Berger

Cheer up my day.

Agreed. I think he was schit too and do not fit to be a Liverpool player.

I will stay out from future Barry's debates because I'm so tempted by Downing's proposed move. End.

Just found out we've linked with Downing in case Barry's transfer failed in telegraph, think I'll favour Downing over Barry.

I dont want Insua to be put on part exchange too, when he was never being given a run. So are other reserves. When has the aim of youth systems is to involve them in part exchange deal? It's unfair to them without pull on a Reds shirts.

Barry will bring us more posibility. He can play on the left of 3 midfielder role along with Mascherano and Gerrard with a left foot and he can also swap places with Gerrard with 1 going left, 1 going right; 1 attacking, 1 sitting. He can also allows us to play 4-4-2. When Dossena joined, there will be more possibility and formations. Without leaving Alonso, it isnt possible. We simply need Alonso' funds to finance the transfer. Alonso is a winner and has winner mentality. No Liverpool fan can bring themselves to see him leaving. It will be a sad day.

We should just accept any offer, even 1m, to take Riise off our hand. I dont know why yet Rafael hasnt offered him as part of the player exchange deal in Milner's case. We should rid of him even for free, saving us a hefty wages.

Benayoun has scored hattrick in his first season for a new club and chipped in his fair share of important goals. He is quality but is lightweight and easily knocked off the ball.

I meant play full 3 games, a 3 90 minutes, not appearance come off the bench nor have to come off.

Berger was never given a run of game even like 3 games under Uncle Roy nor Houllier, so how would (or could) we expect him to be consistent. He was given a less chance than a squad player. Homage for him! All the best in Czech.

This is not true. Barry is a scorer who are not limited/relying to scoring from the spot only. Im sure majority of fans are aware of this. He has a consistent goal records for every season. He's more a box to box player. He also played a big part in Villa late surge towards the end of season, helping them to rout other teams.

Why not? Lucas had played a number of games this season including some big game. If Plessis can do no mistakes against Arsenal players, why cant we confident in him playing against other PL teams?

I think the other fans were exaggerating the impact of loss of Alonso like we're going to lose Gerrard. The fact are he maybe a class player, he's dispensible at our club. If Barry could contribute additional 10 goals next season, he already would be a success.

I think Barry would improve our squad big time, so I would like the deal to go through. You cant have both Alonso and Barry, where are Alonso going to play? I can accept one of the option would be to land Barry and while Alonso still has a high market value maybe disposo him is not too that bad an idea. Remember two can only have one.

They both made mistakes. Rafael will learn a lesson from this.

I think Rafael has to be bold enough to bring the ressie through the ranks. So far he only brought Plessie, and that's not good enough for amount of talent youngsters we have. He should have brought more ressie through the ranks by now. We should start to reap the benifits of youth system Rafael set up to bring all the talents worldwide across. The rate Rafael giving the chance to young players are still too slow. I cant wait to see a Nemeth and others debuts.

I actually quite agree. He can take up from Torres and Crouchie as lone striker when they are rested because he has the pace and all the abilities provided he prepares take all the kicks, of course.

I think he got too many unfair sticks. Im very impressed with him and think he's underrated. He has come through a fair share of games like when Alonso were out without getting the plaudits he deserved. Keep it up Lucas!

Assume when we fail to break the opponets down, he'll come on for Kuyt, Babel or Alonso. I have him down as more of a goal threat than Kuyt. He have to play a part in the remaider of the season.

Reina Carra Skrtel Hyypia Finnan/Arbeloa Pennant Gerrard Mascherano Benayoun Crouch Torres My fantasyrafa. Subs: Babel, Itandje, Leiva, Finnan/Arbeloa. Rafael aint going to risk Stevie at LM because it didnt work the last time. Should he do this time and we lostl, a lots of criticism and abuses would be hurled at him.

NO Riise even on the bench please!

In Babel case, things are not going well for him.Things do not turn good as Rafael has expeceted. He donot prove to be wide player that addressed all over our width problems. Rafael must have sensed that. He will graduatedly ease Babel in. He still plays vital part in his plans.

Lucas is a hell of great player that have great alibilities e.g. good touches. He has proved while he played 2 league games for us there, we didnt concede.

When we managed to turn domination into goals it's a win. While we failed to do this we got results other than this. In Rafa's own word the control. Rafa always has a positive philosophy that we will always attacking the other side, push up to pitch and put the game to their pitch. While Rafa has still do work out is how to be more clinical in front of the goal, how to turn domination to further attacking threats. This is for Rafael to work out.

Uncle Roy's times is master of sideway and backwa, but in no time they have dominating and push up the pitch and possession like Rafa did. You can replay the videos of Uncle Roy's times.
