Hey Eds

Matt Phillips of Blackpool looks a real player,just wondering what's his market value?

Thanks

Marc {Ed002's Note - I would guess perhaps £4M or so.}


4M? Thats it? Looks twice the player adam is. Blackpool wud be stupid to do business at anything less than 8M.
Indian Buzzer {Ed002's Note - It was a guess as I said. He is a Championship player.}

Well Macca has just posted on the rumour's page that Stevie wont be playing on saturday! him and Danny missing a bit of a body blow i think!


Obviously Gerrard was gonna miss the Arsenal game, He went off with a tight hamstring


I wouldn't worry, we've shown that we are capable of playing without gerrard, its a pity agger is injured though as the defensive partnership between him and skrtel has been great. Think we will
Give arsenal a game, bring it on

Why do people refer to Fowler as GOD? Personally I would find it offensive to be compared to something that doesn't exist.

If he is to be compared to anything expedential to the human race, why not compare him to something like Betelgeuse or Sirius. Much more powerful and actually real. No intention to offend but it's just a suggestion =D


How do you know God does'nt exist ? {Ed003's Note - He does,he was at Squires Gate today!! }


Yeah but Betelgeuse doesn't have the same kind of ring to it -McMenemy


Well God wouldn't be playing for
the Red Devils would he?


If you didn't mean to offend, you should have kept your mouth shut.

LIVERPRES


Ed that anti-religious cr*p should not be allowed to be posted on this site.

maka {Ed001's Note - seriously? Give it a rest. Nothing anti about it. No more than anyone calling Fowler God, which is technically blasphemous to a christian. Yet you are whining about someone making a joke about it! Sad.}


I saw a picture of Stevie with God earlier this week, maybe looking for some divine inspiration didnt know he was believer.

Robbie Fowler is about to sign a deal with Blackpool til the end of the season after training with them recently, I think we should of tried to get him back here with us seems as Suarez, Carroll, Adam, Downing etc cant buy a goal, Could be a dream come back?


"dream comeback?"

He's done nothing for ten years!

dmedly


Saw him play for Perth Glory a couple of years ago and he still has the ability but no pace to match. Wouldn't cut it in the PL (unfortunately).

cozinoz


Robbie was probably the best finisher I have ever seen. Unfortunately, he was never the same player after that injury against Everton, and was only about 27 then. The sharpness that made him special was gone.

He scored some goals in his second spell with us but it was obvious to anyone that he was at the very tail end of his career at Premiership level. To get him back again would be pointless, in my opinion. People mention Scholes still playing and he is older than Robbie, but Scholes never had an injury as serious as Robbie's.

I wish him the best of luck at Blackpool and hope he can still show some flashes for them.

I'd definitely have him back as a striking coach, helping our forwards with their movement and positioning, as that is where we are lacking at times.

@ Much Love, I bought a new underwear on ebay and i got a free ticket to any Manchester United game. It says "NOTE: only for last 10mins".

I think its because whenever Man Utd is loosing a game half of the stadium gets emptied and i can literally go and sit anywhere. But I am thinking to hand it to Michael Owen coz he is not even on the bench lol.

AJ


You've never told a joke before have you AJ......

TK-Red


AJ, i'm a Liverpool fan but even i think that was a s**t joke.

KT!


This...makes no sense...


I thought of replying to his post, but it was way down to get his attention.

AJ


Did i mention anywhere its a joke. I just told something i experienced. But Owen himself is a joke anyway. Any way it was meant to our beloved "Sweet Love" who had a big laugh earlier with the most ridiculous banter i have seen. Use search box and Type much love.

AJ


AJ, the point of Much Love's joke was calling Liverpool a "Mickey Mouse outfit", using the dual meaning of "outfit" to mean both "costume" and "organization", and playing on the association of Mickey Mouse with the Carling Cup. It is a very old joke told by clubs who are out of both domestic cups by the end of February. Your joke is just saying that a ticket to a United match is the same as a pair of underwear, which isn't even a joke

Just wanted people's opinions on who you think should replace Agger against Arsenal? We have Carragher, Kelly or Coates. Carra is the obvious choice and is a legend but could he deal with RVP and th pace of the rest of Arsenal? Coates has similair problems and would be a big risk and Kelly is slightly inexperienced. I think Kenny will play Carra but I'd go for Kelly myself, just as he's quick, strong and has never had a bad game for us. Knowing Carra he won't let us down though. Must win game for us so let's hope we smash them and get a winning streak going!
JFT96
Smithy


It'll be Carra 100%

The Terminator will destroy RVP.


I would love any of the others apart from Carra. but Carra it will be.

LIVERPRES


How about trying as dm hes strong fast with a good engine an can slot between carra and skrtel if we get any pressure on us he reminds me of stevie in presence when he came through and he started off as a rb first few full games for lfc ...omen?

SORRY GUYS

BUT no way will liverpool win tomorrow

so many draws this season at home

the performances at home are never good..bar a few

lots of injuries and tiredness this week

and i feel arsenal are a little bit fresher with their squad this week

and that will be the telling factor.........

just being realistic guys


I wish you would have signed your name so i can reply to you on saturday, because i strongly disagree with you, you poor excuse of a fan.

G BOX


Talk about not knowing "what day of the week it is" you Nobhead!!!

Lyndon


Who r they playing 2morrow oh font of all knowledge?


Be more realistic and get the day we play correct, SATURDAY not friday.


I agree! We've more chance of winning on Saturday.

Gerrard should get out of the England setup
and concentrate on real football. His body
cannot take that much football after such a
long and serious injury. Stevie the England
stuff is over mate, they'll never win anything
anyway and Stuart Pierce is a miserable sod
who never smiles. Just concentrate on Liverpool.

team v arsenal
4-2-1-3
reina
johnon-skrtel-kelly-enrique
spearing-------adam
henderson
kuyt----suarez----bellamy
bellamy,suarez and kuyt's link up play is
very good. i have put henderson in a free midfield lingering role thats where he does his most damage by popping up into the empty spaces


 

 

01 Mar 2012 18:15:04
i don't know why KK does not use G Johnson as RW.Only God knows why?The strike against the crossbar vs Cardiff speaks volume of his eye for goals and his potential. With some good performances this season Kelly deserves to be in the team. Against Arsenal , i would prefer Shelvey to come as a sub in the second half (At least i know he will try something unlike others ) and also drop Henderson after his poor performance these days so that other sub (maxi, shelvey, spearing ect does not lose faith..in football...Sometimes they comes in the team , plays well. scores and then gets drop the other match, while others always has the edge) I dont say KK should always drop Henderson but only for 2-3 matches as sub.

My team for Arsenal

************Reina
Kelly **Skertel ** Carragher **Enrique

***********Spearing
G.Johnson ******Adam*******Downing

***********Suarez
****************Caroll

Subs:
Doni, Coates, Maxi, Shelvey, Kuyt, Bellamy


Budashow


Regards GJ playing RW ... use the search function.


Because it is in johnsons contract to play right back only...although he has agreed to play left back so go d knows whats going on


Johnson could be injured though...?

01 Mar 2012 18:07:24
just want to know who you rate more: hoillet or m. phillips?


I'd pick Iker Munian over both of them...Even if he did cost a fortune he has the skills of Ronaldo and at 19 his value would double

MJ


Matt Phillips is, i think better than Hoilett. As for iker muniain. he is worth a bit too much. there are better players available for cheaper price than him. YNWA


There is a reason why they are cheaper tho


Muniain is a standout player. But if we were to go for a player frm bilbao, it wud be martinez for me, only cm that can get into barca's side.

Hi, Arsenal fan here wanting to firstly congratulate your teams carling cup success. As most of you know on Saturday Liverpool will be taking on arsenal at anfield so I wanted to see ur views on the match itself. My personal opinion will be a draw if we defend well. Saw Jaime redknapps view on the sky website and as I said after we beat chelsea the guy is clueless. He firstly goes Cardiff deserved the win and thought liverpool were poor but tbh cardiff defended very well. A team that had more than 30 shots on goal can't have played awful. Then when we beat chelsea first thing he goes was that Arsenal rode their luck & that he doesn't know how Mertesacker got any caps for Germany. I also seen the media coverage both teams get and it is very unfair but what is certain is that these 2 clubs along with Manchester United are the best in English football.

P.S. Are Gerrard, Agger and Bellamy not starting

Islington Gooner


A good unbiased post as i've probably ever seen from an opposition fan.
on the jamie redknapp note, didn't he slaughter suarez for not stepping up to take a penalty after all his controversies? i ask this as it was mentioned to me but i was at wembley watching the game live and never heard the commentary. what i do know is that for the last 15minutes suarez was constantly stretching his groin and hamstring and was obviously struggling, an observation jamie should of picked up on in the tv box. and for a 2nd point, he's missed 2 in a row anyway, i'm certain he wouldn't have been top of kenny's list!

s.p


I agree with a lot of your points mate but I'm afraid you can't compare arsenal with Liverpool and united. Although it pains me to admit it us and united are far and away the biggest clubs in England


I completely disagree with the above poster saying Lfc and Man U are 'far and away' the biggest... Very disrespectful to Arsenal, who in my opinion are a massive club.  They have a huge stadium, strong fan base and have competed on all fronts for years and years.  

To the original poster, Gerrard is up in the air ATM, but everyone bar Agger should be available.  Should be a cracker as both teams (Lfc more than Arsenal) require the 3 points to maintain Champions League hopes.

Lee YNWA


Not sure how anyone can disagree with the above post, it's not an opinion, it's a fact

Chris I'm Tamworth


Jamie is clueless. I watched him on Sky 1 last week on that quiz show he is captain of one of the teams (his guest panelist was Gary Neville). They were asked to name 3 Premiership teams beginning with the letter S and they both couldnt get the correct answer. Skys top pundits my backside.


Ahoy - and welcome aboard the anti Redknapp bus it's a great place to be.

Dear Arsenal friend you are extended a lifetime membership, as your lot have escaped untouched by "The Clan".

JR Superstar - Spurs
Arry - West Ham & Spurs
Fat Frank Senior - West Ham
Fat Frank Junior - West Ham & Chelsea.

A lucky escape for the Gunners.

Maybe JR Superstar needs reminding of his own Wembley glory in an England shirt - when he jumped for a header and was out for 6 months with a knee injury.

BOILED ONIONS


I think the game will be close, we have one of the best defences out there (But we're missing Agger) and you have one of the best attacks. I'm gonna guess at 1-1 as we will have so many chances but not put them away, whilst you just need the one to score. (Not saying you'll only get one chance, but your team is far more lethal and has a higher chance conversion rate than us).

Been reading for a long time and laffed at a few rumours. I just carnt see who we would sign pple spouting about unproven youngsters they see on football manger is pipe. Who in reality would we be looking at preferably wih a bit of pace because the 80s Liverpool team is still quicker now than our team at the min


"I just carnt see who we would sign pple spouting about unproven youngsters they see on football manger is pipe."

Well, Well, Yes this is not Fantasy football manager, but if someone asked about whether Liverpool have any interest in some exciting young player is pipe..then lol...

Liverpool won't be signing all those mentioned but Liverpool need to unearth hidden jems instead of wasting money on medicore average, overrated, over hyped young British talents.

Good grief! If any fan of any club is coming on here to claim Reina is a racist then they're a complete nipple. Im not sure how anyone could construe that advert as racist. The people who complained in the first place just need to get out of the house more.

TK-Red


First time im agreeing with u, TK-Red.
Indian Buzzer


I really think the press are clutching at straws with this one ...my lord ...what next


What makes me laugh is they claim the advert is portraying black people to be "backwards, stupid homosexuals" completely ignoring the fact that the advert includes a black actor playing a seemingly intelligent translator. Perhaps they werent happy that his character was wearing glasses and that black people are also being generalized as geeks? Its ridiculous. The complaint holds no substance, it is no more than an pathetic attempt by Operation Black Vote to raise the profile of their group. Which is a shame when there are real cases of racism in society that warrent closer attention.

Pepe reina is an absolute gent, I have met him many times and always had a laugh with him. I have met a lot of his friends as well. They are all nuts, but really friendly, and from different backgrounds i should add. the people accusing him of racism are the ones who should take a good hard look at themselves. Tw@ts come in every colour.

Won't it be fantastic if Stevie G carries the Carling Cup out to the pitch and proudly displays it infront of the Anfield faithful this Sat before the game?! It'll not only fire up the team and the supporters, but most of all, rub it in the faces of the gooners, who were so close to getting their hands on the trophy last year but lost it - SingRed


Not sure, as Suarez not shaking Evra's hand, made the Mancs even more determined to beat us, so don't want a replay of that, especially in a must win game!

A mickey mouse suit still won't make kids like you any more mate

''minutes away from owning Liverpool'' Sorry mate it makes no sense, try again, this has to be the worst effort by any, jealousy and bitter fan so far. LOL

Cant help mate sorry, but maybe next time try searching for 'original material' on eBay.

davethebutcher


Do you want to type that again Ashy. Only this time in English please .

Dear much love. I first heard the Mickey Mouse punchline over 40 years ago, I think it was when MUFC were a 2nd division side. Get your mum to go on Ebay and search for new jokes.

Dont worry about your Ebay bid, it doesnt count if youve only got one brain cell..

Tel 1949


Maybe much love can buy uniteds 2011-2012 dvd ' 101 BEST THROW INS ' Cause after this trophy less season thats all they'll have to shout about .


Hi Much Love. You may not know it but love also nil which means nothing. Much love therefore translates into a lot of nothing and that is what you are and what you say. I would also like to point out that Mickey Mouse has a very rich history and is much loved throughout the world. You also have a great Disney character at your club - the manager - Pluto.

My Arsenal prediction... but probably completely wrong…..

We need 3 in midfield and with Stevie out and Henderson out of form that leaves Spearing, Adam and Shelvey.

I doubt Bellamy will be risked to start so the inform Downing and Kuyt should start with fresh Carroll up front with heavily played Suarez on the bench.

I doubt Johnson will be risked so Kelly will step in at right back with Carra partnering Skrtel due to the absence of Agger.

Suarez, Bellamy and Maxi will come on in the last 30 mins to seal the win.

---------Reina----------
Kelly—Carra-Skrtel--Enrique
-------Spearing--------
----Shelvey--Adam -----
Kuyt-------------Downing
--------Carroll ----------

Subs
Suarez
Bellamy
Maxi
Hendo
Robinson
Coates
Doni

Red Owl


I don't think Shelvey will start against Arsenal, it's a big game for us and he's still young and inexperienced, he hasn't had enough game time to be selected for a game like this. I'm hoping Gerrard will be ok to start, but if not I think Henderson being part of a midfield three with Adam and Spearing would be fine. Henderson has shown that he has the ability to pick out that killer pass just needs to do it more consistently.

Vik


1 Killer pass in 20 games is not great to say the least. Shelvey deserves his chance, whenever he plays he contributes more than Henderson. Plus he will be fresh and ready to go.


Heavily played Suarez! he's only played a couple of games in the last few months.

WB


I personally would say the line-up against Arsenal should be:

-------------Reina--------------
-Johnson--Kelly--Agger--Enrique-
--------Spearing--Adam---------
--Kuyt----------------Downing--
---------Suarez---Carroll--------

KennyD JFT96


Suarez played 120 minutes on Sunday and 90 minutes on Wednesday... which equals more than any other player in the EPL over the past week.

Hi everyone. please let this post be the last regarding the Reina video. its obvious we have upset people by winning the cup on Sunday and certain sneaky b**tards are intent on harming our image. Don't let any outsiders ruin the good feeling factor. if we beat Arsenal on Sunday, who knows what reaction there will be. someone somewhere will concoct a bulls**t story for the wonderful reliable, honest Sunday papers, stating something racial, homophobic, anti government took place throughout the game, before the the game, after the game, in one of the pubs, in our cars, on radio city:
something John Aldridge said.

I was looking on L.F.C. TV. and the club have asked fans to select a 3 song play list to be played just before kick off on Saturday, which includes Y.N.W.A.
Now my concern is. what if the vast majority of Fans chose Ring Of Fire as the no 2 choice to Y.N.W.A.
The media and others would be suggesting that this track by Johnny Cash and this form of music is called Country and Western. Yeee AHH, good old red neck music. obvious racist, it's too late we're sussed.
They will say if you play Y.N.W.A. backwards there are racial messages.

Forget these no marks, let's look forward to more success, starting on Saturday.
Come On You REDS!

Hello Eds and fellow reds. Not so much a rumour but more of a quick discussion - We currently have a stupid amount of midfielders in the squad - if you count Lucas, we have Lucas, Gerrard, Spearing, Shelvey, Adam, Henderson and also potentially Aquilani at the end of the season who has recently stirred up a bit of interest in heading back to Anfield. Henderson cost us 16m (potentially) and Adam was around 8m, (with 11 assists and 2 goals - not the best performances but statistically hes been miles ahead of our other Midfield signings). Downing cost us 19m also...
The point im trying to make is...surely we will see a midfielder or two leave, at least on loan? Shelvey and Spearing perhaps? Also, if you think about the money we spent...maybe splashing 25m on Hazard or Soldado in relative context wouldnt be 'that much'?
To be honest I wouldnt count striker as a problem area - we have Bellamy, Suarez and Carroll who can play there (not including Kuyt as he is 50/50 to leave).
Surely a right winger is priority?

Os Red


 

 

01 Mar 2012 10:53:58
in king kenny we trust, i honestly think the club is giving more and more chances and being patience with the players like hendersen, downing, carroll, johnson etc. we didnt buy any players except for reserve in the jan transfer market yet we won the league cup, king kenny certainly has a long term planning for the club, he is also preparing the young boys from the reserve to be the stars of tomorrow, so am all wid king kenny, he might not win major cups after the league cup but i see all the future bright for liverpool yah i would appreciate him if he buys a good playmaker like silva or if he gives suso a chance


No more trust business. win carling cup like championship team. 4th place or go that's it for kenny.

This Reina advert is good for us because if there are any people of ethnic origin who think we are a racist club then this will surely make them realise that there is a sky/media witch hunt against Liverpool, because if that advert is deemed racist by anybody then we might aswell all pack in and move to the moon! Don't respond to any idiots from other clubs who will try and bait you into defending it. DO NOT LET THEM BAIT YOU!

Waro


The ad is one of a series that Pepe is shown to find himself in a set of situations where there is a sense of ironic parody...

I haven't heard 'Liberty' complaining vociferously about Sacha Baron Cohen's 'the Dictator' at the Oscars; Ah but that has comedic value - and the series of ads, don't?

Get a life, we might as well all lead lives in hermetically sealed rooms...

Anyone else think Bellamy should start against Arsenal, he would give their defence a major problem. Im unsure about Carroll starting but he was a menace against them last season with Newcastle, what do you guys think? Ed your opinion?

Vik {Ed001's Note - Bellamy would be the first name down on the team sheet, if fit, for me.}


Reina
johnson Carragher Skrtel Enrique

henderson adam
gerrard

Suarez carroll Bellamey


I'd leave Suarez and Bellamy on the bench, just because of the impact Suarez and Meireles had as subs at the Emirates. Cross it into Carroll for an hour or so then get Suarez and Bellamy at them:

Reina
Johnson-Carra-Skrtel-Enrique
Spearing
Henderson-Gerrard-Adam-Downing
Carroll

the english media is just too sensitive now. I used to live in Canada and ice hockey players are allowed to fight! but when suarez didn't shake evras hand the media go on and on about it for days. I admit suarez should have shook his hand but that's not the point. I haven't even looked at the reina ad nor have I read any articles related to it because I'm simply tired of this crap. there is a fine line between being politically correct and just being a whiny little b**ch.

hi all
the media as you already know are out for liverpool
i believe this reina advert saga will see the media portray our club in a negative manner i mean its not like liverpool were behind the advert
liverpool are not racist if we were why have we had many black players over the years who we have loved

wazaldinho7


I saw the ad and some one from some unknown organisation named OVB says its fault of Liverpool and their handling of Suarez situation. I mean WTF.

So if the world ends by the end of 2012, Is it because of Liverpool handling of Suarez racism situation.

Okay if some knob head speaks some BS, how come the press print this BS. Whoever living in Britain i pity u that u need to read these rags daily.

AJ


I saw this advert a few weeks ago and didnt think anything of it. I think that if pepe asked for a black coffee then it would be in the papers. Its getting silly now the media are just causing trouble.
Red raj


It's becoming a witchhunt now and the group challenging the ad are not doing themsleves favours.

Have the group criticised Matt Lucas and David Walliams for blacking their characters up and putting accents on?

Look anywhere and people are parodied, every stand up comedian would have to cancel their act.

And the media themselves who are reporting with such sensation are the worst culprits, on the back page they criticise Liverpool and on the front page bemoaning immigration. They constantly express sexism and homophobic attitudes too. Hypocrites of the highest level.
