Mascherano a major doubt apparently: Echo

Also, it's not like Babel is this brilliant attacker whose only weakness is not tracking back...

Personally I'd add Dudek's reception by the crowd when he played in the Carling Cup after his shocker against ManU some years ago (the Forlan game). I only listened to the match on the eSeason thing but as I remember he good an especially loud rendition of "we got a big Pole in our goal" or something and I remember thinking "that's the way to support your players" at the time. Another "shivers down the spine" moment was the cup game against Arsenal when the Kop were chanting for justice for the 96.

Shankly they have taken you away But you left a great 11 Before you went to heaven Now it's Glory 'round the Fields of Anfield Road

That's the one. Cheers...

Didn't something like that actually happen? Mancs signed a player, player got lost, ended up in Liverpool?

They actually are shelling out €900M for a backup striker as part of their PR campaign to prove we're not broke. Naturally, interest on the 1200€ loan they took out to pay for him and their trip to Anfield to unveil him will be payed by the club.

Wiki says Federico was linked with us in August, it's now September. Another one we missed out on, dammit.

We once got 3 in 6, but agreed - very unlikely.

Anybody else listening to the o'fish? Davy Fairclough is beginning to get on my nerves, to listen to him you'd think he never got anything wrong on the field ever.

Could depend on who's playing: if Skrtel makes it, it might be Kyrgiakos on the bench. Agree with the general thrust of the post though, I thought he did OK on Wednesday against a side which poses a special challenge for a CB. Maybe not the same challenge he'd face against Villa, but still. The other thing that's occured to me: for him and San Jose to only ship 2 (one of which came when we were down to 10) in the Atleti friendly against a very very good front line isn't actually too shabby.

Another thing: I don't remember it as Benitez selling him, I thought it was Danny leaving for more playing time (which was going to be limited, Xabi was better in CM and I've heard Murphy on the right being named as one of the symptoms of how Houllier had lost it) and for an English manager. I agree with lawrie: I have more time for Murphy now that he's not playing for us. Last but not least: at least that part of the article was written by Rob Smyth - a ManUtd supporter who hardly lets a chance go past to stick the boot in. I mean, "In 2004, Rafa Benitez sold Danny Murphy just after buying Xabi Alonso. He could - and probably will - do a lot worse than turn the wheel full circle. Murphy was actually replaced by Luis Garcia,.." - WTF?

I thought it was me, but yes, I always get that on justin.tv and also on iraqigoals.

That's what it sounds like to me

Good point about Lucas - agree entirely. It's also where the "what do you expect, it's Carra" argument falls short, we know he has his strong points and his weak points, he should know them too and play accordingly.

if we're 2nd Sunday evening I'll be well pleased...

Carra down with what looks like ankle trouble, went off for a bit but now back on Aguero takes advantage of the hole at CB to score, Carra going off, replaced by San Jose.

Watching the pregame show on LFC.TV - gotta say I love Big Jan as a pundit

Any news on the Aquilani medical?

Refresh my memory...

That Steve McClaren, he knows a good keeper when he sees one

Degen for Johnson, Dossena for Insua, Spearing for Mascherano, Babel for Benayoun for the 2nd half

If anyone, it was San Jose IMO: should've intercepted the ball before it got to Garcia.

Everyone's wearing an armband - THE armband is with Stevie G.
