Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread

raven136

Im not jumping on the Lucas bashing bandwagon,he is 21 and has played 33 times for the club(numerous as sub).
He is not primarlily a defensive midfielder and was described as quite a coup for Liverpool to get him.
He was/is one of the highest rated young players in Brazil and was voted player of the tournament in the Brazil and the youngest player ever to win this honour.
Since when does less than 40 games decide if player is good enough or not,and remember he is a kid.
I have great hope and in a couple of years time when he is 24 or so we could be looking at a real star,give the guy a break.

Where is redspider gone to there has not been a post since the start of the month? - I always thought his post were well reasoned even if I didn't agree with all of the points of view raised.

Would be interesting to see what the verdict on the Manchester/CL games was.

ibh

The next time Kuyt's name is mentioned in relation to a transfer, a new thread will be started.
Be warned.....:pac:

MementoMori

With Lucas anyone think it might be worth playing him in the centre of the three in a 4-2-3-1 maybe in one of the cups?

Trying to figure out the team for the Stoke game for Fantasy Rafa is going my head in. Trying to weigh the balance of resting some players versus the need to make sure the three points are picked up is damm tricky.

IrishMike is another who has jumped ship (or was he pushed?)

Mike.

Whats with all this defecting to other forums?

Surely the juvenile rants that occupy the liverpool thread are all that we need.

They'l be back. They will miss the bickering.

They will miss the way a poster with a post count of 87 inadvertently says something bad about a liverpool player and how the liverpool "faithfull" descend on him with teeth bared and keyboards armed.

They'l be back.

jesus_thats_gre

I just don't like the IrishKop forums for some reason. Will be staying here me thinks.

Cause its just pathetic having to look at the ramblings of people like boggles and noodler etc who dont have a clue what they are talking about, just coming into threads looking for a reaction. A lot of decent lads who follow Liverpool have stopped posting in here.

Now that's not true Melion.

Noodler is an expert on Degen, and Boogles knows more about the difference between left and right than anyone else!;)

gixerfixer

Im on Irishkop as well as here. I tend to post there more often than here due to the amount of complete planks who are on the Liverpool forum for one reason and thats to stir sh*te (you know who you are). Just dont get it. I never post on the man u thread or most other teams for that matter as i dont really give two ***** about those teams. Still at least we can get a good laugh from them . There is actually one poster here who posts on the Liverpool thread nearly as much as he does his own teams thread.:rolleyes: Obsessed much?

missingtime

They post here because they get a reaction.

Just ****ing ignore them.

I dont understand it. Its so obvious.

Hey, he ruled the roost in the UEFA cup the other night.
Playing in the exact role the Stevie G plays for us.

I never once said he was worldclass (come on like!:P).
I simply stated (correctly) that he's an attacking midfielder.

Thank God, thought something happened you. Usually your stalking posts are far more immediate.

I don't know if it has been said but Gerrard is going for is 100th goal tommorow, odds are shíté thou at 7/4, would have been worth a punt otherwise.

Karmafaerie

We'd all miss Boogles if he left.
I mean, the Liverpool thread is the fastest thread here, and at least quarter of that is down to Boogles.
He can make one post and have a dozen people respond to it before he gets a chance to post again.

'tis a rare talent!:)

I remember going to lunch once, and coming back 30 mins later and the thread had jumped forward 4 pages!:p

Its hard to post anything relevant about football when sifting through all the bollox you've posted before hand.

Mr Alan

SoS have held a 4 hour meeting with Rafa in the last couple of days, discussing their worries about the club. More details will follow i'm sure. But one of the reps said;

one thing to say though - this man loves the football club more than we can imagine

They really are making leaps and bounds for a group that was set up so recently.

mayordenis

after just over 5 months without tv I've managed to get Sky Digital HD - with every ****ing channel they over and the setanta package - hooked up to my tv via HDMI and I am goinging to enjoy the match and relax in comfort. now only 3 more hours of work to kill.

business which ur at lately. its real like "no way girlfriend" stuff.

Mr Alan

should have rotated more today

Melion

Alan you killed the thread, well done

So, teams for Crewe?

Cavalieri

Degen
Insua
Agger
San Jose

Plessis
Spearing

El Zhar
Pacheco
Yossi

Keane(just to get him off the mark)/Nemeth

mike65

Bench - Reina, Skrtel, Riera, Alonso, Gerrard, Kuyt, Babel (just in case!)

Mike.

missingtime

Can see Riera and Keane getting a start. As well as Alonso.

Chardee MacDennis

lets hope we put out a good team, a comfortable win would be nice for once!

Guy:Incognito

I'd start Alonso (probably his best chance of a goal from his own half this season ) and definately Keane so he can have a good shout at a goal, especially as he was so poor yesterday.

zAbbo

Missed the game at the weekend, but caught some highlights, didn't look like we played too badly.

A bit doom and gloom in some reports, Glanced at someone's S*n in from of me this morning, and there was a usual dig at the reds.

Still 11 points from 15 is good and the unbeaten run continues even when we're not firing on all cylinders.

The incoming players have yet to gel, and I'm still optimistic, I think too many people (media/other fans) are looking to the end of the season, when it's still only September. We're taking one game at a time, and if we can get a good run together we should do well.

I don't see this squad fearing anyone, but they do need to get that killer instinct back from last season.

Mr Alan

also worth pointing out that rafas team against stoke was pretty much the strongest available. he's going for it this year.

Mr Alan

not sure if this was mentioned here (did i mention it?)

Benitez meets with SOS
Sep 20 2008 by Tony Barrett, Liverpool Echo

RAFA BENITEZ has met with representatives from the Spirit of Shankly to outline his vision for the future at Liverpool.

The Reds boss held lengthy talks with four leading members of SOS at Melwood on Thursday afternoon and he described the meeting as “very positive”.

Benitez told SOS that he wants to give Liverpool’s fans greater opportunities to watch the club’s young players developing by having stands built at the Academy in Kirkby.

And he also told them of his happiness at Anfield and of his desire to lead Liverpool to even greater success in the years to come.

“It was a very positive meeting and I explained how happy I am with the new staff – Sammy, keeping the spirit of Shankly alive – but also Pellegrino, Paco de Miguel and Xavi Valero for their new ideas,” said Benitez.

“We were also talking about the future and I told them about my idea to build stands at the Academy so that our fans can go to Kirkby to see the reserve team and the players.

“These are things that can improve the spirit of the club but also improve the experience of the players so that they know that they are with a top club with a lot of tradition and a great history.

“We were also talking about ideas to improve the club, trying to be positive and work together.”

The talks with Benitez were the latest in a trio of appointments that SOS have had with senior Liverpool officials, following on from earlier meetings with owner George Gillett and chief exec Rick Parry.

In what is a clear sign of the progress the fans union has made since being established earlier this year, it is also apparent that SOS is being taken seriously by club officials and the manager

anyone on RAOTL check out the threads involving Bascombe from sunday. some ****ing messy situation.

jaykay74

On paper you'd say same ol Liverpool as the last number of years dropping points against inferior opposition who have no ambition other than to keep a clean sheet. The reality I think at the weekend is that Liverpool made the chances to win the game and just didn't take them. small setback but things are still looking bright for them. Keane needs a goal though, his lack of goals is beginning to drag on a bit.

mike65

Mr Alan is starting to repeat himself (first sign of ga-ga!)

Mike

Mr Alan

tell me about it Mike, turned 24 yesterday and i think i am going soft in the head already, can only imagine wat you're like at this stage

Karmafaerie

Just so you know, AFAIK the 7 subs rule doesn't work in the domestic cups.
Just the Prem and Europe.
Only 5 on the bench.

That team is a bit too weak IMO

Cavalieri

Degan
Insua
Hyypia
Agger

Plessis
Lucas

Yossi
Gerrard
Pennant

Keane

Boom_Bap

Not sure if Pennant is going to get a run out. I think he's just going to be sitting on the sidelines until he figures out its time to accept an offer that is received for him.

I'd like to see him doing well at Liverpool, if he got his act together and showed some form having him on the right would be a huge advantage.
