Got space in Barca for Masch to play ?

Can he replace Xavi or Iniesta as a midfielder ? ...

Its been a long time since we signed a well known CM and im quite stoked with the signing with Meireles to be honest, decent signing indeed. Well done Roy though im still aghast with the arrival of Konchesky

Meireles Agger

Agger's found himself a roommate with something in common...

That aside...
With the impending signing of Meireles and Konchesky    i would think this is how our first team we'll line up for the upcoming season provided everyone is fit,

------------------------Reina---------------------------------------

---------Johnson- Carra- Agger -Konchesky  ------

----------------------Meireles--------------------

---------------Kuyt- Gerrard-Cole-Jovanovic----------------

------------------------Torres------------------------------

Subs:

Jones
Skrtel
Poulsen
Ngog
Lucas
Babel
Aurelio

With either Cole or Gerrard supporting Torres upfront..I stll cant get out of my head the fact that Roy is signing Konchesky

Somehow, Rafa will always be thankful for bring in the like of Torres, Luis, Reina, Xabi, Masch, Fowler, Yossi, Agger, Skrtel, Johnsy... despite the fact he wasted plenty more money on those fringe players.

Second that. Misplace passes and didn't do much at all.Worse than Lucas in terms of performances.

Anyway, overall, the performance we produced was disastrous.

Besides Torres who was trying his best, the rest were practically invisible throughout the match. This is what I think of their performance.

Reina:
Looked calm in front of goal.Didn't do much as most of the shots were tame shots. Rating: 6

Glenny:
Was poor in general. Keep insisting to beat the player despite being stopped by the opponents repeatedly throughout the match. His PREDICTABLE dribbling skill makes it easy for the opponent. Rating: 5

Carra:
Gave his best in the match.Made few decent tackles. Nothing more.His lack of pace always means that some player gonna beat the shit out of him.Being outpaced by the opponents at least 2 times in the game. Rating: 5

Skrtel:
I can see that he was trying to give his all in the match.However, this is not wrestling match. For that kind of dragging and pushing he made, he could easily cost us few penalties.He is lucky to escape the cards and the penalties because the referee is linear enough to let him go.Also, in one of the corner for West Brom, he actually lose the target he supposed to guard. Poor defending from him.The positive is, that shot he made.Pretty close... Rating: 5

Agger:
Being played in LB yet again.Out of position from time to time. Most of the time, I saw him in the box rather than in the flank which is why in the first half, a lot of the long ball from West Brom was aimed at the left flank and not the right flank.The good thing is, he reads the game well and tackles well too.That compensate for the lack of pace in him. Rating: 5

Kuyt:
Was better in second half. His assist was well deserved. Well placed crossing.Gave in an ok performance. Rating: 6

Poulsen:
Misplaced passes.Practically invisible in the game. Rating: 4

Lucas:
Looks decent in passing the ball in the second half. Could be better if he can slide in more tackles.Good run in getting Morrison sent off. Rating: 5

Gerrard
Put in few delighted passes that would have won us the game if Torres scored them.However, he seems unmotivated throughout the match.Pretty much invisible besides the few quality passes. Rating: 5

Jovanovic:
I am starting to like him. Always try his best on pitch. Pity him get dragged down by the leg for no reason. However, one thing I noticed is that he lacks the finishing. Two times he got the chance in the box, he  blew them wide. One during the Arsenal match. Another one, tonight. Overall, a decent performance. Rating: 6

Torres:
Kinda impressed when I saw Torres chasing the ball, tackling and closing down the opponents.Worth mentioning is that his understanding with Gerrard is still as good as the past.His performance? His 50th goal at Anfield says it all.For the numbers of chances we created for him, I consider him to play well. Rating:7

==========================================================================
P.S:

Cant find a better day.

THREE POINTS

Torres' 50th goal at anfield.

Our 2000th victory

New Number 4

Tottenham, MC all lose.

Got a feeling RH is trying to ship out most of RB's players and rebuild his own team...

but why swap babel? i find tat kinda ridiculous
