Our front four

[carrafan]

Is as good as anything the league has to offer.

 

Of course, if a player comes around who is an Obvious improvement on those we can buy him but is there a need to replace one of them? Its tough to find a bunch of players who care for the club and these lot put their bodies on the line just because its Liverpool.

 

Rafa speaks about 'mentality' all the time and all one have to do is look at most of his buys to see what he's talking about.

 

If one forms a youtube video of Benayoun and imagine he's playing in Spain, he'd cost us like 12 million. Is Silva (for example) actually better than him? Some of Yossi's touches today were world class. Beardsley would have been proud of his run and left foot shot that Fabianski saved in the first half. And he still worked his b******s off harrasing their midfield off the ball.

 

I simply dont know where i'm going with this thread but all i want to say is that i trust Rafa in any decision that he makes and am 100% sure that he is the man to take us forward.

 

I cant imagine enough how amazing it is to find foreigners with no affinity to our club and have them playing the way they are. As someone said in another thread, Lions.

Berbatov?

Don't even have to imagine that - there's a few of his Santander goals on there. Heh. But seriously though, think Yossi has been ace.

Berbatov?

'Berbatov has the most assists in the league' dintchaknow

[Tetti]

Arshavin and he is cute too.

[Farmer's Tan]

yossi has been brilliant since the heat was turned up so to speak,he really has risen to the occasion and weighed in with performances and goals when needed most,we need another striker a good one like santa cruz who can score,a replacement for babel who doesn't seem to have the desire and a left back to give arby some competition,more attacking would be a bonus and thats all i can think of to improve the team.it doesn't seem like a lot but who knows.

[alias75]

I think as a base its very strong but it can be improved upon for certain situations. Sometimes you can sacrifice the work of Kuyt for a player with more flair, sometimes you might want to sacrifice one of the holding midfielders with another forward or somebody else in the Gerrard role and Gerrard back into central midfield.

 

So i still think we need 1 or 2 more attacking players just to give us more options and different types of players for different situations.

A face I'd like to slap with a baseball bat

Make sure you take a run up.

[carrafan]

And put your finger on your lips once youre done.

Does firing it at him from close range count?

 

I'd also like to shove four fingers of dynamite up him

[Swipe]

And put your finger on your lips once youre done.

 

Hate players that do that.

 

Still can't fathom how he scored 4!!

 

He must have had about 7 touches in total!

[goodrobotusses]

And one of them was that hilariously shanked cross he kicked into his standing leg in the first half. This was almost as bad as Kevin Lisbie's hat-trick against us.

a darn site better than the back four...

is that prison slang?

[growler]

I asked Santa for Keane to go out and Arshavin to come in. I guess he only got half the message at christmas....

Only a third I think. We didn't buy Santa Cruz...

[richwilks]

I remember in Feb Yossi saying that he almost moved but Rafa made a point of wanting him to stay and blocked any potential transfer.

 

It could well be that something like that has given him more confidence because his form since then has been superb.

 

Looked really clever last night and always a threat. If anything he started losing posession and giving the ball away cheaply in the last 10 minutes but that was almost certainly down to tiredness because he put a real Dirk Kuyt type shift in the whole game.

[madaboutlfc]

I always had my doubts about Yossi not his quality but his commitment and that header lifted all that.. you couldnt imagine a f***wit like cisse or gonzalez to ever go for that.. was truly amazing..

[fred milne]

He invariably does. He might not be the strongest but he never stops running.

 

Great little player.

[stressederic]

If Kuyt, Torres and Benayoun were a little reluctant to speak to some of our defenders this morning, I wouldn't blame them.

[Bailo]

Let's not forget in the first half Yossi tracking back and tackling Nasri(?) in the box who was just played in. Cracking shift and cracking player.

[_00_deathscar]

Was just about to point that out.

[_00_deathscar]

That Torres thing earlier when he slid the ball past Toure? was brilliant. Shame about the finish - just like when he turned Cannavaro inside out...

yes, Cisse who came back from 3 leg breaks in his career is a f***wit!
