Great result today against Newcastle but actually they're pretty lousy at the moment.

Would have been happier if Torres had scored but its ok la...most important is he scores when we NEED it. But....WHY IS KEWELL STILL IN OUR TEAM???

Before Momo or anybody else goes, kewell should go first. He should have gone long long ago....

I think Kewell still has not lost much of his former touches.He played well against the magpies.Lucas look a bit like the younger Robbie savage.

Good game and result. Somehow I find that we never score easily against Newcastle away. Shay Given is often the reason.

And many moons ago, don't know if you guys remember, there was a game in which we played them off the park but still lost 2-1 to a late goal. Rushie and Redders were still in the team then so it must been Souness or Evans I think.

And much of the game last night went the same way except that we managed to continue scoring and keep Viduka and Co at bay. That's progress for me.

Good to see the Momo and Lucas dominate the midfield. Pretty impressive particularly Lucas for a young lad and a thin physique but he really pulled the strings out there.

Shay was only half the reason we didn't win any bigger last nite.
For the other half, one quarter was due to a certain pair of dutch legs who only know how to tread on every blade of grass at St James, but was too wobbly to sweep the ball into the goal from 6 yards!! The other quarter was due to Torres' lack of luck, as his attempted tap-in from 35 yards only managed to find the upright.

Yes, most definitely ... no matter what the press think they know, I've always been of the opinion that (for the next 5 years, at least) Rafa is THE man to bring LFC back to the top again.
Actually, us coming from the little red dot, I just cannot understand WHY we cannot appreciate that Rafa need not & should not respond to opinions coming from the armchair fans ... I'm very certain LKY did things all in his own way, but look where we are today - the little red dot is even exporting expertise to big cities now!!
On the other hand, I have absolutely no pity for a certain England manager who knows only how to play to the crowds & pick the obvious armchair choices ... sticking by 2 centre-backs only throughout his tenure, how he must be wishing he had the guts (like Rafa) to tinker!!

Was watching the game at my sister's place last nite ... & was explaining to my BIL that Leiva was the Player of the Season in the Brazilian league last year & is the current Brazilian U21 captain. His immediate response was HOW did Rafa managed to buy him ... so, before going on to compare with other Big4 managers, the rest of the noisemakers here should really think through a wee bit first. In short, the only other manager who won the league while given only the same time as Rafa is the whiner from Stamford Bridge ... but he managed to get his club owner to buy him all the best players in the world!!

Uncle Rahl ... you're the only one (in the last 10 postings or so) to warrant sufficient respect for me to post a reply, but rest assured that I know you have nothing against Rafa.
YNWA ... hahaha.

Cum_Luver · #**4761** 25-11-2007, 10:30 AM

Thanks bro for the endorsement heheh. Let's not fret. The chants of Rafa, Rafa rang out loud and clear last night. There are still true-red (can't use the other word!) Liverpool supporters on this forum, at Anfield and in the away fixtures.

Good performance! Though I have to say Newcastle made us look better than it should be!

But 1 or 2 points, Sisokko is still at times so clumsy its painful to watch! But his tackling seems to be improving...

Good to see Kewell back! Perhaps still rusty but looking forward to see more action from him..

And how on earth did Torres not get onto the score sheet is a mystery!

wolfclan · #**4764** 25-11-2007, 03:36 PM

Yes, any win against a team coach by BFS is good, especially when BFS former team has always been a thorn to Rafa.

Steveie G score a great powerful goal, but Torres seems to have a bad day, missing those chances, hopefully he can score against Porto this thurs morning.

Momo still as clumsy, but was better as the games goes on, and if he can fetch 8mil, guess will be good business isnt it? but of course need to secure Javier Mascherano.

well hope pool can continue with the winning ways.

YNWA.

I know I'll get stick for saying this...But bro, give Momo time... Look at how well he combined in the centre with Lucas last nite... So much so that Stevie G had so much freedom on the right, and was even able to switch flanks with Kewell... All these without worrying about giving defensive cover...

Whatever else the rest of the noisemakers do to you, rest assured you wun get any stick from me ...

Momo isn't ALL that bad, he's just made to look bad becoz we now have Mascherano to provide direct competition to him ... & who happens to be well ahead of him, both in terms of ability & composure.
In addition, Momo's been lackig some self-belief since that eye injury.

However, until we know Mascherano is ours in the long run, only the noisemakers will think that Rafa is in a hurry to sell anybody.
Trust me, if Rafa is thinking of letting go talents (albeit lesser ones) to raise funds for bringing in better players, then there wouldn't have been a need to bang heads against the Yank owners, is there?

So, no ... come 31 Jan, Momo, Crouchy & Riise will all still be playing in their famous red shirts. Side bets, anyone?

8 million pounds is definitely a lot of money to you & me, but let's look at it this way ... assuming we secure the services of Mascherano for the long term, after pocketing the 8 million pounds, who do you intend to buy as cover for Mascherano?

No answers? Arhhh ... pocketing that 8 million pounds is not that irresistably good a business deal after all, no?

Momo playing standard start to drop after his eye injury...... if only you had seen him at valencia back then.... you'd realise why rafa seems to like this guy.
Wonder if the eye is still affecting him?..... if it is..... then is better to let him go

It doesn't make sense.
Yes,it sounds alarming becasue the article was written by someone who used to have good connections with Anfield. Anyway as he is writing for a tabloid paper now,many will just take this with a pinch of salt,who actually knows what happens behind the scenes ?
Wait till 16 Dec then,fingers crossed .....
