Liverpool Thread

Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

Juventus agreed terms with Pirlo and he is going to be a bianconeri next season.
It ll be interesting to see what Milan will do now. I dont know if they can buy Ganso because they have already signed Taiwo. So my guess is that they are going for Montolivo (who has had an average season) and for Aquilani.

Because Ganso is injured they may well reconsider their options.

Another possible for that role is Lamela. Allegri likes him. Bad career move for the kid at this stage.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

Lamela it is an outstanding player. I rate him very highly, I think he is going to be the next thing. Has a lot of strenghts, can play wide and central, has pace, knows how to make a pass. Would be a hell of a wing or advanced playmaker.
But, we are not listening offers lower than 12 M euros, that ´s how high Lamela is rated over here.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

I know its old news now but I feel Caroll is just an expensive distraction at the minute, watching you vs Fulham is a perfect example, you look much more fluid and quick in attack rather than having Carroll spearhead the attack.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

leter that pepe reina send to king kenny

Liverpool goalkeeper, Pepe Reina sent a letter today to his coach, Kenny Dalglish.

Date: May 11, 2011
To:
Mr. Kenneth Dalglish
Anfiel Road, Liverpool, L4 0TH

I changed sir:
Hope this letter finds better health. I regret that today I was not coaching when I was in good mood as you have mentioned in the letter that I sent you.
Sir, since you and MR. Steve Clark came on board I disastrous appearance on the field. When I was young, I knew that football is a game played against the 11-11-it. I'm surprised as you are worshiped by fans, players, etc..

Maybe you have not noticed but really I would not play football. In recent months the ball rarely comes to me. Since you have here arrdhur score goals total was 14 (against 27-the first pick you)
This means that the defenders and the goalkeeper has been very good, but I have a feeling that this work is performed krjet counsel who you have trained.

Before your regime every defender and midfielder saw how to send the ball to me and then I send it to attackers. While in these days as the defenders do not follow me. New boys are very confident that they hold the ball, go ahead driblojnë and the midfielders. Even the other clubs have players who do not watch much as Tottenham and Arsenal goalkeeper.
During the end of the first half against Fulhamit wife called me on the phone and was disappointed because I did not play at all. She told me that I've lied he would play with my club at this meeting. I understand that after the ball very hard I could achieve.

Even my agent and sponsors were concerned. They told me that I have not come up much on TV and it is disappointing for fans. Even when I received the first goal I came very little on TV immediately after the ball away from me, so I struck the ball hard just to get a yellow card and to stay as much on TV.
Even as children, and Robbo Flanangan get more TV time than me. Maxi was always the reserve bank and now is every time on TV and in magazines. His wife was pleased that watching while I ordered pizza. I was very gjeloz on ..

There were several times when I was brohorita good protection against Birmingham. Defenders do not believe so, attackers were closer to my area. There were many cases of note in my goal and I came out more on TV. My wife never doubted on me. And now I'm different and I understand it.
Viewing these circumstances I will make a formal request to transfer. I want to be more part of the club. Maxi Dirk and play more. Jay and Lucas are more stable, while under your direction Raul has a super-race. Also, Joe Cole has scored goals.

Please transferom me in midfield because I can play well there and can get rid of the issues mentioned above.

True

Jose Manuel Reina Pepe

Are you a River fan ? I rate Erik very highly too and like all great players he has tremendous balance. You saw that in the last game when he stood up to some very tough challenges.

I think it is superb that we now have him, Pastore as replacements for Roman, Aimar and d'Alessandro who Batista seems to have left in the cold again.

Erik has even managed to make sure Burrito is not missed. I hope he stays with River for the Libertadores along with others like Affranchino.

To build sucess the club must hold onto it's kids and not give the players rights to vultures like IMG , Joorabchian, Simonian etc etc.

They've bled clubs in Argentina dry.

Yes, im a big fan. I always go to the stadium when we play in the Monumental. And now in 2 hours I got to see if I can get a ticket against Boca :P.
Totally agree about the youngsters. We should keep Lamela, Funes Mori, Lanzini (i rate him massively, i think he is going to be an amazing player), Pereyra, Cirigliano, Affranchino (though I dont rate him very much, I think he is average).
The only problem is River is it manager. We have an ultra deffensive manager, who plays with 5 defenders and 2 defensive midfielders every match.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

Why has the original joke been translated from English, into another language and then badly translated back to English? :CONFUSE:

coz i found it on "Kosova Reds" (groupe of reds on Kosovo and was writen on Albanian so i just translate with google translate)
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

I know its old news now but I feel Caroll is just an expensive distraction at the minute, watching you vs Fulham is a perfect example, you look much more fluid and quick in attack rather than having Carroll spearhead the attack.

I completely agree. Liverpool with Caroll are like Spurs with Crouch: one-dimensional. But i think Liverpool have a better manager than Spurs.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

To have striker like Carroll is good for the squad..he is the oposite type of player we have in Suarez...

there is always great to have options... i think Carroll will be great for us..he´s young and i think with good wingers, we will see his full potential..
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

We did alright with the likes of John Toshack. Just because you have a tall player, doesn't mean you MUST whack balls up. Do Milan smack the ball up to Ibra? Did Barca?

As Pipa says, he'll shine with wingers. For years now (as acknowledged above), we've lacked any threat from crosses. Mostly because we haven't had good enough wingers to put the ball in but also because we wanted someone with the size and strength to challenge, and then the heading ability to finish. Carroll will offer that.

And he's not exactly rubbish on the ground either. Teams will be that scared of Suarez that they'll take their eye off Carroll. And we've seen that he's got a decent strike on him if given a chance.

Our celebrity following continues to grow. In the last two weeks we've added LeBron James, John Lithgoe and Snoop Dogg to our fans :D

You can't compare Caroll with Ibrahimovic Dags, i don't like Ibrahimovic, but he is a very skilled and technical player...he is not your average big striker. I have the impression that Caroll is, but i have to admit that i don't know him that good. On the occasions i did see him (on MOTD) i was not impressed at all...but i might well be wrong.

I have the impression that Liverpool deserve a better striker...although i like the fact that the club goes for an English striker.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

like people have said with Caroll

variation is key, some teams we have always struggled to pass through when they sit back with 10 men behind the ball.

Caroll may give us another option to change our play especially with wingers and force a goal through scrappy play

we did panic buy him and i am not a fan yet. we could of waited until January to spend 35 million.

Cirigliano when he gets the chance does well in his deeper role and Pereyra has some unbelievable ability.

But yes Lanzini is another diamond in the rough. But they must be careful with him.

I also rate Pezzella highly as a centreback of class along with other kids like Pugh, Andrada (classy finisher) and even Diego Simeone's son is doing very nicely.

FM9 needs work on his game and Affranchino he is a decent player but I suppose would not be that much missed if Udinese do buy him.

Hope you got the tickets to the superclasico.;) It's not really in the River tradition to play like the current way Lopez does.

Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

Announcement just before the Tot game, well it might be the best day of the season if they win and the worst day of the season if they lose it because Europa league on the line.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

If we lose, it's far from the worst day of the season. We've already done better than I expected given the start we had and nobody would've expected us to get into Europe in January.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

Carroll has played a few games and hasn't exactly been fit so it's still too early to judge him. Who is to say the team still can't be fluid even when he's playing? Seemed pretty fluent v Man City the other week and he notched twice.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

Re Carrol,

I think it depends on the team around him. Liverpool played some great football in the first half against City which he was a big part of. Not because he was technically dribbling past players, but because they couldn't let him go alone and that gave more space to the other 3. And then he still smacked two goals in aswell.

There have been both bad and good games with him involved, still think it's too early to judge. He has been coming back, and coming back again from injury and the team hasn't always performed well either, sometimes resorting to the longball. I do think he will be a great option to have and will be a dangerous striker for Liverpool.

If anything it's the pricetag that has a huge impact on reviewing his qualities. But then, Torres may be a better striker, however he's done far less (and imo has hindered Chelsea's challenge) and cost 50mil. Or another way to look at it is Suarez and Carrol for Torres. Or Dzeko for 25/30mil? for City. He's done sod-all and has been fortunate that the media has been too busy with Torres and less so with Carrol.

You mean untill summer, right?

Maybe i admit it was panic.. But mainly panic thing was Torres wanting out 2 days before end of transfer market. At that point there was no time left for alternatives + every team, including Newcastle knew, that we have 50 milions avileable without any time.. The fact we managed to snap 21 year old England international for 35 milions is not that bad, considering we got realy good money for Torres, who wanted out..

LFC came out of this as big winner.. since FSG wanted to have Torres and Suarez, but with Torres out, they saved a lot of money for summer..The thing is, they didn´t expected Torres to hand in tranfer request, not even Kenny and maybe some players knew he wanted out..but nobody could imagine that in January.. That´s why a positive from this is, that we bought Suarez for 25 milions before we knew we sell Torres.. Acutally Suarez was bought to partner Torres up front and he stated himself he looks forward to that...

Then Torres made up his mind very late.. We got all money for Suarez buy back from Chelsea for Torres, + we spended 35 milions for replacement in Carroll.. It might be to much, but now if you look back, it´s virutall money... FSG still have the rest of money they got from Chelsea for Torres, since they bought Suarez before Torres was sold..

AND with FSG i have confidence we will use it for summer transfers as well..

King Kenny is an intelligent man, as he was a player. He is one of few managers who I think have adapted their talents from the pitch to their management style well.

The Carroll signing was another smart move. We now have a total different kind of attack when we need it.

It's going to be a great season

Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

Congrats, Definitely deserves the contract.

Still not sure about Carroll but I've been pretty wrong about Dalglish and Suarez and both have proved to be excellent so I'll see how he does next year.

YouTube - Luis Suarez vs fulham
Really was a top performance.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread(I Just Can't Get Enough!!)

I finished my Dalglish book earlier, great timing! If I wasn't already excited about our future, it's got me extremely excited after reading his autobiography.

I was too young to really appreciate Kenny's teams and the book really shows how he got his teams to play, how they all stuck together in the dressing room and the type of player he looks for. I already had faith in Kenny, I don't think I could have any more faith in him than I do now after reading that. He's proved he's got what it takes to handle a club like Liverpool and it's great to have him back full-time.

I agree with u , I hate Ibra so much but to be real Carroll dont have technique that Ibra have

35 m are to much money but i hope on him hes young and hungry to be sucsesfull so lets keep hoping on Carroll

Tbf you're completely wrong about Carroll. He's nothing like Crouch at all, he's strong as an ox and good on the ball and unlike most tall players he has a great shot on him (see his goal against City for example, or his one for Newcastle against Liverpool this season). In fact if you watch the City game you'll see that we didn't play the long ball game at all, we outplayed them all over the pitch and that was with Carroll spearheading the attack.


Great news today that The King's reign shall continue. Lets just do as he says though and focus on the next game.
