Liverpool Thread

Re: Liverpool Thread

There has been talk of an American takeover before but nothing came of it, we shall wait and see
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

But it's all to get funding to the building of a new stadium.

I don't see any reason to be alarmed.
Unless an hostile takeover... :mrgreen:
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

Kenny once went a whole season without one in the league so he's in good company. :thumbup:
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

Crouch can't even steal a goal at the moment, Cisse throws his boot at the ball and it fly's over the keepers head from 20yards....

Good win we played very well no matter how shit portsmouth were....

Surely you can't expect much from a tabloid?;)
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

Do you think he'll be scoreless at end of season while leading the team in assists? How much does he have now? :-)
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

I love Crouchie more every time i see him on the pitch. He always puts his soul into the game and he tries his dmandenst. Plus, more importantly, he actually contributes to the offense.

Now that our players are healthy and gelling, i think you can see that the team as a whole is playing better and finishing their chances, something they werent doing for weeks on end in the beginning of the season.

What i love about Crouch is that he never blows his lid or loses his cool despite the ridicule and the pressure on him. He just lowers his head. . so he's 6'4 instead of 6'7, and plows ahead. :mrgreen:

They could at least come up wth something realistically entertaining, like Titi Henry to us for A Lot Of Money :P
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

A tough game tonight but I think we can beat Betis making the Chelski game irrelevant.

I hope this quote doesnt come back to bite me on the ass...
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

How classic would it be if Chelski lost to Anderlecht and then we had the chance to KO them from reaching the Round of 16.

let a brotha dream!
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

European champions Liverpool are pondering a January move for unsettled Valencia striker Marco Di Vaio.

The Italian is desperate for a Spanish exit and Liverpool are the latest club linked with his signature.

Although both Milan sides have been strongly paired with the 29-year-old, boss Rafa Benitez is keen on bringing him to Anfield.

With Djibril Cisse reportedly almost certainly set for a return to France after Christmas, Benitez is keen for a replacement.

Di Vaio will be made available by his La Liga club after failing to break into the first team so far this season.

However, the player’s recent comments have suggested that he is pining for a return to his homeland and is keen on moving to Inter.

"Inter would be a superb option and a positive break in my career," he told television channel 7 Gold.

Good finisher.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

I wouldn't mind Di Vaio, we do need another striker come January and to be honest selling Cisse(who I reckon will break into double figures this season if he stays) is not the answer.

I also hear Benitez is also looking at Riki which doesn't fill me with excitement....
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

Nah, Di Vaio is not the answer - certainly not at 29! I think Cisse will stay. What ever happened to the rumours of Huyt?
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

Kuyt ya mean? Been banging it in as usual this season, attracted our Russian friends he has.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

Kuyt is more versatile than Crouch and Nando (at this stage of his career), but he is still essentially a target striker in a 4-3-3 or a 4-5-1 (aggressive). I saw Kuyt play a few games last year and he was SOLID, but i am wondering whether its worth losing a pacy striker like Cisse in order to sign another target striker.

As frustrating as Cisse can be. . and Lord knows i scream at him when he plays. . we have to acknowledge he is our scoring leader despite playing on the wing most of the time, and despite not starting several games.

Again, i think if Rafa played him up top with Crouch for an extended run, he could hit his groove and bang em in even more.

I think recent success is a function of Rafa using less rotation and allowing the team to solidify itself.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

Oh - Kewell really seemed to turn the game when he came on.

(I caught the game on a Serbian tv streaming link!:mrgreen: )
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

Kuyt as the leading frontman would theoretically fit very well with what Rafa seems to have in mind. In view of his pace, aggression and strength in holding the ball up and even putting them away when presented with the chance. Cisse was horrendous yesterday anyroad. Crouch puts in the toil and is more than decent on the deck but doesnt measure up scoring wise and gets knocked about too easily IMO.

As of Citeh match

-------didi---momo--------
---------kewell------------
gerrard---crouch---riise

Worked a treat. Especially when we land that Right Winger and Xabi is back orchestrating the game from deep. We lack a certain grace and guile when the X man is missing.

Re: Liverpool Thread

Nicked this from another forum :mrgreen:

The year is 2017 and little bluenose Duncan is talking to his bluenose Dad.
SON "Dad, my mates in school told me that Liverpool won the European Cup for the 5th time in 2005 ? are they right dad?

DAD "Yes son, it's true, but they were dead lucky son, all the way through the tournament"

SON "Why dad?"

DAD "Well in the group stages ?.."

SON "What dad, did they have a team from Azerbaijan, Israel, and Ireland in their group?"

DAD "Well no, they had Monaco, Deportivo la Coruna, and Olympiakos"

SON "Well they still sound like 3 easy teams to me dad"

DAD "Actually Monaco reached the final the year before, Olympiakos had won their league 7 times out of the previous 8 seasons, and Deportivo finished above the galacticos of Real Madrid in their league".

SON "Jeez dad, that sounds like quite a difficult group then".

DAD "yeh I suppose your right son, but they were still lucky ? it took a mishit shot by Gerrard against Olympiakos to get through".

SON "oh is that the goal were your hero Andy Gray goes berserk shouting "you beauty, you beauty, what a hit son, what a hit!!!!"

DAD "yes son it is"

SON "oh ok. Well what happened in the last 16 dad, who did they draw?"

DAD "Bayer Leverkusen"

SON "Bayer who?"

DAD "Exactly son, but they had beaten Real Madrid 3-0 at home, and won their group that included Dinamo Kiev and Roma too."

SON "bloody hell dad, they sound good".

DAD "yes, I suppose you're right son"

SON "so did they win on away goals or something"

DAD "errrrr, no, they won both legs 3-1 each"

SON "oh ? well who next then dad"

DAD "Juventus"

SON "How the f#ck did they get past them Dad?"

DAD "Well they did ? they won 2-1 at home, and cruised to a 0-0 away draw without Juve having hardly any chances".

SON "were Juve sh#t at that time ? had all their decent players gone or something?"

DAD "well actually they still had players like Del Piero, Nedved, Ibrahimovic, Thuram, and Buffon in the side. And they won Serie A a few weeks later."

SON "wow, they beat the Italian champions elect ? which **** easy team did they get in the semi then?"

DAD "Chelsea"

SON "Chelsea ? for f#cks sake ? what a **** easy draw ? they've won nothing, Everton have won more than them".

DAD "well that season they won the Premiership and League Cup but the Red ***** didn't let them score in 180 minutes of football"

SON "Jesus Christ ? so Liverpool beat the English Champions elect too"

DAD "yes son, they bloody well did".

SON "so after all that I suppose all the good teams had been knocked out"

DAD "not quite son, AC Milan awaited them in the final"

SON "no way ? aren't they the 2nd most successful team in the competition's history".

DAD "yes son they are"

SON "so were Liverpool lucky because Milan had all their good players out with injuries"

DAD "no ? they had Shevchenko, Crespo, Maldini, Nesta, Cafu, Kaka, Stam, Dida, Gattuso, Pirlo, and Seedorf".

SON "your 'avin a laff"

DAD "it gets worse son, Milan were cruising 3-0 up at half-time".

SON "what happened, did they have 3 men sent off in the second half ? how did Liverpool get back into the game?"

DAD "no, Milan had no men sent off, the Red ***** scored 3 goals in 6 minutes"

SON "against the best defence in Europe"

DAD "yes!!!, against the best defence in Europe"

SON "so what happened next - extra time?"

DAD "yes son, and Dudek made the luckiest save ever to stop a Shevchenko shot from a yard"

SON "why was it lucky dad ? did it hit him on the arse, nose, shoulder or something"

DAD "no son, his hand"

SON "well aren't goalies meant to save shots with their hands"

DAD "yeah but that's besides the point"

SON "then what"

DAD "penalties!"

SON "English teams are crap at penalties"

DAD "not this f#ckin time they weren't ? they only missed one. And that's how Liverpool became the luckiest team to win the European Cup".

SON "but I bet when they brought the cup home there was hardly anyone to watch as all Liverpool fans live anywhere but Liverpool you say. How many was there, 5,000 or so?"

DAD "1 million people lined the streets".

SON "so let's get this straight dad ? Liverpool had 3 good teams in their group, they then knocked out a team who had beaten Real Madrid 3-0, they then knocked out the future Serie A champions, then knocked out the future Premiership champions, before coming back from 3-0 down to beat the 2nd most successful club in Europe. And then the whole population of Liverpool came out to welcome them home!!!!

DAD "that about sums it up son"

SON "dad?"

DAD "yes son"

SON "can I have a Liverpool shirt for my birthday next week, and can you stop calling me Duncan ? I'm Stevie from now on"
