This one from his q and a with reporters at melwood today reprinted on the offish is good value You mentioned Gerrard is a doubt - what is the problem? He has a neck problem. Yesterday in training he scored three or four goals with his head so at the end he had a problem.

I noticed after Walcott goal and the four defenders were celebrating as if the tie was over. Toure and Gallas embracing in the centre circle as if the full-time whistle had just gone

Speaking of LFC TV. Am I the onyl here who can't get audio on the channel at all except for Premier League games when I can only hear crowd noise and not the commentary?

Alves update My friend and work colleague met him ten days in Seville. He told him he was learning English and his preferred destination was Liverpool. Apparently, Kanoute had been recommending Liverpool as the best English club to go to because of the fans. Not sure how this links in with the Rafinha rumours but maybe they could be both emplyoed down the right

I've been impressed overall and he's essential to our current set-up. When Gerrard, inevitably, picks up possession when we break out his out ball almost every time is wide to Babel for him to stretch the opposition defence which he generally does well. He does tend to cut inside too much but then again now and again he unleshes a piledriver when he does so. I'm sure he'd also benefit from having an overlapping gullback to back him up.

Had to watch on Sky with Gray the less biased option. Bizarre that he is actually an Arsenal employee.

A bit CLANG I admit. I'm in Liverpool next week for the match so might get in town there or find somewhere here

Anyone know anything about where best to get a signed shirt framed? Got a personally signed Torres one today Perfect timing

I agree. He came in on a free as fourth choice and has been better than expected. The unfortunate thing is that he had a few bad games just before getting injured so no one remembers the good games like when he ran the show in the 8-0 against Besiktas

good stuff hagi

He said Dunne, Duff, Keane, Doyle, Ireland and maybe more would get in the team.

He actually played left back, right midfield, left midfield and left back again in the course of the game. Great attitude but I reckon he could easily play until 46 in Serie A as it seems, on the evidence of this game, to be played at walking pace. I would not write them off completely. Zlatan is unpredictable and ccan conjure up anything They look well organised and dangerous from set-pieces

Typically I was in Milan three days too early and took in Inter's games v Reginna on Saturday. Again, though they won 2-0 against their Serie B-bound opposition, they do not look a good side. Unsurprisingly, they got gifted a dodgy penalty and scored from a free kick which was also dubiously awarded. Their defence has real problems. With Samuel, Cordoba and Chivu out, they played with Maicon right back, Burdisso and Materazzi in the middle and Zanetti at left back. Maicon spent the whole game going forward and not tracking back so left a big gap behind. Burdisso is a natural right back and he spent most of the game drifting out there eitehr bcause of his poistional sense or to cover for the missing Maicon. He looked like a fish out of water and the few times Reginna deigned to attack, thge looked like scoring and spurned three of four clear chances. There was also plenty of space on the right wing with Zanetti - a great pro and a good player - out of position at left back. He is veray right-footed and again inclined to get sucked in. On Wednesday, Materazzi is suspended too but Chivu might be back. Either way, they are likely to have Burdisso in the middle again and Torres could wreak havoc. Julio Cesar made some fine saves. In the middle, Cambiasso stayed deep with Vieira palying more box to box and looking in better shape than at Anfield. Jimenez impressed be as their best atatcking midfielder with Stankovic out of sorts. They lack width, however, with only Maicon raiding forward on the right providing any. Figo came on in the second half and is expected to start on Tuesday. But he does not look fit and his loss of space saw him booked for a late tackle when his body got him to the ball a lot later than his mind thought he'd be there. Up front, Crespo partnered Zlatan. Zlatan dropped deep and found plenty of space and dispatched his penalty well. He showed some good flicks and touches but never have I seen a palyer look so disintered as he did in the second half. He spent most of the time standing alone with his hands on his hips and he put about five or six passes straight to the opposition, prompting plenty of boos. Sub Suazo, who came on for Crespo who picked upa head injury and is doubtful, has pace and can beat defenders but little game sense so his passing decisions were terrible. Overall impression was that the pace of the game is so slow comapred to Premier League. A presisng high tempo game should work on Tuesday with Masch shadowing Zlatan when he drops deep. And we should be able to create chances against that defence and one goal and its game over.

Seems he was top bloke at the filming Worryingly, the last time he was featured on Training Ground, he scored two own goals in his next two or three games. Unfortunately, the feature wasn't How to Score and own goal And my answer to his questions - about 2 as I've a head like a toblerone
