@ Gary will provide expert knowledge and analysis. It beats listening to Jamie Redknapp and Ian Dowie talking rubbish, they sound stupid and their lack of knowledge is there for all to see. Sky believe this will entice customers back. {Ed001's Note - but he has no expert knowledge, I have met him, he is clueless, incredibly thick and has no tactical expertise whatsoever. Another idiot to add to Dowie and Redknapp and that other clown they had giving 'expert' tactical opinions about teams ahead of the Champions League games.}

If "Sky believe this will entice customers back" then they are going the wrong way about it. It's not just us that can't stand Rat Boy but you can put your house on him, being one of the most hated players in football. Rat Boy is a perfect example of all things Man'ure he's arrogant, clueless and biased. That's one thing you can't blame Redknapp on with us, is being biased.

Ps. I suppose anyone's better than that pr*ck Merson. {Ed001's Note - one of the United fans posted on their site the other day very similar sentiments to those I expressed. Apparently he was at a United fans forum and managed to upset the whole lot of them with his terrible attitude. If he can manage to alienate fans of his own team who is going to want to listen to him?}

Gary Neville will join Sky Sports as a football expert & co-commentator from the start of the 11/ 12 season. I guess it's Radio 5 for me then.
And there are actually some people who still deny that rupert murdoch has an anti-liverpool agenda!
Years of andy gray being a completely biased weasel, and out of the entire footballing world sky pick Gary Neville as a replacement. Can anyone tell me the one thing these two have in common? (aside from inbreeding, a personality deficit and an intelligence level roughly that of a bag of hammers).
They both hate us with a passion and will weight commentary against us, making EVERY match only watchable on mute. Oh and i can't wait for the man u game. . .
Sky want me to pay Gary Nevilles wages? No chance! I'm gonna tell them i want an immediate cancellation on the grounds that i refuse to support someone that spends most of their time trying really hard not to swallow their own tongue.

Heard this rumour shortly after Gray got the bullet, If this is true Sky will lose many customers here in Ireland.Any Red's fan I know said they'll tell Sky to shove their sports package up their Nat King Cole's.Not a hope on earth that I'm paying to listen to that thick spouting on about football.

FSG president Sam Kennedy has confirmed that the club will buy players based on talent and not their marketability.
LFC s main sponsor Standard Chartered had hinted they would like to see more Asian players at the club but FSG have moved quickly to assure fans that any deal will be based on talent on not business.
Speaking to the BBC, Kennedy said In 2007, the Red Sox signed pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka out of Japan, and everyone suggested that this was being done for business reasons
But any player that we sign for the Red Sox or for Liverpool will be signed for their impact on the sports field, not business reasons.
Winning on the field comes first, and business issues come second. Business supports the activities on the playing field.

@Blair you are an idiot everything above that you have said about Rooney Gerrard has done and more. Rooney has not hit out at a DJ for no reason and GOT away with it. You say no-one is bigger than LFC Gerrard is bigger than LFC he walks round the club as though he owns it, at least Rooney works hard on the pitch tracking back, winning the ball back, defending, Gerrard is lazy the team does better without him and Ed001 will back me up on this. Drogbas case was completly different he swore at the ref repeatedly and showed no respect towards him at all.

Just read from the caughtoffside website that we will be making a £15m bid for Tottenhams Aaron Lennon.

Come on ed, a front 3 of hulk, suarez and carroll would be the most exciting front line in europe not just the epl. Hulk is one of the most talented players around at the moment, can do all the things suarez can. . . but go through them rather than around them.

{Ed002's Note - So there will be no wingers bought in then? It would be too narrow and too cluttered. You add wingers and Liverpool would be over run in midfield.}
4 3 3 seems to be classed as the most attacking formation these days, with width coming from the fullbacks, . . . . . . . . . . . "
{Ed002's Note - You need to read the subsequent posts before explaining 4-3-3 to me I am afraid. You will then see that the poster was suggesting a 3-2-1-3-1 formation with zero width and a hole inj the middle.}
well i was responding to the comment you gave on my post mate, never really heard of 3 2 1 3 1 myself, and as shown above that was commented on some hours later. i wasnt trying to offend when airing my opinions on my and i stress my preferred formation and the reasons why.

People who wants Nuri Sahin in Liverpool, it's actually impossible to get him. He is an excellent player, he could be the best player in Bundesliga this season. Dortmund are doing what our owners want to do with Liverpool. They are winning the league and will have champions league next season. So, frankly we don't stand a chance. But It'd be great to have him.

(9) (2)
4 3 3 seems to be classed as the most attacking formation these days, with width coming from the fullbacks, dropping back in to 4 5 1 when defending, suarez so far ed, has been most effective when picking up the ball in wide areas, (as shown at united, sunderland etc) and hulk is of a similar mould opperating from the left.( im not saying he will sign by the way)
i never said we shouldnt or won't buy any wingers, because im sure we will. being able to change things if tactics are not working is something we have been unable to do for a long time, and is key to success.
by no means do i think we should try to emulate barcelona, as that would be very difficult, but they don't have traditional type wingers, not even a traditional striker as villa starts on the left. everybody passes and moves, making space and being available, (something we used to pride ourselves on) and well. . i don't need to mention there success in recent years.
its great saying yeah we can buy m'villa, adam benaga , erikson we already have lucas, gerrard, mereiles spearing etc etc but how long will a player sit on the bench and want to stay at the club, when we have 8 central midfielders all fighting it out for 2 places, and how will they gain the form required being given ten minutes here and there. with a 3 man midfield you can acommadate a holding midfielder to protect the back 4, two play makers creating chances, and a 3 man attack.
having carroll is a great option for us, but i think if creating a team around him is something lfc are looking to do then we are in for a hard time, as i don't really see suarez winning crosses and holding up play if carroll is injured. and trying to find a player similar like Llorente will be impossible with out giving the player assurances about first team football. so which 35m forward will sit on the bench?
something that should be taken on board imo.

Is Payet any good Ed, and do you think there is a good chance we will be biding for him in the summer, Thank you. Ross

- - - - - - - - - - - -
I just want to echo the Eds opinion of Payet for what it's worth. I've seen him a few times and he looks very talented, quick, skilful and direct. He can finish and from what I've seen he looks fairly comfortable with either foot.
I think he would be a great signing. Is there any talk of Pjanic Ed? I'd really like to see him join too

John
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
For these two incidents to be comparable Gerrard obviously must have hit the DJ on the football field, as one is delt with in a court of law, the other by the FA! I don't recall any such thing ever happening.
And John calls others idiots? Take a look in the mirror mate, there'll be an idiot looking back at you.

Ed's and fellow Red's.
Whats your verdict on Mcgeady?Would he be a good player to have at LFC.?
He has improved alot sice his move to Russian football and I watched him make some tough tacking Uraguian(spelling) defenders look like fools in the recent friendly with The Rep of Ireland.Any toughts?Good and bad welcome would just like to see what people think?Keep up the great work lad's.
Thanks a mill.

He probably will bulk up a bit over the summer. But, we will be signing a top quality partner to relieve the pressure on him when he plays.

Regarding Sylvian Merveuax , he was very close to signing a pre-contract deal, but now it seems that LFC are not interested in signing a such injury prone player. + Merveuax poor crossing ability is one big factor in which LFC has turned away from him.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I'm pretty sure Comoli & co would have scouted and researched into him well before even thinking about offering him a pre-contract. You don't try & sign someone if you don't know what you're getting. This is complete bull, so your other 'rumours' will be too.

I find it funny when i see carragher in the subs on one of these starting xi's. He hasn't said he is about to retire or go and become crap at football for the rest of his life, and realistically, the starting CB's are going to be carragher and skrtel/ new CB in August. Eds? {Ed001's Note - personally I think Carra will have to accept more of a back up role.}
= = = = = = = = = =
Carragher has been a great player for Liverpool, but I have to agree with the ED, I think it is time we looked for someone else, someone who is comfortable on the ball and can play it out of defence instead of just hoofing it, I am sure carragher will still get some games, just should not be considered for every game. Ross
08 Apr 2011 16:59:51
To the guy posting about you need to "pay" for quality not overly true just look at Borussia Dortmunds signings in the summer. Barely cost anything and they are top of the Bundesliga. I mean we just need to look for talent that would suit are squad and we can have a good season next year. Oh and I'll just give you an example of Dortmunds signings Kawaga cost £300,000 and I wrote that correctly.

Sydney!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Seriously Sydney/ Malcom you really are a biased fr*ck.
Shrek deserves all he gets, it's that simple. He's a thug who has no respect for your pathetic fans (the ones that stick up for him), He has no respect for your manager, He has no respect for your club, He has no respect for his wife and no respect for himself.
Since he brought your manager and club to it's knees his arrogance is there for all to see. Fergie used to be the biggest man at OT but now it's Shrek. You idiots seem to be siding with Shrek when i say "you still applaud him" after what he done to your manager. This is the same manager that has brought you all the trophys, not Shrek.
My brother is a season ticket holder at OT and we watched the match together on Saturday. After Shrek did what he usually does (act the dr*ck) my brother got up and walked out, ASHAMED! Just like he was ASHAMED when some of your "great" fans surrounded Shrek's house when he wanted to leave.
Anybody who condone's what Shrek did, is an idiot. Remember Droghba did it in the CL semi against Barca? He was banned for 6 games then that was reduced. Did any of you feel sorry for Droghba? Somehow i don't think so.
No one is bigger than LFC but it appears that Shrek is bigger than Manchester United.

Sick of fans saying we should pay 10/ 15m on a player still yet to prove himself in the championship, with a very average goal return this year.
At least it will give us a chance to see wot he can do over next couple of years with Ipswich

Ed, out of 10 what do you think the chances of kenny getting the job are? I love kenny however I wonder if it might be better for the club that if the plan is to rebuild this summer why not have the long term manager for the distance future come in to do the rebuilding, rather than kenny who may only be able to do the job for a few years
{Ed002's Note - Sorry, I have no way of doing anything other than guess.
08 Apr 2011 16:34:17
Ed what would the chances of these managers getting the job if it wasn't kenny. Villas boas, deshamps, guardiola, mourinho or klopp? {Ed002's Note - The answer is the same as it was when asked yesterday. At least two have no interest. One has been approached before, the others I think are doubtful.}

Agreed ed I think if we buy a cb sell soto, squirty-bum(skrtel) and use Ayala we will have enough cover we can rotate agger/ carra and our new cb that way agger may be less injury prone and carra will play for more years.it's about maximising our squad that's wat creates league winning clubs. Love carra top player a very committed but we jus can't keep relying on him it's a step to helping us be ready for when he does retire and not be stuck with the likes of soto and skrtel.
really looking forward to the transfer window this is bigger than Santa for me.

Shelvey looks like a good prospect yes but at this stage I can not see him being looked at as our answer to our LB, CB, LW, RW, CDM issues. He alone will not win Liverpool a premiership will he?
Maybe I just don't get your slightly ambiguous statement. .

I for one am glad that Connor Wickham is not coming our way anytime soon, from what I've seen of him, I did not believe he was good enough to offer an improvment to our squad.
That being said we could do with a top quality striker to replace Ngog. Leaving us with Carroll, Suarez, Kuyt and ? up top. Ngog offers little to nothing.
Not a big fan of the idea of Adam coming in either, but a pair of central midfielders are needed, as well as additions on both flanks.
And finally a left back. I think with Wilson, Kelly, Ayala, skyrtel and Agger we are ok centrally in defence.
So lots to do, I wouldn't expect to see all those positions filled in the summer, but definite improvement ahead.
Marveux first on the left.

They both hate us with a passion and will weight commentary against us, making EVERY match only watchable on mute. Oh and i can't wait for the man u game. . .
Sky want me to pay Gary Nevilles wages? No chance! I'm gonna tell them i want an immediate cancellation on the grounds that i refuse to support someone that spends most of their time trying really hard not to swallow their own tongue.

SHELVEY MIGHT SURPRISE PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING FOR BIG SINGINGS
08 Apr 2011 13:59:00
It's interesting to see that the latter stages of the Europa League are dominated by Portuguese clubs, who could provide 3 of the 4 semi finalists.
My questions relating to this being :
1. does the Portuguese clubs' performances reflect the financial importance that the E.L. provides to their income generation ?
2. does this not reflect the 'bridesmaid at the wedding' (I won't say 2nd rate as there are some very good players on show) nature of the E.L. now, as the bigger leagues have not prioritised this competition ?
3. has the E.L. become a 'feeder' for its big brother, the C.L., with players keen to show themselves in a good light to earn a transfer to the bigger clubs ?
4. should Liverpool be arsed with this competition again ?
Eds ?

Agger would be one of the best centre backs in the prem and probably one of the best ball playing in the world if he wasn't so injury prone.
08 Apr 2011 14:28:37
"Hi everyone,
Just got some info that Daniel Agger will be leaving LFC this summer, with Porto's Rolando coming in.
And Damien Commoli is very much keen on Shaktar's Willian the same goes for Kenny.
Ashly Young coming to us is now 50-50.
Charlie Adam will join Liverpool as soon as the season ends, but if Blackpool get religated the price will be reduced very much.
Fabio Coentrao will be our Marquee Signing if he is signed, ( 20 )
Donth think that Liverpool will buy another CF, as Kenny likes playing Kuyt upfornt either with Carrol , Suarez Or as a lone striker.
David Ngog is set to leave or if not Loaned out.
Lfc will sign around three wingers
Most likeliest three are Young, Payet & Willian .
Out of 12 players out on loan don't think anyone will return except Ayala.
Fabio Aurelio is likley to stay for one more season.
*****The Unknown*****"
Why would we sell Agger, who makes a difference on the pitch but can only manage 20 games a season and keep Aurelio who doesn't make a difference and would be lucky to make 20 games?
Rumours under this regime are pure speculation.
08 Apr 2011 13:21:22
Please can everyone stop putting Agger in there starting 11, everyone is going to hate me for this and put unbelievable, but we can't get 3 straight games out of him and that's the same as aurelio and this is why where buying a new left back, so personally i think we need to have a replacement for agger with him being so injury prone
08 Apr 2011 12:59:15
Strange that the refs claim that "there is no way any of the senior refs would have sent Rooney off for swearing". Didn't Mascherano get sent off against Man Yoo for foul language?

08 Apr 2011 13:07:18
It seems to have gone all quiet with Eljero Elia. If we signed him would he be another babel or is he better ?. What do you think of him ED ?. Worth a go on the wings and wouldn't cost stupid money. {Ed002's Note - He is a decent player.}
08 Apr 2011 12:39:30
Ed002's Note - I see no reason not to keep him and bring Ayala back. I would not be surprised if a cdentral defender did come in as we know that the club were looking at Claudemir earlier in the season - although interest in the player waned.}
(2) (0)
THE interest probably waned as Claudemir is a central midfielder and was being looked at along with mvilla as a holding midfielder on centerbacks kenny is a massive fan of scott dann who would also be available at a more resonable price than someone like cahill

"L'Equipe says OM defender Taye Taiwo met AC Milan in Italy this wk, & his agent is due to meet Real Madrid next wk. Benfica also want him.". .L'Equipe are usually spot on. So, Benfica want a left back eh? And Real Madrid also want to chat to him? Seems Coentrao is up for grabs. If he's not going to Madrid then I'm taking it that there's a huge chance he'll be at Liverpool next year.
-IamTheCosmos
{Ed002's Note - It has been known since last summer that Coentrao would be leaving Benfica with Manchester United, Real Madrid and more recently Bayern Munich in the frame. We knew last summer that Taiwo's preferred destination was Benfica and the alternatives were AC Milan and Juventus. None of this should be a surprise to you - I have written often enough. Coentrao could well be interested in Liverpool, but apparently the club have shown no interest in him and that is why Bayern are now favourites for his signature.}
. . . . .

Coentrao and Johnson would be good to see put Kelly at CB Atleast he has pace.

Didn't know anything about Taiwo wanting Benfica so it was news to me.
They would be my preferred pair of full backs too LAVERS. If we managed to get Coentrao then we could play the 3-5-2 system that worked so well for a few games earlier in the season. The below addition of Kaka is probably a bit far fetched, but if we got Coentrao he would provide the width so big money could then be spent on a quality playmaker instead of two wingers.

i hope this is true because the boy looks quality
08 Apr 2011 12:26:33
Hi ed was just wondering if you think that this is a good idea if it could be made to happen, the club should really give king kenny a 2 year contract even though i love the man i think it will be best for all parties so that the king can go back and nature the young boys to come through the way he likes and try to get talks going with pep guardiola when he lives his post at barcelona in 2 years time its well known that he wants to go by then.
i think he is looking for a bigger challenge just to show everyone that he can do the same thing he did with barcelona, with a prem-league team thanks ed plz post post this and reply thanks :)

Fact is these days in football if u want success u hav to have quality which in my mind comes at a price.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The most successful team in rescent history unfortunately have to name a few Van Der Saar, Vidic, Raphael, Fabio, Wes Brown, O'Shea, Hernandez, Giggs, Scholes, Evans, Fletcher, Park etc plus many more that have left their club. All these players have the trophies & the success that you talk about. How much did it cost for these players I've mentioned? About £25 million!
So the next time you post if you want success, that it comes at a price just think. 11 players, either brought cheaply or thru the ranks. Money does not buy you success!

do you know if torres wanted to move or was he forced out,
i no i shudnt move i don.t if i should feel sorry for him.
or his he just a sulking bat.
wat do u think ed
{Ed002's Note - He was trying pretty hard to get out last summer. What happened in January was simply a consequence of that. The club certainly did not force him to leave - just held out for the best possible deal.}
08 Apr 2011 11:50:26
{Ed002's Note - I don't know anything about homesickness but I somehow doubt it would preclude him moving a little further a field, say Manchester. I could see this being a problem if Peru, Uganda or China were options.}
I just can't see the move happening anyway, but i'm getting to the point now is that I don't care who we bring in once there good enough and make us challengers again.

Bob L Swagger {Ed002's Note - There is a release clause of some type but it is unclear how enforceable it is. There is interest in the player from a number of clubs (including Spurs and Manchester City). Obviously he is a very good player. I am not sure how he would fit in with the Liverpool team.}

come on ed, a front 3 of hulk, suarez and carroll would be the most exciting front line in europe not just the epl. Hulk is one of the most talented players around at the moment, can do all the things suarez can. . . but go through them rather than around them.

Come on, we were reported to have offered over 6 million, now that has to be the right price for Adam. Kenny sold Torres for what he believed he was worth (best possible price, as you stated), what does Holloway think Adam is worth?

Views on Aurelio?. . . . . . . . . .
I would agree that he is the best left back we currnelty have and the team is more balanced when he plays but it a far stretch to call him one of the top 3 left back in the PL. Honestly I'm not sure he's even in the top dozen.

08 Apr 2011 09:21:22
A question to all you guys out there and if any EDs want to comment, please do.
Why (from what I've read so far) is everyone happy that LeBron James has been given a share of the club? What benefit do you see this being to LFC? For me he is a basketball player and I cannot imagine that fans of his within the US will start watching Liverpool matches or buying LFC merchandise just because he as a small stake in the club.
The only beneficiary of the deal that I see is LeBron James & FSG. LeBron will now be entitled to an annual profit share from LFC and FSG have signed him up without incurring massive short them costs but by offering a stake of future profits of LFC.
G-Force
{Ed002's Note - You have the wrong end of the stick here. You are absolutely right that Miami Heat fans will not be rushing out to buy Liverpool shirts and Steven Gerrard bobble-head dolls. It is no different from Jamie Carragher owning 1% (or whatever the figure is) of the Denver Nuggets, you would not be ordering your shirt anytime soon. The deal is about James' sport marketing business, LRMR Branding and Marketing, striking a deal with Fenway as a joint venture (complimentary businesses helping each other out). James’ lawyers have made an effort to make it clear that it is not a takeover of LRMR but the companies looking to go forward together. Don’t expect too much of this at all. Additionally, since the commercial agreement was announced, focus has shifted away from James to his mother.}
08 Apr 2011 08:49:54
So pleased that aurelio is back he's top 3 left backs in the prem when fit. IMO if he plays Carroll will get sweet crosses. To attack! So happy about fabio my favourite player hope he stays at LFC forever it's not his fault he is made of egg shells! Please don't sell our team is so balanced when he plays he doesn't hoof it and he's just brilliant.
Keep Don Fabio.

I wasnt trying to say you should never spend big just that big money does not always equate to good players and that cheap money does not always mean they are rubbish.

Just read the article on BBC Sport that Chelsea may be excluded from CL in a few years time. Would be hilarious if they didn't get in, especially City. But on a serious note, it just shows the owners are doing the right things, running the club the right way. By bringing people like LeBron James on board, and planning tours to Asia, our revenues, and spending power, can only increase. Man City have very little commercial appeal, because at the end of the day, they are a small club that are only where they are due to one generous man, and personally, I don't want owners like that.

Liverpool will sign Charlie Adam for just £5 million should Blackpool get relegated. Adam has his heart set on a move to Liverpool despite what the tabloids say. He did nearly join spurs but they were just his 2nd choice, Blackpool scuppered the chance of a January move to Liverpool because of holloways arrogance and greed. Charlie is determined to make his dream move to the 5 times european champs!

08 Apr 2011 01:18:36
With us being linked with every player under the sun, here's my pick of the likelyhood of signing in the summer
Left Back
Leighton Baines - If the rumour that he is a born-and-bred Red is true then it is incredibly likely. He's English, a good player, solid and reliable. However, I would love to see Taye Taiwo join.
Centre Back
Rolando - I really rate this guy and delighted we have an "interest" in him. Soto isn't good enough and I think Kenny would rather blood in Ayala or Wilson next season rather than keep him, but I do hope this is true.
Gary Cahill - With Dan Agger being hugely injury prone it may be time to cash in on him and sign a replacement in Cahill. He's without a doubt one of England's unsung talents being very good in the air, something we lack, brave and good in a tackle.
Central Midfielder
Charlie Adam - He is a very good player and with his contract up next season I can see us picking him up for around £6m, especially if Blackpool drop
Yann M'Vila - He is quality and ticks FSG's boxes, I would love to see him join and think the possibility is likely
Left Wing
Sylvain Marveaux - He's free, fast and tricky which makes him a good option to change a game, similar to a Yossi Benayoun.
Matt Jarvis - Again he's fast and can put a fantastic ball into the box, no doubt would link up with No. 9 well. However, if it were just these 2 to join we'd be signing 2 squad players. I'd love Coentrao to come in, he's too attacking to be a left-back, he can take it past people, put a killer ball in and can score as well as create.
Right Wing
Ashley Young - I'd like to think it isn't true as I hate him. He's fast and can score, but he's ball greedy, doesn't use the wing enough and chooses to shoot rather than score. No doubt Villa would be better off without him. Unfortunately it seems very likely, but I'd rather see Turan or Adam Johnson.
Striker
Connor Wickham - I expect reinforcements still to come in up front, but only the one and Wickham looks likely. However, El Arabi may be likely as might Benzema. Preferably I'd like Hulk, think he's quality.
08 Apr 2011 01:18:46
About wendt from what i know about him he is a similar player to aurelio only younger and without the freekick ability and injury list. he is an attacking full back so that good as it means he can get "very good!" deliveries into the box, he's fast, calm on the ball and has a descent left boot. not the greatest left back but a signing that would improve the team because i believe he's better than insua(who i think could have had a good season if he stayed and improved we just needed to be patient, look how lucas turned out), konchesky and hes got aurelio beat due to age, fitness etc.
08 Apr 2011 01:26:27
Right now i feel really bad for Torres (don't attack me!) but i just can't wish him the best. On his day he is One of the best finisher (better than suarez, but yeah suarez offers something else). Torres just made one of the biggest mistake of his life. Just had to write this with all the s**t from media on torres. And yeah didn't hear that much when it was Rooney. Suddenly he starts to score (give giggs some credit for yesterday lmao) and he is the front page of everything (talk about overhyped english players).

I just don't understand why Pacheco hasnt given a run-in in the team yet. Watching the Norwich game's highlights again, he has amazing passing, movement; just pure class. Want Carroll to score goals?- Get Dani to cross the ball.
08 Apr 2011 00:37:26
True LFC fans idolise players who play for the shirt, give there all and are worthy of the shirt. These players we will support to the death. Perhaps some are tired week after week supporting players clearly not good enough for this club.
************************************
That's a bit rough mate - Take Lucas (who you obviously don't rate from the rest of your post) - he plays for the shirt and gives his all, and in many fans opinion, has been one of our best. But because you don't think he is worthy of the shirt, you won't support him. Tell me this - is it then his fault that Kenny rates him, and gives him a run in the team? If you have a problem with players like Lucas mate, take it up with the manager - it is not fair at all that Lucas is picked in a team, goes out and gives his all for the shirt and fans like you get on his back because you deem him unworthy of the shirt.
I accept your opinion of Lucas mate, but don't see how you can justify giving a player, who at the very least gives his all, a hard time for being selected in the team. I think your true gripe is with Kenny for selecting him.
LIVERPRES
08 Apr 2011 00:33:26
Liverpool are lucky to have a player like Glen Johnson in the squad.
Johnsons ability to play in more than one position will come in handy especially if Liverpool loose players through injury.
Such injuries can include that of a right back, a right winger, a left back and a left winger; all are positions that Johnson can cover.
08 Apr 2011 00:26:24
Liverpool have the template for a successfull team.
The signing of Carroll has given us great options up-front and if Liverpool manage to sign decent wingers along with a creative defensive midfield player then these options will increase even further.
08 Apr 2011 00:06:36
Why do we need big money signings? It does not guarantee quality or success. Examples?
Torres - £50m zero goals and looks a lost cause
Denilson £22m Did nothing for years in spanish league
Joaquin - £25m Done nothing at valencia
Ibrahimovic - £46m Lasted one season and did not do much in that
Kaka - £56m Is he still at madrid?

Jovanovic , Cole free transfer = can't get into team
Fact is these days in football if u want success u hav to have quality which in my mind comes at a price.

With the exception of Reina, Gerrard and Suarez how many of our first 11 would get into the starting 11 of any of the 5 teams above us?
*******************************
Any of our CB's would get into Gunners atm - even Soto!
Johnson or Kelly would get RB start with all of the teams
Spuds and Gunners would start Carroll I reckon.
Point is - some of our squad are top quality too.

Dont like wendt ed, not enough quality from what I have seen myself. Maybe it's jus me being fussy, very few good left backs around. Why is everyone so hung up on cahill we could jus buy a donkey if we wanted someone to "hoof" the ball. Not good enough I'm afraid. I watched Porto game tonite and McGeady was toilet, hope he doesn't come. Wouldnt mind varela , hulk or Rodriguez thou.
Fowler is god {Ed001's Note - I am with you on Wendt, watched him for Copenhagen in the Champions League this season and he seemed extremely average at best. I agree on Cahill too, even with Coyle's change of style for Bolton he still always wellies it up to Davies every time he gets the ball. I have never been a fan of McGeady either, he has no final ball and that is far more important than anything else in my opinion.}
