    fiiiiiiiiiinaly!! missed this thread!

    This is definitely the most exciting I've ever been at the start of a season. That probably has a lot to do with having all the setanta and sky sports channels so I can watch every game till xmas

    Nah we definately definately need a decent CB. All the building in other areas will come to absolutly nought if Carra gets injured. To be honest if he was gone for any real length of time we'd be lucky to grab 4th! Possibly the most important area of the team and by a mile our weakest for backup.

    I really think we'll win today, but i also really thought Spurs would win so who knows! Anything can happen in football.

    Come on the pool!

    Cant believe no benayoun on the bench


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,529 ✭✭✭Im_No_Superman


    Is Benayoun inured or something?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,911 ✭✭✭✭whatawaster


    He'll probably play on wednesday, along with Mascherano and Crouch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,745 ✭✭✭✭Villain


    Villa team for you guys in case you were wondering:
    Taylor, Gardner, Bouma, Mellberg, Laursen, Petrov, Reo-Coker, Barry, Young, Carew, Agbonlahor. Subs: Osbourne, Moore, Cahill, Harewood, Maloney

    Best of luck hope its a good game, I'd take a point if it was offered now.

    Edit Thats no goalkeeper on the bench!!!

    Reina
    Finnan--Carra--Agger--Arbeloa
    Pennant-Gerrard-Alonso--Riise
    Torres-Kuyt

    Strong and simple and almost very predictable! :p

    Mike.

    10 for me as well, I doubt many had Riise at LW.

    Mike.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,968 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    Yay! :) OG from Villa under pressure from Kuyt (as in he is on the pitch!).

    Mike.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,326 ✭✭✭Zapp Brannigan


    Reina already flapping at that things. Let's hope he steers clear of any early season blunders. Kuyt and Torres looking very good together. Gerrard revelling in playing in the centre.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,911 ✭✭✭✭whatawaster


    Decent display first half. Torres looks good, so does Gerrard. Pennant has been too quiet, and Riise poor, but we're winning so let's hope we can carry on


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,968 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    Dunno why Riise is playing tbh, Babel should be on 10 mins into second half with any luck. I hav'nt seen Pools away strip so far, is it another garrish horror?

    Mike.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,326 ✭✭✭Zapp Brannigan


    It's white. I quite like it actually (I own it!)
    I'm hoping Torres gets a full 90 minutes, I really want to see him score on his debut.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,267 ✭✭✭opr


    I still have major doubts about Kuyt. He keeps getting himself into great positions and seems to do the wrong thing everytime. Gerrard played a great ball into his path between the back two and he was running onto it and decided to check back.

    He really is frustrating to watch at times.

    In fairness to Kuyt he did very well with that ball he has pulled back to Babel, right thing to do and played it very well and Babel has missed by miles...

    Nice to get our first away win out of the way, on balance of play, well deserved.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,664 ✭✭✭gary the great


    That Stevie G is a f-ing legend!

    Great game (well last 20mins)!
    babel looked decent when he came on, should of scored though. Looks a dam sight better than he did in pre season.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,269 ✭✭✭p.pete


    lord that was painful to watch - some good football but we let villa play far too much from about 30mins onwards, could have gone seriously wrong. Sissoko had a terrible cameo at the end, Babel and Torres both look like they could be excellent. Veronin won't find it as easy as pre-season...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,745 ✭✭✭✭Villain


    Well done lads you probably deserved the win.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,326 ✭✭✭Zapp Brannigan


    The ref was awful though wasn't he? Alot of strange decisions went in Liverpools favour. Yeah Momo looked shocking, Babel very lively.
    It's sad to say but Ashley Young made Finnan look old at times.

    Let's all hope we don't have to rely on Stevie for the rest of the season.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,267 ✭✭✭opr


    Wonderful free kick but yet again its that one man getting us out of jail.

    Opr


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,326 ✭✭✭Zapp Brannigan


    Also, Riise really started to annoy me. Very wasteful. But Arbeloa seemed quite comfortable at left back today.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,784 ✭✭✭Dirk Gently


    That was one of the best free kicks I've seen in the PL.
    Babel looked dangerous when he came on, hopefully he'll be good enough to start as the season progresses. It was scary how much Carew was dominating our defence though.


    EDIT: Just noticed nobody managed to get the full 11 on fantasy rafa
