The Liverpool team in full: Reina, Carragher, Insua, Agger, Hyypia, Mascherano, Lucas, Gerrard, Kuyt, Babel, Benayoun. Subs: Cavalieri, Keane, Riera, Alonso, Ngog, El Zhar, Skrtel. From the offal.

I actually thought that Rafas absence made a difference in that we didnt quite adapt to the different conditions of 11 v 10. Until the sending off, our main attacking tactic was to keep the wingers wide to isolate their centre backs (Djorou in particular) and then play it in behind them for Keane or Gerrard to run on to (see the goal and other "hoofs" such as the one in the first half where Keane had to lay it off for Gerrard to shoot tamely). After the sending off, their back four defended deeper leaving no room for those balls, and we didnt seem to come up with any tactics to counter this. With Rafa there, he probably would have given clearer instructions (not sure it would have helped though, see Hull and the likes).

Agreed on both points. Pennant just doesnt understand the new confident keep the ball style of play and Lucas was making brilliant tackles all over the place, seemed really up for it. Babel was good up until his head injury, seemed to knock the steam out of him...

he pushed himself ahead of our two players in front of the wall, meaning that he was standing way closer than he was supposed to. No doubt about that yellow either.

Athletico lost the Madrid derby 2-1 after a 96th minute penalty. Just the one red card each, as well.

thats what you get for driving too far to the right...

Chelsea are surely thinking that it is money well spent (on Man Utd losing Ronaldo)

Isnt Babel going as well?

He's got some weird dreams, that man...

They changed to that formation rather than their usual 4-3-3 just accommodate him, didnt they?

Not offside, Panucci was still active even though he was outside the pitch.

Surely we aren´t signing him? Riise at RB having to use only his right foot would be better...

and you´re playing Torres as an AMC?

so injure Yakubu and they have NO strikers?

Sure. And Bakircioglu. And Cherno Samba. And To Madeira.

he scored for Juve today...

They've done similar before with ex Swedish prime minister Göran Persson. He wasnt best pleased, probably because he couldnt fit into their seats anyway. And he didnt have a fit girlfriend either.

On FM08 or in the real world where he is not even a regular at Villareal?

na, we still need the win.

he probably took the pic himself and sent it to some girl...

what kind of infections do you get? Pyelonephritis? The scarring is from earlier infections, you wont get rid of it. IVU is probably to see if the scarring has lead to obstructions in your urinary tract. If it has, treatment depends on local tradition, but it is possible to expand the obstruction with a balloon.

did the doc have an old ECG to compare with? Cause otherwise there is no way he would have known for sure that it was a heart attack. Also, alcohol doesnt give you a heart attack.

long punt from way inside his own half that bounced over Foster's head...

He is a big Liverpool fan. He is a pundit for CL games in Sweden and makes them show Liverpool quite a lot. And he goes in to a major sulk whenever we are not playing well... He was quite ecstatic in Istanbul as well...
