    Ballotelli, the minute he signed I knew we were fcuked.

    So bloody overrated.

    When you see what Suarez put into every single game last season and then you watch Ballotelli. Embarrassing.

    Last minute scraps, that's all he was in the transfer window

    Go on. Out of the forum with you, you nonsensical man.

    Opinions! In here! The audacity.

    Can't we just agree that they're both shìte?

    Neither is the answer and we will continue to struggle big time as long as we are forced to rely on either of them

    I think if you compare him to Suarez he is always going to fall short. He has a lot of talent but Rodgers isn't getting it out of him.

    He hasn't played for us when Gerrard has been further forward, hopefully they can form a bit of a partnership.

    If that's true I wonder how the club came to the conclusion that Balotelli would be a better purchase - cheaper by 3m but with a history.

    Nah.

    Could easily say you are being way too critical of Lambert and being overly-defensive of Mario.

    16m Italian striker bought to be first choice
    VS
    a 4m 3rd/4th 32 year old target man striker bought to be 3rd/4th choice but playing 4 games in two weeks?

    Lambert has already done more this season than Mario has, and in less time too.

    Whilst I'd be happy to have Lambert as a squad player - I wouldn't want Mario at the club to be honest.

    Lambert has been better value for money so far, ill agree wih you there. Though perhaps less bad value for money is more fitting. But in deciding who should start this weekend, i see no reason to take transfer fees into account. Lambert is getting an easy ride because people want to see the local fairytale succeed, balotelli is getting even more abuse than he deserves, and he deserves some, because its fashionable to blame everything on balotelli. Yes hes lazy, yes hes arrogant, yes it annoying, but hes better than ricky lambert, i wont have anyone tell me otherwise.

    As has been pointed out, as long as were depending on either of them as our main striker were fairly ****ed.

    It's only the attitude, will to win I'm comparing to Suarez. I wouldn't even compare talent as they are miles apart.

    Skittle should be in goal with a left arm like that

    We also need to bit of confidence going into the Arsenal game do we really want to be the first rival side to lose to them in how many years has it been since they beat a rival.

    Like they beat us last season you mean?

    Collymore just said on BT sport that john Henry has come close twice to sacking Brendan Rogers.

    Good old Collymore, anything to get the phones hopping. Probably heard it off some ITK on twatter.

    I'm feeling a little bit more confident about Sundays game with the news that di maria is out. They have a lack of pace in the team without him. Fellani Carrick mata a possible midfield 3. If we could play a high tempo and get a bit of pace into our team there isn't too much to fear. Despite all their signings it's probably only Rojo that will start. Granted we have done nothing in 3 months to inspire too much confidence.

    They can't deal with direct pace. Southampton tore them apart the other night but just couldn't finish. I say moreno sterling markovic and coutinho must start

    Last year's team would destroy that ManU team. This year's team however doesn't have me confident going into any match unfortunately

    Wow Carlos starting for Brighton in 10 minutes.

    I think the midfield will have herrera instead of mata with Fellaini and Carrick with a front three of Rooney, Falcao and Van Persie.

    exactly, our attack last season against that defense and you're looking at carnage. Beat them 3-0 there last year when they had a better defense than now and we had about 3 good penalty shouts turned down and missed plenty of chances.

    However our attack currently is exactly what their defense needs, blunt, immobile, impotent.

    I think we'll have plenty of possession and dominate for long periods but their greater firepower will be decisive


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,404 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    They might play their B team considering they did a number on us last year.

    Mario hatrick on Sunday would be fkin beautiful for a myriad of different reasons.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,258 ✭✭✭✭klose


    I wonder will hyypia get much more time at brighton, losing again and in the relegation zone. Considering the amount of loanees they have i cant imagine the owner backed him a while lot?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,159 ✭✭✭✭Francie Barrett


    Teixeira doing ok so far.
