Leo No.8

A Ghanaian take on Sunday 'The majestic Liverpool Lions were unjustly defeated by their inferior opponents Chelsea, as the officials failed to disallow both Chelsea goals on the grounds of them being unworthy of being urinated on by an antelope.'

That would have of course been far more agreeable...

Great player - appalling attitude. He's only about 23 and already been with Ajax, Marseilles, Roma, Spurs. The Egyptian Anelka...

Just a magnificent finish. It was past him almost before he could move, and right in the corner. What more could you want?

I beleive we enquired about him as recently as a couple of months ago, but were told by Bayern he's not for sale. The player was apparently interested.

Like I've said before - I'd liken him to Overmars myself. I knew he was quick, but faster than Cisse... If there's one thing you can say about Djibs, he's lightning fast. Being quicker than him, with Gonzalez's ability on the ball as well, he'll be frightening...

Both have a bit of an attitude, but bags of talent. If Rafa feels he can deal with them, I'd be delighted to see those two at Anfield. I think it'd be a great move for both players as well...

Surely it'd be easy to defend against two strikers with so little pace though. I know both are extremely talented footballers, but I just couldn't see it working; not enough movement.

I'm not in favour of any further technology - refereeing decisions for and against are part and parcel of the unpredictability of football for me. I would certainly support a video evidence crackdown on 'simulation' like Robben's the other day though - I think all the diving and cheating is a far more unsavoury part of the game than refs making the same old mistakes...

I've seen people suggest Fowler and Morientes as a partnership - for me absolutely not I'd say one or the other. There would be such an appalling lack of mobility up front, I just don't think it would work.

An absolute tragedy for football. Someone said it could have been Duncan Edwards lifting the World Cup rather than Bobby Moore had it not been for the Munich disaster. Fate is certainly cruel. May all those who died rest in peace.

Paul Dalglish? That's the main one I don't get. He always looked s**** to me...

Will do mate - cheers!

Thing is though - at the moment he is too ambitious with his passing, which is why (I agree) he gives it away too often. He has only just turned 21 though, which is very raw indeed - fingers crossed he'll learn to play within his limitations in time, and so become a player of similar impact as those I've mentioned above.

That really is good - I'll have to make a point of catching his articles in future...

See what the people here criticising are failing to understand is that a player of his type doesn't need to be able to pass the ball like Alonso. He is a pressuriser, an annoyer, a spoiler who does a tremendous amount of running and stops the opposition from playing. Every great team needs one of those, and look around the world game you'll see all the top teams have one. I lost count of the number of times a Chelsea player would get the ball and be instantly pressed by Sissoko on Sunday - that really does go unappreciated a lot of the time. Was Viera ever a great passer of the ball? Not in particular; Makalele is tidy but doesn't try anything spectacular - its not his job. Some people expect every player to be able to do everything; unfortunately there's only one Steven Gerrard - everyone else has limitations. As long as Sissoko learns to release the ball early and pass it simply, he'll become a vital member of the Rafalution...

Brilliant - you almost wouldn't believe it...but then again you would. Every Geordie I know goes to every game, and somehow still knows f*ck all about the game of football, its like they are missing a certain part of their brain which understands the game...

They'll keep doing it until it gets clamped down on. Amazing how UEFA continue to allow such an unpleasant way of cheating to go unpunished...
