After buying Mr Carroll is it true that you are selling
all your midfielders as your main playmaker will now be
Jamie Carragher who can hoof it from the back?{Editors note: No, wouldnt have thought so}

This is an observation as opposed to a fantasy as most people post on here; Kenny has set the team up like we played in the mid ninties with 2 wingbacks al a Stig and Jones etc so if that's the idea he has, then we don't need any more strikers obviously and i'd be surprised if we signed a winger, the bid for Richards makes sense; he can play centre back or bomb forward if needs be. I think we'll go back in for a similar sort of defender and also Adam again who would battle Lucas for a start just behind Gerrard and Meireles, we didn't go all out for him coz he's not guaranteed a starting place. Hopefully Poulsen and Cole will go and the bench will primarily consist of younger players, i'd rather see Spearing and Pacheco coming on instead of them two.

Ed, if chavski sack carlo do you think roman will try to get kk?

i don't kno how anyone could actually post this KK has got to much of a love for the club to even tilt his head actually they on about bringing rafa in lol but i do reckon they will keep carlo in till the end of the year and see how jose situation will go jay bee

Ed do you reckon if blackpool go down the estimate for adams will go down dramatically and we could nip him for 5m?

Does anyone think that Broughton had any influence on Torres' sale to Chelsea? After all he was the Chairman of LFC, and would have known the ins and outs of Torres' contract?

He did a great job ousting the two chaps, but I can't help but wonder? ?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
No mate. There's only two people that knew Torres wanted to go to Chelski, and that was Fernando and Roman.

villareal but yeh, they are ONLY 3RD in la liga behind a couple of small teams ya know

How many top players do u see at the prime of there career going to villareal?

Make a real point please and we'll have a debate or are u 7 years old?

Senna, Requilme, Forlan, Nilymar, Rossi etc. .Have all played for Villarael mate. They have been one of Spain's and Euorpe's best teams in the last 5 years.

OK - I've only seen Lucas play live on about 6 times. But - on every time he was easily LFC's best midfielder. He keeps cool, tackles, covers and makes himself available for passes. Simple, smart football. With better players Lucas will look better. Sadly - when I saw them, it was Stevie G (who is undoubtably LFC's best all round player) who was trying too hard, over hitting passes and being miles out of position. SG & Meireles are threats when they can roam - and Lucas +1 other can help them do that. He only has to collect and make simple passes and when I saw him I thought Lucas did that brilliantly. As LFC push further up the pitch with KD's fresh approach I think Lucas, Gerrard and Meireles could be excellent. Lucas deserves some big ups from The Kop. He has taken far too much stick and deserves better. He is a damn more consistent, hard working and loyal to LFC than others who have come and gone. Every team needs players like Lucas, people to balance out the side and provide the platform for others. Personally - I think he will grow to be a key part of LFC that will emerge over next 9 months.

Don't forget ladies and gentlemen. RBS have Hicks and Gillett back in the high court in the next few days.

It will be interesting to hear what Mr Judge Floyd will have to say about them. As the case is being heard in front of the same Judge they tried to shaft.

And after what Hicks tried to do, i can't see the verdit going H&G's way.

Neither Lucas or Kuyt when they get the ball make people go "oh s**te" somethings gonna happen now. . .
***************************************

I don't think Raul, Gerrard, Maxi spark excitement either mate, unless they're six yards out. For me, Glen Johnson is the only one who does that, as he is the one who will always try to beat his man. I think it is unfair to single Kuyt and Lucas out in this regard - LIVERPRES

 

 

 

 

07 Feb 2011 23:00:06
Lucas is a workhorse for our side. We need him in there as he really is the only mid who breaks attacks up and plays the simple ball. If he adds a few goals to his game he is laughing.

This is the most rediculous statement i've heard, maybe Messi is just an average player who happens to be in great form all the time? If he is starting for us next season that will be the desicion of KK and if it worries you, well who gives a f**k!

Torres will be a nightmare for Carragher and Terry will bully Suarez
Steve McManaman looks at the key battles as Chelsea face Liverpool

According to mystic McManaman Liverpool
would loose most of the key battles all over the pitch chelsea would see more of the ball with
Essien stamping his authority on the game.
maybe its just me but everytime i have read anything he has to say on Liverpool
its always negative, he is also one of the worst so-called experts on ESPN
maybe he hasn't seen liverpools new found confidence and they are actually playing as a team
with belief in what they are doing and what the manager is trying to achieve
ok we have won 4 games on the bounce without conceding any goals,
i am not saying were back to were we want to be, but it looks a lot better than it did in December
the sooner Kenny gets a 5 year contract the better

Lucas was the key man responsible for shutting down Anelka, Lampard and Essien on Sunday. He even got stuck in against Torres a bit too. If we didn't have Lucas on the field on Sunday, the result may have been different. His value to the team is more than most people realise. He just goes about his job quietly. That's my opinion - LIVERPRES

 

 

07 Feb 2011 22:32:45

I don't understand why everybody still seems to think we need a new LB. Johnson is playing some pretty good football right now, so unless we are either losing him (or Kelly is going to be a CB), then the need is not really there. I'm all for signing a young player at LB, like Santon, who will be there for us in the future, but for now we are ok.

I really think CB is a much larger need for us. Carra is getting up there in age and Skrtel really isn't the answer. If we can address this position with Wilson or Ayala, then great, but it wouldn't hurt to add some more depth to that spot.

What we really need to focus on is a player who can cross a ball and provide us with some width. Obviously we have been talking about a player like this for a while now and I'm sure one will be bought in the summer. Other then that, the only signings should really just be young developmental players.

 

 

 

 

07 Feb 2011 22:24:41

Ed what are your thoughts on Aaron Lennon? Has a reputation of not having a final ball but this season his final ball has improved greatly. If tottenham fail to get champions league they may need to raise money and they might sell Lennon if it means they keep Bale and Modric. {Editors note: not good enough in my opinion}

(
6MIL FOR AN AVERAGE PLAYER WHO IN MY IMO CAN DO A JOB AGAINST LESSER TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE AND ON HIS DAY THE BIG TEAMS ASWELL NOT BAD CONSIDERING BLACKOUT WANT 14 MILL FOR ADAM.WHAT WE HAVE IN LUCAS I DON'T THINK WE CAN REPLACE FOR 6MIL AND IF KENNY DECIDES TO UPGRADE NEXT SEASON FOR THAT PRICE I WOULD STILL KEEP LUCAS HA WOULD BE A VERY VERY GOOD SQUAD PLAYER TO HAVE. MASCH COST US TRIPLE FOR HIS EGO, SULKING AND BACKSTABBING I'D RATHER IN ALL HONESTY HAVE LUCAS THAN MASCH AND I THINK SO WOULD KENNY

LUCAS GREAT GAME AGAINST SPURS
LUCAS GREAT GAME AGAINST MANURE( DOWN T 10MEN AT O.T)
LUCAS GREAT GAME AGAINST ARSENAL
LUCAS GREAT GAME AGAINST CHELSEA( HOME & AWAY)

NOT BAD 4 6MIL AVERAGE PLAYER

Ed, do the fair play rules apply in the summer transfer window ?
If so, bearing in mind our usual turnover etc, what sort of budget we will be possibly looking at (ball park figure) ?
I hope that the transfer fees become more sensible when the restrictions apply. .

Lucas showed determination to play for the reds by getting a gym at home to build his strength, suffered loads of abuse and has now started to show he is a good player. I think the kids got bottle and character, much more than some recent players and some who are still there!

Lucas is getting slaughtered on here. . . ffs. . did we not win yesterday?
If I was picking a world 11 then lucas would not get in it. . that's my opinion. . but everyone is missing the point>>>>
Point is that kenny is asking people to do specific jobs in the team. . if everyone does their job then we look solid and will win games. . . Galacticos do not win league titles. . Gary neville is a s**t right back in my opinion but he was consistently of a standard which allowed MANURE to win countless league titles. . who will the fans remember. . giggs and scholes and van nisterooy etc. . but neville was just as important in his own kn*b head way. .

Before this starts to get silly I don't ever remember saying that he wasn't playing well at the moment I just don't rate him as being good enough to take us forwards. Do you think Kenny will be happy enough with him for next season or do you think he will look to buy a new central midfielder
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
If he keeps playing like he does mate then Kenny will be more than happy with him. That's why i didn't see the sense in siging Charlie Adam this January. We didn't need Adam and from what i've seen Lucas seems to be a bit more mobile than Adam. Yes Adam is probably a better player than Lucas but we just didn't need him.

I think your right that Kenny will buy another CM this summer and it looks like Adam. I would rather us go for someone like Benega or Defour. These are young natural CDM's with a touch of class. But if Kenny wants Adam, then who am i to argue? But Lucas would be a very adequate back up, in my opinion.

07 Feb 2011 21:57:42
Sorry to join in this futile debate on lucas but the way KK is lining the side up he is instrumental to the formation as shown by yesterdays stats 1/ 3 of all tackles is phenomenal and 80% completed passes is again unbelievable what is it going to take to show that this player is our future

hibsylfc {ed's note - not good enough in my opinion, I prefer Kuyt to him.}. Pavelchenco actuarially scores goals

{Editor Note: And he actually plays in his natural position when he gets on. Why would we sign him as a third striker when one of the main reasons he wants to leave Tottenham is lack of first-team football?}

Would it be worthwhile going for another mercenary player like Adams. He bypassed LFC when they wouldn't up the ante. Went to the scum down the 62 and after they wouldn't go higher than 6 million he drove onto the Spiv darn sarf. If the driver had put his foot down he would have signed for Spurs. He missed out on a "big club" because Blackpool were trying to get as much as they could and the only one willing to go to 7 milliopn was Harry the Barstard. {ed's note - he never did any such thing, you clearly need to find out the truth before typing.}

 

 

07 Feb 2011 21:31:59
Given our recent results, and our current league position why in heavens name should any of us feel we have the right to slate any one player in the team? and yes i say team, because kenny has changed the players into a strong working unit, from the down hearted, under achieving individuals that started the season! they have all gelled under kenny, so slate one and you slate them all! . . . . . . .all for one and one for all, the lads are playing their hearts out for us, so lets do what we do best, support them!

All these posts about 'take the money' if real madrid come in for a 30m bid for gerrard should not even be posted-its ridiculous

its shocking to hear fans talk about money when the owners have said they don't need to sell to buy (and the fact there is alot of deadwood that can be shipped off aswell).

People complain about torres leaving and how he did, and here we are talking about figures for one of two players who are truly MISTER LIVERPOOLS

I for one hope he remains a liverpool player till he retires and pray we atleast with ONE PL title with him as our captain.

Everyone seriously needs to chill out on this whole lucas situation. yes he looked s**t when we brought him in. yes other teams laughed at him and yes we questioned benitez's decisions everytime he played him. However like many have quite rightly pointed out he has improved a hell of a lot and has been played out of position for the majority of his liverpool career. It's pretty clear from the adam saga that kenny does want another cm and everyone talks about strength in depth so wait until the summer, see who we bring in but for now just back every single player that's wearing the shirt and putting in this almighty effort which may see us ending up back in europe, would you actually prefer it if poulsen started everyweek?


OR MAYBE KENNY WANTED TO PLAY ADAM IN THE POSITION FABIO/ MAXI PLAYED IN THE 2 PREVIOUS MATCHES

Thanks for the reply BLAIR totally agree I think we might jus see more from Lucas under kenny and clarke. He could've put in a transfer and if we didn't have time to replace him who would fill in poulsen, spearing, jonjo I don't think so. managers have put their arm round him I think its time the fans did aswell. I'm not defending his mistakes or incapabilties jus the mere fact he plays for LFC and we should get behind instead of criticizing atleast till we get a better replacement

Money will not make the king lose his composure in the transfer market like it did with City buying too many strikers and spurs buying every winger they can find.
In all likelyhood the team will look like this next season
Sell: Jovanovic, Poulsen, Aurelio, Maxi & Cole(though kenny may hold onto him for another season.
Buy: LWB, CM, Left utility wing, Right utility Wing.

Bench: GK, Kuyt, Lucas, Wilson, Pacheco, Johnson, LW, RW.

'Benitez played him because he bought him and was determined to stick with him even though he was awful most weeks
Hodgson tried to replace him straight away with Poulsen who was a disaster so he had to stick with Lucas. KK has the same problem which is why he was desperate to sign Adam. I guarantee that if Poulsen had been half decent Lucas wouldn't get a look in. If you would like to give me a list of Brazilian defensive midfielders I will explain why Lucas gets the nod by his manager who, as you pointed out, was a defensive midfielder! If you really think Lucas is good enough then I am afraid you are clueless'

Apology's for keeping you waiting mate, but i just read your response. But if you can't see how well Lucas is playing then "thick" was the softest word i could use. Or Ed would have f****d me off this site.

"Must try harder" that's the last thing my old English teacher said to me, the day i left Borstal. Now he was "thick".

I think we should calm down on the maybe targets, as long as king kenny gets the job its proven he has the backing of henry im sure he'll bring whats needed, and for all you wanting lucas sold ya mad he will play a massive role in kennys regime next season, keep stevie g til the end i say!

 

 

07 Feb 2011 21:04:49

Ed, do you think we should go for Davide Santon in the summer, i mean he checks all the boxes the NESV are looking to be ticked. If not, what U21 players do you think we should look at?

SARRELL

{Editor Note: I would go for him. Top young player in my opinion. Although I don't think we'll just be going for "U21" players, I do think we should go for Erikson from Ajax.}

For me mate he is better than Carrick (19 mill) and Anderson (19 mill) at the minute. So could he get on the Man'ure team? If Carrick and Anderson do, then why not Lucas.

He's better than Denillson who seems to be featuring more for Arsenal this season.

As for Spurs they would have him starting every week. Because they have been crying out for a midfielder like Lucas for years now. Someone who gives 100%, makes tackles, breaks the play up, covers a lot of ground, does all the dirty work, his passing is getting better and isn't bad going forward either. Spurs paid 12 mill for Palacios, we paid 6 for Lucas and Palacios isn't even good enough for a starting place.

I do admire lucas cos he has had his critics me included, and he has got his head down and worked hard for the club, shown loyalty and not looked for an escape route when the going gets tough. . .
BUT i'm sorry to say i doubt his ability at the highest level. .Yes he has improved and the reason we notice this is because he has been so poor before. .
I watch our matches closley and individual player preformace and hate when D*** heads see someone do something well and forget the S*** play that went before. .
Example for me Luis Garcia would give the ball away. . not track back. .not tackle, make more incomplete passes than anyone on the field. then score a cracker and everyone thinks he's great. . sorry not me. .
For me Lucas is steady at best. .If you want to say he's great check his stats for complete passes. . tackles won. .goals created. goals scored.
Improved yes but still average. . look at the teams who have shown intrest in him. Stoke, Gremio, etc. . not exactly the destination of a top DM is it?

Lucas is a valuable player at the moment, I don't see kenny selling him but I do see him strengthening that area and then I believe he'll be a really good squad player but will start often enough


I think maybe we as fans can help Lucas become even more confident in himself by having a Lucas chant during matches like we did for masch, alonso because his commitment to the club is there might jus lift his game that bit more and although there r better players out there they r not playin for lfc but LUCAS is our DM so let's reward him with chant after I don't see it doin us any harm if anything might get the others playin better for wanting a chant/ song of their own.

Argghh why go for adam when we can get banega for a similar price! adam is overated banega is underated! banega is a fantastic player available for a small price whereas adam is a decent player going for a big price!

 

 

 

 

07 Feb 2011 20:51:42
I for one think Lucas is a good player. (and have always thought that). Yes he's had hard time, but he's been played out of position during his whole time at Liverpool (bought as an attacking midfielder) and been uncomfortable. However he's never once complained, spat his dummy out or made any demands. he's just got on with what's been asked of him. He's improving and has done consistently well in a season that had been going so wrong!

El Diablo!

 

 

07 Feb 2011 20:50:59
Some of these posters on here are more lunatics than fanatics. . You know nothing of football relations.
Firstly - For a player to be sold to a club he must want to leave.
Why would Gerrard leave now that he is being managed by his hero?
Even if we can get 100million for him, if he does not want to go we are tied to the contract he we have with him till 2013 which he will then be able to leave on a free transfer.
So hold up with all the Sell Gerrard nonsense. This is not Fantasy Football manager.
Secondly - What is the number one reason why some teams who come up from the championship immediately get relegated the next season? They tend to go on a wild shopping spree buying a whole lot of new players thinking that it would improve the team that got them up. It always backfires as the new team does not know each other and has no time to gel.
Now all you idiots who think we are going to go on a wild shopping spree and still challenge for titles next season are bloody idiots.
We are not going to buy more than 3 1st team players and perhaps 1 of those 3 would be in our regular starting lineup. WHY? Cos kenny knows that we gotta stick to a team who knows each other. Big changes don't work. You've got to subtly tweak things. Or else you have your team running around like headless chickens without a damn clue.
Thirdly - Lucas. . I've never liked him in the past years but lately I've discovered why. . He was either made to play out of position or within himself by Rafa in a more Rigid formation and tactics. He was not allowed any freedom to play his natural game. Under Roy he had slightly more freedom and under kenny he fits well into this fluid formation. I'm very impressed with him and feel that we should hold onto him as a squad player.
Him and Kuyt embody what LFC is all about. They have the passion, the energy, the soul. They are the kind of Romantic Badge kissers that Torres says no longer exist in the modern money game, they're super fit and hardly ever get injured. But to be honest they are not the most skilled of players and when they get the ball at their feet they do not give off the impresstion that something is going to happen, neither does anything happen for that matter.
We need few players who can whip in a cross for Carrol. Gerrard needs an understudy. and we need a left wingback.
Other than that we shouldn't change too much or we'll spend half of next season trying to get the new players to gel as a team. . Kenny won't make that mistake.

So why are someone still turning on Lucas, and I'm danish and can spell bether english than many of you young fans!
Do you need more proof? ?

Essien often dominate midfield when playing for Chelsea, and often has he turned our team into very ordinary stuff.
Sunday he couldn't control anything, all beause Lucas took control!

Gerrard was all over the place, Meireles knows how to pop up at the right time, and Kelly is chacing every ball even though his passing can improve a lot, he shows the will.

Stop harrasing players and support the team, and remember, we do not wanna turn into a buying team, we wanna win the league the right way!

And that's why FSG is the right owners, they understand!

There is no quick fix Kenny knows that, but showing termination and soul will win a lot of games, lets support the lads, and count the points in the end.

And by the way, Lucas and Kuyt could get into every team in the league, and I mean starting 11.

Hodgson tried to replace him straight away with Poulsen who was a disaster so he had to stick with Lucas. KK has the same problem which is why he was desperate to sign Adam. I guarantee that if Poulsen had been half decent Lucas wouldn't get a look in. If you would like to give me a list of Brazilian defensive midfielders I will explain why Lucas gets the nod by his manager who, as you pointed out, was a defensive midfielder! If you really think Lucas is good enough then I am afraid you are clueless'

Did u not hear kenny say , " we brought him for five and half years not next few weeks and may I add with the way we r going I'm sure were not gonna rely on one player and I'm sure kenny has more than one system to play which will in order bring goals from different positions I.e raul, gerrard, Suarez, kuyt, even tho don't see ngog gettin ahead of kuyt or Suarez but will chip in with a couple so like kenny says its not about ONE player its a team.

On Lucas:
This lad should be given a medal just on the size of his cajones!
All the stick he's taken, all the shouts, the boos, the claps when he's been taken off and YET he still wants to wear our shirt, and his, with pride and he plays like it, for US!
The lad took merciless stick and took it well, got his head down and worked and worked. Paid for a gymn to be installed in his house with his own, admitted not shy money, based on what the phsios told him and worked some more to develop his physique. He learned English within three months and is now fluent (The feckin England Manager hasnt learned it yet! ) I didn't rate Lucas much before but I tell you what I rate him now. Also he plays in a different position evey week, not always his natural either, in Brazil he was an attacking mf here he has had to learn new skills AND a new position.
He works and tries and every team needs some of that.
But most of all, he's not a bad player and certainly better than Poulsen, Shelvey and for me Adam who has only got good playing for Blackpool after he failed at Rangers and cost the tangies 400k.
Give me Lucas any day, and yes he can pass as any of you who watched the Stoke game will have seen.

 

 

07 Feb 2011 20:27:53
Except for goals Gerrard has been awesome the last few games. I think our expectations of Stevie are so high we think he's had an average game when he's actually had a very good game. . he was arguably out best player against Chelsea I thought.

Im sick of reading all this anti Lucas posts, he is an integral part of how we play and without him playing we wouldn't have the winning streak we currently possess. He sweeps just in front of the defense and reads the game brilliantly, as we saw against chelsea when he made vital interceptions especially in the second half and covers for players bomb on to form attacks ie Agger, Kelly, Johnson. I think everyone has a negative view of Lucas from Rafas time as he played alongside masch, a player who does the same job ie protect he back four and play simple passes to the more creative players. Now Lucas can do what he does best and act soley as a defensive midfielder, protecting the back 4 or 3 and starting play from deep. I do however agree we could strenghten in this area as I don't think Lucas will ever be world class but people saying an Adam or an 'alonso type player' is not the way forward. One of these players would florish beside Lucas but Gerrard is occupying this role. Having Adam beside Gerrard would leave us exposed to a counter attack as he isn't displined enough to play defensive midfielder and wants to influence the game in the final third. If we look to strenghten in the summer I think Javi Martinez or M'Vila would be looked at but I would personally attempt to get Sven Bender of Borussia Dortmund or Arturo Vidal of Leverkusen. Ed any clue if we have been looking at these players? {ed's note - we have definitely looked at Martinez and M'Vila, I would be shocked if we hadn't checked out Vidal too.}

 

 

 

 

07 Feb 2011 19:33:40
30 million for Gerrard? Absolute nonsense! He stops when he wants to, he has deserved to play until he thinks he can't anymore. Even he has said he feels he can offer another 4/ 5 years.

Do you think old whisky nose would have took that money for giggs or ancelotti taken that for maldini?

The only manager who sells players when they reach the big 30 is wenger and his side ain't won anything since he dismantled the invincible's. You need the right blend of youth and old. Also with people like gerrard and carragher, they will impose the standards needed to succeed at a club like liverpool and inspire the younger and new players to play and fight for the titles this club deserves.

 

 

07 Feb 2011 19:32:42
Lucas is carp end of, yes he playing better, yes he runs around (headless), and yes his passing range is up to about 9 yards now, but if you were watching him play for another team people would be laughing at how bad he is. An improved player but nowhere near the standards required for lfc

= = = = = = = =

Even when the whole team was playing badly under Roy , Lucas was one of the better players, that says something about his attitude.
To me he was our second best player yesterday (after carra), he made him self available when ever our defence was under pressure, something that Gerrard didn't do.
The reason Lucas lost the ball few times, is because he received it more than any other player.

Ed totally agree with you about kelly coming on in leaps and bounds, looking forward to him getting a game in his preferred CB position in time.maxi was not overly impressive yesterday , thank god raul scored or maxi would have never lived down that miss. I think maxi will be a bit part player over the next few months while hopefully blooding suso and Pacheco. It's very exciting to see the next generation developing and finally getting a chance been a long time since we have producing in house.This is where I personally see Jamie C 's value on the staff over the next few years making sure each young lads coming through understands what it means to wear the shirt in front of the Kop and what is required to do so(cracking tackle on FT yesterday you just can teach that awareness)

07 Feb 2011 18:53:01

Ed do you think we will see either Jack Robinson or Chris Mavinga in first team action next year? I think they are both top talents and could help us with our left back woes. . And also do you think Kelly will stay as right back or will he move to his natural position as centre back next season?

{Editor's Note: Maybe Robinson, but I rather think Mavinga may have had enough by the summer and look to move on. If his loan goes well I am certain he will be gone in the summer - and I think Amoo will have had enough of it as well.}

For once and for all give lucas some credit, Made full international debut in August 2007, A former Under-21s Brazilian captain. He is very Hard-working with bags of stamina, he scored in the Euopa League quarter-final win over benfica.
He became the youngest ever recipient of the Bola de Ouro in 2006.

This lads is only getting better every week and will develope into a world class midfielder under the guidance of King Kenny. After yesterdays game, we as fans need to support our future superstars everytime they cross the White line and leave all this negative / moaning in the past with H&g a new Era has dawned and we must embrace it.

Anyone one still running down this guy can not call themselves a true fan

{Editor's Note: I am pretty surprised he has returned to the weekly Liverpool hate list right now as well. Looking at the game yesterday everyone did a pretty good job, perhaps Maxi was bottom of the pile but it was a good result.

I don't think Lucas is good enough but I am prepared to take on board what you are saying. Your argument is much more lucid than just calling me "a plastic fan" because my opinion isn't the same as yours. I agree he has improved and when he pulls the shirt on he gets my full support I just think we should improve in that position.

'Benitez played him because he bought him and was determined to stick with him even though he was awful most weeks
Hodgson tried to replace him straight away with Poulsen who was a disaster so he had to stick with Lucas. KK has the same problem which is why he was desperate to sign Adam. I guarantee that if Poulsen had been half decent Lucas wouldn't get a look in. If you would like to give me a list of Brazilian defensive midfielders I will explain why Lucas gets the nod by his manager who, as you pointed out, was a defensive midfielder! If you really think Lucas is good enough then I am afraid you are clueless'

Hi I am a big fan of the site and have read posts everyday since the separate Liverpool page was made this is a quick question and was wondering if any fans new how I could possibly get my 7 year old to be a mascot at a match his friend at school walked out with John Terry yesterday and now wants to better him I did tell his friend to kick Torres in the n*ts yesterday but did not take any notice shame. Any feed back would be brilliant though thanks

There are much better players than Lucas, that we could purchase for the money we get for him, He has done well this season but he is still to inconsistent, and he is also guilty of losing the ball a lot, We need someone with vision as well, and he does not have that

 

 

07 Feb 2011 18:04:22

Gerrard is MR LIVERPOOL, and if he leaves to play elsewhere, he'll be back in the future, he'll be handed a job a liverpool for however long he wishes it.

 

 

07 Feb 2011 18:03:54

Steven Gerrard is priceless, 30 million is not enough for the a man who is Mr. Liverpool, yes its true no man is bigger than Liverpool football club but Steven Gerrard is arguably the most vital part of it yeah he's getting on a bit and maybe not looking as sharp as he once was but the man is by far the best captain not only in the premier league but world football and should have been england captain years back when that clown gave it that cockney t*rt

For the person bashing Lucas, i hated him last year with a passion but now im a fan of his.

His pass completion was 89% against Chelsea as Stamford Bridge 81% in Chelsea's half. THATS GOOD -Mc

To all u people saying take 30 million for stevie g , you disgust me , he's shown his loyalty to us , so show some to him , absolute disgrace, i hope gerrard stays till he retires , stevies priceless. .

to the bufoon who wrote this, Agreed, stevie is priceless, he has been a talisman in our midfield,

but, surely a true genius like him deserves a title shot somewhere, we won't be in that position to give him that for about 2-3 years,

surely we owe him a title for his efforts, with us or somewhere else,

to me, he decides, not the fans, and if we get a healthy wedge from real madrid, so be it, i'll only ever say thanks for the moments stevie, god

Come on let's get real about Lucas. He is doing better of late but let's be honest he couldn't be much worse than he has been over the last few seasons! He is never going to be the player we need to move forward he is bang average at his best

Oh is that Why a proven premier league manager (benitez) bought and played him.

Or why a proven premier league manager (Hodgson) played him.

Or why a proven premier league manager(Dalglish) play(s) him.

Or why Brazil Manager (dunga) plays him.

Thank h*ck your here to clear up all there mistakes.

Lucas is a FANTASTIC team player, Does all the running and back tracking so Raul and Stevie can be so dangerous in attack. And hardly gets the credit he deserves.

Cheers mate

The problem with some fans is that Lucas was poor when he first came, And like the saying goes first impressions count, Our first impression was of a poor standard Brazilian, Over time he got better, But gradually so the difference has been small game by game so it was difficult to really see the improvment because it wasnt drastic so that first impression still stands for some.

Look at torres first impression SUPERSTAR, Now he's a shadow of his former self (i hope he rediscovers his old self) he was entertaining to watch, But to all doubters watch Liverpool WITH Lucas, Then watch us WITHOUT Lucas you'll see what he brings to our team.

Staying in a well k own hotel this morning overheard a scout saying a £75 million deal done for fabregas but didn't hear who to but SAF not too happy. She also brokered the Torres deal and she also said that Schumacher is joining Red bull
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Is she a football scout and a F1 scout
-----------------------------------
He knows her well enough to know her history (ie The Torres deal and Schumacher) so must have spoken to her but then does not know her well enough to sit at the same table as her and has to hear the info from afar.Then as they are such best mates that she will tell him about Torres she won't tell you to your face about Fabregas.And why would Fergie get upset everyones known for like the last three seasons that Fabregas wants to go back to Barcelona when he wants to move on so I think hes had a little time to get over it.

Does anybody think it would be worth considering brining Greame Souness in to work 1 on 1 with Lucas, Because i think Lucas has bags of talent, Comitment, Desire to win, gives 110% can tackle, Pass, Shoot, I think working with Souness would help his on-field intelligence, Which pass to play (long or short), When to get forward, When to stay back, How to slow the game down, How to speed it up, After all Gary Mac did wonders for Gerrards game.

What you think

I'm sorry, I know he tries hard but he is not a top 4 player.
Kuyt is the same. Hopefully, next season he will become our backup striker."

And by that reckoning so Lucas is perfect at Liverpool because we are not a top four club. . .
At least not till end of the season and then at Chavskis expense :-). Lay off Lucas, he is doing something we would all love and doing it better than we could. The boy is playing his guts out for the CLUB every week and has vastly improved under Kenny in my opinion, so give the lad the credit he deserves.

We play at Sparta Prague next Thursday away in the Europa league. Should we comfortably win (i.e. 0-3 or better); I fully believe that Pacheco, Suso, Wilson and Spearing should all be given starts in the 2nd leg at home the following week. Why not?? We could have a strong bench just in case its needed, but seeing how we play Manure 2 weeks following, it would be good to give some well earned rest to the likes of Gerrard, Raul, Kuyt, Lucas, Skrtel, Agger & Johnson. But perhaps more interestingly, it would be great to see our potential future stars line up together, which could look like this..

Question Ed. Reckon Adam Johnson will be interested in a move to Anfield this summer?

I think you're missing the point Harry. There's no doubting we would all love to see Alonso playing instead of Lucas as he is a BETTER player. That doesn't make Lucas a bad player. Prime example is Kuyt. There's a dozen or more forwards who are better than Kuyt in the prem, yet we don't have them. Kuyt battles for us, and is given the credit by every LFC supporter for it. Yet Lucas does the same and gets slagged by the likes of yourself. The lad puts himself on the line knowing some of the biggest battles he's going to have are with LFC supporters. That is quite simply degrading what LFC supporters are all about.
Shmickles


And the point is that if we are going to improve next season we should be on the look out for another Alonso type player in midfield and Lucas reverts to the subs bench.
I'm sorry, I know he tries hard but he is not a top 4 player.
Kuyt is the same. Hopefully, next season he will become our backup striker.

My reference is to us as fans, not any one player. Have another read mate. If we as fans don't back who Kenny is putting out on the pitch then we're not backing Kenny. Yes, we need to improve on the pitch. But also off it. Get your own house in order.

5 players wanted in the summer

1 Left Back/ Wing Back
1 Centre Back
2 Wide players
1 Forward

Youth and technical ability Important, the attacking recruits must pace.

Sylvain Marveaux deal already agreed

Priorities are Hazard, Subotic, Coentrao, Honda

Also being looked at Griezmann, Young, Gibbs, Kjaer, Musacchio, Garay, Albiol, Drenthe, Mata, Cahill, Mertesecker, Taiwo, Hulk, Gervinho, Elia.

Already had discussions with Benfica about the Coentrao deal, involving Insua

Cole, Jovanovic and Maxi are all likely to be departing, club reckons they can bring better younger players on less wages

Bob
- - - - - - - - - - - -

I think everyone needs to get a reality check, Hazard WILL NOT sign for us as he will almost certainly go to Arsenal and should that not happen there are about 4 other teams that he would choose before us. Please please please start being realistic about our targets. Can I suggest some REALISTIC possible signings? And can you give your opinion please Ed's
LB. Santon
CB. Lovren
CM. Pjanic
CM. Honda
RW. Turan

Ok, lets start a debate, a mass debate.
If Messi were to be made available because he either wanted a change or Barca wanted to cash in.

Would you as a fan want our US owners to splash the cash. In the region of £70-90m. or would you accept that Chelski or Man s**tty or Scum Utd or the spendthrift Arsenal could have him for that kind of money.

Yes, we would have him in our team any day of the week, but would you seriously want to spend that kind of money on one player?? ??
RED FIRST & LAST.
ED: Please post on both boards. Thanks

I'd sell my Mrs. for Messi to be in our team lol.

Why on earth would we accept 30mil for r best player for the last decade, club captain and inspiration he is priceless to us did u not see his 2nd half hatrick this season when we looked like we were going to be hammered by a poor napoli side and that's only 1 of the 100 times he has won matches on his own for us, they can keep there money!

 

 

 

 

07 Feb 2011 16:41:26
I am very happy to say i was wrong about Lucas, i felt he had talent but not enough for our team.
If we continue with a defensive midfielder in our line up then i'm very happy to have Lucas in that role.
He has shown guts, determination, heart & amazing inner strength to remain here & develope even though he has been given unjust abuse from some quarters at times (not me). Fair play to the guy!
On the Stevie G situation with regards newspaper reports of a £25m bid, i don't believe for a minute it's true. Steve has been amazing for us as we all know & nobody would begrudge him a move if he wanted it but Real won't pay that much for him nor would Stevie leave us now with Kenny here & us improving. He's not the player he was (not as dynamic) but he's still different class!
But it's just my opinion.
Cheers,
Irish Kev.

Bob Loblaw
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Totally agree Bob. Him and Kenny seem to be doing wonders with the squad. You wouldn't even think this was the same team/ squad that Hodgson had.

Just goes to show mate that the squad wasn't that bad after all. It was Hodgson, just as we suspected.

Blair Mayne YNWA

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

As we always said Blair (along with many others) Hodgson is good bloke and a decent manager, but his tactics were wrong for liverpool. I know there is a risk of Tarnashing KK rep, but If Kenny wants to get back into management then who are we to say otherwise. People say he has been out of the game too long, which is possibly the reason Clarke was brought in by KK, but I will say this, every match I have seen live at Anfield and every match I have watched on TV, KK has been there (along with all the Blackburn and Necastle matcheshe goes to watch) so its not as though he hasnt witnessed the evolution of football over the last 7 years. One of the Eds also made a good point, what seems a million miles ago now, October I think it was, that managres are over complicating football these days and something I don't think Kenny does. He liked to play attaching passin football as a player andI don't think its changed. its been allot more pleasing to watch. Again this is not a go at Hodgeson, he was a defender as aplayer, it makes sense that his style of play is defensive first, it just wasn't working for us and I do think the players have to take a share of repsonsability but playing raul on the right was bad tactics, look at him through the centre, hes a great player like I have always said. By all accounts he ran the game for portugal against spain, and that aint an easy midfiels to dominate. We survided for so long with two match winners in Gerrard and Torres, Hopfully Raul can be one now and hopefully we can add two more with carroll and Suarez and Gerrard can start playing as part of the team instead of us relying on him to dig us out it or produce a mtach winner on his own.

Hi ed, are prem clubs allowed to loan in players outside of the jan window? Its not liverpool but my m8 a geordie magpie has said that newcastle are looking at getting in thierry henry from new york in a similar fashion to what everton did with donavon last year. Any truth in this? Cheers

What do people reckon our best team/ formation is for the rest of the season. The editor can look back thru the archives and back me up.I have said all along to go with three at the back but some of the so called experts on this site thought it was a stupid idea until Kenny picks it and then its the best formation ever. anyway i think we could go for this when everbody is fit.

Well said. As good as Dirk Kuyt played/ worked yesterday, if it had been him crossing the ball there never would of been a goal. Gerrards delivery reached dirk in the centre and led to the confusion in the box that allowed Raul to finish superbly. Gerrards Deliverey and ability to put balls anywhere will also be hugely important when Andy carroll gets on the pitch.

**The same as yours by the look of it.

SpanishChris

{Editor Note: No ed said Dalglish wasn't good enough for Liverpool. The Liverpool eds were concerned because everyone knows Henry wanted a young manager at the helm and didn't want KK getting the job due to the fact that he's such a legend, and if he came and did well and they hired someone else, not only would they get masses of criticism, but the next manager would not get the chance or time he deserves. As for Suarez, well it was just opinion based that Suarez wouldn't come. Look up the word "opinion" in a dictionary. And club reps were in Qatar talking with Honda's reps, it was unlikely he would move anywhere due to the Asia Cup anyway. In future, read what is written on here instead of making me waste my time explaining things to you because you were to inconsiderate to read it.}

Ok, lets start a debate, a mass debate.
If Messi were to be made available because he either wanted a change or Barca wanted to cash in.

Would you as a fan want our US owners to splash the cash. In the region of £70-90m. or would you accept that Chelski or Man s**tty or Scum Utd or the spendthrift Arsenal could have him for that kind of money.

Yes, we would have him in our team any day of the week, but would you seriously want to spend that kind of money on one player?? ?? ?? ?

Ed just a thought about the issue of carra becoming a future manager of liverpool. While i can't question his passion and love for the club its fans and its traditions i do worry about the playing style that carra wud look to implement as a manager giving his fondness for hoofing the ball. Do you think that carra wud be able to change his mentality as a manager to fit in with the pass nd move philosophy associated with liverpool?

For me he should stay at the club as a player as long as he is fit to play and then join the backroom staff at the lower levels and work his way up.

A) If he chooses too
B) If he has what it takes off the pitch

Ed seeing as eveyone is saying that Gerrard picking up a groin strain is not true as Kenny want to keep him fit for their hopes of a top four, Do you think that may be the same scenario in Martin Kelly supoosly picking up a Ankle injury?

Hha the Match was good ended up bunkin in Chelsea end ( To the left of our fans) with me mate. Was a great day out. In Kenny we Trust!

OldfieldLFC

{Editor Note: I would say so mate. We've won four in a row now and I'm sure Dalglish will want to keep the momentum going and field the same team most weeks. I certainly don't want players who have been good in our run to get injured in pointless friendlies.}

"I think you're missing the point Harry. There's no doubting we would all love to see Alonso playing instead of Lucas as he is a BETTER player. That doesn't make Lucas a bad player. Prime example is Kuyt. There's a dozen or more forwards who are better than Kuyt in the prem, yet we don't have them. Kuyt battles for us, and is given the credit by every LFC supporter for it. Yet Lucas does the same and gets slagged by the likes of yourself. The lad puts himself on the line knowing some of the biggest battles he's going to have are with LFC supporters. That is quite simply degrading what LFC supporters are all about.
Shmickles


And the point is that if we are going to improve next season we should be on the look out for another Alonso type player in midfield and Lucas reverts to the subs bench.
I'm sorry, I know he tries hard but he is not a top 4 player.
Kuyt is the same. Hopefully, next season he will become our backup striker."

i don't think we need an alonso type player! lucas is there to break up the opposition and allow gerrard and meireles to get forward! alonso was a great player, but a) he left a year and a half ago, we need to get over it and b) he wasn't exactly a defensive monster! with a player like him, gerrard and meireles would prob have 2 cover back more, and not be as dangerous going forward!

 

 

 

 

07 Feb 2011 15:31:05

Being the optimist I am. . I looked back over the last 5 seasons to see the number of points it has taken to finish fifth:
09/ 10 - 67
08/ 09 - 63
07/ 08 - 65
06/ 07 - 60
05/ 06 - 65
Creates an average of 64 points. To simply use the average and as our goal difference is so poor we would likely have to finish a point above the 5th place team, we would need 27 points from last available 36 to reach 65 and perhaps pip a Champions League spot. . . Doable, but incredibly tough

"Apparently Gerrard has no groin strain. It is just king kenny looking after our champions league hopes. Keeping Stevie gerrard out of capellos hands, and the club are not happy at Capello playing him 90 mins in the last England game when 45 mins was agreed against france.

Good on him. Like King Kenny always says hes there to do the best for the club. Top man

Gerrard for kaka n garey/ drenthe or gago (if lucas leaves in the summer)?? just a thought. just sayin ppl say dnt sell but wht if he wants to try and challenge himself as hes only ever played for us (liverpool) all his life. we owe him alot, that's why i wouldn't be bitter if he does go. but at the right price and under the right circumstances. so anyone agree? if not then post a deal that you would see as a good one.

Hello guys and girls. . .
Why is everyone having a go at anyone who played yesterday. . . I don't particularly like kuyt or lucas but I tell you what. . . Kenny has proved that the team as a whole is much better than the individual parts. .
Lucas was brilliant, Kuyt was tireless, johnson and kelly nullified everything chelsea threw at them. . Everyone played to a high level. . maxi may have done a ronny rosenthal but look how the team responded. . previous liverpool sides may have thrown it away after that. . but we just kept going and did not let it get to us. .
I have been watching the reds for many a year and I have got to say. . that was as easy an way win at chelsea that I have ever seen. . . I was watching it thinking "cant see them scoring" and so it proved. .
Can't wait for wigan on saturday. .

There seems to be (has been) a lot of anti-glen sentiment among users of this site. Why is this? For me he's a decent enough defender - hes not been rock solid this year but then he was playing in a poor defense in a poor team. He's strong quick, athletic, very skillful and very 2 footed. Also comes across as down to earth and professional. One of our major threats going forward. Lets get behind him.

I felt Glen improved when Hodgson said in the press that he wasnt playing at his international level . After that public announcement by hodgson i saw him back at his best and especially after dalglish came in charge.

I like him.

Hi all this is my first post, I'm from Cape town South Africa.
enjoyed the match yesterday, the formation we playing has breathed new life into our team, wing backs(Kelly, Johnson)were awesome!
caragher was on fire (was betting on him crocking nando for the rest of the season) nullifying him was even sweeter!
Raul is brilliant in the hole. .has some engine on him!
Kuyt and Lucas were immense (loved lucas diagonal pass into the path of Aurelio late on, giving him a chance on goal) he musta been knackered by then but still able to make that pass.

Kudos to Kenny and Clarke for doing something I don't see any other management team doing with the 3-5-2 formation!

I wouldn't say that Lucas isn't technically gifted, he is being played out of position as a defensive midfielder and would be better further forward. His pass completion was off the wall yesterday in a game that gave no space to anyone. He gives his heart and soul to the team day in and day out. He just needs encouragement which is what King Kenny is giving him and he is flourishing.

Dirk Kuyt is like a man reborn under KK he lead the line brilliantly yesterday, if you cannot see that then something is wrong. Kuyt cannot play right mid as he is not a right midfielder and never was, however when he has been asked to do a job there he has done it without complaining (even Stevie G complained about being played out there for a season) These players are what makes Liverpool great, without them the stars couldn't shine, it was amazing to see Kuyt tracking back just like Rushie used to, T****s hardly ever tacked back for us and didn't bother yesterday either.

Carroll is going to be brilliant for us and so is Suarez come on the reds

Gotta agree with HARRY there. . Both Lucas and Kuyt who i've slated in the past and have really impressed me this season are squad players. They are full of heart and passion and imbody what Liverpool Football Club are about but neither of them are gifted enough a player to put us where we need to be. Though it would be awesome to have them in our squad.

In reply to this little nugget of information:
"I have a little tip to heal ac a bit quicker, give him a spoonful of manuka honey every day, it has the best natural atbx than anything man made and is used for all types of ills, it has been used by the moaris for thousands of yrs and you can only get it from bees that feed on the manuka bush in nz, it is brill for ulcers and asthma, i have used it many times o hedgehogs that i rescue one particular one came in with bad strimmer injuries with half its side missing and we plastered it with the honey and it healed in no time with no infection, it comes in different strengths +5 to +25 the higher the number the more expensive, "

Please tell me we didn't just pay 35m for a hedgehog?

I find it quite strange that some "fans" can come on sites like this and consistently criticise their players. Yesterday Lucas and Dirk Kuyt were fantastic, they worked so hard, and never let their opposite number settle.
Lucas made 2 mistakes yesterday - losing the ball to Drogba and a cheap foul on Mikel at the edge of our area - apart from that he tackled, harried and worked the Chelsea midfield (his primary job) and passed very well.
Dirk gave John Terry a real going over, constantly running the channels, creating space for Gerrard and Meireles and holding the ball up. Without Dirk's run, Cech and Ivanovic would have dealt with Gerrard's cross and we wouldn't have scored from that position.
Yes they may not be the most technically gifted of players, but their managers have obviously see something in them to put them in their teams. The current Brazil manager has Lucas as his holding midfielder, and they're not exactly short on quality are they, and Dirk keeps out a whole host of players we have been linked with (Afellay, VDV and Elia) out of the Dutch national side. Lucas may not be a Xabi or a Mascherano - but he more than makes up for that in effort and desire.

Rooney & Ferdinand??
NO THANKS! !
Regardless of what we paid for Suarez and Carroll we will never turn into a Cash Splashing team.
Thats not what Liverpool are about and this will never happen under Kenny. We do not buy mercenaries and never will.
We will never turn into a Mancity who buy strikers we don't require.
We will never turn into a spurs who buy more wingers than we need.
And we won't see us go more than 20mil in the red for anyone anymore without letting some players go to cover the cost.
This game ain't about cash. Its about passion.
You all may have your long wishlists thinking that we're going to be splashing the cash in the summer.
Truth of the matter is that we do not need that many players. We have a good enough squad already.
Maxi/ Jovanovic, Poulsen/ Aurelio would possibly leave
2 young utility wingers, a left back and mayber a central midfielder may come in. But apart from the left back non of them would walk into the starting lineup.
and finally. .Gerrard will not ever consider leaving as long as Kenny is Manager. FACT

So the rumour is that Real Madrid are preparing a bid in the summer for £30m for Gerrard.

Do you think this would be too good an offer to turn down given his age? Stevie has been magnificent for us but there will come a day when he won't be able to deliver those awesome performances anymore. Should we let him go while his value is so great or keep hold of him and let him quietly fade away when the time comes.

get real, its newspaper gossip to keep the pages filled. gerrard will be 31 and not worth £30m. He is happy to stay at LFC for the rest of his career, and especially since KK has returned. Mourinho won't be at Real Madrid in the summer anyway.

You will be telling me you'd rather have lucas in the team than Gerrard next!
Gerrard loses the ball occasionally because he takes risks in an attempt to make things happen. Lucas's job is to break up play and give short passes to the better players in our team. He is still weak in the tackle and gives too many silly free kicks away on the edge of the area. Listen to the local pundits like Aldridge, Thompson and St John and they rate Lucas as a squad player at best.
If you think Lucas is a star player for us that is an acceptance of mediocrity. Alonso at the centre of midfield meant challenging for the premiership and champions league finals, Lucas there equals Europa league.

I think you're missing the point Harry. There's no doubting we would all love to see Alonso playing instead of Lucas as he is a BETTER player. That doesn't make Lucas a bad player. Prime example is Kuyt. There's a dozen or more forwards who are better than Kuyt in the prem, yet we don't have them. Kuyt battles for us, and is given the credit by every LFC supporter for it. Yet Lucas does the same and gets slagged by the likes of yourself. The lad puts himself on the line knowing some of the biggest battles he's going to have are with LFC supporters. That is quite simply degrading what LFC supporters are all about.

Just have a few question. .why stevie doesn't take the free kick and corner anymore?
is raul mereiless is better than him in taking free kick? {ed's note - that and Gerrard is a threat in the air.}

Personally I wouldn't let him take the corners or the penalties. Dirk is great with pens as he proved when Stevie was banned. And Stevie's corners have been, with very few exceptions, pretty poor; often they don't clear the first defender. He can cause far more trouble lurking on the edge of the box. Johnson delivers pretty well and would let Raul and Stevie stand off looking for a dropping ball or clearance. Free kicks they both could share - that's something for the training ground - don't forget Fabio is pretty sharp from the right hand side as well.

I Agree fully, LUCAS AND KUYT were played out of position by Rafa. Trying to convert them into something they were not. Thats why now that they have the freedom to play their natural game we are seeying them flourish.
RAFA was rigid and fixed in his ways wanting players to be very defensive minded and stick to their positions and not roam at all(apart from Gerrard)
It was like he was a father trying to coach the under 10 school team with discipline. Do as I say. . There was never any joy(even when we were winning).
Kenny on the other hand has given the players freedom to express themselves. They are treated like adults who are professional skillful footballers. You can see the joy and spirit of this team. The smiles and comoradery. .This is how football should be played. .

Why does lucas need to add more goals to become a great? he is a defensive midfielder and won't score many from that postion. Makele never scored many and he was a great in that position. Mascherano never scored that many either and was good in that position too.

lucas is not a def mid it was rafa that made him into that possition, that's why he has taken time to settle,
please do ur reserch, same as kuyt playin right wing when he is a center forward. look at his perfromances since kenny put him up top!(cheers rafa)
both these lads are what liverpool is all about, ok they are not the most technically gifted they are what every team needs playing for the badge, team and suporters! if either these were to leave we would be taking a step backwards, all the talk of kuyt leaveing in december made me sick can't believe liverpool fans would treat such a custodian with so little respect, i hope you are all eating your words now you have seen what he is all about!

If Kenny had been in charge from the start we would be level with City on points at least.
BUT!
Torres would not had left, and I would never have conceived that I actually prefer the look of the team without him. (& Chelski would have never had their new shevchenko)
I also feel that the impact made by kenny would not have been as astounding and as clearly as the way he pulled us away from the relegation zone to 6th.
Its more of a case now of "you tried the rest, now try the best".

I know Kenny says one game at a time but my brain does not quite work that way and I am already thinking about how many points we will most likely get over the next three months. I would say from here our run in looks pretty favourable, especially with the form Kenny has us in. The only challenging fixtures I see are these:
6 March - Man United @ home
10 April - Man City @ home
16 April - Arsenal @ Emirates
15 May - Tottenham @ home

As you can see most of these are at home. I can see us winning two of those and then maybe drawing two. So here is my math:
38 points we currently have
+ 8 pts from the above fixtures
+ 24 points from the 8 other fixtures (8 X 3 = 24)
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
70 points

Do we think that is enough for the fourth spot? Only time will tell I guess but I think we have reason to be optimistic.
Anfield Rapstar


Have been thinking along the same lines as you mate, and 70 pts might just be enough for 4th. Looking at the last few seasons the number of points for the team who finished fourth have been; 70, 72, 76, 68, 67 & 61. That's an average of 69, (and yes I decided that was a good enough number to stop at lol). Also, if you take the points both Chelsea & Spurs are on at the moment, and divide it by the 25 matches played, then with their current average of 1.76 pts/ match they could end up on +/ - 67 pts after 38 games. Gonna be really interesting. .

Ed! I m sorry bt u talkin like typical accounts professional. . valuation is nt done on current value but future cash flows which we are tryin to project nd it includes lots of assumptions. .

wat my point was tht in valuation of football club one thing is nt looked at is intangible value. . Forbes do come out with list on valuation of football club every year bt they arrive at tangible value (as it is very difficult to derive intangible value). . .we are trying to arrive at intangible value for football clubs nd in doing so fanbase is the most important thing to be looked at. . .

"Reina will leave Anfield (In six years time when his contract expires) mainly because he has stated it numerous of times, his wife and kids are settled on Merseyside"

Didnt somebody else say that last year, I think it was Reina's neighbour Fernando! !

Man Utd will stick in a decent offer for him in the summer, which will be turned down on the spot!

I was looking at the table this morning and wondering what if kenny had been in charge all season.
You could easily add 10 points on to our total and we would be right up there. If only roy didn't get the job.
Couple of good additions in the summer and I can't see any reason why we can't win the title. Maybe no champs league next season would be a good thing then we can go all out for the league.

Depth of a squad does not only mean how many players you have. It also refers to how flexible you are in your tactic. Can you change your formation to suit the situation and if so. Do you have the players available to fit that formation.
That is why we will still go for wingers in the summer. Even though we are playing with wingbacks. We are not going to be playing the same formation week in and week out. It will all depend on which team we are up against. If we are up against slow full backs, i'm sure Clarke Kenny will set the team up with wingers. Having different kinds of players will enable us to adapt. If we spend big money on a winger that does not mean we gotta change our tactics to suit him. . It just means we have the option to change things if the need arises.
THATS DEPTH.

Hi Ed, I understand everyone being happy about Lucas' performance cos to be honest its always a good performance if he doesn't directly cost us a goal!. .But lets not get carried away, we all know we need strengthening in the summer, and are we really saying we'd rather have Lucas than Ever Banega?, or Charlie Adam?, or even that Tiote lad from Newcastle?. . And do you think Shelvey was just rested?. .cos in my opinion he is DEFO good enough to one day replace SG! ! . . And Ed, I'm trying to work out who we'd prefer on the wings next season. .Marko Marin. .Or that Pablo Hernandez from Valencia? ?. .Think there both quality and realistic possibilities. . Unlike wishing we were in for someone like Alexis Sanchez! .

Lay off lucas, he is turned in to a qaulity midfielder, he made one bad pass yesterday, i for one was one of those supporter who wanted him out/ sold , lucas has made me eat humble pie with his displays this season and last season, his pass rate is amazing and he is not afraid to get stuck in to a tackle

liverpool are no longer a 2 man team any more , torres leaving was a blessing in disguise which has made liverpool a stronger unit, and with KING KENNY leading from the front and the 12th man pushing them fowards we will be back on top soon

They say never go back. . I WOULD NEVER EVER WANT TO GO BACK TO RAFA!
Kenny would want to keep it tight at the back so i see the 3 CB's to continue with kelly and Johnson as wingbacks.
Lucas in the hole as a deep lying play maker and Gerrard in a central mid role and Raul slightly more advanced.
Suarez will occassional drift onto the left flank and Raul will occassionally drift onto the right with the wingbacks overlapping.
Raul and Suarez would be able to pick up any of Carrolls layoffs or knockdowns.
Gerrard would lurk outside the area and pick up any loose balls and maintain the pressure.

Now that was a long time ago, & I didn't get to see it on MOTD. From what I can remember, Rosenthal's was more the centre of the goal & was actually easier than Maxi's! So I think Rosenthal still holds the cup for the worst miss ever in a Liverpool shirt with Maxi running him a close second!

It is between Liverpool and United, certainly, but impossible to say which one is higher. I mean lots of people around the world have United or Liverpool as a second team, do they get counted?}


Second choice do get counted but gets lesser probabbility. . see I am askin this coz we r doing a case study and valuing Liverpool and why there is so much difference in valuation compared to Man Utd (300mn vs 1.5 bn). . .nd fanbase matters a lot coz of merchandise sale. . broadcasting rights (for eg. all Liverpool are broadcasted due to huge fan following). . tickets sales (in case capacity increases to 60,000 will seats get filled up). . .etc

The list we got places Liverpool in 4th position (behind Real Madrid, Man Utd, Barcelona) but I m not sure about the list which is y I asked. .

Hi, I have posted about 4 times on here and every single one has been correct.

I work for a finance company. Im not mentioning the name of the company but you canf ind us out with some digging on the internet with the links to LFC.

The redvelopment of Anfield is going to be pushed for definate. the team that are dealing with it have it on high priority to keep it Anfield apperently the owners "want the club to keep its soul" the original plans are to take the stadium up to 59, 999 capacity anything over 60, 00 will need a direct link through the city and train station by doing this they will be probably adding an extra 300-500 million (my estimation not theres)

Also hearing rumours of one the main ways around the spending cap is Owners are going to be sponsoring the club (i.e man city, Man utd, Chelsea, )

{Editor's Note: You would have thought that working for a financial company you would have at least a basic grasp of the Financial Fair Play rules - there is no spending cap for a start. Secondly, provisions have already been made within the FFP rules for synthetic sponsorship of a club.}

WHAT A DIFFERENCE
They say never go back - what a load of old tosh! Kenny has turned what was an array of massively under performing international players into a strong unit. By utilising his man management skills and Clark's tactical nous they are starting to unlock the squad's true potential. The counter attacking play is fluid and there is a clear emphasis on retaining possession - reminiscent of 2nd half of 2008/ 2009. The difference I would say is obviously formation but also I think we go forward with more bodies and even more freedom than in 2008/ 2009. The slight worry is that Raul will not score every game as he is not a striker and Kuyt albeit effective in retaining the ball and laying off, is not particularly adept at creating space for himself to shoot due to a lack of pace and guile, however I believe Suarez will work off him really well and create all sorts of openings and chances for both himself and the team. The only issue then is Raul will have to move further back which may limit his chances of getting into the box but with the freedom the players seem to now have maybe this will not be the case. Switching back to 4-2-3-1 maybe the answer to accommodate both Raul and Suarez in the 3 behind Kuyt (or Carroll once fit) but to be honest the 3-2-3-1-1 is working to great effect home and away so I believe we should stick with it - it seems to work well against both 4-4-2 and 4-3-3, as it allows Johnson and Kelly to bomb forward and with their energy, pace and crossing abilities they generally do a better job in wide areas than Maxi and Kuyt at attacking and defending. Furthermore with Lucas in the "Mascherano role" it gives Stevie freedom to get forward, link up play and also get in wide areas to send quality crosses into the box. I also can't see anyone getting past Skrtel Carra and Agger during open play. All in all the squad strengths are being maximised by the new formation and tactics employed which is refreshing to see - can't wait for Wigan, will Suarez hit his first red hat trick?!

The mancs on the 6th march. . Could Carroll be back for that Ed? {ed's note - possible mate, hard to give a date with any certainty as it is in an area with low blood flow.

But he is due back to training at the end of the month.}

And that is why Lucas Leiva is such a good player. our Man of the Match yet again. Wake up and realise this everybody.

The only time he is man of the match is in your dreams! Carra, Gerrard, Meireles, Kelly and even Skrtel had better games.
Lucas giving the ball away again led to Chelsea's only decent chance of the match.
- - - - - - - - - -
You're looking through rose coloured glasses if you think Gerrard played better than Lucas yesterday mate. Apart from the time Drogba pinched the ball from him ( and by the way he shouldn't have been given the ball there in the first place) that led to chance, Lucas was brilliant for us. I personally think Carra was MOTM, but without Lucas stopping anything coming into the feet of Torres and Drogba and pressing what was ahead, the likes of Raul, Stevie, Maxi, Kelly and Glen wouldn't have had there freedom.
What Kenny is trying to create still has opposition. People like you.

I must confess, I have never been a fan of Lucas and has always wanted him out. Perhaps its cos he never really stood out in Rafa's system. He was asked to be much more of a one dimentional player with fixed responsibilities and he never really excelled at it.
Under hodgson he was given more responsibility and now under Kenny he's given freedom to move which is why he's more comfortable and is playing a more natural game.
I've been very impressed with him this season especially his ala Kuyt work rate. . (definately removed off my outbound tranfer wishlist)
Johnson is going to prove a handful at leftback in games to come. It seems like he's not one to bang in the crosses but rather cut inside like an inside forward and take a shot on goal. Would be even more Dangerous once Suarez is in the team. Then they wouldn't know whether he's going to take the shot or play it through to Suarez once he cuts inside.

Why does lucas need to add more goals to become a great? he is a defensive midfielder and won't score many from that postion. Makele never scored many and he was a great in that position. Mascherano never scored that many either and was good in that position too.

It don't matter what lucas does on the pitch some reds fans will never admit they are wrong. he was immense yesterday, yes he give the ball away once which they broke from, but am sure every player on the pitch give the ball away at some point yesterday. . give the lad a break and some credit where its due. .

Torres (Athletico Madrid 2001-2007) 0 trophies
After he left to liverpool, Atheltico won the europa league.

An omen perhaps?

And that is why Lucas Leiva is such a good player. our Man of the Match yet again. Wake up and realise this everybody.

The only time he is man of the match is in your dreams! Carra, Gerrard, Meireles, Kelly and even Skrtel had better games.
Lucas giving the ball away again led to Chelsea's only decent chance of the match.
-----------------
actually mate agger and maxi gave the ball away in silly positions for chelsea's two chances lucas played well with disipline and showed some good great passing/ play at times. still not MOTM

Ed your not giving money to other are you? Don't we get a percentage of gate receipt? It's not just cup games is it? Plus you don't know what your missing away games are better for Liverpool atmosphere, specially in perm, perm games atmosphere is gone at anfield. {ed's note - I never knew that in the past though, when I was able to go to the matches. I always thought, until recently, that clubs only got a cut of the gate receipts in the cup, so I would always turn the tickets down, rather than give my money to some other club. Nowadays work doesn't often allow me the chance to go to games, the spare time I do get tends to be filled by stuff my daughter wants to do!}

Great performance last night and a great win but with a possible sting in the tail. . . . . .unlikely that Chelski (or the spuds for that matter )can stop the mancs winning the EPL now. . . which leaves Arsenal and ManCity. Who would you prefer? Not sure about any of them myself. . . . , I'd go for Arsenal at a push. Still we could make top 4 ourselves now IF we win most of our remaining games. . we'd have to to get to ~70 ponts or thereabouts. The way we are playing this is not impossible!

I can not see anyone taking the title from manure's grasp, but to be truthful last season I was dreading them get that title to over take our record, for some reason I can see them winning this season but not as fearful as was last season, maybe it's deep down I know it's only matter of time before we get it back now, the king to stay on, iv feelings that it's going to shirt lived there record, af gone soon as he gets tittle to take over ours. King kenny will keep job for least 5 years and he will get tittle back. I'll end on a note that will have many dreaming of tonight. Liverpool to get 4th at expense ov chelski! !

couldnt agree more bout the fact LFC fans need to give this lad time to show his true quality. . i wouldn't go as far as saying MOTM but this lad deserves more credit than wot he gets. . . after Gerrard and Carra he's the nxt in line for most passion for the club and plays for the Badge. . He loves liverpool and wants nothing more than for the LFC fans to accept him as a liverpool player! i know KK has massive ambition for the lad and KK see's what he's got we all should get behind him! am not sayin he's the finished article but he's got bangs of potential and he's stilll very young! u don't captain the Brazil U21's at a mayor tournament for no reason. . . the tide is finally turning i just wish ppl gave the lad more credit wen its deserved instead of getting on his back all the time! !

The King has come in and gotten rid of the rigid tactical mentality of building a team around your best player/ s. Of creating a spine in a team.
His tactics has no spine. Its fluid, flexible, shape altering.
In the past we've tried to build a tactic around Torres, or build a tactic around Stevie G.
I'm glad that we no longer have that mentality.
The Rigidness is gone. . Pass & Move. The opposition does not know who to mark, and end up running around like headless chickens. (Was Lampard even playing yesterday?)
We play much better without a galactico kind of player in the squad. One who everyone feels is an automatic choice cos of his name or pricetag. One who's place in the team comes ahead of the best tactics to play against any particular opposition.
The team has a tighter feel. Everyone seems closer and more like a team rather than a bunch of individuals.
This can only reap positive results.

Would the win against chelski been as sweet if Torres was had not left?
Would we have dominated chelski as much if we had Torres running around up front instead of Kuyt? (would kenny have left Torres on the bench?)
EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON
As much as I loved having a striker with the ability of Torres in our team i do not miss him at all. I actually think we are a much stronger "TEAM" without him. Much more passionate and driven.
Even Stevie G does not stick out as an individual anymore. He's part of a team.

Was wondering if Woy never took us over and Kenny was given the job since the summer we'd have 60 points now.

This is very hypothetical and based on our 6 league games with Kenny 4 wins 1 draw and 1 lose.

Obviousily give 60 points would be give a take a lose or two.

Hi, I have posted about 4 times on here and every single one has been correct.

I work for a finance company. Im not mentioning the name of the company but you canf ind us out with some digging on the internet with the links to LFC.

The redvelopment of Anfield is going to be pushed for definate. the team that are dealing with it have it on high priority to keep it Anfield apperently the owners "want the club to keep its soul" the original plans are to take the stadium up to 59, 999 capacity anything over 60, 00 will need a direct link through the city and train station by doing this they will be probably adding an extra 300-500 million (my estimation not theres)

Also hearing rumours of one the main ways around the spending cap is Owners are going to be sponsoring the club (i.e man city, Man utd, Chelsea, )

{Editor's Note: You would have thought that working for a financial company you would have at least a basic grasp of the Financial Fair Play rules - there is no spending cap for a start. Secondly, provisions have already been made within the FFP rules for synthetic sponsorship of a club.}

With ref to my last posting about Fabregas. The hotel is in Liverpool, and the overheard conversation was from a scout/ agent. She left the Hilton very quickly could possibly be about the Torres deal. she was paid £37,000 fortitude deal and spoke to our waitress in SPanish, look for fabregas deal in papers very soon as it sounded like shewas on the phone to a journalist

 

 

 

 

07 Feb 2011 09:10:29

I know for a fact that Torres did have his own strength and conditioning coach working with him regularly at LFC. I was away with a friend of mine who knows the guy. When the transfer went through they had a text conversation about whether the personal trainer (Jose I think his name is), would be moving to London to continue working with Torres.

SIR KENNY DALGLISH. . THE KING
Its very hard to see us conceding a goal anytime soon. . Our defence is rock solid. (Fantasy Managers Alert) I bet we concede no more than 5 goals for the balance of the season & it would probably be penalties.
I don't see much need for investment in the defensive department accept for a left back(with Aurelio leaving & Johnson able to play on either flank)
Wilson is there as an understudy to Carra and if he fails I can only see us bringing in another CB if the Greek leaves.
Cole & Jovanovic out in the summer(with two young utility wingers coming in - lower wages)
Other than that the team does not need much tweaking & we will have a team with depth that could change to suit any formation the King & Clarke Kent(superman) feels would get the 3 points on the day. 3-5-2 / 4-4-2/ 4-3-3/ 3-4-2-1 (Whatever it may be-we have such a fluid movement)
Adam may be brought in as an understudy to Gerrard but that would depend on Shelvey who has until the end of the season to convince the King whether or not he can fit that bill himself. (I don't see Aquilani coming back)
There's no need to fix something that's not broken so there won't be too many big signings coming in who expect to be in the starting lineup. (Depth and versatility is the title of our summer shopping list)
The present looks bright-the future is blinding. .

Not much rumours going around. .
Heres a question - Our next league game is This Saturday at Home to Wigan, and then closer to the end of the month, on the 26th, we are away to the hammers. .

I would just like to know if you think maybe we may see Andy Carrol for the first time in the game at west ham? Or what is the likelihood?

Thanks

Morning ED

There is a man behind the scenes who deserves just as much credit as our beloved KK.He was a blue but now is a RED Steve Clarke.

This TEAM has the belief and confidence the play from the back (no long balls) something that was sadly lacking in the first half of the season and something that ultimately led to Roy Hodgson's departure.

We have a long way to go on our journey to get back to challenging for major honours on all fronts, but the signs are encouraging

Please do not wish for wish for Kjaer of Wolfsburg. I'm from Denmark and i'v seen him play many games, he's slow, not the biggest, and not very good in the air. Does he sound like a good investment, no!
He's was just sold to the highest bidder in the summer, and that happened to be McLaren, like he knows to build a team?
So no more Kjaer rumours please!

 

 

07 Feb 2011 05:35:31

For those who keep suggesting Honda, get over him. We're in the market for the best players, not someone we can use for marketing purposes. He is nowhere near good enough for LFC. I think the only reason he was ever mentioned was because his agent was pimping him out and claimed we wanted him.

Players we should be talking about are Hazard, Coentrao, Mata, Navas, Aguero. We want players who are much better then what we already have.

Our beloved club is in deep trouble for marketing and selling an expired product at an unbelievable price to a dumb russian billionaire (dn't know if he still is coz he's been robbed by us). he took the pain to check the expiry date six days after buying and after 66 mins of consumption. he has lodged a complaint against us for having bankrupt him by selling him carp which he was made to believe (by us) was gold. what has made him more furious is that he was knocked out after consuming the expired product for around 1 hour. we would like to apologize to him and promise to sell him products not already expired (we do have a few). he has agreed but demanded that our product be printed upon with the "Maximum Retail Price" tag.

that's just for us to celebrate our victory.hail King Kenny.you are definitely the best.We love you and Lfc.

I'll tell you tomorrow mate :)
But i can honestly say i haven't slept well since the summer so i assume it's linked!
Just had a frightening thought:
Kenny has brought the best out of all the underperforming players so far more or less.
When Carroll, Suarez & Cole are back & if he (Kenny) can bring the best out of them, oh my god we are going to be some force to be reckoned with. Cole would be like a January window signing. Just saw the Agger hand off / forearm smash again - what a beauty!

Here's my take on the possibility of 4th place.

In the last 5 years, an average of appx 71 points has been enough to come 4th. (Between 67 and 74 points)

We have 38 points and (3 x 12) 36 points to play for (Total possible = 74)

So, worst (best!?) case scenario, we have to win every game and at the other end of the scale we can afford to drop up to 7 points. We also need to hope Spurs/ Chelsea or even City have a bit of a bad run. (we are due to play both)

So as Bond would say. "Nothing is impossible, only mathematically improbable!"

But with Kenny in town? Watch this space. .

Apparently Gerrard has no groin strain. It is just king kenny looking after our champions league hopes. Keeping Stevie gerrard out of capellos hands, and the club are not happy at Capello playing him 90 mins in the last England game when 45 mins was agreed against france.

Good on him. Like King Kenny always says hes there to do the best for the club. Top man

MURPHY

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Agreed lad!
There is no way he's done his groin.
He sprinted for the ball in the 94th minute in Chelsea's left corner of the pitch next to our fans.
No limp, no hobble!
Kenny is doing what the previous managers should have done more often - Love the man, i really do!

I am a Liverpool supporter and would like to add a more balanced view of Sundays game. Firstly Chelsea have a great team who up until recently had lost their way a little. Liverpool have also been struggling since the start of the season, but the too have improved recently.

If there had been no transfers, there is no doubt that Chelsea would probably have beaten Liverpool on Sunday. Torres has been sulking recently, and was not putting in what we up north call 'a full shift' and was the fundamental cause of the poor team spirit prevalent in the LFC camp in December. So yes you would have beaten us probably.

You have bought a world class striker in Torres, but as we all know, he is injury prone and definitely does not like being tackled. Rest assured, the manner in which he left LFC has made no friends with the liverpool team or supporters he left behind and there will be a few very strong challenges going in.

He will upset the balance of your team for a few weeks, but he is class, and eventually he will come good.

Suarez on the other hand is awesome and slotted immediately into LFCs recent style of controlled pass and move play. His first touch is sublime and he will terrorise Chelseas defence. King Kenny is a very astute and experienced manager, and will come up with a few surprises in his selection and game plan.

I have a lot more confidence now that the mood in the LFC camp has improved and honestly believe that we can now give you a good game. . . . .who knows . . .we may just surprise Chelsea and old red nose up in Manchester ?

**PLEASE PUT ON ANYWHERE** can i just say a massive thankyou to the eds and to all of you who post your rumours on this site. I started logging onto this site in the summer and it has now become part of my bedtime ritual. kids bed, glass of water, check this site, go for a smoke, bed! result today fantastic, but lets not be too harsh on torres! he gave us some fantastic memories. i met the lad and he made a very spcial day in my life all the more spcial by being there and being as nice and accomodating as he was. he has made the biggest mistake of his career and to be honest i think after today he probably knows it, liverpool fc are much more than a results and position football club. We are actually a CLUB! were owners, managers, staff, players and fans are as one not like the stupid soft money mad southern cockney bells are! !

Ed? Anyone?

Kenny, Bill then Bob for me Kev.

Kenny the player, the manager and most importantly Kenny the man. He more than Shankly in my opinion embodies what LFC is all about. His success as a player, his success as a manager, his demeanour and strength as a person during our darkest hour.

Makes him for me the greatest person ever to walk the corridors at Anfield.

I agree with both opinions even though they're slightly different.
Can see why Kenny is #1 on some peoples list for all the reasons Blair has listed above. The only reason he's not yet #1 for me is because he is still current.
If things went belly up between now & the end of the season for example. I don't believe for a second it's gonna happen but that's my main reason for him being #2 / #3 right now. If he can win a major trophy again with us or get us back near the top before retirement then he becomes numero uno for me! Shanks is my #1 for setting the standard & i suppose building the LFC family & legacy.
Cheers,
Irish Kev.

Just a reply to the irish glory hunters. Dont know if john aldridge or ray houghton can be classified as irish. although they played for ireland it was during jack charltons reign and irish grannies were coming out of the woodwork. Mark lawrenson as well maybe not as sure. Great players but british. I think there was some trouble about it

And your point is? ?

Then John Barnes wasn't English?
So what about where they this, that or the other.
They played for Ireland by their own will.
Therefore they are classified as Irish footballers.
Lawrenson is Irish one minute & English the next but he's an exception.

Eds, do you not think it's time Danny Wilson gets his shot at the big time
Very young with massive potential
Can only improve with match experience, he's even in the national squad
Great site by the way!

Dannythered {ed's note - I would like to see him in the team or at least on the bench ahead of Kyrgiakos. But Kenny knows best, I trust in him to do what is right.}

Everyone did their job today but Lucas did his better than anyone. Who i thought should have got MOTM. To be fair can anyone pick a better player for us all season? This kid as you can see has came on leaps and bounds since Mascherano left, and stepped up to the plate.

I agree, but also think Kelly and Raul have been awesome this season. Obviously Raul has been better since Kenny has put him where he belongs, but think he still put in some good shifts when out of position. Those three are my pick so far - LIVERPRES

Ed, macca, anyone question for debate. If kenny never resigned when he did how do you think the 90's would have gone? Still manu dominance? Thanks Tom

Not a hope Tom,
Personally i think we'd have won another 7 or 8 league titles. We'd be out of sight now.
Kenny winning with Blackburn only proves this i think.
The man is now for me turning into the greatest legend in our history. If he takes us back to the top of the league in the next few seasons then he becomes the greatest in our history - if not, he still remains in my top 3 easily, maybe even top 2. There is nobody out there to come close to Shanks, Paisley & Kenny in my LFC top 3! Kenny is really close now to being top.
Anyone want to share their top 3 LFC legend's list in order? Interested to know?!
Ed? Anyone?

Great result boys. Had money on us winning 2 - 0 so Maxi owes me one! I noticed after the final whistle, Kenny went straight to Steve Clarke and embraced him. They are obviously an amazing combination of tactics, spirit, motivation and reading the game. Eds, who was responsible for bringing Steve Clarke in? LIVERPRES {ed's note - I believe it was Dalglish who requested him.}
*********************************

Thanks mate, that's what I thought but wasn't certain - he just can't seem to do any wrong at the moment can he? The owners nust be thrilled he took the role on. It is definitely a new dawn at the club. I'm not caught up in the whole "if he was in from the start. . " speculation - I think the owners did the right thing and gave Roy the respect he deserved, and acted swiftly when he had lost the fans and players. I am excited about what this season still holds, but am more excited about the next two or three years - big things ahead I thinks - I hope when they redevelop Anfield they build a bigger trophy cabinet! LIVERPRES
