Wow. A teams not been humiliated at Old Trafford like this since Man Utd. By Andrea Dossena

its still puzzling me why DC is at the match last night  . besides arshavin who would u all think that he's targeting? or he just simply there to watch/study the match?

definitely biased. no surprise.

but i agree

Reina > De Gea

Lucas > Carrick

others i think man u players have the edge.

Close call

Young > Downing

Suarez > Berba

and because im biased:

Carragher 1000000+ > Ferdinand

We did have good times under GH. When was the last time we won 5 cups in a single season? Problem was we became very one dimensional and predictable.

Added on August 30, 2011, 11:01 pmMmm Ashley Young isn't a conventional winger though is he? I mean his stronger foot is his right one but he plays on the left, much like our Joe Cole.

I am not that worry considering he trained with Suarez and Forlan in national team and now we can see battle against him and andy in training ground =) hopefully he can be our new sami !

under the wrong hands?

i just read that Arteta accepted a pay cut....from 75k a week to 55k...just to join Arsenal...
a good example that there are players out there who are willing to take a pay cut to play CL football and play for a big club...

I think he is too old and slow to play on right wing roles nowadays...in midfielder we have charlie who do the playmaker job

It's not about sentiments, it's a fact that he's the best DM in the team. No one can do what he does, not even Gerrard - at least not without you sacrificing Gerrard's other abilities which is attacking and terrorizing the oppositions. If you were to ask the oppositions whether they prefer Gerrard to stay back defending or attacking them i bet they would choose the former. Also a lot of people thinks it's easy to play DM when it's actually not. It's not just about getting yourself dirty going down tackling. It's also about reading the game and having the tactical discipline to stay in sync with the rest of the team. I can't be bothered to find the quotes but there are plethora of quotes from managers and coaches who claimed Gerrard simply do not have the tactical brain to become a central midfielder. At this point of his career, there's no point to reinvent the wheels and have him do something which he has not able to do with great success. I know what you're trying to say but for me it's counter productive to force out a DM out of hte team so we could play an attacking minded player to play as a DM.

anyways if you have your brains busted reading this, back to the Lucas vs Gerrard on DM role,

my point is Lucas has been doing it almost his entire career, and he plays well to the orchestra, no under-doing, no overdoing it.

TBH, Gerrard's defensive skills are kinda reckless... The most I remember abt him was chasing back and do a sliding tackle whenever he lost a man...

Tat's why I don't really think he fit the shoe as a DM... He can play as Xabi Alonso, but not Lucas. As far as I am concerned, without Lucas, our rather weak defensive line should've conceded hell lots of goals.

!@#$$%%^&**((

Have just added this to my collection of Liverpool books. Purchased from Kinokuniya yesterday.

I have a question. Will Gerrard be able to fit in to a team that is playing so well together?

Agreed, but we need to find a way to integrate him n help him start scoring consistently, this is a long season n we're short of cover up front if suarez is injured& carroll not scoring,  we're in big trouble.
