The middle finger was shown before half time.. me & my brother saw it very clearly but was not very sure because it turns real quick to another scene.. and ref definately missed it

if i remember correctly, he showed middle finger to lucas after a tackle from lucas.. it was a quick (and sneaky) middle finger.. the ref did not see it, but liverpool players was trying to report to the reff.. he did not get any card for that..

Our previous target, Juan Mata has been snapped up by Chelsea..

weird thing is, his previous release clause 20m euro chelsea not showing any interest, but now bid 30m euro and straight get his signature... what to do, this is the way chelsea do business, pay over the odds... 50m~~~ teehee

^but i think we had enough midfielder, no need to add some more. it's time to offload. :

nope.. next season perhaps... with new brand..

the home kit will change every 2 seasons right?

aqua should stay

before this yes.. but now club could change the kit every season since the sponsor could change every year

Unfortunately he won't be staying as AC Milan is in contact with his agent and will be approaching us soon...their president Silvio Berlusconi confirmed it. He seems to prefer staying in Italy since his Juventus days last season.

Thats why Kenny is not naming him on the bench at all. Oh well...we're pretty packed in the midfield department anyways...don't forget Gerrard hasn't played for us this season yet, and we're looking pretty good already.

Didnt really realize Frimpong showed middle finger to Lucas after he got a tackle frm Lucas in the first half. I thought Frimpong showed middle finger after he tackle Lucas in the second half which cause him the second yellow card in second half. haha. No wonder Meireles imitidate Frimpong XD . Anyway, the introduction of Suarez and Meireles in the final 20 minutes changed the game ! Too many long balls in the first half and Downing is quality in the left and right wing crossing balls to the penalty box .
Im sure Carroll would hit some goals with his head sometime and sooner . Enrique and Kelly is magnificant in the left and right back . Blocking Arshawin and Walcott has no chance to cross the ball to the danger area ! YNWA !

agreed..imo king kenny must play another striker paired with carrol up front..play carrol as lone striker may end up loss of possesion due to excessive use of long ball(2nd half against sunderland)..when they are another striker with him, they can try on different approach for attacking..
slick passing through ball in middle for suarez..use wide option for carrol..or use carrol as hold striker for suarez..
juz my opinion though..

present squads look very solid in physical

Haha i saw that on TV as well, the quick middle finger from pingpong... TV gotcha it !

the prob is in my view,, aqua is the most technical in most midfielder we get.. he even has more creativity than gerrard.. thus havin him in a squad is a bonus especially against defensive minded team..

see against arsenal in last game for example.. at 1st half, whole team unable to break against arsenal defence back line who are packed with inexperienced player.. tis showed how lacks of quality the team was.. glad to hav suarez n meireless at last minute who luckily break their fortress..

it was a 'luck' 3 points. (i'll still take it regardless how it was claimed).

Against a team thats quite depleted (sorry arsenal but almost every feels the is the weakest arsenal in years, granted the injuries n lack of personel)

I'm not so critical of KD's tactics on the starting lineup with carroll leading which on a hindsight using carroll first meant a at your toes arsenal, then shifting tactics (aided by the red card) to overun arsenal.

I hope aqualani stays, there are still much more games ahead & against the other big guns, his vision is valuable.

On why the insistance on more english players first? perhaps just perhaps there is some truth our spaniard gaffer felt about... (shrug)

I'll take anything we can get at the moment. The first goal was fortuitous but we're due some good fortune aren't we?

Not the most convincing display but much better that the 2nd half against Sunderland, who lost at home to Newcastle incidentally. Sheds some perspective at least.

Arsenal were there for the taking, we knew it before the game kicked off. I'm just glad we did the job we were expected to do unlike last week. That being said, Arsenal did boast a forward line of Walcott, Nasri, Arshavin and Van Persie. Some credit needs to be given to the likes of Enrique who had Walcott in his back pocket and Lucas for pressing to win the ball each time it crossed into our half. Sure he made mistakes in possession but it was his defensive game that came to the fore against Arsenal. Arsenal also had Vermaelen, Sagna and Ramsey in the side. Sure they were understaffed but they didn't exactly field a team of reserves. Note also that we fielded a bewildered looking Carroll and clueless Henderson in our side. The fact that Meireles and Suarez made such a different upon coming on shows that we didn't exactly field our strongest side either. I'm not wearing rose tinted glasses, I'm just calling it like it is.

& the fans will continue to give both the stick!! see what had happen to lucas!!

both will develope, the sooner the better!

I can't comment on Henderson. I've not seen him play prior to joining Liverpool. I think $20 million was a lot to pay for a player most of us never paid any attention to. I do hope he comes good as has Lucas but from what I can see, he lacks confidence at the moment and his large price tag is doing him no favours. He seems impatient on the ball when he need to be more composed. It's as though he's so afraid of making mistakes that he wants to get rid of if soon as he receives it. I'm still a fan of Carroll. I think he'll come good in time. For some reason I can't comprehend, he looks a little soft at the moment, going down under nothing challenges. Where's the robust, no-nonsense player I saw at Newcastle? Looks a little sluggish as well since pre-season and I hope he shakes it off soon.
