give the ball away? Here hopeing for a better second half

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:30:14
A chance of a counter attack and we give it away(kuyt)m where is the 80million of improvement?

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:23:43
How fickle are some fans last week it was crying cos henderson started ove kuyt now kuyt started an most people want him off there,s no pleasing some people as for luis he,l be on in second half to terrorize a tired young arsenal defense were playing ok just need yo up the pace a little

20 Aug 2011 13:23:26
guys this aint a compaint.

i just dont see a good mix with lucas adam an henderson..i only see lucas manking tackles anc charlie adams making a few long balls......its not fast and furious like last yr when lucas spearing and miereles was in there..

does anyone see my point?

cos last yr we were in ppls faces and tough to beat..

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:20:14
no..kuyt is playing alright actually..hes getting onvolved down the wing...

im sorry but i can easily say our midfield is much better when adams is not alongside lucas.......but with lucas mireles ....and then adam with the more attacking role..cos its so stale at the moment..

and hendo...my god.........get involved ...just play

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:20:00
where can i wotch football?

my2p2 has gone???

Whats going on?

any1 know where i can watch the liverpool game {Ed002's Note - www.soccertvlive.net/}

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:15:14
Get kuyt off, having a shocker, keeps giving the ball away, his mistakes will end up costing us points. Ed, what do you think of the match so far? {Ed002's Note - I am not watching it. Sorry.}

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:09:59
Kuyt giving the ball away too much and Adam's free kicks are either brilliant or awful, no middle ground.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 13:08:56
Steady if unspectacular start need to step it up a gear.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 12:59:05
How many times has kuyt give the ball away now

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 12:52:44
Can't see anything but a draw at best with this line up no balance whatsoever

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 12:49:23
Hopefully we'll see the best of Henderson today. Playing through the middle.

-Shane.

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 12:33:59
Nasri to change shirts and come on as a liverpool player at half time...

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 12:33:08
Suarez on the bench? Strange decision but there must be a reason for Kenny to have done it. However, if we don't win there will no doubt be people on here saying Kenny should go.

Here's the pre-match reminder to get the match on your PC.

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 EPL 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.

20 Aug 2011 11:43:33
Arsenal What can I say? The best footballing team in the world bar none. I mean, when you play them with a midfield with Rosicky & Arshavin you just don't get a touch. Look how Arsenal destroyed Udinese the other night. I pretty sure they're not missing 2 bench warmers such as Nasri & Cesc.

Big Andy Carroll will be lucky to get a look in with such an imposing defender as Koscielny on his back. Listen, If we walk out of the Emirates only getting beat 4-0 today,that will be a good result. I just can't wait until we ay Qpr or Norwich at home Then we will show our true fighting strength & hammer both teams 1-1.

Anyway, have to go & get down to the bookies. If you've any sense you'll do the same & back the mighty Gunners to win 4-0, 5-0 Rover & out.

20 Aug 2011 11:33:26
Not meaning to be harsh on the lad but I hope that kenny prefers Kelly to be playing rb rather than Flanagan today. I know that he is young but I thought that he has a shocker last week and if walcott has his running boots on then we could have problems

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 11:15:57
Just a good luck wish and it is a very big good luck wish to El Zahr and Pacheco for their moves to Levante and Rayo Vallecano.

I wish them luck in getting paid. By all accounts Rayo players have not been paid for the last 3 months and have asked to take a 70% pay drop because they are in administration. levante, I think have not paud their players for a while and they even recently went on strike.

Spanish players are on strike this weekend because they are owed a collective €43 million in unpaid wages. They want that a player is free to leave if they have not been paid for three months.

Plus Spanish administration is a complete joke like most other aspects of La Liga management. Zaragoza put themselves in administration the day after they survived relegation so the club did not need to pay bonuses to the player. Under Spanish administration law a club is protected from its creditors but can still buy players without restrictions.

You really have to think what a players agent is doing by negotiating with clubs that do not pay a players salary? {Ed002's Note -

Hi Guys

I was the one who had the dream last time about Carrol scoring header against Arsenal and Downing providing the pass....I did also mention that I didn't see Fabregas playing in the Arsenal team for that game....I hope that the dream comes true....as Liverpool gonna win 2-1

20 Aug 2011 05:16:28
Lets hope we keep the ball on the ground no hoofing it out of defence and not all high balls into carroll hes scored some nice goals on the ground,in other words lets play football because arsenal will score 3/3

 

 

 

 

20 Aug 2011 04:35:39
I bet Andy Carroll scores more goals than Didier Drogba this season.
And more than Spanish chap too.

Hi eds, First time poster so i'm not sure where this post should go. Just wanna say that i'm really excited about this season. i just know that we're gonna be right up there fighting it out for the title. We haven't had an ideal start but we're only gonna get better. I read sometime back that the owners are gonna make a signing thats gonna shock and delight the supporters. Any ideas on who they're looking at? BTW fantastic site ed's

Im excited about this season and ive got real hope for us, more so than for the past few years. A bit sad i know but ive just been watching a montage of interviews of pre and post game interviews from KK on Youtube since his return. Wow he really does know the game and can conduct himself in an interview better than any manager out there. He has the interviewers in his pocket even with some of the harder, direct questions. It seems to me that we have got the most knowledgeable, even more canny,wiser and hungrier KK back. So we are lucky to have one of the best managers of football in the world at our club, trust in King Kenny...

I think we have really got to keep things in check,what ever team the arse put out at the emirates is going to be up for it,their starting eleven will be pretty good and keep the ball for long spells,we are a gelling team that has not had much of a pre-season together really so am i the only one whos expecting a tough game.
Don't get me wrong i think we're capable of winning but i actually think it will be a draw(which 3 weeks ago would have been more than exceptable),just because they have a few injuries we think we are going to roll them over,some of our best perfomances have been when our backs were against the wall,so i expect the arse will have a real go,i ask you to be patient with this new LIVERPOOL it won't happen over night but if we back them no matter what it will happen eventually.......
Thankyou fellow reds
