our play from set pieces is horrible

more dreadful play from alonso and Johnson should have scored. great save by Reina

bellamy really should have done better - put through and muscled out of it. like everyone else, not really on his game today

no. another poor set piece and ht

a point would be excellent for them and their best chance of anything more is to hit us on the break or from a set play. the onus is on us, and it is against exactly this type of tactic that we struggle. not least because our set plays our mostly s**** (cue goal?)

lescott is the anti-gerrard with his exceedingly high hairline. looks a real player though.

Riise's a real weak link for me.

'goal' by bellamy was definitely offside

blues**** getting a lot of set pieces around our box

he must be due to tackle someone surely......Johnson maybe. early. hard.

my limited knowledge of such issues suggests that will almost certainly be the case. It therefore begs the question of why the club needs 'external investment' at all. surely the club under present arrangements could secure similar agreements.....is it just a case of needing a completely seperate stadium financing initiative so that the club can still use other revenues to fund transfers wages etc?

exactly. some fans have been critical of the club for saying too little in the past, others hark back to the days when we heard even less. In this instance Parry and the club were untypically forthright and it has backfired badly, almost certainly damaging Parry and Moores permanently regardless of the outcome now.

tough.

STATEMENT FROM DUBAI INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL LLC Dubai International Capital LLC (?DIC?) today announces that it has decided to end negotiations with Liverpool FC & Athletic Grounds plc (?Liverpool?) about a possible investment in the club. Having completed due diligence, DIC submitted a comprehensive offer to the Liverpool board. The offer had been accepted in principle by majority shareholder David Moores. It appears that the Liverpool board and the majority shareholder David Moores were unable to approve these terms in order to allow DIC to make a formal offer to all shareholders. As part of this negotiation and at the request of the Liverpool board, DIC tabled detailed proposals regarding the financing, construction and delivery of the new stadium for the start of the 2009/10 season. In addition, DIC was also prepared to give assurances regarding funding for new players, at levels above what the club had previously budgeted for. However, despite providing all assurances that were requested of DIC, it appears that the Liverpool board was unable to recommend our proposed offer to the shareholders. Sameer Al Ansari, executive chairman and chief executive officer of DIC, said: "We are very disappointed to be making this announcement. DIC is a serious investor with considerable resources at its disposal. At the same time, we are supporters - of the game and of the club. Liverpool's investment requirements have been well publicised and, after a huge amount of work, we proposed a deal that would provide the club with the funds it needs, both on and off the pitch. We were also prepared to offer shareholders a significant premium on the market price of the shares. However, we will not overpay for assets. ?Liverpool is the most successful football club in English football history. It exists to win things for its supporters. It deserves to be in the hands of people who support it, who understand its history and legend and who share the enthusiasm and passion of its fans. As businessmen, we move on. As fans, we hope that the new owners would share the same vision as we had for LFC and, of course, in realising the new stadium that is so badly needed to ensure the club can continue to compete at the highest level in the Premiership and Europe. I am sure I will be back at Anfield with my family soon to support my team, as I have done so in the last 30-plus years. In the meantime, I wish the manager, the players and everyone connected with the club the best of fortune for the challenges ahead and will make sure that I am there the day they lift the Premiership trophy.? end

http://football.guardian.co.uk/Match_Repor...2002533,00.html from the end of the match report: The Anfield board met before the game and while it is yet to receive a formal bid from Dubai International Capital, it is understood to have opted to seek more time as it assesses an approach from the US businessman George Gillett. DIC remains the chairman David Moores' favoured bidder but other shareholders, notably Granada, which owns 9.9%, want to consider a bid which would value shares at nearer £5,000 compared to DIC's £4,500 seems to make sense.

we've been asking for that. feck.

Agger and Carragher seem to be taking it in turns to bomb forward - Carra has had 2 efforts already!
