Wow, Aquilani finally can start huh? Should worth a watch.

Well reality check, it ain't gonna be every year that all the English teams will advance from group stages. Didn't watch the game tho, just realised that the lineup didn't have Torres and Aquilani only played for 30 secs.

How's the odds like Lyon will lose to Debrecen?

If Im Rafa, I'd compete with Roma for Pavlyuchenko. Forget about those high class signings from other league, probably will be another flop. You know what is truly a bad time for manager is when they signed someone who perform well in previous clubs but couldn't continue that stint. It does happens to some managers, so there must be a change in approach...Liverpool should go for quality player who's flop in other club.

Pavlyuchenko wanted to leave, but Roma is still negotiating on the price.

5-7 matches more?! Just because of fitness problem? This situation reminds me of Owen in Newcastle.

What happen if Man City is actually goin after Kuyt instead of Torres?

20mil should at least worth a playtime of 20 league games...Not 20 mins. How many times ppl want to hear about problem with match fitness? This is absolutely absurd.

No my point is, adaptability comes with playing time...u know. No wonder the yanks can be so angry. I don't think 1 Aquilani will affect the whole team performance.

I don't think Alonso really did anything either, except he has some confidence about shooting long range and try his luck. Rafa mistake is not that he's losing Alonso...the bigger mistake is himself.

I don't think Arsenal is bad and I don't measure a team by how much they winning games/cups. It's just that, is not so right of a practice of manager not playing a player who's worth 20mils...It's called laziness, lazy to analyze his player potential, lazy to see, lazy to experimenting.

The point is physical or not Aquilani still need that exposures you know...He has been rested for too long already, it wouldn't matter anymore for him to get injured again and begone for the rest of the season. At least do something for this guy man if he wanna play.

I saw someone comment about this, he must be Babel supporter...

The problem is they (Liverpool fans) actually compare Lucas to Alonso... I don't know how bad is Lucas, but gotta blame Rafa tho

I'd get excited too...Do they have replay?

Liverpool plan to swap flop Ryan Babel for Spurs misfit Roman Pavlyuchenko

Well, I don't agree on the part he comment about Xabi Alonso being a ball-passing player.

Well, I don't know if Madrid buy him because of his passing skills, I thought he's more like a dribbler to me.

My wrong...but I still think he's over-rated. And long range passes is all about 50% confidence and 80% luck. It only works in Liverpool, I guess.

Yeah, maybe I was talking about Riera...
