  1. Money Talks. If we want Fan Representation of the board it'll cost us - simple as. And that is totally different having ONE fan who is a supporter on the board. For example Noel White. He was on the board and a huge Liverpool fan - but he believed rotation wasn't the way forward and spoke too openly about it. One person's view might not represent the masses. What we need is a REPRESENTATIVE of a mass group of fans who can vote through the rep. ShareLiverpool. In regards to being able to make Profit on a Share - That defeats the whole point of ShareLiverpool. The fans won't end up owning the club. Then your a public company and what happens.....a rich man/company buys them all at a ridiculous price and takes over the club - a la Glazier. And as for the 'average' fan affording £500. How many people went to Istanbul or Athens at similar cost that couldn't afford it but found a way? Yes there was a European cup final but having LIFELONG share and vote in the running of the club you support is not 'nothing'. I was sceptical about it until I read ALL of the literature and saw the examples like Barcelona and the German clubs for whom it works very well.
  2. I was made up to see Pepe getting mascherano and skrtl up off the deck. Ok Gerrard was clapping and shouting in the centre circle but Pepe was havin it large. It was only when I watched the highlights I noticed Adebeyours ridiculous reggae pointing dance, how smug he looked. Still he was probably revelling in the Carling Cup atmosphere.
  3. I think its unfair to single Xabi out in a formation where for the first 25 minutes nobody shone. If anything it was Gerrard who couldn't get a grip in the game which is understandable because he isn't used to playing on the left. The consequence of that was Mascher pulled across leaving Xabi in the middle tracking 2-3 on rushing Arsenal midfielders. A lot of people underestimate the simple passes and turns Alonso makes. Alonso spreads the ball well, turns out of space and finds feet with the simple passes. Obviously its easier to remember the failed chips over the top (which granted were annoying). The seasons where Xabi has shone he's been the ball player in the middle with Gerrard on the right. Difference is now his job is to try and pick the ball up, find easy passes, try and control the tempo from the back. That's never going to be easy against a team like Arsenal. I couldn't understand the reluctance by anybody to put a foot in early on? Potentially Gerrard is on a yellow so refrained? We seemed nervy when their players decided to just run straight at us, should have gone in hard in the right areas.
  4. This is the reason Fabregas shouldn't even be talked about in the same breath as Gerrard or the best in the world. What Fabregas fails to realise he isn't the only player and arsenal aren't the only team who have players man marking and nullifying threats. The amount of times we see teams coming to Anfield with 10 men behind the ball wasting 2-3 minutes every throw in or goal kick. How many teams set out to nullify Gerrard. The old "stop gerrard playing and you stop liverpool". Does Gerrard moan about this? Of course not because he's world class and continues to perform. Unlike Fabregas who spits his dummy when he comes up against players like Mascherano who can take him out of the game for long spells.
  5. I thought this was ridiculous. Andy Gray chose not to say a word and not to replay it. Before a replay had even been seen of the Kuyt incident he was convinced it was the worst mistake in champions league history. I don't think they showed a reply because Andy Gray thought it was more fitting to discuss how it would "be typical of Liverpool's tournament if we snatched a winner".
