and for those who are blaming insua for the goal.
here are some screenshots i just did.



here for some stupid reason Kyrgiakos decides to continue humping Aquilani even tho he has no chance of getting the ball, and has obviously completely lost his sense of awareness as Huth sneaks in from behind.


the line before the goal, insua is correct in maintaining the line.
Kyrgiakos deserting his mark, and both Skrtel and Carra failing to clear the ball, as well as Carra not realising Huth was there all contributed to the goal.

the reason is some people are born luckier and born WINNER. KING KENNY IS ONE OF THEM , HE AIN'T SKILLS BUT LUCK. full positive energy!

King Kenny or not, also nvm. The one Liverpool urgent need is to play positive, dare to play, go for it, strong determination to win game, instead of putting up a line-up not to lose like playing 8 defensive minded players in starting 11, if count in GK, then 9.

unless u have no idea what u just typed...
breaking transfer records and total spending are obviously not related.
someone can buy 20 players at 2m each with none breaking any transfer records and still spend 40m total.

and if u go wiki or whatever, u'll see that blackburn finished 7th in the season after dalglish stepped down.

and pls dont talk about the 90s...
cos in 95 andy cole obviously went to MU for 7m.
shearer followed in 96 to newcastle for a massive 15m, bought by keegan, sold by dalglish.

so that 27m spent is peanuts.

Stoke (Sorensen to be exact) also made a stupid mistake by giving us our goal...so we were pretty lucky there

The most important issue we have to look at is...we're very short up front. Ngog's touches and dribble in the Stoke game was easily readable by the experienced Stoke defence, rendering him useless.

If our luck were a lil bit worse, we would have lost 1-0. We need firepower up front to bang in goals...or at least to distract/outmuscle/pull away defenders so that our midfielders can step in and have a go at goal. Jones seems like a pretty good choice, even if Torres is back he can take the position Gerrard has been struggling this season.

Gerrard can stay back a bit and be the playmaker like the earlier days....

Thats why Benitez is linked to sign Heskey and Carew cause they can cause problems in the back four by simply being there. If only Crouch is still around...

If I'm not mistaken, the 3.5m spent on Shearer and 5m on Sutton were breaking transfer record as well.

I have no doubts he has eyes for talents.But at this very moment, if he does become the new manager, replacing Rafa, he will want to have his own men as well.

Lucas, Kuyt and some other Rafa old favourites might not be his type of players he want.In other words, there are a lot of positions to improve yet so little money available.

My doubts remain whether he can be as good manager as he was during his time with Blackburn.Though,I have no doubts, someone like him, an icon of the club taking over the place would bring in a huge boost of morale and positive energy.

If Insua and Carra push up (like the rest did), then the Stoke players (3 including Huth) will be offset when the first header to Huth time.

As I said before, half of the team push up, half stay back, poor defending. Be it zonal or man marking, both also poor.

This is the ironic part.I remember last few games, there were bunch of us scolding Rafa for not putting 2 defenders guarding the posts.So, when they guard, it's of course, the opponents are onside but if they dont guard, Reina might concede goals because there are too many people in the box and hardly anyone helping him out.

To guard or not to guard?

that was only english and was marginally higher than what most were spending then anyway, and of cos they're nowhere near the world record fee.
and thats not a few, just a couple.

in case u dont know, u cannot be offside from a corner.
so having the whole team push up is just pointless.

If Insua at left post, instead of right or both post are guarded, then may be can prevent the goal.

Either guard both, or not guard, but take in between and take the wrong side.

Seriously, it is better to guard the post, with Insua and Masherano, as both won't win you much header against opponent 6ft+ centre back. My view only.

Precisely.That left me wonder how the hell they arranged the marking thing.Mascherano against huth? Serious? And Carra who can take on Huth guard the post.

nm, lets just say the whole team fell to another set play.
which started with kyrgiakos being led away from the center and huth sneaking in behind him

It seems like Torres surgery is a successful one..

trolls trolls, come out wherever you are.

and i thought you put people on the post during corner melees to clear the ball off the goal line. seriously, isn't that the case?

also n'gog has NO first touch. He sticks a limb out and hopes the ball doesn't bounce too far away

SAF to manage LFC?

direct swap...rafa to manage MU

I can imagine us hitting headlines everyday! This decision sucks, that decision dumb.

like ive said...the zonal that we used to play wouldve rendered Huth offside...this morphed zonal is the one to blame...

but the ball wasnt delivered straight to Huth from the corner kick...it was headed on by a Stoke player to Huth....thus subjecting the play to offside rule as that player who headed the ball to Huth actually played the ball to Huth...

but blackburn nailed it for the trophy right???
