Liverpool FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 11/12 (End of March 2012 onwards)

I truly do miss being involved in the big European nights.

We shall return one day.

From watching that video if luck had been a little different Downing would be seen as a good buy Suarez would be up with the top goal scores even hendo would be after a good season!

Reminds me of that Jay Jay Okocha season with Bolton. The previous year he scored a nice few, 7 in the league. But the next season he just couldn't score in the league. IIRC he hit the woodwork more than any other player that year, and according to ESPN soccernet, had 110 shots!

The following season, he got 6 in the league.

This season hopefully is just a similar anomaly.

Over the moon for Torres

Am genuinely delighted for Torres.

Can't begrudge them that after that display. Di Mateo seems to have the Rafa touch in European football.

Bit lucky in comparison but was familiar at times to 'Pools epic Stadio Del Allpi performance in 05.

Yep, we are well used to displays like tonight under Rafa.

Fair play to Torres, as long as he doesn't do the same against us at Wembley or at Anfield.

Torres is still crap lads, a lucky breakaway goal doesn't make him Marco Van Basten.

Fair play to Chelsea though, magnificent defensive performance

Just on the Kenny thing, I keep thinking of an article posed a couple of times in the English Independent pointing out the lack of support and advice for him, starting with the Suarez thing, poor legal advice ad Commoli wasn't up to it as a DoF type.

If Kenny is to stay, there needs to be a root and branch reform of the support levels given to him. The legal advice in the Suarez case a classic example of poor advice.

As for the Liverpool way, the Liverpool way is to acknowledge when you are outplayed, applauding Arsenal in 1989 a perfect example, the problem is we've seen it far too often lately, particularly this season.

As for getting behind the team, with Anfield so quiet, I'm afraid Kess seems to be the exception to the rule. I've my doubts about Dalglish and his signings but when Carroll scores a match winning goal, I'll rub it in to his doubters because I hope it means it's the start of something. I'll carry that onto the next match, but it seems there's an inevitable doom expected by the majority of home support at matches. Yeah, Liverpool aren't where we expect but we've a record to defend, to get above our lowest placed level in 50 years.

That's a target that means a lot to me, as much as a Cup Final.

To all the Liverpool fans saying 2005 final was more dramatic, I don't recall that being played at the Nou Camp. But whatever you say...

Excellent away performance topped off with a goal from an ex Liverpool striker! Well done David Ngog and Bolton!
