Liverpool Banter Archive April 04 2014

A lively and very entertaining half from the U21 match. Norwich spurned an early chance with a header from close range. Liverpool took over in terms of possession, pressing and chances. A fantastic effort from Petersen who twice hit the woodwork. The deadlock was broken by Jordan Williams. Draughted into a def mid role for this match, a regular defender, he picked the ball up outside the centre cirle and drove towards the Norwich box. He unleashed a thunderbolt that flew under the keeper from 25yds out.
With Liverpool having more of the chances and better possession they were nearly made to pay the cost for missing when Norwich nearly scored a late chance from a free kick. The ball came across the box, missed by Fulton and Connor Randall smashed it against his own post. Texeira was exceptional in the 1st 45, Dunn unlucky not to have 2 goals when 1 on 1 with the keeper twice. Really looking forward to the 2nd half, more of the same please.

Not really banter more of a poser for any of the Eds and my fellow Reds. As a back up forward, what do you guys think of Frasier Campbell? He is quick can finish, opportunistic, brave, has scored against some of the big boys this season and has 9 goals this season for a very poor Cardiff side. Surely he'd be a better option than Aspas! Your thoughts gents (and ladies)

If it's a player from prem I would like to see bony from Swansea he may have a clause for cl teams coming in for him only guessing mind you.

Campbell would be more then decent addition to the team in my opinion

Always thought Campbell was a decent player, even back in his Sunderland days. That said, I don't know that, much like Aspas and Borini, he's going to want to sit on our bench every game to get the odd 5 minute runout.

Bit of a problem we have there in that quality players aren't going to want to watch from the sidelines and we don't have the funds needed to pay the big wages (like City) to make them at least minimally happy for a few seasons if they don't play much.

For me, I'd focus on getting good young prospects or older players as that sort of 3rd choice. Trying to get someone like Aspas who is in their prime to sit and watch is always going to be difficult.

Bit harsh slagging Aspas off considering he has barely played. How good can anyo e be when they have to play second fiddle to Stirridge and Suarez. Iago looks like a great little player - why not give him a chance.

Would he be a better bench warmer than aspas? Would rather stick with aspas and borini next season than waste money on a position we are well catered for.

Poor Iago seems so out of place in the PL (and let's face it, Rodgers has come to the same conclusion, otherwise his sub appearances would be longer than 8 minutes) that I think we need a more stringent criteria than "better option than Aspas" when considering a striker to back up Luis and Daniel.

Campbell's not bad, but he strikes me as a guy who blows a bit hot and cold and needs to play every week to play himself into form, which he won't do here. I think it'd be a safer bet to stick with Borini, personally.

Iago certainly doesn't seem to think he has much of a future here either, to be honest:

" He told FTBpro: "I'm not 20 years old anymore, I can't go on loan and explode. I think the best would be to transfer to another club that I find the best fit for myself and the club." "

Agreed, Something Red, that Borini seems a reasonable choice as 3rd striker (perhaps even occasional wide player), but I'm not altogether sure he wants to stick around and sit on our bench either.

I agree with the young player option RDL. Maybe Campbell and Borini aren't too dissimilar, minus Campbell's Premier League experience. What ever happened to Yesil?

Any horse loving fans out there that could give any tips for the national think my lack of knowledge I will go for walk on just for the connection of the name.

I have gone for Double Seven and Tidal Bay. I am no expert on horses though unfortunately.

If you're looking for E/W I would suggest either the package or Balthazar king. I would avoid tidal bay and Long run.

Long runs jumping has become terrible, I think the taller obstacles here will bring him down pretty early. Tidal bays age and weight will seriously hamper him.

Only went for name on Tidal as its to do with Area I am from and Seven becuase I like McCoy.

Favorites hardly ever win.personally I'm going for Mr moonshine 33/1 at coral at the minute

Dusty carpet.

It will take some beating, lol.

Nice one DG I enjoyed that. :)

V neck heard it's a great jumper! Ba butm chss

Heard a good whisper for Good Foundations. Yer man said you could put your house on it!

Tommy monbeg dude or double seven worth a lil 5er each way. gluck mate also had to put walkon for a couple each way lol

I like Mountainous, Burton port and Quito de la roque all each way

I'll get back to you on my feelings about horse after I try some tartare tonight at a local soul food and bourbon bistro. Could play it safe and just have the fried chicken breakfast waffles in maple syrup but where's the fun in that?

I suggested Walk On to our friends on the Everton page, but it wasn't too well received for some reason.

Lol, pleasure Mikey

04 Apr 2014 20:34:16
That's it Walton red bet done 5 each way monbeg dude.12/1

Will walkon's price not be a bit false seeing as though just about every scouser there will be sticking money on it?

Creosote. it's good over fences, or failing that go for lunchtime, I think it's ten to one!

Man u are apparently in a syndicate behind 'hunt ball'

Peter crouch has got long odds on 'big shu'

I'll get me coat
