Cheesecake said:can't believe Rafa will want to sign a player of o'shea's quality.![]()
wong_se said:nothing is worse than Pelle.
Just that I can;t believe O SHea is tagged at 6m...Probably 1.5m I dun mind.
We now have 30m to spend..must plan carefully for the next 2-3 season.
Most important is to get a strong defensive midfielder...Hamann is aging. Must get someone good to replace him. U can see without him in the 1st half, Kaka just tore us apart. With him on the 2nd half, kaka was limited to very few chances..
Cheesecake said:good anchorman are few and far in between. can't think of any good anchorman except for Gattuso, makelele, keane(old!), davids... there might be others in the list but it really is a very small group.
i thought Biscan is very decent.
:sweat:
wong_se said:agree...both MU and Liverpool having problem to replace their anchorman, Keane and Hamann.
However, I wish Rafa would keep Biscan. He just started to shine and show what he can do for us. Let him study under hamann. and he needs more matches to build his experience.
May be Rafa would look from South America....
Pelle can stay and rot in the reserves or watever...wong_se said:U prefer Liverpool to concede goals ?? I wonder why.....
Cheesecake said:stevie g will make a very good anchorman. but that could be a waste of his attacking qualities.
alonso looks good too.![]()
zhapchit said:Pelle can stay and rot in the reserves or watever...
But signing Scums is a no no :nono: and this is a scum who cant even hold down a regular place and score own goals too... why would we want him?? :think:
Even if he really sign.. I won't cheer for him.. like i never cheered for ince
Cheesecake said:funny thing is, i cheered for Ince when he signed for Liverpool from Inter-Milan. it ain't so bad to have good players who were formerly with Man Utd over to play for Liverpool. :bsmilie:
wong_se said:agree...it is a waste to use Gerrard to play as defensive midfield role. Just look at the game against AC Milan at the 2nd half..he was asked by Rafa to go forward to assist in attack. And we all knew what a decent performance he had achieved.
Alonso ? he is very good at distributing ball and pass. But Not quite sure about his defending and interception at the attack flow. he was playing this role ( abit more like a defensive midfield in the 1st half)...but kaka just walked into Liverpool defence as no man land.

wong_se said:I think I had given enough stats (stats is fact) on Pelle. Whenever he plays, Liverpool concede goals. Unless u want Liverpool to concede goals..never play Pelle.
Biscan, Mellor, Sinama, Pelle, Carson, who also can;t even hold down their regular place with the team....why we want them too ?
And the stats is - Carra had scored more own goals for Liverpool than O Shea for MU.
Cheesecake said:alonso had a good game against Eh, Simi-Lan. he has the most tackles for Liverpool in the game according to the whatever statistic from opstat or something...
wong_se said:I am not saying that Alonso is bad at defending. In terms of no. of tackles..no one did more than Carra in this season.
I mean Alonso is lacking what Hamann did to read the attack flow and intercept/slow down the play/passing, and protect the back 4.
Of course...the ideal would be Gerrard partner Alonso..Both can attack and defend..Either one go up..the other can cover each other. when we need to strengthen/tighten the defense a bit more..Hamann can do the best.
Now we have to wait for UEFA ruling to confirm in what way..they would allow Liverpool to play next year Champion League.
Lyon, French Champion with Houllier could face Liverpool next season. Interesting !
