Liverpool linked with Emile Heskey
England striker Emile Heskey has been linked with a January move back to Liverpool.The 31 year-old forward currently plays for Aston Villa, under Martin O’Neill, but has struggled to make much of an impact at Villa Park, often used as a substitute.
Heskey has even admitted he may have to leave Villa in January to improve his chances of making Fabio Capello’s 23-man World Cup squad.Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez needs to boost his forward line, with Fernando Torres prone to injury, Ryan Babel disenchanted and Andriy Voronin ineffectual.
The Mirror reports that Benitez is also looking at Ruud van Nistelrooy and Luca Toni, but views Heskey as the ideal target man for Torres to play off.
Heskey scored 60 goals in four years at Liverpool before he was sold to Birmingham in 2004 – a month before Benitez took charge at Anfield. (Telegraph)
Whilst there is no doubt that we are in need of a new striking talent to help share the load with El Nino there are players who would make sense to take a shot on and then others, like Emile, who really should be avoided like the proverbial plague. We know from his prervious stint at Liverpool that the Aston Villa man gives his all and is determination peronsified but regardless of financial constraints a move for the England international makes no sense whatsoever.
In terms of finding strikers to give us strength in depth at Anfield, surely bringing Nemeth back from AEK Athens would be a fairly easy option and I have been pleased with the progress shown by David Ngog so whilst we may need more firepower we need creative flair to help unlock defences and as such perhaps we should be looking for natural wide men or attacking midfielders instead of even considering a move for the likes of Emile Heskey.
Rafa Benitez doesn’t have a large sum of money to play with but that doesn’t men he should opt for signing a player who really is in the autumn of his career and would only be a very short term option and one that will not neccessarily deliver the goods.
Don’t do it Rafa!

This post is poor siging heskey would be a step back not forward and if i was the owners i wouldnt sanction any of Rafa signings because………….
Rafa
1)Inept man-management skils (Alonso to say the least)
2)Wasted money in the transfer market
3)Only buys young players so he can send them out on loan so he can generate more money for his first team when he sells them on(nemeth will be sold next) he is never going to give the kids a chance.
4)Buys players and then plays them out of position
5)Team selection is most bewildering as well as his sub exchanges
6)You have to have a degree to be part of his staff not sure how sammy has passed this criteria
7)The teams woeful performance is offset by troubles in the club with hicks and gillit and Rafa hides behind this. If he was at chelsea or madrid he would be sacked
8)He is to defensive thats why peter crouch etc took off he was never going to fit into his system thats why all the other playersare holding back signing contracts
9)He trys to pull the wool over the fans eyes
10)Forget about Torres and Gerard if they are not playing others have to step up to the mark who are they ?
11)All the fans keep going on about the owners and giving Rafa more money but would you i know i wouldnt i say trim your squad and your budget
and if we do sign players its not just the fee paid that has to be factored in its the sining on fees agent fees etc
12)I will give Rafa some credit he has brought in 5 world class players Reina,Torres,Mash,Agger and before that Alonso
I was a RAFA fan but now i very undecided not sure who I would want to MANAGE LIVERPOOL.
I await to see Donavan/ Retryboy take on this

To second commentor, the story is from the Daily Telegraph and YNWA is just commenting on it and expressing his opinion on the story, do you not understand that? Thankfully most people get the idea, you don’t.
I hope we don’t sign him, it would be a big mistake, albeit a cheap one.
anonymous - December 24th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
bwahahaha if Heskey comes he will fuck us up we dont needa fat old striker who has had his day as a top foootballer nuff said.
Retryboy - December 24th, 2009 at 2:45 pm
Could heskey play as a lone striker? Rather have ngog. Is he the best partner available to torres or ngog? My choices would be benayoun, nemeth, kuyt, pacheco in that order. Torres needs a hernia and the only player out of all the names mentioned that i think would be an improvement on ngog as a lone striker and compliment torres/ngog as a partner would be Kenwyne jones. If we got him could let torres have his op, its really not fair on the player expecting him to miss the world cup and he won’t be at his best anyway. Then have jones/benayoun up front with ngog/nemeth as back ups. I would do the same with gerrard let him have his groin op and have mascherano/aquilani CM its no good playing with pain killing injections. Should have been done months ago. Heskey is a good player for the price but not for us.

dude you were spot on most of your point and your disgust with Rafa too.
and all the credit to you for remembering his 5 good signings. bcoz when days are bad people do tend to forget all and suddenly all what looks is bad things.
not your fault you said you too were a rafa fan shows its just the dissapointment which is coming out.
wasted money …..wouldn’t agree completely ….if aquilliani is the cause of the saying wait for sometime and he would come out …remember BENAYOUN..
otherwise the 5 good signings were cheap enough . and xabi at 30m hats off to Rafa in in transfer market.
agreed he’s defensive and there ’s nothing that could be done about it…unless the defense is good enough ….
had he been in madrid with all those class players he would be winning trebles….
things won’t go worse for sure be patient and have trust in the man at leat for the 2nd half of the season …..
BPL_WILL_BE_PAINTED_RED. - December 24th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
retry your take on adriano and podolski for a change.
BPL_WILL_BE_PAINTED_RED. - December 24th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Kenwyne jones i doubt for he’s happy at Sunderland and wouln’t like to come
here for he knows when torres comes back he would be warming the benches like
keane did.
but if he comes maybe nemeth to stay at lone for another season…..
anyways he would be a good catch for under 10m.
...samlfc.... - December 24th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
if this happens then……well my respect for Rafa has gone but this will just be a pathetic thing to do….their is so many options for the same price as Heskey but no Rafa decideds to buy a player who played for Liverpool before but wasn’t that spectacular has and since declined in form. I’ve given up with Rafa completely now…..just go Rafa!!
BPL_WILL_BE_PAINTED_RED. - December 24th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
my super soccer buyings would be
lucas podolski 15/18m
adriano free
hleb 8m
podolski could play on left wing or as a striker….
adriano can bring maturity in striking department
hleb well with babel on right wing….
a 25 m solution for all the pool problems
but thats my imagination….and know wouldn’t come true..
anonymous - December 24th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
Beneyoun inconsistant but would love hm to do well, Nemeth is slow and not tried and tested( Rafa fault) is he pulling trees up at AEK Athens Pacheo great technique but not yet suited to epl to small needs bringing on in a confident winning side. Kuyt touch like a donkey and not prolific enough, lacks pace but can do a job aand his workrate is emence.
All very good players but not world class and thats what you need.
As for kenwyene jones i agree with BPL
There is no money at liverpool so over to you Rafa, you signed your strickers of your choice not the owners.
I wouldt give him any more money for a player that is not a proven worl class player.
anonymous - December 24th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
Well if we get him cheap cheap cheap why not he wont be worse than voronin lol, and im sorry ive heard 4 mill and i dont think youll get a better option for that much up front. But weve got no money and he would be better than nothing, if we can swap babel for bentley, as redknapp has been credit with a interest, we could play kuyt and heskey up front, which may work! they would hold the ball up and bring other players in. also the mata rumour is still doing the rounds and if we really do have any money at all thats where it should go, riera pluss most of cash on him,heskey on cheap. If we could swap doss for risse i think we would be in a lot better shape with them practical and possible deals. Rumour is rafa wants to go 442 again, if so, with the exception of risse, they would be solid candidates to make that happen. Reason i doubt wed swap back for risse is i just dont think rafa would admidt he made a mistake in letting him go. and i think ngog would do very well up front with heskey, he cant score but his record with assisting quick agile strikers makes up for that. Faith in the rafa and the team =)
anonymous - December 24th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
jus when we thought things couldnt get any worse, were linked with heskey. Yeah lets bring back sean dundee and Nando Morientes while we are at it. Maybe Jean Michel Ferri to sort our midfield and then perhaps bjorn tore kvarme may come to lighten carras load. Its fun being a red this christmas.

ah its all doom snd gloom but in truth we are really going to buy villa, ribery and i think jesus is going to make a short loan deal, christ of course =)

I don’t blame the owners for not giving Rafa funds because seriously, would you trust him with millions of your money?

Its not theirs its the clubs! they havent paid anything really, its all comeing out of the people who go to the games, buy the shirts ,sign up for the website, watch them on tv, watch the channel etc etc. in short every single fan who makes some effort
...samlfc.... - December 24th, 2009 at 4:58 pm
Liverpool FC Danny – i wouldn’t and to carry on to what you just said, Rafa did get Torres mascherano and Reina but he also got us Morientes, Nunez and to certain extent Robbie keane (although i would of loved it if he stayed on with us although he didn’t ahve a choice). its usually more bad buys than good buys if i’m honist.
P.s……………….Happy christmas everyone!! and for everyone who doesn’t support Man utd have a happy new year!!
anonymous - December 24th, 2009 at 5:13 pm
merry xmas from here in sunny australia. is there a possibility that we could just swap rafa for mourinho.that way they both have an immediate job and there would be no need for payouts.rafa has never talked about other teams and their champs lge prospects,and now because his job is under threat,he comes out and talks about how good inter etc are.if this is his way of crying out for a job it is sad to see how pathetic the great man has become.we look stale and devoid of creativity on the pitch,torres and gerrard are playing injured.it is sad to say that i have never once seen stevie g stamp his brilliance on a game this season yet.we havent replaced 20mil robbie keane, and alonso’s replacement hasnt even started in the epl.if we dont have the money for new players then we need mourinho to freshen the place up. allahs boot

bunch of saps actually believe this rumour that probably started with that disgrace of a newspaper the s*n .Moano’neill doing buisness with rafa doubt it, do yous not know anything about football..
Scouse Magic - December 24th, 2009 at 8:28 pm
No Chance. There are a few options for us which will cost us nothing or next to nothing, Adriano, Toni, A.Johnson. Lets get rid of the crap, Voronin, Babel, Degen, Aurelio, Riera, Itandje, El Zhar. We would save money on wages and also generate some cash to bring in 1 or 2 quality players.
anonymous - December 24th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
I think it is time for a bit of radical thinking.. does anyone remember when Dalglish came down for 300k??? I know he isnt the same grade of player, but he is a proven goal scorer… Kris Boyd… won’t cost the world and is bound to score a hell of a lot more than Heskey… whaddya reckon?
anonymous - December 24th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
heyy… we r fighting 4th place right now and aston villa is one of the contender… it is managerial tactical men.. that y rafa is best tactical manager on the world.. instead rafa might recall nameth.
Retryboy - December 24th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
Lol adriano makes me laugh…only because of rafa he is another craig bellamy needs to feel wanted, sometimes you gotta come down on him sometimes support him, basically needs someone who is good at manmanagement he would be hitting the bottle in weeks with rafa! Kenwyne jones is apparently being cashed in on because bruce needs to strengthen elsewhere and hasn’t got many assets that would bring in the money he needs. Anon at 4.09 is nemeth pulling up trees at athens? Well he scored 3 in 7 got mvp in greek league and man of the match performances. Went to the under 20 world cup scored 3 in 6 plus a penalty in a shootout. Had 2 under 21’s scored 2 in 2 getting injured after 15 minutes against italy not heard how he has done since. Slow? He’s a legend in the making scores that rate whatever level he has played. Yossi…inconsistent? Maybe playing in the same position 2 weeks in a row would help! Playing in his best position behind the striker in 3 games this season 6-1 win at hull 4-0 win where he gets a hat-trick and beating utd man of the match. Plus he came back from a hamstring injury in a week. Have a great xmas everyone!

QUESTONS
2 how much money has rafa spent on crap players?
how much has he recouped or lost from selling these crap players?
how much are the best players he bought worth now?
summary rafa tramfers finantially have been good full stop. the problem is his tactics and his system
anonymous - December 25th, 2009 at 12:48 am
Great acquisition. His talent will be very welcome. Heskey will certainly help us to grab important points this season. Now we have a good chance to make top four.

drop gerrard back to the middle with aqua

anonymous - December 26th, 2009 at 4:59 am
The Manchester triangle: transfer Heskey to liverpool; laugh a minute. Transfer Torres to Man CITY, the best thing Torres could do, he would become a golden academy award at CITY and then we send dunne his bootlaces back to villa.
BPL_WILL_BE_PAINTED_RED. - December 26th, 2009 at 9:30 am
if rafa’s listenning this would be the best lineup for him
riena
jhonson carra agger insua
lucas
babel aurellio
aquilliani benayoun
torres
no use of playing gerrard when is being a mere spectator …give him a good seat and watch the match with his wife..as he did with manu
subs
kuyt
dossena(just as a back up)
ngog
defenders usual..
now i have great hope with babel,ngog and torres pairing up
with aquilliani and benayon behind them
if you are reading it . do it rafa……..
BPL_WILL_BE_PAINTED_RED. - December 26th, 2009 at 9:31 am
ya i meant
babel and aurellio on wings and benayon and aquilliani behind the
striker
Retryboy - December 26th, 2009 at 9:50 am
Would go 4-4-2 let gerrard rest for the 2 big games ahead. Gk-reina RB-johnson LB-aurelio CB-carragher CB-agger CM-lucas CM-aquilani LM-riera CF-torres CF-benayoun RM-babel subs cavalieri, skrtel, insua, gerrard, kuyt, pacheco, ngog
Benayoun playing just off torres in his best role supplying like beardsley did, left and right wingers on their proper sides capable of getting to the byline and putting in quality crosses a threat that we never carry yet is one of the fundametal established routes to goal of all teams. Bit of pace in the team too whatever next! That is our best back four and leaving it settled as much as possible would help.
ROB FROM KENT - December 26th, 2009 at 11:39 am
id personally get gerrard in midfield with aquilani drop lucas drop kuyt play a 4.4.2 i would play this team if fit
reina
johnson carragher agger dossena
babel gerrard aquilani riera ? if not fit benayoun
pacheco
torres
think its time for a shake up here ive got pacheco in there now i know he is only a youngster but i think he has great quality reminds me of a young litmanen can see a threaded pass others cant give that lad a go like retryboy says we neeed some pace in the side some vision i think that team there gives you it it has quality ball players going forward good energy and pace

Good afternoon to ‘the don’, bpl, rob hope you all had a good xmas. Looks like riera is out so unfortunately would be forced to play benayoun LM couldn’t take seeing aurelio there is a waste of yossi’s talent though. On the flip side would then give pacheco the shot playing off torres as bpl has picked. If nemeth was here would be him but pacheco is going to be a star too. So revised team Gk-reina RB-johnson LB-aurelio CB-carragher CB-agger CM-lucas CM-aquilani LM-benayoun CF-torres CF-pacheco RM-babel subs cavalieri, insua, skrtel, spearing, gerrard, kuyt, ngog. Lucas should be ok holding against wolves and its an opportunity to give gerrard a rest ahead of 2 massive games.

Think its a total joke that without riera(who rafa never picks anyway) we have no options for a genuine LM player in a massive squad. On the right only babel could be classed as a real RM player(only one that isn’t by rafa) people that rave about his transfer record should realise building a squad is more than getting good players. One injury shouldn’t have any team on square pegs in round holes, let alone a top epl team with one of the biggest squads around.
Retryboy - December 26th, 2009 at 2:00 pm

anonymous - December 26th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
This is a very accurate assessment of problems currently at Lfc. A simple exercise worth trying is to play a team selected on the players and in the positions which they favour.
When Rafa gets his marching orders the most honorable, gentlyman thing he should do is refuse to claim the balance of his contract in settlement donating it the players pool, He totally undeserving of any payment

Retryboy - December 26th, 2009 at 4:23 pm
Afternoon pete- agree with all of your points. Rafa has got a good record with transfers not a good record building a squad. We have 6 good CB’s carragher, agger, skrtel, san jose, kelly, ayala and one dodgy greek panic buy. Yet we have 1 genuine LM player riera. No genuine RM’s babel could be given the chance. Rafa plays one striker yet only has torres, ngog and babel(again not trusted there) capable of the role yet the 2nd striker role Benayoun, kuyt, nemeth, pacheco all their real positions so none of them are being utilised properly or at all in nemeth’s case. Gerrard i still class as CM. Can’t stand his system but if he is so hellbent on it you would have built the squad accordingly. He started the season with 1 fit attacking CM and 4 defensive in mascherano, lucas, spearing, plessis. Think we have 7 Gk’s on the books. I am still gutted that city grabbed Mancini think he was perfect for us as everyone here will know been campaigning for him for months. O’Neill would be first choice for me van basten outside shout. Would be happy giving king Kenny a shot till the end of season if he was up for it.

ok where do i begin.
firstly not many people have sky or can go to anfield for various reasons
secondly i did watch the game (well 60 mins of it) at a relatives house
Thirdly your telling me and Spota that we are not real fans of Liverpool….strange that as i always give thoughts and opinions on Liverpool under my name. what about you “anonymous”?
and lastly its boxing day which means its in the christmas season so many people would be with their families so they might not have time to watch liverpool.
before saying stupid stuff try to think before you type.
I can see why Retryboy doesn’t look at anonymous posts after reading that and many others.

2-0 get in there boys! Great seeing stevie g flying into those tackles again and what a header! Insua was man of the match for me, best i have seen him play for us great cross for the goal too least someone can deliver a quality ball johnson and aurelio’s delivery was woeful. Carragher was excellent too. Worrying how bad johnson is playing and torres was out of sorts apart from that steady debut from aquilani he’s a lot more physical than i expected puts himself about some straw passes only to be expected though. Pacheco again looked lively should have come on earlier though but good he got on. Wolves offered nothing they never even challenged for the ball! Something to build on anyway need it with villa and spurs up next.

anonymous – December 26th, 2009 at 8:41 pm…… HEY DICK BREATHE ……Some of us can’t always get to games, or can’t afford too. That doesn’t mean that they are any less of a Liverpool supporter than you so why don’t YOU FUCK OFF, PRICK …..
Sorry people but Idiots like this make me sick …… Can’t even add a name to their post ….
…samlfc…. – December 26th, 2009 at 7:36 pm …….. SAM …LMAO…
Bet it didn’t taste so good coming back up LOL
Anyway……
A game that hinged on a sending off ……. Before that we did not really look likely to score …. Torres was unconvincing, Benayoun more out of the game than in….. Jarvis (Wolves) owed Johnson for 70 mins of the game, Gerrard not sharp …. The only bright lights in the game where Aquilani, Pacheco, Insua and Spearing ….
The Gerrard goal was well taken, but I felt was luck to stand, as I have seen them disallow all too often … As was the Benayoun goal …. But it is better to be luck than good …..
An important win, but we have a long way to go to be back at our best ….
The next two Premier League games are six pointers ….. Aston Villa and Tottenham, and in between a trip to Reading ….. Rafa needs to use that game to rest Torres, Gerrard, Benayoun Insua and Carragher ….
I hold no delusions that these two games will possibly make or break our season
...samlfc.... - December 26th, 2009 at 9:22 pm
Donavan it bloody well didn’t lol it didn’t help whn i drank falt Lemonade thinking it was water LOL but its christmas i had to entertain people ha. hope you had a good christmas and you to Retryboy.
Some people never think before they speak and it really does infuriate everyone. by the way have yo thought about writing for caught offside? you should. mine will hopefully be out soon but i don’t know lol
and i thought the team done well but like you said 2 lucky goals made us win but a win is a win.
oh yeah thanks for the sites you recommended greatly appreciated
...samlfc.... - December 26th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
correcton: when i drank flat lemonade
rather strange tihng to say on football website lol but i think everyone got bored of talking about Heskey now anyways lol
Aquilani4goals - December 26th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
pacheco look very sharp,he is a player i am lookin forward to see playin in the 1st 11,he is really good.he should have bein in the 1st 11 long ago.we have enuff force let not waste money on dead wood….

Nick here
t is just nice to see us bollock wolves and get some deserved and much needed 3 points i dont care if we lose to Reading in the fa believe we can beat spurs at anfield but villa i am not really sure especially at at the park where they perform their best. oh and good to see aquilani playing my opinion mascherano is on his way out we don’t need him we played well without 2 holding midfielders much more creativity going forward.

Retryboy - December 26th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
According to the anon dikhed there are only 35,000 liverpool fans in the world lol. Back to the game… Think calling the goals lucky is harsh donovan. The sending off was lucky was a free kick not a 2nd yellow. Who cares though we needed this badly amazing how aquilani got match fit enough to start this game when he was injured last week but wasn’t match fit enough to be used off the bench up till now, doesn’t make too much sense! Seen already though that even with aquilani its still 4-2-3-1. Kuyt finally left out liked that one!
Aquilani4goals - December 26th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
luck or no luck we won the game…we played a brillant game….we need to play pacheco more often
Aquilani4goals - December 26th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
aquilani is good we need creative cm
Retryboy - December 26th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Nick- do you really think that because lucas can defend against a nothing team who never even closed us down let alone attempt a tackle or attack that he is any sort of replacement for mascherano? Think you are way off the mark against the top teams people notice mascherano more because his work is more evident against dangerous players and. Think decent players and teams will walk past lucas like at arsenal 2nd half he couldn’t win the ball once mascherano was gone. Like i said before though its still 2 holding midfielders.
anonymous - December 26th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
spearing and pacheco were really good. I can’t believe he didn’t play Kuyt!!!Thank God

long time reader, first time poster. first off, well done to the boys today best iv seen them play in a while! aquaman was very soild i thought stevie G getting was good match fitness again torres still a bit rusty. Insua was fantasic! Bit of transfer rumours for ye guys, apparntly jones and arda turan in januray? wouldnt mind it
Donavan Ried - December 27th, 2009 at 12:25 am
Aquilani4goals – December 26th, 2009 at 9:27 pm….. Let’s hope Rafa sees it that way mate…..
Retryboy – December 26th, 2009 at 9:40 pm….. Well, how many times has a player gone for the ball, clattered into another player and the Ref given a free kick?
As for Benayoun’s goal if it was not deflected it would have been an easy stop of Hahnemann…..
Disagree though think I was a second yellow, because he was book earlier for the same thing. A soft one though.
But yes a win is a win
“Amazing how Aquilani got match fit enough to start this game”….. You forget. It’s Christmas. The time of Miracles
Nick what’s worrying is Up until the sending off Wolves look the more likely to win the game …. And Yes the Reading game is not really that important in the scheme of things….
Donavan Ried - December 27th, 2009 at 12:27 am
typo should read…..”Disagree though think It was a second yellow”

anyoen else thinking pacheco should get more of a run in the team? he certinaly looks lively!
anonymous - December 27th, 2009 at 1:58 am
Liverpool, ( well a rumour ), are in the janurary market are looking at a youngster in norway/finland who was there young player of the year, He is a foward i can tell you that much and also he would set us back 2mil
anonymous - December 27th, 2009 at 8:50 am
The Mirror reports that Benitez is also looking at Ruud van Nistelrooy and Luca Toni, but views Heskey as the ideal target man for Torres to play off.
bwahahahahahahahaha go ahead Rafa buy Heskey, he’s totally the “perfect target man for Torres to play off.”
Sure Van Nistelrooy and Toni are both better target men than Heskey in his wildest dreams, and both have scoring records if better than 1-in-2 in EPL/La Liga and Italy/Bundesliga..
But never mind that, Heskey who can’t get a game for Villa is perfect! Buy him now before Notts County snap him up on a free in January!!
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
...samlfc.... - December 27th, 2009 at 9:45 am
What is Rafa thinking!? luca toni is 32 Ruud van nistlerooy is 33. why can’t we get someone younger who is inbetween 26-28 as they can still be helpful in a few years time.
I’m not looking forward to the january transfer window if we keep on being linked with all these players.
...samlfc.... - December 27th, 2009 at 9:54 am
liverpool5star – welcome!
and Pachecho i think should have slightly more time on the bench while playing against Reading for the full 90 mins and then i think we should take it from there.
Retryboy - December 27th, 2009 at 10:07 am
Donovan-hate the game becoming non contact gradually there was no foul by gerrard he just wanted it more. 2nd goal yeah lucky deflection but when you are blasting it into a crowd its likely to happen. Liverpool5star like jones and turan whether we could afford them is another question and if it meant sacrificing babel wouldn’t be keen at all. Agree totally sam not looking forward to the transfer window as i think we will be watching a potential world class player walk out the door in babel for a fraction of his value because rafa can’t play him in the right position i’m with donovan in all probability will just be more journeymen pensioners taking chances away from the youngsters. Pacheco should definitely get more game time, think nemeth is even better and we need him back in january.
Donavan Ried - December 27th, 2009 at 10:33 am
…samlfc…. Well said on both points Sam…
Retryboy – December 27th, 2009 at 10:07 am…….
“Donovan-hate the game becoming non contact gradually there was no foul by Gerrard he just wanted it more”…..
No, don’t get me wrong. I too hate the way the game is going. I think goal keepers get too much protection; Refs do not take into account the momentum of a player going into a tackle. But what I also hate is the way player obstruct other players by stepping across them and blocking them off, or hold them in the box. …..
All I am saying is another ref might have given a foul against Gerrard. But the goal itself was a well crafted and taken one…….
What I was getting at was I would have like to have seen us create more gilt edge chances on goal and really worked their keeper
Retryboy - December 27th, 2009 at 11:20 am
Totally agree donovan think its blatantly obvious why again we have all the possession and no real clear cut chances. You look at the team on paper you would think one holding midfielder and 4 attacking players in there, would still be too defensive for me but ok. Then the team line up and you see that yes rafa has paid 20m for an attacking midfielder and told him to sit and yes, yet again we have 2 holding midfielders, a left back on the left wing and only 3 players concentrating on attack against a relegation contender.
