Tusky

It's crap that there's no 3pm game as usual on Setanta...must be something stupid in the contract that they can only show these games on Saturdays?:(

Fairly silly the way the packages are split up but they have to be carved up some way and there's no way to please everyone.

At least the games against citeh and luton are being televised. Don't think the Wigan game between 'em is though. After that I think we've to wait until the Villa game on Jan 21st for another televised game.

Bring back ART ..

On behalf of everybody at Liverpool Football Club I'd like to wish all our supporters a very happy christmas.

Wherever you're enjoying today's festivities, I hope you have a great time with your friends, family and loved ones. Hopefully we can give you all a belated present tomorrow with three points at Derby County.

This is always a very busy and important period of the Premier League season with lots of games in a short space of time, but I am confident we have the players and the quality within the squad to cope with the challenges which lie ahead and keep our title dreams alive going into the new year.

When I wrote this time last year I said I was sure we had made progress - and the same applies this time around.

In my mind there is no doubt we have a better squad now than twelve months ago, we have more quality all over the pitch and I am convinced we are continuing to take the club in the right direction.

It has been a year which has seen us again qualify for the Champions League through our league position, we've reached another European final and of course we have recently booked our place in the last sixteen of this season's competition.

We have been able to improve the squad by bringing in a number of top class players, all of whom have shown their ability and their desire to play for this great club.

The Premier League is tougher to win than ever before and I think the race could go down to the wire this year. Points are being won and lost every week by the top teams and if that continues then there's no doubt we're in for an exciting second half of the season.

We are closer than we have been over recent years at this stage and that, to me, highlights the improvements we have made. We have a squad of players with great hunger and a determination to succeed and I can promise you that we will all be doing everything we can to give ourselves the best possible chance of enjoying a successful season.

It just remains for me to again wish you a merry christmas, to pass on my appreciation for the fantastic support you have given the club during 2007 and to pass on my thanks for all the christmas cards I have received over the last few weeks from all over the world.

I hope you all have a great 2008.

Regards,

Rafa.

Gawd bless the Squire! (but please Rafa pick your strongest 11 to start tomorrows game).

Mike.

Thanx 4 The Fish

And merry christmas all ye Kopites.

Thanx

Is the match on tv?

Actually, what matches are on tv?

ShiverinEskimo

West Ham v Reading at 13:00
Pompey v Arsenal at 19:45

I'm lucky enough to be able to see Sunderland v Man U at some ungodly hour here in Auckland.

Tough being a football fan at GMT+13.00

Tusky

Liverpool game not on tv. Will have to find a stream.

mayordenis

i believe in you tusky

mike65

I'm more concerned with the starting 11 to be honest.

Mike.

Yep, it sure is.

Getting out of bed to read text messages :eek:

My prediction anyway is;

Reina
Arbeloa
Hypia
Carra
Aurelio
Riise
Alonso
Gerrard
Babel
Voronin
Crouch

Would be ok with that once Torres is on the bench. Its the only realistic option he could be left out of with Man City and Wigan in the next few days.

mike65

Crouch is suspended ya dope!

Nah prefer Torres to start then get subbed at half-time 2 up.

Mike.

mayordenis

i want torres to get the golden boot so lets get him starting today :P

Oh bugger yeah forgot! Thats a -1 for fantasy Rafa anyway!
In that case Voro and Torres.

Bugger, would have been a ten if not for forgetting about crouchy

Nice to see Finnan is finally back fit again.

Mr Alan

any links for the game lads?

mike65

I hear Derbys keeper injured himself in the warm up (that one a Manc board so it must be true!)

Mike.

Unearthly

Soccer Saturday said Torres is on the bench

EDIT: Just corrected themselves

The sopcast Star Sports SEA one on Rojadirecta is working perfectly for me (currently showing the Spurs game, but due to change after), with english commentary.

thanks folks

Goal Torres

Unearthly

Torres with a great goal apparently

Skittlebrau

Lovely goal. Torres beat 2 and tucked it into the corner with his left.

We're playing way too many long balls though.

el rabitos

really classy goal from torres that.

PHB

From the BBC:

Fernando Torres opens the scoring for Liverpool with a superb individual goal. He manages to persuade Darren Moore to fall on his backside with a swivel of his Spanish hips and then closes in on goal before slotting home with style.

that sounds all kinds of wrong

Thanx 4 The Fish

Carra nearly scored a beaut there.. Would have been his best ever (not much competition mind )

Tusky

I only tuned in just after the goal. Liverpool playing pretty poorly but Derby are even worse. Didn't see the Torres goal.

[edit] Just saw it on the reply. Amazing goal!

mayordenis

great goal not much else other than that though liverpool looking pretty disinterested

Tusky

Torres has scored more goals than Derby this season! Liverpool looking pretty bad thus far though. They should kill the game off and then give Gerrard & Torres a rest for City.

zing

Yossi on for Hypia. Tactical or injury ? BBC saying injury ? Watching it but had left the pc for a min

Tusky

We seem to be playing 3-4-3...wtf

---

Reina

Finnan

---

Carragher----Aurelio

Benayoun--Alonso--Gerrard--Riise

----Voronin---Torres---Babel

weird

[edit] riise seems to have dropped back to LB with Aurelio at CB and Babel on the left.. ?

PHB

Why is it still only 1-0? Are Liverpool playing badly or are they just not caring and happy with the 1-0?

NotWormBoy

The beeb are saying that Riise is going into the centre of defense? Whats that about? Since I'm watching the Leinster match, I can't check on the Pool game...

Seems to be a bit of both. Not really pushing themselves

Tusky

PHB wrote: »

Bit of both. Liverpool not taking control of the game but Derby dont look very dangerous. As I was writing this Liverpool almost scored.
