{Ed005's Note - Kenny Dalglish is our greatest ever player. And stop being so gullable and listening to this media thing about Gerrard being a divine hero.}

its debatable who is our best player, and im not gullable, im just stating that im not going to immediatly dislike gerrard because of your opinion. we will agreee to dissagree.

J.B {Ed005's Note -I don't recall saying that you, or anyone else for that matter, must dislike Gerrard because of my opinion of him. I'm just stating that there's more to Gerrard than this media farce that you have brought in to. Do have the manners to read in future instead of having me repeat myself.}

Gerrard leaving would not be the end of the world.

He is beginning to show his age and has become prone to injury.

He also seems to have lost some of the influence he used to have on games. This could be due to age or maby due to an unhappyness of being at a club that at the momment are not reaching his trophy ambitions.

Possibility of 30 million would be a useful sum of money to invest in a new midfield.

With the likelyhood of Reina also leaving, a sum of money in the region of 25 million will be sufficient to sign a decent new keeper along with having surplus cash to invest in other positions of the field.

Leighton Baines is joining Liverpool this summer with Eccleston swopping sides, post below says Rodwell and Spearing swopping with cash also. First part is correct but iv been told that Rodwell is off to United, Also true Moyes is leaving and apparently it maybe to Blackburn but i don't know anything about who they want to replace. Everton really struggling to cover their costs so its worrying times for the blues!

Also i don't buy any of this Gerrard leaving drivvel, going nowhere.

I no a lot of people out there seem to suck up to the eds. but im not going to take the eds word that gerrard thinks hes bigger than the club or any of that nonsence, he has carried us for 7 or 8 years. he is our greatest ever player, maybe not as good as he was now, but we owe it to him to stick by him, hes stuck by this club through everything,
and to be honest, i don't really care wat anyone who disagrees with me has to say, iv said my bit, . anybody agree?

Seriously am I dreaming reading.these comments about gerrard. That man is Liverpool to even think about him leaving is mad, we don't need the money we need Steve andJ amie teaching youngsters the Liverpool way, what it means to wear the red shirt. To hear this talk on the site is mental. A better team and gerrard will regain some form and have some people eating a nice big.peice of spouse pie. Just my opinion
Quigz23 {Ed005's Note - I hope he doesn't act as a mentor for our young lads in all honesty - we don't want them thinking they are bigger than the club, holding the club to ransom. Kenny Dalglish - a true Mr.Liverpool, will be the perfect mentor.}

No one On hear knows what the hell there talking about giving all these long lists of Players going hardly any will go you can't expect that many changes to work for god sake an half the players people are listing are good so why get rid of them for mostly average players and mostly foreign and are playing in rubbish leagues so they look good and Gerrard is going know where he is to old for any team to pay what Liverpool value him and he would never leave Liverpool and what team would really want him city have know need for him real Madrid don't need him he won't move to Italy or Germany so he will be staying put. I know a lot of people will put that they disagree are thick and not true Liverpool supporters but the people who believe have some sort of general understanding of football. {Ed005's Note - Before you suggest people are thick you should check your own grammar, or perhaps use spell check before posting.}

Steven gerrard, Where do i start lets start with the incredible service he has and is giving the club, Could he have walked into any club in world football and in my mind still could defo without a doubt. the status and reputation he has, wasnt giving to him freely, it was earned those legs of his have been overworked for quite a few years now and ive noticed his groins have been injured a lot recently hes carried us for so long some of you don't seem to remember that its a burden that he will do to the end even if there was no new players arriving. But their will be and quality to, No more scraping the barrel for a gem in the deadwood our new owners mean buisness Kenny is back and what a great job and hope he has put back in our hearts. we our all singing of the same page once more, kenny will bring in quality hes no fool, I believe once he has done that stevie will be back no more worring about trying to cover for to many below par players gerrard has been a shadow of himself recently the team has been a shadow of itself for the best part of 20 years but i can see that golden sky alls we need is the sweet silver song of a lark and i believe in my heart its coming i can sense the fear factor coming back amongst our rivals. ynwa gary belfast

Hi ed, re stevie, could we use the analogy that hes gone from guy gibson to corporal jones, still thinks he can work it up em but body is saying differently, not slagging sg off he will always be my hero, ley him play central and let the young uns run around, like a young bull said to his dad, "shall we run down to the bottom field and have sex with a cow, the dad said no son, lets walk down and have sex with them all", jimmybosun,

Where is everyone getting all these Gerrard rumours from?

If it's not on skysports, I don't believe it. Caught offside is the most unreliable website on the internet, so don't take their word for anything.

If he leaves, then I can't fault him. It's amazing he has put up with so much for so long, having been surrounded with shockingly bad foreign twits.

If he is leaving, I wonder where he off to? I imagine either Chavski or abroad ie Madrid.

£25m for a 30-odd year old is a good deal, though. You have served us too well Stevie, if you're off, then I wish you all the best elsewhere.

Let's not have any of that shirt burning bollocks, he has been legendary for us and I can't fault him for wanting out. I bet at times he has felt obligated to remain here, and given his weaker performances of late, maybe the ship has left the harbour at last. So to speak.

I have respect for any decision he makes.

 

 

 

 

08 Mar 2011 22:46:59
I think in the long term maybe suso could slot in nicely in there?
But I'm not sure if he likes to deeper or more on the left.

I agree about martinez, he's going to be top, top class.
My first choice would be goetze of dortmund. Considering he's only 18 I reckon this boy could be quality
The only other two I could think would be nuri sahin or lavezzi. I've not seen too much of sahin, only a couple of games where his passing looked quality.
I was really impressesed with lavezzi when he played against us at anfield, reminded a little of suarez!

I was considering these three as gerrards replacement for when he plays in the hole behind the front line.
What would you think of these three ed? This is in reply to my last post!

Thanks
Stu.

 

 

 

 

08 Mar 2011 22:47:11
{Ed001's Note - for me it would be Javi Martinez, he is going to be a special player I think. Though there are a lot of others who I like, such as Banega, a few young German players, even bring Alonso back, maybe an exchange deal would be best for everyone? What do you think? Anyone I forget to mention?}

Yes Cesc Fabregas, I'm sure Wenga would gladly sell him to us, Say 10mill plus Poulson

Apparently 'scouse' is a Norwegian soup or stew, originally called 'lobscouse'.

It was adopted to the region of Liverpool after Norwegians came in at the docks with this 'lobscouse', it became popular and the term was coined from there.

Well I never

How many of you knew that?

Agree/ believable = yes
Disagree/ unbelievable = no

Ed, by no means do i mean any offense, but people on here hang on ur every word, and many times take your opinion as fact. i can't comment on what steven gerrard is like as a person as i don't know him. this site at times annoys the hell out of me. 12 months ago it was get rafa out, then it was get roy out, then it was come back rafa! a few weeks ago it was carra who had to go and now gerrard? can you blame anyone who wants to be at the highest level they can acheive? chelsea turned many players heads when roman came yet he still wheres red. . does torres? no one is bigger than the club, but does a johnny foriegner no the traditions the history like the two local lads? to see players like voronin, nunez, kromkamp josemi etc coming to the club who had just won the champions league instead of big names, of course the only way liverpool could convince him to stay was to offer him mega money. gerrard, a dickhead or not, has given his all for the club, and that should never be put in to question, and financially has been rewarded. if he goes then good luck to him, but for people to turn on him because his performances are not the same as 3 years ago, at 27 when he hit his prime, is disgusting. 45000 of us was singing his name when he scored a hat trick against napoli a few months ago? to many fickle fans on here tonignt! give it a month, and you will all be loving him, then it will be carrolls turn or suarez should be shown the door because he hit the post or sumit saft like that! !

On the Gerrard debate, I hope he stays for one more year, And we win the League next year, Id love to see Stevie lift the Premiership trophy, Im not ashamed to say that Stevie is my idol, Id probably cry if he got his trophy at last, And id be devastated if he left in summer and we went on to win the league without him, So i say give him 1 more year, Then let him go get a tan with the Premiership medal FINALLY to his collection, What do you all think.

Steven Gerrard your going to leave Liverpool as the best we've ever had (sorry KK)

08 Mar 2011 22:36:36
Have we had a single summer in the last 6 years when it wasn't rumoured that Gerrard was going to leave?

The only big league where players his age have a good chance of succeeding is Italy & I just don't see him going to any club there.

The only other possibility is Real Madrid if Mourinho stays and thinks he could help win everything in one season like he did with older players at Inter. Other then that, who is going to pay 20m for a 30+ player on the decline?

I say Gerrard stays & maybe takes a more back seat role rather then being the focal player (if that's possible).

 

 

 

 

08 Mar 2011 22:29:49
All this talk of players wanting to leave because they want cl, if you want to play against Spanish or German teams every week just feck off to Spain and Germany, if not wear the red with pride, simples,

We should get that Messi feller, he seems quite good.

The only problem with that is Johnson is unproven at right mid right now. He has played right, left & centre back (for West Ham).

It's definitely worth trying sometime (maybe in a pre - season match or two?) but just because it worked for Bale doesn't mean it'll work for Glen Johnson. But it is worth a go as i say - why not?! For all we know maybe they've already tested it out in training, but the only way to know for sure is in a proper match i guess.

Personally i'd prefer an out & out winger with a little pace & excellent cross / final ball (for to make best use of Carroll).

But that's just my opinion mate!

Cheers,

Irish Kev.
. . . . . .
Johnson was playing right wing at Portsmouth for the last part of the season if I'm not mistaken.
He did fine.

LAVERS
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
It's a fair point LAVERS absolutely but i don't want him to just do fine.
He's playing outstanding right now so why fix whats not broken? We could just bring in a proven winger & leave Johnson well enough alone where he is for now.
Just hope its not McGeady as he's great at taking players on but his final ball has been awful whenever i have watched him play the better teams (Scottish League is clearly nowhere near EPL level) - one of the most exciting players to watch until he tries to pass or cross. Just my opinion as i said though!
Cheers,
Irish Kev.

If Gerrard was a tosser behind the scenes, then he had every right too be as he was surrounded with avg foreign french & spanish players with no heart and managers who had no clue. I thank god we had Stevie & Carra through this all. If your blood isn't red, get off the bus! And that is how it should be. We don't want any more Torres types! !

 

 

 

 

08 Mar 2011 22:15:55
Just on the gerrard debate. . tbh I haven't seen him play cosistantly well for 2 years now and if we are talking revoloution why not start with him. .he's been our leader for the past decade on the pitch and is a true legend. but i do think the burden of carrying us over the years has made him burn out quickly. I can think of quite a few players around europe that could fill his boots and who would begrudge him a bit of a sun tan and a nice few years abroad.
Now Reina at his prime. . now that is a tough void to fill. .

Ed your thoughts on our skipper pls. {Ed001's Note - I think he needs to leave for everyone's sake, the club has been built around him and that is no way to win league trophies. It takes 11 players on the pitch, not one man and 10 extras. I think it is too late to change how he is and how he is seen, he could get himself a nice few years in the sun and we could use the money to create a team.}

 

 

 

 

08 Mar 2011 22:16:55
Regarding the Gerrard debate and in particular the Ed001's comments on the way he has been coached over the years.


Totally agree with the Ed that Rafa, when he joined the club, could not believe the 'wasted effort' that Gerrard put in running here, there and everywhere and set about over the next couple of years, honing him in and telling when to make runs and when to save himself.


That worked well several years ago as i think we'll all agree Gerrard in 06, 07 and 08 was simply outstanding.


However it is not serving Gerrard at all now. His fall from the high echelons of grace has been nothing short of alarming.


The Ed001 knows i am one of his biggest fans and wouldn't have a word said about him, but last season he was off the pace, this season is no better. In fact he's looking slower and sluggish now.


I don't think Gerrard is capable of even giving us 60 mins flat out. I have come to accept that we are better without Rafa, despite pining for him all season long. I am fast coming to the conclusion that perhaps it is now time for a parting of the ways. I would not want Gerrard to play in this Country though.


As we look to rebuild, not just for the next couple of years but for the next decade, this is the perfect time to replace our talismatic captain.


He has served the club fantastically. I think he'll do great abroad in Spain where the pace will suit his body, which looks shot to pieces.


What i would not want, is for Gerrard to drop like a stone and become a passenger and incure the wrath of the fans. He's deserves much better.


Time to go gracefully i think in the summer. He will still, in my eyes, be the best player we have had, considering the one man band antics he has done over the years. (This is where the Ed001 says 'and this is what has held us back'!). I think we're possibly both right!


I think it's time. Call the priest.


Bob the Red
. . . . . .
Nicely put bob. A note to everyone this is not people having a go at stevie, the guy is a legend.
And you can't begin to describe what he has done for this club. I would dread to think what would have happened if he had never come through the clubs ranks.
But he has not performed now for a while, it seems each injury is taking a little bit more out of him each time.
Stevie presence does put pressure on players which its bound to do, but if he's not performing to the highest level anymore its pressure they don't need.
Do you see stevie sitting on the bench and coming on for the last 20min cus I don't. He will want to be starting and playing every game cus that's the sort of player he is.

LAVERS
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Guys, I agree to a point with you & I totally respect your opinions but feel we need one more season from him as we need more important areas filled first this summer like the wings, defence & maybe a back up striker (N'gog not good enough at all). Maybe next summer we can concentrate then on replacing Stevie & maybe getting in £7 - 10m for him then.
I think KK will also target a midfielder this summer too but maybe someone like Adam again who could not fill a gap left by Gerrard. In the summer 2012 i feel we could have a good chance of getting a more high profile midfielder than we would this summer with most or nearly all our financial muscle used on this replacement!
The last thing we need now is to let another world class central midfielder leave without correctly being replaced like what happened with Alonso & Mascherano (Meireles has only hit form since January & look at how we struggled before this). Gourcuff / Sahin / the lad from Lyon (Pjanic i think) would be able replacements but may not have the £££'s this summer to secure them. Would like Martinez / Banega myself from what i've seen of them but people have been saying we could snap Banega up for £10m - don't see how this is possible as Valencia paid £15m for him a year ago or so? I know they have financial problems but £10m is a bit too good to be true.
Cheers,
Irish Kev. {Ed001's Note - Banega and his manager do not get on, so he is available on the cheap, they can't afford to pay a player to sit on the bench.}

 

 

 

 

08 Mar 2011 22:03:32
Can u explain and tell us even give example of what you mean and know please ed Irish john

True Red {Ed005's Note - So I see you are one of these blind fans who buys into the media farce of Gerrard being "Mr.Liverpool"? Do you actually know what he's like in the real world? Gerrard has held this club to ransom time and time again, either to get more money, to get things his way, to get the manager he wanted, and he even threatened to leave when he was played out wide. He bullied players. He is not "Mr.Liverpool". You want a true person to merit that title - look to Mr.Dalglish. Gerrard thinks he's bigger than Liverpool and although he has been a great player for us, he hasn't performed in two years and is 31 soon. You should actually know what's going on behind the scenes before saying people are not true fans instead of buying into what is a fantasy. {Ed001's Note - surely he has made it plain what he means? Remember when Gerrard said after lifting the 2005 Champions League trophy, 'how could I leave this club now?' Then he agreed to join Chelsea before changing his mind after having money waved in his face. Telling Rafa he would only play for the club if he played central or he would leave because he didn't want to play out wide, then happily playing wide left every game for England without complaint.}

So with the rumours of Gerrard and Pepe leaving, I'm gonna make a wishlist of what would happen if they were to leave.

Outs:
Reina - 25m
Gerrard - 25m
Jova - 5m
Soto - free
Degen - free
El Zhar - free
Skrtel - 6m
N'Gog - 8m
Maxi - 5m
Poulsen - 2m
Konckesky - 3m
Aquilani - 10m
Insua - 3m
Total: 92m

In:
M'Vila - 13m
Adam - 8m
Sakho - 10m
Gervinho - 10m
Baines - 13m
Marveaux - free
Lloris - 14m
Martinez - 14m
Benzema - 20m
Wickham - 8m
Total:110m

Net Spent = 18m

- - - - - - - - - - - -Lloris- - - - - - - - - - -
Johnson- - - -Sakho- - - -Agger- - - - Baines

- - - Gervinho- - Shelvey- - Marveaux- - - -
- - - - - - - - - -Wickham- - - - - - - - - - -

with Kuyt, Spearing, Pacheco, Aurelio and Cole also in the mix.

Wisdom, Sokolik, Flanagan and Coady will make the step up to full time reserve team players and have a significant amount of their training at Melwood.

Carra will be captain with Meireles, Agger and Adam (in that order) wearing the armband in his absence.

I have to admit, it would be difficult without two vital members of our first team, but it will help us later on as we can prepare for the future, as you can see with a squad that we could field in 5 years time. .

I can't believe im reading that Gerrard should be sold! Yeah Gerrard ain't had his best season but please have a day off with comments about him being sold! Whilst Gerrard isn't getting younger he is still class and will always be class. The positives are that the squad is improving and can take the weight of his shoulders to keep winning games for us. Stevie Gerrard should never be sold and he is so versatile he could play in many positions for years to come and he will retire from international within 2 yrs so thatll help things

08 Mar 2011 21:02:31
Hey ed, just wonderd how many players you think is needed in the summer, i myself would be very happy to bring 3 quality players in, to go in to the first team. we don't need back ups or squad players imo, back up and squad players will come from players like kuyt maxi , cole, lucas etc dropping out the first team. instead we need versatile players that play in a number of positions. the 3 i think would do a job is ashley young, alexis sanchez and gael clichy, all 3 would walk in to our first eleven. young and sanchez can play upfront, just behind or on the wings, so ngog could be sold. clichy can play as left back or wing back, agger johnson even carra can then cover if need be, so konchesky and sick note can be sold. auralio is a good player when fit but that's the problem he is never fit. we have some great talent at centre back in wilson, ayala and kelly, and they should be given there chance next season so would not look to be buying a centre half. kelly and johnson have right back position sorted, also there is enough quality in the youth and reserves to be given a go, pacheco, suso even stirling etc to name a few. i would rather spend 50/ 60m on quality not quantity. 3 players that would take us up to the next level, not 5 or 6 average players that won't change anything in terms of we still cling to the gerrard will produce a moment of magic, and by selling jovanovic aquilani and maxi the wage bill would not be greatley increased. in a perfect world to have 20 worldclass players would be great, but will never happen, you need a minimun of 15 first team players 5 being in the worldclass/ quality the rest dependable/ good and talent and youth to be competative. with reina, agger, mereiles, gerrard, saurez, carroll, even carra on his day and johnson going forward, to add young clichy and sanchez we would have 11 quality players. with kuyt, lucas, srktel, and cole we have good players and with kelly, ayala, wilson, pacheco, suso, stirling, spearing amoo etc we have talented youth that may or may not reach there potential, only game time will determine that. i know my choice of players may differ to someone elses, but clichy and young are both established in the prem, and would be devasting down the left flank, and sanchez and johnson/ kelly down the right would be equally as mouth watering. surely we would have enough to be a top four club again?
so ed, sorry about the essay, but back to the question how many players do you think is needed iyo?

 

 

 

 

08 Mar 2011 21:02:22
I'm fully behing Gerrard and liked the role he had at the weekend, the days of him charging around for 90 mins look like they are behind him but I still feel he has a lot to offer.

I know a lot of people on here that are far more informed than myself (including the ed's), believe he is too big for his boots, but my thoughts are thus (arguements pls :))

Gerrard prospered under the management of a more fatherly figure in Houllier. Benitez's offish approach with players obviously grated Gerrard at times (ref his autobiography). I doubt whether Hodgson ever had the levels of respect required.

Respect is earned and if Kenny is as good at getting in peoples heads as people say he is, all should be fine. I forget which ex-player said it but I believe his words were 'Nobody is bigger than this glorious club but Kenny comes very close'.

Re:-What do you think of Gerardo Bruna guys.
He beens scoring loads recently.
Hes been not talked about really, maybe because no one knows much about him, his background/ etc. Or maybe because hes behind the likes of Pacheco, amoo, ince and suso in terms of reputation/ youth prodidgy
I don't think hell make it in to the first team. But hes doing nothing wrong at the moment.
Your thoughts guys and Ed's?

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
He is soooooo frustrating to watch, we all know he has quallity, but just doesn't produce enough penetrative options consistently enough, I personally think we have better options in Adojran, (spelling), on the left and take your pick up front . . .Ngoo, Sterling, Amoo and Morgan

 

 

 

 

08 Mar 2011 20:47:34
Listen, people say Fernando will be and probably is already missing Liverpool. .

Well although I know we are a club bigger then any one man no matter where he is from, I know if Gerrard left it would be us missing him just as much as he would miss us.

Next season, expect big things from him. Keep the faith lads, he isn't done yet, not by a long way.

 

 

 

 

08 Mar 2011 20:48:24

Makes sense on the gerrard rumours in my opinion, He has lost his passion , that's how his body language is in games. . plus he is really playing Mediocre

Cant believe all the neg talk about stevie. He has been s**t all season, but so were most players until recently.

I do like him playing as a second striker but I also believe having him in the middle will continue his career at any club by another 2 years.

There is no doubt in my mind he has been disillusioned recently with all the trouble's our club has had, but I also know full well that next season it will be him driving and leading LFC in a chase for silverware, hopefully the league title but at the very least, a top 4 spot.

He could have left years ago, but loyalty stopped him and also he has won every trophy with us, bar 1.

Winning the spanish, Italian or any other league would not mean as much as winning the EPL and he would only want to win that as a Liverpool player so I say people should stay loyal to him too.

This game is all about opinions, and we're all welcome to say what we feel, but some are well of the mark to say ''he has lost it''.

Form is temporary, class is permanant and I gaurentee next season we will see his true class once more but he will be more complimented with players like suarez, Carroll, Miereles and hopefully new faces like Young and Turan playing around him.

He deserves much more credit than some of you give him, and I for one hope he stays, wins some major silverware and the league before retiring, and showing the one's who doubt him that he still ''has it''.

All you people saying it's time for Gerrard to leave please behave. Who's out there better than him. Also he's got the right to finnish his career at Anfield just because of his loyalty shown to the club. He's had lucrative offers before and turned them down we need to show the same to him.

"this is the perfect time to replace our talismatic captain." you've gotta be kidding? he's not had the best season, but going on the season before KK reign who in the team performed to their ability? He's been carrying an injury and he'll be back towards his best. Injuries aside there's no reason why he shouldnt be in the squad for next 5 years. . look at Lampard (2y older), Scholes (6y), Giggs (7y older). .

Regarding the Gerrard debate and in particular the Ed001's comments on the way he has been coached over the years.


Totally agree with the Ed that Rafa, when he joined the club, could not believe the 'wasted effort' that Gerrard put in running here, there and everywhere and set about over the next couple of years, honing him in and telling when to make runs and when to save himself.


That worked well several years ago as i think we'll all agree Gerrard in 06, 07 and 08 was simply outstanding.


However it is not serving Gerrard at all now. His fall from the high echelons of grace has been nothing short of alarming.


The Ed001 knows i am one of his biggest fans and wouldn't have a word said about him, but last season he was off the pace, this season is no better. In fact he's looking slower and sluggish now.


I don't think Gerrard is capable of even giving us 60 mins flat out. I have come to accept that we are better without Rafa, despite pining for him all season long. I am fast coming to the conclusion that perhaps it is now time for a parting of the ways. I would not want Gerrard to play in this Country though.


As we look to rebuild, not just for the next couple of years but for the next decade, this is the perfect time to replace our talismatic captain.


He has served the club fantastically. I think he'll do great abroad in Spain where the pace will suit his body, which looks shot to pieces.


What i would not want, is for Gerrard to drop like a stone and become a passenger and incure the wrath of the fans. He's deserves much better.


Time to go gracefully i think in the summer. He will still, in my eyes, be the best player we have had, considering the one man band antics he has done over the years. (This is where the Ed001 says 'and this is what has held us back'!). I think we're possibly both right!


I think it's time. Call the priest.

Nicely put bob. A note to everyone this is not people having a go at stevie, the guy is a legend.
And you can't begin to describe what he has done for this club. I would dread to think what would have happened if he had never come through the clubs ranks.
But he has not performed now for a while, it seems each injury is taking a little bit more out of him each time.
Stevie presence does put pressure on players which its bound to do, but if he's not performing to the highest level anymore its pressure they don't need.
Do you see stevie sitting on the bench and coming on for the last 20min cus I don't. He will want to be starting and playing every game cus that's the sort of player he is.

All this talk of gerrard seems to have cropped up all of a sudden. its true he hasnt hit form this season, been injured often, and not getting a run of games together due to this has probably knocked his confidence too. where he used to shoot on sight in previous seasons, he seem to check and pass it on now. I think if he has a summer off to recharge and a proper pre season, he'll come back a better player, although he might need to change his style as he's not getting any younger. I actually think hes our best right sided player for deliveries and shooting at the club, and maybe that's where he could end up. im sure he'll stay at liverpool, although if he was to go, no one could begrudge him a final pay day at an 'AC Milan or Madrid'

True Red {Ed005's Note - So I see you are one of these blind fans who buys into the media farce of Gerrard being "Mr.Liverpool"? Do you actually know what he's like in the real world? Gerrard has held this club to ransom time and time again, either to get more money, to get things his way, to get the manager he wanted, and he even threatened to leave when he was played out wide. He bullied players. He is not "Mr.Liverpool". You want a true person to merit that title - look to Mr.Dalglish. Gerrard thinks he's bigger than Liverpool and although he has been a great player for us, he hasn't performed in two years and is 31 soon. You should actually know what's going on behind the scenes before saying people are not true fans instead of buying into what is a fantasy.

Oh sorry wise one my bad. but do you realise this club is based on laymen fans 95% not knowing what goes on behind the scenes. and anyways. the guy could've left and didnt. he could've gone on to win titles else where but he didn't . he did not desert the fans so i will not imagine him leaving my club. hes a better person than one man giggs and scholes who are credited for sticking around but won so much. so please you might know behind the scenes (apparently) but we fans do not want gerrard to be sold. you guys have lost touch. ps we won champions league 60% cause of gerrard 40% cause of the rest of the team and coach

People's memories are weak, Steven Gerrard is still a top top quality player. Yes he has had injuries again this year and has rarely been at his best but you really can not say he is anywhere near finished. Once he gets as fit as he can I am quite sure Kenny will bring his top form back and I cannot wait. He has been our best player for the past 5 years and still is our best player and don't forget it! Kenny's man management and the quality players to come in the summer will bring the best out of Stevie, and we will all "have a look boys" time and time again!

And if the team of Kyrgiakos' played the team of Torres' - who would win? {Ed005's Note - What about a team of Torres' from a few years ago? Plus, if you had a team of players without technique but 100% effort, what you would end up with is 4 Kuyt's in midfield, and two Kuyt's up front - would that win a league?}

A team of kyrgiakos' = blackpool's at start of season. Playing 10/ 10 because playing in prem. But sooner or later you need the skill & knowledge of the game, to stay in top flight.

My choice for a replacement for Gerrard would be Martinez of Bilbao. He has the same goal-scoring record as Gerrard did at 22, has better defensive qualities, has Alonso-esque passing and is a massive threat from set-pieces - in addition to his ability to take them with pin-point accuracy.

not to mention his ability to strike a ball from long range#11

I just realized something. Torres has left, people are posting about gerrard leaving (not in favor of that happening, but won't really worry if it did), we are worried about pepe leaving, mereiles and suarez have proven to be great signings, we are all excited about seeing andy carrol in action, kelly has been the best right back in the league this season and agger is an amazing defender when fit. The point is, we are not a 2 man team anymore, its no longer the gerrard and torres show! A bit random i know but just thought id point that out. Its something to feel good about. And kuyt scored a hat trick ha . .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Well then don't plan on cashing in this summer, we could not in our wildest dreams get 20 million for Gerrard. Let's get real guys, the guy is going nowhere, he's Liverpool through and through, if anything (like the editor was saying maybe the club is ready to move on) Gerrard will be moved into more of an auxiliary role like Giggs and Scholes have been at Scum, paving the way for young talent to flourish at LFC. You can't just throw the kind of young promising talent LFC are looking for into the fire and expect much. Surely you lads agree with me.

besides, at the moment we don't need the money

Dont get me wrong I don't think that Gerrard SHOULD be sold, if he can be the Gerrard from 09 then keep him. Sadly though it seems recently (even under kenny) that his drive and passion for the club isn't what it was. He still plays well. .just not Gerrard standard.

Maybe a change of scenery may benefit both him and the club. Based on how he currently plays he is replaceable.

Hmmmm. . If he went who could step in his shoes? ?


suggestions?


Maybe any of the following:

Canales (too young maybe?)

Hamsik (Quality?)

Maybe a swap deal with Madrid (as Jose is so keen on Gerrard) Kaka plus £5million?

I think that maybe KP Boateng could be a possibility?
. . . .
I wouldn't really want to see him go either he's been an absolute star for us for a long time.
Maybe with him carrying the team for so long its beginning to take its toll on him.
Also if he has a hold on the team like some say, do we need it if he's not as big a player on the pitch anymore.
Who to replace him is hard, it would depend on formation on so on. We have miereles banging them in so maybe we need an alonso type of player.
Don't really fancy kaka tho would want to m much in wages and maybe he's on the slide now aswell.

He could at least provide cover or play in cup matches if we decide to play Johnson at LB and Kelly at RB - thoughts ED?

Canales is a good player but still 20 and we couldnt buy him as a direct replacement for Gerrard.

Hamsik is a good player (though I'm sceptical of his ability to play in the Prem), but I honestly would not be able to stand looking at that train-wreck of a mug every week. Seriously, look him up - he's probably the ugliest footballer on the planet.
All jokes aside, I watched him against Ireland a while back and he was completely kept out of the game by Paul Green and Glen Whelan. I didn't even know who Paul Green was until that game - he struggles to get a game for Derby County in the Championship.

Kaka is 29 and completely ineffective. We would do better to hold on to Gerrard.

KP Boateng failed at Spurs and he loves himself almost as much as Ronaldo. He thinks he's God's gift to football.

My choice for a replacement for Gerrard would be Martinez of Bilbao. He has the same goal-scoring record as Gerrard did at 22, has better defensive qualities, has Alonso-esque passing and is a massive threat from set-pieces - in addition to his ability to take them with pin-point accuracy.

Spearing has played and not Pacheco c'mon that's saying something. {Ed005's Note - I didn't actually say he wasn't good enough, if you took the time to read my post and noticed the question mark. I was merely making that suggestion.}

> i remember one of the ed's (possibly ed 001) saying pacheco was not applying himself correctly in training etc, it is frustrating to know we have good prospects such as mavinga and pacheco who may well go on to do great things with other clubs!, especially as i for one don't rate spearing as a first teamer, nor did i rate darby when he got a look in!

Hodgson may of signed Meirles but he played him on the right wing, the difference is that KK has created a role in which he is effective.

We still have a lot of dead wood and hopefully we will see the back of mediocre players and see more quality in the squad.

GK - Pepe - best in prem.
RB - Kelley - looks the part, Johnson looks better at LB, but good cover with Carra.
CB - Agger - class but needs to play more, too injury prone
CB - Carra, 1 maybe 2 seasons left?
CB - Skrtl - Poor in the air, poor on the ground and poor positionally - look at the goals we have conceeded this year.
CB - Soto - Whole hearted - but there has to be better- not 1st choice.
CB - Wilson - will eventually be 1st choice.

LB - Insua - appalling positional sense, too slow.
LB - Aurelio - Excellent footballer, but too injury prone.

So we have Kelley, Agger, Johnson, Carra and Wilson and I would love to see us buy a LB and a dominant CB.

Also to go

Jovo
Cole
Poulsen
Maxi
Spearing
Ngog

And replace with a quality wide men and holding CM

Why wud gerrard leave if his idol is given the managers job full time? i doesn't make sense
wot are ur thoughts ed? {Ed001's Note - he is not playing well, ever thought the club might feel it is time to move on?}

its good that fans are saying this because is shows that we trust our owners, trust the team we have now(mainly midfield i.e Lucas and Meireles), that we are improving and not reluctant anymore over loosing our "teams most inspirational player" Gerrard. and this is thanks to a few people at the club, first Torres for leaving (to be fare is a world class striker and thanks for the great years i guess but was holding us back), second for Suarez coming in and showing we don't need Torres, third for the director of footballing strats and also the owners and their willingness to heavily invest in what the saw as the front line a major need for improvement. this is also good as this has created a whole new mindset in everyone invloved with the club, a player that is not showing form or effort is not going to be tolerated as there are always better options out there.
- - - - - - - - -

Agree with this. Trust Kenny and Trust owners, especially regarding transfers as they have so far done very well.
In regards to Gerrard being necessary. .he isn't anymore, if he could the great Gerrard from 09 then yes he should stay, but while he looks stagnant its good idea to sell.
When he has been out this season Meireles has been fantastic. We don't NEED him to win games anymore, we just WANT him to.

Ed you have just lost all my respect for saying that
he is liverpools 2nd best player ever, a great captain with tonnes of experience a true red and will definately find his form soon (its not that he's been bad, he's been average below his usual world class form). {Ed005's Note - Why has he lost your respect? Very few people actually know what Steven Gerrard is like at a person, and how he has held Liverpool to ransom in the past to get more money, get things his way. He's captain, not chairman. He has too much power and he's not this "Mr.Liverpool" everyone makes him out to be. Gerrard isn't in the same class as Dalglish as a player and person - people like Kenny are true Mr.Liverpools.}

Would people prefer to have a team of Kyrgiakos type players (not technically the best but 100% effort every game) or a team Torres' (technically very good but generally minimal effort, and uninterested in the team)?

And if the team of Kyrgiakos' played the team of Torres' - who would win? {Ed005's Note - What about a team of Torres' from a few years ago? Plus, if you had a team of players without technique but 100% effort, what you would end up with is 4 Kuyt's in midfield, and two Kuyt's up front - would that win a league?}

LFC only recently gave Jamie Carragher a 2 year contract . I think LFC value Steven Gerrard as important , if not more important .

We know Kenny Dalglish signed Gerrard as a 9 year old , I believe Kenny Dalglish will be determined to get the best out of him over the next few years .

He can still do it in the middle of the park .

why wud gerrard leave if his idol is given the managers job full time? i doesn't make sense
wot are ur thoughts ed? {Ed001's Note - he is not playing well, ever thought the club might feel it is time to move on?}

You fans are a disgrace for even wanting to sell Gerrard. actually you're not real fans at all. and Ed i didn't expect you to say this. Gerrard to be sold the man who carried the team all these years as a one man team and hes a little out of form and you want him out? you people make me sick

True Red {Ed005's Note - So I see you are one of these blind fans who buys into the media farce of Gerrard being "Mr.Liverpool"? Do you actually know what he's like in the real world? Gerrard has held this club to ransom time and time again, either to get more money, to get things his way, to get the manager he wanted, and he even threatened to leave when he was played out wide. He bullied players. He is not "Mr.Liverpool". You want a true person to merit that title - look to Mr.Dalglish. Gerrard thinks he's bigger than Liverpool and although he has been a great player for us, he hasn't performed in two years and is 31 soon. You should actually know what's going on behind the scenes before saying people are not true fans instead of buying into what is a fantasy.}

I don't know why people want new strikers. we've already gotten ourselves carrol and suarez. kuyt should be only used now as a back up striker with n gog back up for him

The more important areas are wingers . one midfielder and one good left back. so that's atleast four players there 2 wingers one cm and one left back. thoughts ed?

True Red {Ed001's Note - I think we need a back up striker more than a left back, Ngog is not good enough, or even close to being good enough, to even cover.}

yes we have to get a young one, a striker that is keen to play but that can wait and fight for a pace in the starting 11.or just Hoarau.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Can we not just give Pacheco the chance, the kid is class and I can't understand why Ngog gets the chance to play instead of him, all Ngog has is height. His touch, finish and hold up play are shockingly bad. . I'd give Suso, Sterling or Pacheco a chance, at least they have some potential. I think we have all the Strikers we need now to make any defense crap themselves. We need 2 quality wingers (left and right side) to provide crosses for Andy Carroll, a playmaker and a left back, Fabio Aurelio needs to go IMO, he's way too injury prone, same with Joe Cole.

I reckon most of us recognise that we still need several players, LB, CB, CM, LW, RW, CF. After much deliberation and trying to stick to players who may be attainable I have come up with these. Comments are welcome
LB. Baines or Coentrao
CB. Lovren or Hummels
CM. Pjanic or Banega
LW. Turan or Mata
RW. Johnson or Young
CF. Llorente or Barrios
Would also sign Honda very versatile

 

 

 

 

08 Mar 2011 17:27:31
As a former fellow defender i cannot agree with the posters regarding Kyrgiakos. He, along with Skrtel are the main reasons why we have performed so poorly, especially away from home.

He has zero pace, so we have to defend deeper giving more space in front of us which is exploited time after time.

He cannot turn, well he can just a few hours after everyone else! And if up against anyone of quick, sharp pace is in serious trouble.

He is in actual fact the product of the old fashioned centre half, big, bulky, great in the air etc but the game is so much faster now.

And he isn't the best positonally either and with Skrtel also suffering from this, at times we are all over the place down the middle.

wot are ur thoughts ed? {Ed001's Note - he is not playing well, ever thought the club might feel it is time to move on?}

its good that fans are saying this because is shows that we trust our owners, trust the team we have now(mainly midfield i.e Lucas and Meireles), that we are improving and not reluctant anymore over loosing our "teams most inspirational player" Gerrard. and this is thanks to a few people at the club, first Torres for leaving (to be fare is a world class striker and thanks for the great years i guess but was holding us back), second for Suarez coming in and showing we don't need Torres, third for the director of footballing strats and also the owners and their willingness to heavily invest in what the saw as the front line a major need for improvement. this is also good as this has created a whole new mindset in everyone invloved with the club, a player that is not showing form or effort is not going to be tolerated as there are always better options out there.

Ed with all the talk on here about gerrard may leave in the summer well here is my take on it, this season he has not been that good, he looks like he has put on a bit of weight and he aint the power house he used to be and surely cannot play and the same fitness levels as some of the younger stars of today, saying that captain fantastic is still a quality player and would be gutted if he wanted to go but if i was in charge he would be stayin unless a masive bid of atleast 28m came in for him, if that was to happen then i would seriously consider it .

Re the reasons for our poor goal difference, they are three fold and not solely down to our defence:
1 We have only scored 39 goals
2 We have leaked 36 which is admittedly attrocious
3 We played for much of the season under RH who is supposedly a good "defensive" coach

Under KK our goal difference is much better with 15 for and 9 against. Give it time lads. . . .

Not only did we batter the mancs we also made the bitches cry- imagine with one or two additions next year they will be quaking in their boots.

I think the acquisition of Suarez was a blessing in disguise- more guile and more contribution than Torres - I'd watched him at the world cup but did not realise he was this special-

Who do we need to strengthen- Forget about Hazard-it was reported last week that he had signed a one year extension.

I would try for Asley Young as he says he wants to come and as the left back position is top priority I would look to fill it with Mavinga in the long term- he looks good although after his loan move to Genk we've not had a chance to keep tabs on him

 

 

 

 

08 Mar 2011 16:09:30
Btw, I think we all forget the role SOTO played in the first goal by passing the ball to Suarez and not attempting an N'Gog or a Torres or even a Rodrigues of shooting the ball from such close range.

Soto should stay only for his aerial threat at set pieces if not for defending. We lack a CB who can pose this threat since Hypia
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I totally agree with this post.
He gets stuck in and, while he's no Jocky Hansen, he's ideal for a lot of Prem games. He always gives his best. And when it kicks off, he's a serious big lump to back our lads off !

If we are thinking about getting another striker i think it should be connor wickham, hes a player who will fight for his place, and he is a liverpool supporter. also he isn't a player who will expect to start every game or throw a tantrum if hes not starting(benzema, vucinic etc). all that plus, he's young, and very talented. .

IF, BIG IF, we signed Adam Johnson, and played a 4-3-3 with a front 3 of Carroll, Suarez and A.Johnson, we would have the most feared front line in England, not to mention the constant threat of Gerrard and Meireles.

In my opion we only need four players in the summer: -

1. Eden Hazard
2. Ashley Young
3. Leighton Baines
4. Y M'Villa (spelling! )

Add to this the emergence of a few of the younger players we have quality throughout the side.

Hazard is a must buy. This las would provide such a threat with his pace and ability to carry the ball and score goals. I personally woould not invest in another striker as we have 4 (inc Ngog) and have people who can play as the second striker in Cole and Stevie G. Both EH & AY could also play in this role if necessary. Ideally a pacy centre back would be a great addition but I really see Kelly moving there in a couple of years.

I wouldn't keep Ngog as he isn't progressing, Ashley young isn't good enough and Eden Hazard WILL NOT come to us.

Ed, do you know what happened to Sami Hypia coming back as a coach? Would love to see him back at the club. {Ed002's Note - He is contracted to Leverkusen and Roy HHodgson's attempts to b ring him back failed. If there is still interest in the summer perhaps the club could try again.}

99% of what we read in the sports section of the papers and on commercial online sports sites is absolute trash. The latest example is the caughtoffside website which is reporting that LFC's owners may be interested in Van Gaal. This is utter ball ox. KK is doing a fantastic job, and there would be a mutiny if anyone other than KK were to get the job permanently. Rest assured KK and Clarke for a long term deal is a 100% certainty. The fans want it, the players want it and the owners want it. The media has had a field day with LFC over the last few years and old habits die hard? As for the Reina rumours. City and Chelsea have no room for him. Arsene Wenger is developing a young keeper and not exactly known for splashing out £20m on an outfield player never mind a goalkeeper. In the premiership this leaves Man Utd. Even if they have significant money to spend (which is by no means a certainty given their debt levels), I cannot see Ferguson spending £20m on a keeper when they have half a dozen geriatric outfield players who they need to replace. The rumour doing the rounds today is that Ferguson is trying to persuade Van Der Sar to stay on for one more year and this is a far more realistic rumour than Man Utd signing Reina . Goalkeeper have longer careers than outfield players and so Reina still has time on his side. What he wants to see is an end to the false promises and for the club to move forward. The change of ownership, the appointment of KK and the Suarez/ Carroll acquisitions are significant movements in the right direction. If NESV sign us a couple of quality additions in the early part of the summer (which they clearly intend to do) I have little doubt that Reina will have seen sufficient progress to want to be a part of our future. Even if he were to go, I have no doubt that NESV would give KK every penny of the £20m fee (assuming its this) just like every penny of the Torres fee was. KK would sign a very decent replacement keeper and still have plenty left over to be added to the pot which NESV will make available in the summer. Reality Red

Every facet of our club future looking great, including:
1. No debt - this means all profits being reinvested instead of servicing debt / money from player sales being re-invested.
2. The right manager.
3. Pass and Move is back (whilst not yet perfect it is a joy to watch us return to our roots after years of defensive football).
4. New stadium or redevelopment of Anfield on the horizon (though it currently appears quiet on this front, rest assured that NESV are actively evaluating this - they are currently contacting the 25,000 plus on the season ticket waiting list to see to what extent this remains an accurate waiting list).
5. Kelly breakthrough is complete- already the best right back in the country.
6. Shelvey & Wilson breaking through - its only a matter before these still teenagers! nail a first team place.
7. Spearing has done himself no harm this season and may has a future too.
8. A plethora of fantastic youngsters are in the pipeline. The latest 5:1 demolition of Blackburn's reserves was great to watch. There are at least half a dozen teenagers in the 16-18 year old age bracket who at worst will be squad players and some will make it into the first team.
9. Raheem Sterling - has the genuine potential to be a world class talent.
10. The sale of Torres and purchase of Suarez and Carroll was great business. Suarez's commitment all round game is better than Torres and in addition we got Carroll for free.

GUYS this is NESV who listens to the fans and not the TEXANS, so hold ur breath and wait and watch as NESV will not get themselves thrown out by fan power by appointing anyone other than KK as permanent manager.
Only thing they are doing currently is trying to make sense of a situation they can't logically understand. They are probably waiting to make the announcement when we are on the trough of the KENNY WAVE and they will make the announcement in order to lift us. There is not other way to it. KK is our next manager and if NESV does not do that, we shall start a campaign to throw them out. However, in NESV we trust
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I do not agree with the last bit of this post one bit. Yes Kenny will be appointed but if NESV think that there is a better man for the job then so be it. I won't start a campaign to get NESV out, if they did not make Kenny manager full time. NESV will do what's right for the club, if that means getting someone else in as manager, then so be it. If that means keeping Kenny in charge then even better. Either way i'll not be wanting them to leave, look what they have done for us already i.e providing funds, sorting out new stadium asap and most importantly setting up a 13 man supporters committee, so we will have a say on the board on what direction the club should be going.

Apology's for the long "rant" but we should get these kind of thoughts out of our head, everytime we don't like somthing at our club. Let NESV continue what they are doing, they seem to know excatly what is required.

I would like to ask a few about ashley young. . i noticed the ed and alot of fans saying they don't want him. .

his this due to him playing for aston villa and we see them as a small club and him a small player or is it cos they don't think he is good enough. .

because i don't see a better player doing it in the prem week in week out. plus he is now doing it on the international stage. .

its all well and good going for foreign players, but not all make it in the prem. . look at honda he won't come the prem cos he don't think he can handle the prem. . now he is a class player. . Shevchenko was a class player but failed to make it at the chavs. .

Young does it now in the prem and i think he will be perfect for the reds just like a younger john barnes was! !

"The Madness of King Roy XXXIII"

"Always allow 24 hours before you mame statement about anything in football."

Time flies when you're being ignored.
As an LFC fan I was witness to Ferguson's ego crashing down to earth.
Hence his refusal to speak to the media.
Sour grapes.
It seems to be a case of sneering Manchester United and damn the rest.

I was going to make this another of my long postings.
Then I thought waht I wanted to say I had said before.
Worth mentioning again.

MUFC, the FA, the BBC, SKY and the media are ALL to blame for this Ferguson fiasco.
He IS bigger than the game becuase they ALL allow him to do what he wants.

He has a suspneded ban from the FA hanging over him - I have no faith in that being implemented.
What a weak, powerless and discredited cadre of clowns the FA is.
The media fawn over managers and allow Ferguson to ignore them.
NOTHING will change until one of the media outlets makes a complaint about Ferguson to the FA . . .

. . DAMN!
There goes my argument.
They might as well complain to Ed Milliband . . two hopeless cases.

Sneering.
Aloof.
Arrogant.
Despised.
Ignorant.
Strong.
Powerful.
Disingenuous.
Admired.
Hated.
Respected.

MUFC fans wear blinkers.
I don't they will be able to choose five from the bunch that would win them a prize on a quiz show.

I recently seen a post linking us with Micah Richards. Although i think he is a good player, i think his value would be through the roof. He is a regular starter for City too so i cannot see them selling him to a rival and unless its a crazy figure. On the other hand another City player who can play at RB or CB and fits the British player registration quota is Nedum Onuoha. As he is on loan at the moment im guessing he's surplus to requirements and won't be too expensive. He is a good player and will only get better.

Also, we have been linked with Payet and Young. One of our posters stated that young has great stats in the PL, and Payet has not got the bests of stats in France. Then one of the eds got on and said that stats don't mean anything and they don't tell the full story. Then if so, what about the stats showing Lucas as the 2nd best tackler in the EPL, have we to take this as nothing? One of the Eds defended Lucas with this stat too. Not sure if it was the same one. I would go for Ashley Young hands down. I reckon two of them would cost the same amount and in my opinion i think Ashley would be the better buy

Barry B {Ed002's Note - It was not the same Ed defending Lucas. I think he is a very good player and have never said anything agaisnt him - but I would certainly not defend him or anyone else with statistics.}

Two of the most talked about players on this site WILL NOT be coming to Liverpool.
Leighton Baines may have once been a Liverpool supporter but there is no way he would join us now. It is like saying Fowler or Carragher would have joined Everton at their peak. Once you have changed your allegiance once there is no going back. As he comes from Liverpool Baines knows what a figure of hate he would become if he did this.

Arda Turan is almost as unlikely. He hasn't played for about 5 months due to injury (although some of the contributors on here would have you believe he is turning world class performances in week after week) therefore he is hardly likely to be a target for any of Europes top clubs until he proves his fitness which probably won't be until next season.

Morning eds. just a few words to thank king kenny in bringing freshness and pro-activity into our club. i feel with him in charge we all have something to look forward too, not just players coming in but the future as a whole. i was really beginning to think we were on our way out when roy was in charge, i was falling asleep with the way we use to play. the football is better (25000 times better) the lads seem to be enjoying pulling the red jersey on again, the fans are back to there best on the kop, i know there maybe no silverware this year but to me it doesn't matter as we have come a million miles in 1 year and all i can say it thanks to the onwers and the king.

all in all i can feel the great times coming once again. . . .ynwa

p.s. the win on sunday was great. . .

I really don't see centre half as a problem for Liverpool I rekon Carra has 1 or 2 seasons in him and if agger can get fit he is class. We have some amazing prospects there too with Wilson, ayala and Kelly can play there also skrtel is not the best but will do as back up as we need to invest in other areas more I feel

Totally agree with you on this one, hopefully there won't be many meaningless games come the end of the season but my head is telling me 4th is just out of reach (pessimistic. . .maybe).
. . . . .
Is say 4th is out of reach, 5th would do ahead of spuds. After what bale said about us is piss my pants laughing.
If only the board judged hodgson after 10games like he said, I think it would have been a different story then.

The only problem with that is Johnson is unproven at right mid right now. He has played right, left & centre back (for West Ham).
It's definitely worth trying sometime (maybe in a pre - season match or two?) but just because it worked for Bale doesn't mean it'll work for Glen Johnson.

Personally, I wouldn't be too concerned about wide players that can skin 2/ 3 players, more so players with good delivery (more Beckham than Lennon if you follow).

I also believe it's a shame Fabio can't stay fit as his delivery is first class.

For all we know maybe they've already tested it out in training, but the only way to know for sure is in a proper match i guess.

Personally i'd prefer an out & out winger with a little pace & excellent cross / final ball (for to make best use of Carroll).

But that's just my opinion mate!

Johnson was playing right wing at Portsmouth for the last part of the season if I'm not mistaken.
He did fine.

Btw, I think we all forget the role SOTO played in the first goal by passing the ball to Suarez and not attempting an N'Gog or a Torres or even a Rodrigues of shooting the ball from such close range.

Soto should stay only for his aerial threat at set pieces if not for defending. We lack a CB who can pose this threat since Hypia

Ed. caughtoffside is reporting that lfc owners may be interested in louis van gaal. why would lfc owners want someelse when kk is doing a fantastic job? are the owners going to go backward by appointing van gaal. no disrepect to van gaal but sorry dude kk is the solution , not you or anyone else.

in kk we trust

GUYS this is NESV who listens to the fans and not the TEXANS, so hold ur breath and wait and watch as NESV will not get themselves thrown out by fan power by appointing anyone other than KK as permanent manager.
Only thing they are doing currently is trying to make sense of a situation they can't logically understand. They are probably waiting to make the announcement when we are on the trough of the KENNY WAVE and they will make the announcement in order to lift us. There is not other way to it. KK is our next manager and if NESV does not do that, we shall start a campaign to throw them out. However, in NESV we trust

LFC want:

Benzema
Adam
M'Vila
Enrique
Young
Payet/ Turan/ Dzsudzsak (possibly 2 of them, if Maxi, Cole and Jova leave, but i think Cole will be kept as backup as Kenny rates him highly, depends if we get a good offer)

Reina
Johnson Kelly Agger Enrique
Gerrard M'Vila Meireles
Benzema Carroll Suarez

Subs: Gulacsi, Carra, Aurelio, Lucas, Adam, Young/ Marveaux, Kuyt/ Payet

************************************

How about we all let Kenny, Comolli and the owners make their own choices as I am sure they know best. I am sure Turan has been considered as an option - if he does not come in summer, it will be because he wasn't seen as the best option for the team.

I want to start a petition against petitions. We are in good hands - have some faith.

Please don't compare the two - Suarez has made more tackles playing for LFC than Ronaldo did in his whole career at Man U. It is more accurate to say we have our own Tevez.

It's probable that Pepe Reina will be looking to leave in the Summer.
If that is the case and, given the Arse's interest in the player, shouldn't we try for a cheeky little swap deal for Gibbs and Wilshere?
. . That'd certainly give us an imput of homegrown talent whilst curing one or two positional problems.
Also, what about N'gog plus some petty cash for Conor Wickham as a forward back-up and let's get rid of a few passengers. . . . . . .
Maxi Rodriguez, Martin Skirtel, Paul Konchesky, Sammy Lee, Christian Poulsen, Phillipe Degen, Nabil El Zhar, Fabio Aurelio, Konchesky's mum, Joe Cole, Emiliano Insua, Brad Jones, Milan Jovanovic, Alberto Aquilani and Nathan Ecclestone? ?

None of the above have added anything and, if there are any buyers out there, should net us £30-35m.
And most can be replaced with the obvious talent we have at the Club and their sales will reduce the wage-bill considerably.

I was tempted to add Lucas, Gerrard, Carragher, Kuuyt and Agger(INJURIES? )to the list but, having thought about it, they would all be excellent squad-players.

Of our current crop of players only Kelly, Agger(if fit), Meireles, Suarez, Carroll, Johnson(at winger) and possibly Shelvey would escape the chop.
I don't include the talented reserves and youth team players.

As far as replacements go, and from what I know about them, I can only suggest that we look at buying Cahill and/ or Shawcross or Birmingham's Johnson for CD. . . . a good full-back or two, M'vila or similar as a defensive midfielder: Honda, Turan, Marveaux, Adam Johnson, Charlie Adam or Ashley Young as midfielders/ wide-men. Personally, I'd take a chance on Charles N'zogbia as a squad-player as he can play LB or LW and is proven at this level.

Replacing Pepe Reina won't be a doddle so I'm suggesting Shay Given for the moment as I can't think of anyone good enough!

Replacing Sammy Lee is easier. . . .Jan Molby or Gary MacAllister!

So, for next season, my EPL winning team is;

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .GIVEN. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

G.JOHNSON. . . . CAHILL. . . . .AGGER. . . . . .GIBBS

. . . . . . . .(KELLY/ SHAWCROSS/ WILSON). . . . . . .
CARRAGHER


. . . . . . . . . . . .M'VILA/ LUCAS/ GERRARD. . . . . . . .

A.JOHNSON. . . . MEIRELES. . .WILSHERE. . . TURAN.

. . . . . . . (COADY, ADAM, SHELVEY, N'ZOGBIA). . . . .


. . . . . . .CARROLL. . . . . . . . . . . .SUAREZ. . . . . .

(WICKHAM, N'GOO, KUUYT, STERLING, SUSO)

Just Fantasy Football really, but with a large dollop of wishful-thinking. . The future's bright, the future's RED! !

To be honest the right back position belongs to Kelly.

Glen Johnson should be employed as a right sided midfielder or filling in for Kelly if he gets injured.

Johnsons versitility will be a useful tool for LFC. He can cover right back and the right wing along with potentially covering the same positions on the left flank.

Hi to all you reds! the night doctor here. gooner in peace! congrats to you all for sundays victory over manure. i was jumping just as high as you when you scored! personally i think the first goal was brilliant! what a run by LS.
like one of your posters said a bit ago. lucky it wasnt webb or clattenburg (aint that some kinda cake) they surely would have sent JC off. . and probably disallowed the second goal for some stupid reason. you know. . nani to kuyt means its offside, cos fergie (miserable git) says he's deflected his header back. . tosser! anyway liverpool played em off the park as far as i could make out! and can one of you scouse lads answer me this. .do any of you actually rate rooney. its funny how every transfer window all europes top and chelski say they're gonna buy xxx, xxx and xxx. . but nobody ever mentions rooney. it seems to me hes overated here and for some reason the press and tv make him out to be some kind of superstar. i certainly dont. to me he has less impact in a game than many others unless you take account of the obsenity lessons he hands out via the tv. anyway good luck for the rest of the season (bar 1 fixture) . and heres something i think you ought to know. . with the way youre playing now under Dalgleish, i believe that you're now in the position to reclaim your place at the top (well 2nd to us) in the league. i think next season you'll be a bigger threat than manure. fergies time is coming to an end. lets all sing together now. your gonna win f**k all man u.

Sorry, i meant "The Night Doctor" - was thinking of something else there lol!
And to answer your question:
In my opinion Rooney is a good player on his day but Manure may well have seen the best of him already!
May well have peaked before all his ankle injuries (they may have taken their toll mentally & physically) & i seriously doubt his motivation if i'm honest! I might well be wrong but i get the feeling he's just going through the motions as they say. But i've been sooo wrong before so wouldn't be arrogant enough to say this is a definite thing.
And all the STD''s / STI's he has picked up wouldn't help either - too itchy to play at 100% lol!
Cheers,
