it's not a stab at anyone but at thhe failing system.

made me spit my tea out

Over-rated? Hardly. He never played as well as he can for Chelsea due to the way that team is set up.When he played internationals, the players would be looking to get the ball to him whenever possible and let him do his thing.Pacy, tricky , hard to dispossess, rarely wasted a ball... he wasn't overrated but now the shoulder injury has pretty much ruined him.I can understand why he wouldn't be the same player because he was being constantly fouled and taken out of it by opposition who couldn't deal with him - his injury has taken alot of his confidence.

What he is saying is, although from time to time Anfield won't always sell out to less glamourous games such as Portsmouth. If there are consistently seats available this will promote the culture of match going frequently, to those who do without mostly.Currently the mindset is probably "won't get tickets .. anfield will be full". With the following Liverpool have it shouldn't be a problem.

They are to the premiership what Sunderland were a few years ago.Although Bolton seem to be playing more like a rugby team while Sunderland were run of the mill long ballers.

"I'm greedy and I like it" How apt and +bonus points for getting salif diao in there.

Somebody who is going to draw all the attention away from Alonso and Gerrard. Alonso in particular, if a team is more concerned with nullifying a high profile forward..well the trade off is going to be Xabi with free reign to pass the ball where and how he likes.

He's thinking of Saudi Arabia which is under the control of a brutal regime. I'll be honest when I heard rich arab investors I was thinking the saudis aswell and had big reservations but the emirates are ok I suppose.

No Lampard? Surely you jest

Gobsh*te -ery at it's finest

No it's not obscure. I have read a couple of mainstream media articles about how he came to acquire those assests.I believe there was also a BBC documentary about it aswell.

It's starting to resemble it in terms of quality as well mind.

Makes no difference, since the one you highlight is a minor one. The team is playing garbage and has some players who aren't and won't be good enough.

how did fowler play? He was pretty poor the last time I saw him.Kind of need him to pick up some form what with Bellamy not scoring.

The system would work if they were better players implementing it, but that could be argued of any system.

I'd sell them for some magic beans.

That's a zinger alright.

I'm with ye, this guy needs time and games. That said his delivery was f***ing shocking. The critiscism is lingering from his previous games. I said it before that we are going to be waiting a few months until he will come into form and when the weather warms he'll be flying.

I hope you're right because he is quick and doesn't get moved off the ball easily like other people I won't name ..... Jermaine Pennant! Oh and Garcia isn't a wide player so that won't solve the problem.Although I want him in the team in some form so play him where-ever.

I completely agree with you Kev about Gerrard. How is supposed to do anything with sub standard gash around him. Try to create an opening with a quick one - two .... only the player he passes to is Pennant and he's f***ing rubbish so we lose possession and are now exposed to a counter...

Ok lets not lose the head completely

Probably because our only failing was lack of width in the play.

I missed that, I was too enthralled watching the kettle boil up some water Honestly Andy my opinion would be the same. I've read people opining that the difference with him and Ciise as pacy strikers is his overall contribution ( possibly better technique and finishing incl. ). I'd genuinely love to see the big difference he made with his overall game.
