Mr Alan

thanks for that. as i thought, a struggling wit injuries, in a struggling team, Torres is still a match for anyone. exceptional player.

The stats for Torres are better, considering how good looking he is

Mr Alan

true dat betty.

That Hazzard guy looks very like a rafa type player

Mr Alan

we couldn't afford him, valued at 20m plus.

ShamoBuc

That's a back handed compliment if I ever saw one.

SlickRic

offside, but still, worst attempt ever at a finish there diggler.

Where did you get those stats?

They were posted on another forum when I googled goals/min ratio.

Can't find anything else concrete.

I suspect they might be league only stats

SlickRic

nice skill from Babel.

loses it due to no support.

works his ass off and gets it back.

i continue to like the attitude.

Well they are definitely league only stats.
I was genuinely curious if a site with stats like that exists though.

whatawaster

what i don't understand is why Kuyt and Babel don't switch wings.
With Kuyt, you'll lose little on the left - he's not going to beat his man on the outside anyway. Babel could have another dimension on the RW

Mr Alan

i remember finding a site where it listed the minutes played among the players stats. Can't remember it though, sorry, does exist though.

SlickRic

there is no need to be kicking the ball long.

seriously lads, there's no pressure on the ball from them.

ShamoBuc

Couldn't agree more. Babel can operate on both and has the ability to cause the problems Kuyt can't on that side. Ten mins there might see a cross or two lead to the third.

Just checked they are actually on http://fantasy.premierleague.com/

And yes league stats only

SlickRic

lucas, as good as he was first half, pretty poor this.

kryogen

any sign that Lille are gonna plunder a 89th minute goal to crush morale a bit lower?

ShamoBuc

Alonsoesque Mascherano!!

Mr Alan

not been great the last 15 mins alright.

sssshhhhhhh

copacetic

ffs, the commentators started this 'Lille have done nothing and Liverpool have been much the better side' at about this stage last week too, then once Lille scored they had 'great tactics' and deserved the win.

The way Liverpools season has gone we desperately need the 3rd goal, before they score the sucker punch goal in last 5 minutes.

Stevecw

Dropping too deep now, we have lost that new signing the attacking adventurous Lucas guy we had in 1st half...now we just have the defensive guy who is giving the ball away a bit too often.

Well afraid of a sneaky Lille goal in last 20 mins, its heading that way

SlickRic

nah.

they're pretty toothless.

so yeah, i fancy them to get one.

Insua is giving me the odd nightmare now and again.

MementoMori

Assuming Torres plays the full 90 tonight and doesn't score again, his minutes per goal stat is 2072 mins played (just over 23 full games) 16 goals scored => one goal every 129 mins so far this season

Assuming a full 90 tonight and no more goals, he has scored 66 goals in 111 appearances for Liverpool.

He has played 8424 mins for Liverpool (the equivalent of just over 93 and a half games). He has scored an average of a goal every 127 mins on the pitch.

kingshankly

Definatly need a third goal, can see these sneaking one

stop sewing the seeds of doubt.... we have enough of our own

Glico Man

That was very close..... too close

JPA

Wow, that was close.

That_Guy

That would've been a good goal from Lille. Certainly not out of it although that has been their only meaningful attempt of the second half.

kryogen

Im sorry pool fans, i only asked cause i think with the winning line in site that ye might get a bit too defensive and invite pressure

so wondering if it has happened yet, might not get to see the end of the match

Insua looking dodgy alright but he generally does imo.

Need 1 more goal to ease the nerves

ShamoBuc

They only need one, and they will get another few half chances before the finish

ShamoBuc

Insua is normally very good going forward... defensively.... well he is good going forward!

SlickRic

i have to credit to Insua there, did his job well.

lads, this is sh*t.

the midfield are not demanding the ball to settle it down.

Mr Alan

insua did well there. lucas babel and kuyt need to start playin like they did in the first half.

Stevecw

This will be a long 15 mins. Last 5 felt like about 20 already.
Never feel safe when Insua is there, we need to go get the 3rd & finish it...not sit back invite them on.

ShamoBuc

They are seeing too much of the ball now....

C'mon lads, get it together.

We are dropping deeper and deeper

ShamoBuc

the best 5 a side player in the squad is coming on

Benni coming on, good stuff.

Mr Alan

babel or kuyt off for yossi. Or Gerrard even.

whatawaster

this team has been terrified for the last 30 minutes

Babel David NGog according to my commentator:rolleyes:

Stevecw

Good move, getting Yossi on, least he might hold the ball. Babel was at nothing really.

No, I've got Aussies commentating.

Jean Claude Van Dam coming on for Lille. Expect an ass kicking.
