No player is untouchable.

When the player played poorly, then give other a chance.
Just like Ngog, top scorer for the team but yet being denied a starting place.

My view.
Carra last ditch tackle and game reading is better than Skrtel and still valuable to the team. Not to mention, Skrtel like to hold on opponent/opponent shirt in own penalty area, when set-piece and corner kick time
Pairing another CB with a better pace can compliment each other.

I don't understand the issue.

How come Texas can interfere with UK matter?

I do not expect Liv to spend big and challenge the title.

What I would like to see is the club heading into right direction in term of financial aspect, aka do not spend beyond the club ability while at the sametime, seek opportunity to generate more revenue like new stadium, better and sound investment on players, develop academy for the future, breed young new player.

A top 7 finish and challenge 4th place year over year while in the progress of redevelop is more a realistic target.

New bigger stadium is a must and priority for the club future.

Acquire nearby houses, and get agreement from nearby families to reallocate can be as costly as building a new stadium, and more difficult to be done.
No doubt, majority fans, players want expansion to retain the Anfield sentiment, but it is not easy task.


Parking is not major issue, I live in UK before. In such a country, you don't need to buy a car to travel around. In fact, even in London, we don't see traffic congestion like KL and in most Asian cities.

You just ride public transport and walk to your destination.
Sorry I never been Liverpool before, so I don't know the actual situation there.
Just post my experience there.

Public transport is good, when a bus is scheduled to arrive at 3.00pm, around 3pm, you will see the bus coming!
Unlike here, you never know when the bus will arrive.

Even without picture, time and time again, media already talked it is across the park only.

The other one look more like a cricket stadium.

More money doesn't mean better player or right player as well.

Right personnel, right tactic, right mentality approaching to the game are more important.
Play with 2 DM with Poulsen + Lucas, even you have Torres, Ronaldo, Drogba in the team, with current display, may not get you a win either.

There are many many others team playing 10x better than Liv, even with so called "cheaper" player around.
Look how energetic and positive WBA was last night, they were looking for a win against MU in Old Trafford after getting the equaliser. This is the mentality a team should have.
Not the like, play for a draw only.
You play for win, not draw.
Negative mindset will only lead to negative result.

League table always never lie.

It could mean need to redo all the piling work to withstand more higher load, eventually mean dismantle current stand, and doing the piling work and build stand again.
If like this, building a new one from scratch could mean easier and cheaper.

No positive display until Chritsmas, then time's up.

It is not only poor performance, but mentality also not right.

Added on October 17, 2010, 3:02 pmNot 100% actually, the year when Liv finished second during 08/09 season, both were trouble by injury all season long, and seldom play together, particular Torres.

Unlucky?

Liv has played 10 matches at least until now, I had not seen a single match, with good performance. Even got just briefly 10-20min, the rest, don't want to talk.

You cannot be 19th in league table after 8 games with "unlucky".
This is a must win match, even with "luck", Liv deserve a draw only.
Draw? 38points, relegation candidate.

Liv 1 win out of 8 matches stat speaks all.


Even with the last 20 mins, Everton never look will concede a goal either.

Liv as a team has no clue in final third. I wonder, whether they practice passing game, thru ball pass, or some creative pass at all during training.
Trailing behind 2-0, never has sign of coming back at all.

Languishing in 19th or 20th make no different.

Like that, will Liverpool be "unlucky" to be relegated when season finish?

League table never lie.
Liv is sitting on 19th with second worst GD.

Is this a unlucky??

Even play 1 striker after 2-0 down.

You cannot play 1 upfront with defender defend deep, and never push up for higher line.
It just means isolating your striker only.
This only work for smaller team that look for draw or damage control when facing much much stronger team, which mainly adopted by relegation battle team against top team.

Oh wait.. Liv is under relegation battle.

This afternoon, I just read this.

The manager said it is not a crisis!

For such a club, Liv sitting on 19th place after 8 games is not a crisis, then is what?
A norm?

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id...england&cc=4716

The only 1 win in 8 games, come from scrappy game against WBA, which in that game, WBA is the team deserve to win somemore based on performance.

Sigh, don't know when Liv can come out with good performance to win even 1 game.

I simply cannot 'tahan' to see those pre-match and post match comment.

When everyone see Liv had a poor game, and lose 2-0
The post match comment is - Liv has a good second half and unlucky.
The actual fact, Everton let you play as they are leading comfortably and play with counter-attack, save energy. A team leading comfortably won't go all out to attack you again.

When Liv languishing in 19th place after 8 games, everyone knows it is a crisis or at least a mini-crisis (for those super optimistic one)
Post match comment - There is no crisis.

Sometimes, I taught I watched the wrong game.

I agree what Duke had said.
A manager may excel in a smaller club, doesn't mean one is capable to handle a big top club with star player around.
A manager may excel in Serie A doesn't mean one will be good in PL, and the style of football is totally different.

One thing is I would like to say is that please do not hire manager based on cv on cup game.
Cup result can lie, while league table/stat won't.

Added on October 18, 2010, 3:20 pmIt is hard to find any excuse from this stat.

The 1 is also a scrappy 1-0, by Torres only goal of this season.
Liv is not only fragile in defence, but also goal drought on the attacking side.
Double blow, that's why league table won't lie.

Reputation is not about getting trophy only.

Just like Rafa, he has good reputation in CL, whereby Liv was always the team that being feared in CL under him, while may not win any trophy or second in the final result.
Some managers do have good reputation despite winning little trophy.

AW almost win nothing for the past few year, it doesn't mean reputation going down either.
Reputation come from how well the manager guide the team forwards, how well the manager able to perform and ability to turn thing around.
The most important how well the team can play under the manager.
