After 15 mins its 1-1. Liverpool took the lead through Lucas only to hold onto it for less that 2 mins. Not a bad first 15 mins.

/starts watching again.

dardoz · 16-07-2008 06:21PM

is this on anywhere else apart from justin.tv??

I thought all the pre season games were meant to be on on lfc tv

flanzer · 16-07-2008 06:45PM

Pacheco looks fairly lively...I'd say the lad got a good future ahead of him

IrishMike · 16-07-2008 06:48PM

Sergio Aguero, 20, has ruled out the possibility of a move to Chelsea or Manchester United by insisting he wants to stay at Atletico Madrid "for one or two years more" (1943 BST Press Association).

Good, if we aint getting him i definitely dont want Chelsea or United getting him

gixerfixer · 16-07-2008 07:32PM

I dont care if Voronin scores 20 goals in pre season,the guy isnt Liverpool standard.Get rid

Karmafaerie · 16-07-2008 07:33PM

Good all around play by HHH and a well taken goal.
Still think he'll impress this seasson.

Pacheo did well.

mike65 · 16-07-2008 07:34PM

So then 2-1 win, with a largely reserve team for much of the game. Kuyt got a brief run out towards the end as it Masch (dunno why Rafa bothers with either him or Lucas as hes just getting them fit for for the Olympics

).

better to have them in top condition before going so they'll be less likely to pick up an injury.

:rolleyes:

So sad.

The guy scores 5 goals with 9 assists in 13 games, as a fourth choice striker, in his first season in a new country, playing out of position, and breaking his leg halfway through the season, but he's not good enough.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you not one of the bandwagon who bark on about Alonso being injured last season, so we shouldn't be critical of him.
Voronin started less games than Alonso, but got more goals and assists.
(And yes I know that Voronin is a forward, but how many forwards get more than one assist every two games?!!)

I don't give a flying f**k how bad Voronin's hair is (which seems to be most peoples problem with him), he's definitely more than good enough to be our fourth/fifth choice striker, and I'm really looking forward to shoving all of these vile filled quotes down peoples throats when he proves it in a few months.

Edit: Sorry got my assists wrong.
Meant to say 4 assists, and that he got twice as many as Xabi.

(It was also 6 goals in all competitions, but who's counting!;))

I must say I'm not a fan of Voronin, but have to agree it's pretty sad alright the problem some have with his hair. Compare it to Keanes 'celebration' when he scores, couldn't give two fecks, I'll still be cheering when Voronin scores or Keane for that matter

The game was live on Channel 5, as is the game on Saturday. Channel 5 must still have time left on whatever deal they did to show Liverpool pre-season games, they've showed a number of them live over the last few years. LFCTV will show a replay of the full game the following day.

Pacheco played really well up front, lacked a finish as he had a couple of excellent changes he should have put away, but was a constant threat.

Good to see the forgotten man Leto playing again, wonder is his visa stuff sorted out.

And ............. Voronin looked excellent, had a really good game, he looked a steal for a free transfer

How does Pacheco measure up physically? I haven't seen him yet myself but I've been told he's quite small.

Karmafaerie · 16-07-2008 10:51PM

Quick warning.
The Liverpool goals ae down bellow incase you don't wanna see them for some reason.

Lucas

Great play by Pacheco.
What a pass.

Voronin

Great finish.

Karmafaerie · 16-07-2008 10:56PM

LMFAO!!!

:D:D

Seen this?

I still think he can do this in a Liverpool jersey this season.

mayordenis · 17-07-2008 12:23AM

he's small yea.
doesn't matter a **** a though.

DeadSkin · 17-07-2008 06:52AM

From the BBC this morning;

Liverpool are edging closer to signing Robbie Keane and will submit an improved bid for the Tottenham striker after making him their top priority. (Various)

To add to that, on the radio this morning, reports Rafa is sick of the Barry saga[as we all are at this stage], and is making Robbie his number 1 target \o/.
Reports also say Robbie has told friends, he expects to be a Liverpool player by the start of the season.

Dont be at yourself · 17-07-2008 06:57AM

Barry has picked up a foot injury that will keep him out of training for a week.

O'Neill wasn't at training yesterday, so they have yet to cross paths, it would seem.

Supposedly, Liverpool's continued interest in Barry was reliant on him returning to training, as they don't want to sign an unfit player so close to the season kick-off.

I'll be delighted if we turn our attention to Keane.

kaimera · 17-07-2008 07:22AM

Keane instead of GB with Alonso staying?

I'd be happy with that. Wondered if Keane would be suited to us a while back; for all his fail or whatever with Ireland, he always seemed to do well in Eng.

Nice to see what he can do upfront for us.

--amadeus-- · 17-07-2008 07:49AM

Voronin has bags of talent and when he has the time and the space he can do wonders, IIRC he had a brilliant pre-season last year as well and scored a couple of nice goals early on. The difficulty is that the standard of the defenders he meets week in week out in the Premiership is that bit higher so he tends to have to hurry a bit, loses his composure and fluffs it. If he could keep his head a bit more he would do better but he certainly has the ability to be a back up squad player.

Keane in, Alonso staying, no Barry. All sounds good to me!

Voronin restored Liverpool's lead on 36 minutes with a 16-yard lob. It was the kind of audacity that Manchester City would pay upward of £25million for.

Who says the Liverpool website doesn't give impartial match reports

Watched some highlights on the site and Pacheco may be small but he's strong enough and can pick a pass. The pass for Lucas' goal reminded me of Luis Garcia.

zAbbo · 17-07-2008 09:21AM

He's only 17 as well.

Vorinin looked really sharp pre-season last year as well, he's not a bad player, and I don't really understand the abuse he gets.

He'll probably never get a run of games, and it's always difficult to see a bit part strikers contribution when they don't score every game. Saying that his record isn't bad, and I'd be more than happy to have him play in cup games or against weaker teams in the prem.

Keane in, Alonso staying, no Barry. All sounds good to me too!

mike65 · 17-07-2008 09:28AM

Rafa should pair Voro and Pacheco for the league cup and see what happens

Mike.
