another great match report :thumbsup:
my apologises to traore, i had often maligned him and branded him a poor player. he certainly proved me wrong. biscan was brilliant and if he keeps that up, we'll have a fantastic central midfield with gerrard, alonso, biscan and hamann all capable of dominating the middle of the park, winning tackles and distributing the ball around the pitch. what we need now is some width in the play.
in defence, i think they all did great but i still worry because at times, they still seem to panic and on occassions, tended to make the wrong decisions. josemi especially seemed to get worse with time.
all credit to rafa for he had restored life to many of our forgotten fringe players. it is a welcome sight to see a healthy competition for places by the second choice players. both djimi and biscan stagnated under gerard houllier and seemed on their way out. i do wonder what would happen if heskey was still with the club. i know, i make fun of him a lot, but he was a good striker in the begining and i had much hope for him as i was a fan of him when he was with leicester. he was strong, fast and not afraid to get stuck in. he really went downhill somewhat in recent years and i wondered if rafa could have done something for him. he could have been something then. pity.
been a liverpool fans since the 90s. fowler was the man who drew me to the team and he's still my fave.
hope to see the youngsters make their mark. with the current rather thin squad and besieged by a number of long term injuries, this is the time for the likes of mellor, warnock, partridge, raven, etc to stake their claim to a first team place. it is worrying that our reserve team and junior sides (u-21s and u-18s) are not doing well in their respective leagues.
i somehow have a strong feeling that we may see luque in a LFC jersey. dunno why but it was just a gut feeling i got when i saw the game.
another defender would be nice. maybe young michael dawson? feel bad about henchoz. no big fan of him as i feel he's not that good but he's a pretty decent defender and i thought he'd have a place in the team, at least as a back-up.
