Leo No.8

Fantastic keeper - I haven't felt as confident in any keeper as long as I've been watching Liverpool. He comes across very well in this interview as well - very much a 'Liverpool player'. Down to earth and professional. We really need a song for him - even if it's just 'Spain's Number One'!

Taylor has been superb for Brum - he just had one of those rare dodgy nights on Tuesday, and happily it was against us. As you said Stuff, he has games when he seems like he's unbeatable. Crossley is like that sometimes as well - that game he had against Newcastle last year being a prime example...

Everyone is talking about our strikers finding form, but in all honesty nothing much has changed. Moro has scored 2 tap-ins, Crouch has been great in general as he has for most of the season, but he's had a bit of luck with his finishing; his header for the second against Brum was woeful but Taylor somehow let it in. Then you have Cisse who has scored a pen and profited from another keeping blunder. Keepers seem to have been having blinders all season against us - they've just started letting them in! In all honesty its not a lot to do with the strikers - the same player who has been driving us all season has been doing so as normal in the last two games. Gerrard has been so much better than anyone else on the pitch with him it's untrue; he basically created or had a big part in 4 out of the 5 goals before he went off against Brum.

Pepe is our best keeper in a long, long time I reckon. He's ace...

Wow - this one actually takes making stuff up to a new level.

An alternative headline for Capeling's latest offering: 'BITTER BLUE IN REINA STRAW-CLUTCHING SHOCKER'...

It'd be interesting to know just what Figger's role has been in his move...

Funniest thing for me was Bruce's chubby cheeks getting rosier and rosier as the goals went in. I'm sure it was the cold, but it looked for all the earth like embarrassment! It looked like his big fat meat-head was going into meltdown...

Gerrard gets to run at defenders more when he plays on the right, and he looks frighteningly good when he does that. I can't understand this obsession with him playing in the middle - I actually think he gets to influence our attacking play more when he's out wide. He gets more space to run into, and his delivery on the run is as good as anyone's in the game. It seems to me like a lot of people believe the best player should always play in the middle no matter what...

In recent weeks we've played two teams I've thought were pretty woeful in Fulham and Birmingham. On both ocassions though, there has been a player who has stood out a mile from the rest of the side; Pennant at Brum and Malbranque at Fulham. Both players showed some fantastic skill and quality at times in the games, but whenever they went past someone, opened up some space or put a great ball in they were left wanting for support. There were a number of times when I thought 'imagine how good he'd be with better players around him'. I think both players would be great options in the summer; Pennant I like a bit more as a player, Malbranque as a professional. If Rafa is confident he can handle Pennant I'd have a preference for him...

I think he did as well - we kicked off after their goal, and Rushie scored directly from a long ball by the much maligned Julian Dicks!

Ah fair enough - first hand experience is good enough for me! He may be here next season, so I hope you're right and his attitude is OK...

Funny enough I actually heard Bent interviewed on R5 the other week. He came across as a very down to earth, well spoken lad actually. He was talking about his world cup hopes etc, saying he's still got a huge amount to learn and although he's hoping to go he isn't expecting to etc. Certainly seemed a Liverpool player in terms of personality. Defoe on the other hand is supposed to be an arrogant little chap...

Personally - I think someone's jealous... :Herbielovesbananas3:

It was Romario talking about Zenden... I'd actually say one of our reported targets, Kuyt, is not *that* dis-similar to Ashton but a bit quicker, has an even better nose for goal, international and European experience and is generally a better all-round player IMO... We've got to aim high this summer on the striker front - I'd certainly want us to be in for Kuyt myself.

Personally, I think Adebayor is cack. He really is another Kanu - skilful, but overall fairly ineffective. Strange buy I thought...

I can see him walking round local parks and gardens, shaking his fist in fury when benches fail to acknowledge his presence.... 'I demand the respect of benches!' Ha ha - brilliant! Remember when he accused Henchoz of 'spitting' as him, ie spitting when he was within 20 yards of him- complete tool.

Classic Rainier Wolfcastle!

Sensai RP has indeed spoken Big Stuff. Coming soon - if Dean Ashton falls in the woods, does he make a sound...?

You're not fretting again are you Kev? The latest update of 'Kev's worries' involves the lack of substancial evidence regarding investment in Liverpool FC, whether Momo's protective glasses will withstand the game tonight, medical testing and the hazards it presents, the huge reduction in the size of Chad's largest lake and the effects on the local fishermen, human cloning, the lewd nature of the grafitti on the bus stop at the end of his road, and the hole which has appeared in the rear of his favourite pair of Y-fronts. Stop worrying mate, you'll have us all at it...

As soon as I saw Rafa say in the media 'we may well stick with the same formation from Newcastle' I thought 'my a*** you will you sly old dog Rafa'...

It's be like that scene from The Simpsons when Homer has been told his great aunt has died and left them an inheritance... Rafa: 'We're going to have to sell you Djibril, we've had an offer of 14 million Euros *quietly whilst pretending to sob* woo-hoo, I'm really sorry to let you go, woo-hoo...

Who said you weren't a team player - recommending your own replacement...
