Liverpool Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2014 - Mod Note in OP 28/8

There's a flag on the field. Pass interference defence. 12 yard penalty soccer kick, repeat first down.

murpho999

Here's Lambert's chance.

Edit: He's blown it. That will put pressure on him.

Devilman40k

Thought he had 34/34....

Will I Amnt

First miss for Lambert.

Agent Coulson

I called it when he joined that he would miss his first pen for Liverpool.

stampydmonkey

Poor peno. Really hope he scores at some stage tonight after that

DDC1990

Was a bit of a dive from Raheem anyway.

Not great for Rickie's confidence.

klose

Id say ibe will be sticking around next season

Looked like he clipped his own foot alright although first time around it looked a good call.

martyos121

First Caballero, now Abbiati, Lambert just has no luck against bald keepers.

I think he was stood on then took a step and descided to go down.

It was a foul, but also a bit of a dive, like Robben vs Mexico.

stampydmonkey

Milan are unreal disjointed

the incredible pudding

It's a friendly and thus not a blemish on his record nor his confidence. I would imagine he's putting more pressure on himself at the moment. Hopefully Peters can help him feel relaxed, if not Rogers' relaxation mixed tapes will do the trick

MR NINE

Have bets on liverpool -1 and -2

Given the slight criticism i was giving lambert the other day i just knew he was gonna miss. Obviously not gonna hold it against him, missing a peno in a friendly is no big deal. Might affect his confidence a little bit though

Was surprised he didnt take the free kick a few minutes earlier

mada999

Mig's gk jersey looks like it was once white but got put in the wash with a pair of grey and pink panties .....yuk!..... not a fan of the píss yellow jersey either....i like the 3rd black kit though..

klose

Poor ibe getting the sh!te kicked out of him

Kerrigooney

I hope Can comes on for the second half. He's looked really good in the games I've seen him in so far.

Raif Severance

Niang is the only Milan Player who's playing with effort.

Everyone else looks Disinterested.

stampydmonkey

What's with all the mc hammer haircuts?

Slattsy

Joe Allen, having a stormer.

DDC1990

Great tackle Joe Allen.

martyos121

Getting really sick of the commentators pronouncing Jordan Ibe's name wrong.

I'd expect this from BT Sport, but not from you Sky Sports. Not from you...

Morzadec

Will Ibe go out on loan again this year or do we think he could play a part in the first team?

A few glimpses of his quality tonight, I certainly think he could be a good squad option.

But if a good loan opportunity came up for him it'd be great to see what he could do. Would be nice if a prem team wanted to take him

jenno86

Joe Allen is all over the place.

In a good way.

I would hold onto him, dont have many pacey wingers around and hes well able for the physicality. Think he could have a part to play this year

Getting stuck in at the end there as well. He's a terrier.

Mr Magnolia

I'd love to see Ibe getting a few games at the front end of this season.

The problem is, typically that is how you pronounce Ibe. They fact that he chooses to pronounce it like "Eyeb" is whats confusing people. A bit like the James "Hamez" crap going on during the world cup.

Its Ebay isnt it?

Do you know many People with that surname? I think the fella would know the correct pronunciation considering it is his actual name.

Dont see what joe allen brings to the team. Not judging him on the pre season but since he joined. Just dont get him at all. Was hoping he would move on this summer

LMAO, thanks for that

Why is it crap? That's how it's pronounced where he comes from. Like "Jesus" being pronounced "Heysus".

Kirby

Slattsy wrote: »

That's the way its usually said but Jordan has said he pronounces it differently. So commentators will eventually get it.

I still chuckle at least seasons "Dick-a-Choi" suddenly becoming "De-cash-we" when they realised their mistake.

Kerrigooney wrote: »

Because his father was a fan of Bond. Making it James...not Hamez.

To be fair to the ham man, Spanish speaking people tend to pronounce their J's that way.

Ye seen him play in the aviva and he looked streets ahead of everyone, including borini etc:
They seem scared of him and sterlings pace, last year all we had from the bench was moses mainly. But ye if he stays or goes on loan ill kinda be happy either way- go Ibe

K-9

Great to see Allen doing well, I expect him to step up this season.

Really? Ha. I did not know that.

Dirk Kuyt was a commentator pronunciation that always irritated me, very rarely correct

Wow, you sound very cultured. Have you ever been abroad?

Kirby

Don't forget Dzeko. He was "zeko" for ages before they moved on to "Jecko!"

murpho999 wrote: »

Im just not ignorant. If my second name is Smith and I want to pronounce it "symth" I can, but people are going to get it wrong everywhere I go. If Jordan pronounces his name differently, hey its his name. Go nuts. But commentators will get it wrong.

Anyway, the only people seemingly upset about it are Liverpool fans. the man himself doesn't seem to care.

The city is already on tenderhooks waiting for the first meeting between Purple Aki and either Sakho or Lukaku. Some Mario madness mixed on top of that in would be more than the city could survive

I can imagine an anchorman/spiderman faceoff as the 3 of them meet. As they battle for supremacy with a game of tennis ball solo challenge, an awful accident happens due to them inhaling asbestos from the gaffs just torn down to make way for the new stand. They merge into the purplest headed, adidas wearingest, bicep squeezzingest, world class defender, dreadlocked goalscoer and rapist extraordinaire!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Purpakhuku!!

Despite a dream start, It all went pear shaped after 2 games. It was the stuff of dreams as Purpakhuku was solely responsible for 2 clean sheets at one end, and netting 14 times in consecutive games against Manchester United and Leicester City. The honeymoon was soon over.

In a hotly contested affair, when Liverpool faced Barca in the champions league, it all changed. Whilst Purpakhuki was marking suarez, the Uruguayan reacted furiously to having his bicep measured, and as is tradition by now, sunk his teeth into Purpakhuku. As per his MO, Purpakhuku saw this as a sign that the Barcelona Man wanted sexual intercourse. The fans could hardly believe it when Purpakhuku proceeded to pin the south american to the ground, and give him what can only be described as a very tight man to man marking. With no clothes on. And lubricant.

FIFA will meet next week to discuss the incident, as Purpakhukus lawyers insist that there is no rule against rape in the rules of the game.

Meanwhile, Luis Suarez recovers in the Butt Hosptial de Catalunya, where is hole is expected to make a full revovery within 10 weeks. It has also been confirmed that he is expecting triplets and will be due at Christmas.

Purpakhuku Ladies and Gentlemen!

Drunk/stoned post alert!

klose

In fairness i pronounced it eye-b until i saw a video of him pronouncing it himself last summer, trevor francis calling him ebay was an odd one though.

Good post but you've either taken too many drugs or not enough.

MR NINE

I think it's a win win either way with ibe. He certainly seems to be good enough to get into our matchday squads often enough this season and could definitely have a positive impact and potentially have a breakthrough season. Alternatively, if we can find a team in the prem that would play him regularly it'd be great to see him get a full season of top flight football and see what he can do

Suso on

Hamez is the correct phonetic spelling of the Spanish name James. Just because they are the same letters does not dictate the English pronunciation.

As a matter of interest, how do you pronounce (Thierry) Henri's name? Henry anyone?

MR NINE

Excited to see suso in action this half, he's in a similar position to ibe regarding a possible loan imo

Slattsy

Mario out to impress Brendan in this 45 - expect fireworks!!
