Manhattan has a question.

Why don't LFC have video advertising boards around the pitch?

The first 45min was the best Football i have seen us play since we beat Nottingham Forest 5-0 in the 1987/88 season. dont get me wrong we have had great games since then but the First 45 min there was a full knowledge o each players position, out passing was fantastic, shame we did not get a clean sheet.

Player ratings

Reina 7 looked steadier and made an excellent save

Finnan 7 played well until Pennant came on then seemed stifled

Carra 7 Steady but seemed rattled towards the end.

Hyypia 8 Good defensive display and great header for Kuyt goal.

Riise 8 Always available and worked hard

Garcia 9 M.O.M. great performance better finishing and he could have had a hatrick, started to irritate towards the end.

Sissoko 7 Strength and power personified

Alonso 7 Kept us ticking but his long passing is still not quite right

Gerrard 8 Seemed to play everywhere and won his battle with Barry

Kuyt 9 Just pipped for M.O.M. by Garcia but another impressive performer

Crouch 8 Worked hard scored and linked play better than of late.

Pennant 5 One great cross and one woeful cross

Zenden 6 Battled hard when he came on

Fowler 5 not on long but had time to miss a good chance.

I think that everyone a moment is failing to see bigger picture with rotation policy, ok yes we have lost some valuable points this season, but over 2-3 seasons for us to have a larger squad thats capable of interchanging when necesary. I still feel that we are likely to have bloops this season in much the same way that man united were having blips last season a lot due to new players being slowly brought into squad and new tactics and formations. I think that some of our key players have underperformed this year too, and nothing can account for that, it just happens. Chelsea have had a pretty poor start to the season in honesty, but have still won when it counts, because they have a quality squad in depth, and have managed to have one or two players that have grabbed game by scruff of neck by bit of luck (frank cant shoot straight lampard) or individual brilliance (drogba) we have so far lacked both the luck and individual brilliance from key players who have been off form. This again tho reiterates the need for a good squad so when players are off form, we can bring ppl in to try change things. Over a season chelsea are less likely to drop points because of their depth, but man united are probably due dip in form as are arsenal who seem bit like us at moment with a season or two of transition.

Im not saying rafa hasnt made mistakes, or that the rotation hasnt affected results, but i think long term the benefits may outweigh the short term negatives. I also think that some of the criticism of players that are recently integrated into the squad is a little strong, ok they havent all hit the ground running, but how many players do??? I think we need to judge them over course of the season and the next too before getting on their backs. Pennant has become the new hatred figure amongst some fans, alltho he has played very little time so far, and has had both mix of good moments and bad, but is still young and learning, as well as adjusting to new team, life, tactics etc. The same applies to kuyt, gonzalez, aurelio. I think another thing people seem to forget is that he is doing things on a relative shoestring budget.Ronaldo at united=13 million, gonzalez=4 mil, rooney=28 mil, kuyt=10, aurelio=free, zenden was free, pennant=7 mil, bellamy=6.7 mil, so if a few are little rough around edges and need work on them, i think we should expect it, theres normally a reason why players cost twice as much, because they are generally more accomplished in their development stage.Ok zenden should probably shown the door lol, but he was free and was brought in to cover when necessary, hes not good enough, we all can see that, but point is Rafa needed a player and didnt have money to spend on one and saw one that could do a job if absolutely necessary.

i guess ultimately im askin that we try see bigger picture and that may take time to achieve, we were last season a team in progress and are so this season. Rafa spent close to 30 mil this summer, man u spent that on one player, as did chelsea, lets face it we are always going to be playing catch up, and IF rafa pulls it off it'll be a bloomin miracle, but its one i think given time and patience he can achieve, we just really need to understand the huge task that is ahead of us.

Excellent win, saw the highlights last night, all the goals we scored were really good goals.

Loved the 3rd goal, great to see a team goal like that with lovely passing and movement off the ball. Reminded me of the Liverpool of old.

We now need to get some wins away from home, a long unbeaten run is needed to get us back challenging the likes of man u, chelsea and arsenal.

Predicted 3-1 win at 10-1 so was doubly pleased with the result!

Just finished watching the replay of the match just now......

Well pleased with the way we played in the 1st half...... That's more like the liverpool of old that I remember...

We took our foot off the pedal later on in the match though..... and it would have been nice to get a clean sheet but an EXCELLENT result nonetheless.....

C'mon you reds!!! let's keep the momentum going for the next match....

Give Bordeaux hell at home!!!

I had thought the same thing not so long ago. Even Chesterfield have video advert boards as i noticed when the West Ham game was on. Are we too poor to have them?

by **Ciggy** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 7:57 pm

Missed the game yesterday through travelling back from me hols anyone know where I can DL it please?

secondly what the fuck was that song them manc kunts where singin to Gerrard last week at OT?

I was feckin fumin watching it in the bar with loads of mancs all givin it loads I was sittin by the speakers and them kunts done nothing but sing sick feckin songs about us, the same on wednesday in the CC they wernt showing Liverpool only that shower and all they sang where anti Liverpool songs plus that steve Gerrard something about his MRS?
sorry to ask in this topic like.
But there is an absolute uproar if 1 or 2 of our fans do anything but when youve got 60 odd thousand :censored:

singin sick songs at Old Twatford and no one says feck all, then its double standards.

What I did notice how ever was once they where singin there bile, Rooney didnt want to know.
Once a Blue an all that but always a scouser no matter what.
Ive always hated the bitters more than them but after last sunday I have drastically changed my mind.
Shower of jealous b@stards just cause weve won more than them the last 3 years the hatred is creeping back in, and that whiskey nosed kunt is to blame for the lot of it.

FUMIN :angry:
