Agreed. It's not about spending 30m on one player. It's about getting the player necessary to improve your squad. For Liverpool to compete with Chelsea and Manchester United, we need to be bringing in players worthy of playing in their first teams. Although Zenden, Pennant, Bellamy and Robbie (I absolutely feel horrible in adding him to this list because he is a legend) have been great for us this season, we are underdogs for a reason - they were all brought in because of low finances. To truly compete, you need the thoroughly top-class players in the world, hence Shevchenko, Essien and Vidic - not that they're necessarily the best in the world but you need to buy what you need and the best player available at the time. That is what Rafa is frustrated about. P.S. I also think we need to sign Ribery instead of Malouda. He'd help us the way Pires helped Arsenal. He's kind of flown under the radar this season compared to last and wouldn't cost more than Malouda I reckon.

that's phenominal shows how much those c*nts actually f*ckin know

I know plenty who did can't rem their names on here atm.

it's quite simple really - Alonso offers more than Masch going forward and we needed to get back in the match at that point.

I think we should go with - - - - - - - - - Reina - - - - - - - - Alves - - Carra - - Agger - - Riise - - - - - - Alonso - Masch - - - - - - - - Gerrard - - Tevez - - Kewell - - - - - - - - - - Eto'o/Villa - - - - - - - That would allow us to switch to 4-4-2 quite readily and 3-5-2 with Alves bombing down the wing. I don't see us bringing in 4 first team players unless we assume Simao wouldn't be first choice.

the two players i suggested had a higher chance of leaving both left... thats good enough for me

looks like i was right

Enter Voronin, Lucas, Alves and Tevez. In fact, I'd go so far as saying Alves won't even be here next season. Cue Voronin, Lucas, Eto'o and Tevez.

Exactly what I'm saying. In fact, with the players I expect Rafa to bring in, we'll be back within 2 years.

plus more time for the substitutions in extra time

it's alright lads... in Rafa we have a manager who will guide us to the finals again in the next few years... guaranteed... this performance will help Rafa get the players he needs this summer even if the pain right now is unbearable... we'll move on and be that much stronger... YNWA

i wouldn't be surprised if bersculoni had a "hand of God" in this game.. take that as whatever you think it means... but the positive thing is that Rafa can now indicate the type of player he needs, who can put away the one chance that comes his way and can change the game

It was quite obvious why Masch got subbed. He offers far more at the back than going forward and Rafa wasn't going to take off Pennant, Harry, Stevie or Dirk. At that point we needed 2 goals so Rafa took off the player that offered the least going forward. He was absolute quality today but the substitution logically made sense.

Was Inzaghi's first goal a handball?

hold your head up high......

I thought Harry would start with Zenden coming off the bench. It would make more sense if it went into extra time as Bolo's one of our 5 penalty kickers. Surprising Zenden is starting to be honest. They don't like to listen I guess. If they'd only allocated enough tickets there wouldn't be this havoc.

I thought we'd play both Kuyt and Crouch. I'm surprised Pennant is starting.

according to liverpool.no, starters are Reina Finnan Carragher Agger Riise Pennant Mascherano Alonso Zenden Gerrard Kuyt

according to liverpool.no, the rags were right... Reina Finnan Carragher Agger Riise Pennant Mascherano Alonso Zenden Gerrard Kuyt

Nobody! We can take them again in 2007!

AND DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK

WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH A STORM

why is Finnan the only one without the jacket? pic 101

this has to be the raunchiest thread ever
