    So what?

    He is a player I really want us to sign.

    His name has been brought up a few times in threads when talking about who we could buy to strengthen our midfield.

    Exactly, now its down to the player and if he wants to sign for a big club!

    I'd imagine Benfica will have a say in what happens.

    I agree but I don't think there should a difference between 1/2 and 1/16 between us for it considering how close it is. If we can beat them at home in 2 weeks it will be big.

    Going to be some derby, reminiscent of the mid to late 80's ones, can't wait for it, Merseyside derbys being important as regards the top of the table again, not just bragging rights.. So many huge games coming up and barring United away all at Anfield.

    True enough on the odds, there's nothing between both teams, well barring Suarez! I'd say those odds are based on United coming strong with RVP to come back. For me Everton and Spurs are the 2 unquantifiables in the run in.

    Anyway, anybody prefer GED and Rafa style playing to the current set up?

    Suarez didn't even play that well today.

    frightening.

    And Sturridge isn't match fit. Looking forward to SAS at full tilt!

    Nope, though the "advantage" of watching their teams was that my heart got less wear and tear - we are back to the Roy Evans era right now, if it were only possible to combine Ged defence with Rodgers attack we'd be home and hosed.

    Missed the match earlier, sitting down to watch the recording. Is it worth watching or is it a nil nil snoozefest? :pac::D:pac::pac::pac::pac:

    2 of our ex players score, Mig makes a howler and Stevie has slowed down our entire midfield.

    don't put yourself through it.

    Great shouts


    Fowler/Collymore from 95/96 got 42 league goals

    Kenny/Rush in 82/83 was also a 42 goal haul.


    Will have a look to get figures for Hunt/Hatley/St John, but you could be dead right again there because am pretty sure that Hunt had a few 30 or so goal seasons in the league.



    EDIT: You were spot on about the 50 being broken in the 1960's. St John and Hunt scored a whopping 59 league goals between them during the 1961/62 season.

    They also got 43 during the 1962/63 season and 52 in 1963/64.

    After that Ian St John never scored more than 10 league goals in any of the following 7 seasons he was at the club.


    So 59 now looks to be the target for Suarez and Sturridge to beat. :D

    The 59 goal season though was in the 2nd division, so we'll let them away with beating 52 as the top flight record. Hopefully they'll have it done and dusted by the end of March ;)

    Evans is what comes into my mind watching us.

    Any site to watch MotD2 highlights?

    No way. So many missed opportunities under rafa because of how we played. We are putting away the lesser teams which if we had done under rafa we would have won the league.
    Rodgers has put his mark on the club and this is the type of football players will want to come and play.

    This has been said for I think the last 6/7 matches in a row. Referee's are not doing anything about it!

    Aren't bookies great. We are somehow 1/16 to finish in the top 6 on PP. All of the top 7 are odds on with Everton the longest odds on 1/2 which is mad I think (Spurs 2/5 and Utd 1/6 are the next longest). Suarez is 1/18 for top scorer :pac:

    Yes, I know different/better odds are available elsewhere, but I'm not actually betting on any of the above. I think 1/16 for top 6 for us is crazy though given how close the top 7 are. Someone will have to be the odd one out.

    I backed Suarez at 18/1 to be top scorer :-)

    So does Hendo not play well with Gerrard and does one of them need to be dropped ?

    IMO the problem is the Gerrard / Lucas combo just doesn't work

    Gerrard is at his best behind the striker, rafa knew why no other manager has done it ill never understand. His instinct is to move forward and attack he is wasted playing deep.

    I kid you not.

    I thought he was imitating dealing a deck of cards. :eek:

    I'm pretty sure he was simulating counting out money.

    No idea why though. Perhaps just a "make it rain" kinda thing..

    I thought he was writing a signature, implying it was a signature Adam(s) goal.

    It was definitely a money counting gesture.

    Gerrard does not have the legs to do the pressing needed for that position in this system. Look at the shift Henderson puts in week in/week out, granted he was poor today, but still the amount of pressing he done was mammoth and it's not something a 33, soon to be 34, y/o is able for.
