Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 11/12 August

Thanx 4 The Fish

All, as you know, superthreads are causing some problems with the running of boards and the reason is that every 10th post on a thread, VBulletin implements a recount on the number of posts on it to make sure it's correct which has implications for the number of pages and so on. So we will be breaking superthreads into monthly increments where warranted. This is the first of them.

Old thread here.

Carry on as you were, or maybe not as you were, maybe with 10-15% less messing about please .

First! \0/

Ne'er mind... just read your post >_>

Looking forward to the game this afternoon. Hoping for an improvement on the Sunderland game where we completely lost the run of the second half. Hope Aqua is there or there abouts as we need someone in the middle that can hang onto possession

Thanx 4 The Fish

Not just phantom pages issue, has wider ranging consequences than that but pretty much yes, that or just cut them every 10k posts, if it gets that big in a month we will have to start a new one anyway.

Second thread and we've only played one match this season.

What are you on about?

what i think, but that said...kenny is a smarter man than me

would be surprised if aqua didnt make the bench today for that extra burst for the last 15-20 mins.

with skrtle back as centre back cover kelly should start on the right with flanno one the bench...

im sure kenny will make it clear to him its not as a direct result of his mistake last week if im right.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Took me a second there, I was thinking that was an ambitious formation with a flat four up top.

Would like to see that but doubt it.

Do you not think that Kenny could throw out another curve-ball and pick Flanagan again? He obviously likes and rates him and may not want to destroy his confidence by axing him because of last week.

Suarez will have the roaming roll behind Carroll as per usual.

Still think Meireles might start in the Adam role, 4-2-3-1

Glico Man

I'd see that, but with Suarez pushed up more, in behind Carroll (ooh matron :pac:) as a link man.

i was fancying flanno all along too...but with the return of squirtle thatll rule him out i think..

my reasoning is that i think flanno started against sunderland so kelly could be kept as cover for the centre

Wouldn't be surprised if he picks Kuyt ahead of him. It'll be interesting to see how Kenny reacts to it. Kelly might get the nod as it's still a nod to young, home grown players. Nice to have the options especially if Johnson is fit.

Rumours doing the rounds the Aqua hasnt even traveled with the squad and is on his way to Italy tonight.

probably based on the picture of suarez on the train...
doni was there...speaking italian..why was sitting at a table with maxi, lucas and suarez...all spanish speakers....

so the logical conclusion for the rumour mill is...

aquiliani must be moving to an italian club

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but Doni is.....BRAZILIAN!

If this is true then it'll be a disaster for this thread.

Means he'll become the noose to hang around Kenny's neck when LFC have a bad game and loads of posts saying he shouldn't have sold Aqua, and KK has no idea etc.

Wish he'd picked him for a couple of games, if he plays bad then it'll be obvious to us all and he can move him on without debate,and if he plays well then we all win.
Moving him on without him being picked is going to add 'Aquilani' to the
'Is Carroll worth £35m' and 'Net Spend' classic thread discussion list!

Or Aquilani tried to shag Doni's missus years ago and Doni hasn't forgiven him!

Mata on the brink of signing for Chelsea for £23.5m apparently.

i blame the inbetweeners...im tired and shouldnt be posting

Yes, saw that, but also seen fees of £28m mentioned. Hard to know which to believe.

So much for people here saying he could be got for less than Downing.

Interesting to see how does, after so much hype about him.

joey barton has really been giving it socks on the epetition thing, was just wondering if anyone knows whether or not the Liverpool players who tweet are doing similar?

Who knows... he could wake up in the middle of the night, sneeze and put his back out again.

But jest aside, I'd be 100% confident he will play if fit

I fancy him to score against Arsenal, Arsenal will be to busy with Carroll to focus on Agger who is also good at the crosses iirc

Would be a handy bet to put on imo. Scored 2 goals in preseason that came from corners. He's not the best at attacking the ball from corners, none of our centre backs are apart from the Greek, but he gets into those positions where he could take advantage if the keeper spills the ball or the defender doesn't clear it.

I really hope the Lucas Adam centre isn't our default lineup this season. I just think its unnecessarily weak.

So i was out on the lash tonight, in town(Dublin) Whelans to be exact. Got home and noticed the stamp on my hand was a little redder than usual .... tarted it up with photoshop because that's how i roll.



There's gonna be some confused and angry united fans(what's new) waking up tomorrow with a liver bird on their hand! All I can say is, fair play to the bouncer of Whelans, classic troll job. Good night and good luck.
