    Alonso dropped. Ballsy from Rafa. I think it might work today, but I don't think it'll work long term. Gerrard is now once again the deciding factor in whether or not Liverpool win. If he can perform well and dictate play well, Liverpool will win. If not, they will lose. 2 years ago all over again.

    in fairness whatever player starts in those holding positions will dictate the play if they play well enough. not fair to say its like 2 years ago - we are a much better side in every position now.

    Alonso has a dead-ish leg apparently. Argies win today so Masch won't be back for a while :(

    But on the bright side, Babel is on his way home

    Ramos isn't a premiership manager. You could get away with his tactics and offensive play in La Liga but not the Prem.

    Welcome back Woody :D

    It was a good game to watch, Spurs flair for 10mins arsing with the ball then Boro would just hit them direct and cause all sortsa problems. Spurs: the new Arsenal.

    Alves is a real handful, great find.

    Glad for Ince, he'll be under pressure the whole season (and it was at the Toffees expense :) )

    No but they gambled on him when nobody else would. Bit like Blackburn and Santa Cruz. Boro gonna have trouble holding onto Alves IMHO.

    Could well do. We need a good finish this season if we're going to hang on to most of our stars i.e. Alves, Downing and quite possibly Wheater.

    Lol 2mins 2secs - Robbie Keane's first aimless stepover dummy that leads to the breakdown of an attack.

    Some things never change.

    That's not a bad midfield they have there. Not a particularly good one either, but definitely an improvement on what they started with last season.

    Diouf looks so incredulous when things don't go his way. He should cheer up. Smile more :)

    Andy Reid looks so unfit, how does he get away being so overweight?

    Anyone know :S

    He may be 'overweight' but he doesn't even not do the running he's meant to. Also he's very talented so its fine :)

    Gerrard is clearly on instructions to shoot on sight :) Somebody doesn't rate Gordon :)

    On a side note, how does Gerrard hit that corner so that it goes up and down so much. Which part of the ball does he hit?

    **** reffing,
    firstly if you let play go on your playing the advantage, the hint is in the name,
    the advantage there was the clear penalty,
    then the wall thing which bugs me in all games - I remember him booking someone who wanted the awall put back once.
