mourino would be ok here but won't be any greater.

Tactically I still think he is a shade behind even rafa/kd. No doubt his famous hallmark 'man management' may be miles better but I always suspect he puts more emphasis on mind games to deflect the team/flaws etc

in situations at times, it may be proper to pass to a team mate. sometimes within the 6 yard the attention (defender marking) & the keeper (anticipates or close out he angles).

suarez is pretty good in tight spaces, but the rush to shoot thereafter would probably be restricted, (given the scenario above). The ball can travel faster, so accurate passing & probably only to suarez at the end to finish (not to him & him do all the work to shackle the defender, twist, turn, twist & find opening for a shot. He'll be likely on target but conversion as a goal isnt as high. (as stats will probably show)

Added on October 24, 2011, 1:32 pmi dont want to sound like a broken record (by saying give KD time & the opportunity, we are on the way back to try to claim the CL spot). We all share the similar fustrations.

I know the fustrations of having to see the big spend on english players, yet seems so mediocre against opponents. I am too fustrated the fact we released meriles AND having not giving aqualani the Opportuntiy (but picked adam, henderson). even maxi & kuyt appears to play a subdued roles.

my take is KD wants more playing time for the english trio (in the hope of accelarating their lfc experience) & given the "CL spot target" (measely aspirations according to our rival fans) & work on the mid to long term survival of the club. (of which we were close to "hapus" towards the tail end of the texan cowboys reign)

i'm not sure if the english (trio) salaries are lower then the foriegn players even if the transfers are high in general.

there are weak spots in the team, we dont have a strong central duo, nor we have a clinical finisher. (or at least someone to assist suarez's load or play off him)

I liked benitez but I dont want it to be a burden of fans expectations on KD. rafa had his opportunity, maybe in time some where in the future, he could be back.

but now, KD needs the fans support & their understanding of whats path lies ahead. I'm sure he see some weakness & looking to adress them sooner then later. in terms of bridging the turmoil we had to endure & the little steps we take upwards, there is no one better then dalgish at the moment.

i liked it when we were not afraid of anyone even when we had the underdogs tag (under the ex gaffer whom manu fans hates the most)

anyone, anyteam we got to face them sooner of later. it will help us mature our game better.

good brace for suarez!

i think the atttendance average of the london clubs are lower then ours (if i'm not mistaken), yet yeild $$$$ more. *in gunners prior to the new stadium & london/city teams charging slightly higher $ seats.

AND the deficit of around *£56-57million A SEASON against Manu in matchday gate revenue ONLY. AND "it's not about money" its seems when shoving success is the ability TO purchase top key players when needed, not sell, then buy policy <

yeah, torres is class with us but he was too messed up kid towards the end of his lfc playing days. i suppose cant blame him too much as the two douch clowns kept treating lfc club like pariahs on show for the highest bidders & him (torres) being in a part of the world cup team 'spain' it must be painful not to be part of CL. (even a certain captain ferbegas forced a moved to barca)

suarez is a bountiful of enthusiasm, as he said 'like a kid who loves playing football'. it shows.

+1

see how much crap lucas took then & how some crap is on the detractors.

In KD we...ok

Ok, some could help on the naming of the players
row 1
top L to R
row 2
top L to R
row 3
top L to R etc

i wouldn't mind* as it was the intention of getting suarez in the first place when emo torres was still wearing the red shirt. but it aint gonna happen for we havent secured a CL spot. (that torres isn't as young & he knows his wish to play at the biggest stage for club football (CL) & it would be a tremendous bonus for himself if it was in a liver shirt)

Now even with a bit more money, we can't attract the bigger english talent, that is truth. why the hell do we need some English talent?? In reality, as i would be the same camp as how rafa believed, if we had some more spare money then, some luck (possibly favourable/kind refs who gives us penalties or favours in games) & some English rub to win the the premier league. (look at how possessed he (rafa) was in trying to secure barry (English talent) when all of us felt we probably had a better midfielder in alonso. Again if we did had the funds, & didn't adopt the policy "sell first before purchase" we'll probably have a proper squad even at the bench with either starting first barry or alonso OR both on starting line up. that's all academic now, read it as a jest for what i wrote about "English" talent.

why did KD fly back in effort to secure downing's signing, why did KD took pains to chauffeur adam into melwood, why did carrol companied KD to watch a concert together? call it 'man management' (for what was deem lacking by fans of the spainish gaffer), scouser's hospitality but as in any top level manager, KD wants to show they are welcomed. scenario of today's top level football, boy hood love for a club plays second to a club to pays better salary, first team football & opportunity to play in highest arena (opportunity having qualified in CL, +point), to win trophies; if it come in a club he loves; it's a big(ger) bonus.

That's the reality we have in liverpool fc, everyone in the club knows that, carra n gerrard have spoken the need to return to top 4, qualify for CL. able the build a new stadium or re-develope anfield; to sustain a growing club, long term, & in light of the $$ have been thrown about to secure top talents.

stay positive, lfc lads. Anything now is most definitely better then uncle roy. we are work-in-progress. To say sack KD now is maniacal. and please stop comparing with rafa managed lfc in regards to vis-a-vis' better or not against such teams.





*even as some of us wished, it would be most definately a miracle>wishful thinking.

We been critisized in the pass for rotating too much, now we are critisized for sticking to the same players too often .

no, we have seen successful teams with goalkeepers as captain.

we dont have someone who dictate & command the midfield. someone besides gerrard.

lucas is an option but too modest, does things but the book, nothing extraordinary to hold the midfield. adam, henderson ? no leadership qualities.

no one in the current lfc squad who could lift the team, who seems to have the something extra at times, who has the stroke of magic, that x-factor when situation arises.

nope. i dont see it in lfc squad now (besides the aging gerrard, whom seem to have & carried far-far too much for us & our total reliance/dependance on the few of him. in short we have too few carra, & gerrard, at times when torres was on fire)

we were a slightly above mediocre team made to performed top team challenging for the championship..
wait.. i sound i like echoning our ex gaffer.

but you guys know what i meant.

KD believes back then, thats how the great liverpool performed. a bunch of semi talented guys, nothing too overly special, maybe 2-3 but they had the heart to play magically for liverpool.

it probably the D word, evra is not pleased when its not from his own team mates

phew, you must've kept it too close to chest too long.

i threw everytime when trolls speak in the house. thank you for lifting the burden too of how i felt when drama such as this is being debated.

we seem a tad stronger with 'foreign' over 'english' lads overall but non the less, it was good johnson nick it late. baffled KD on why GJ did what he did, but he was bought for his attacking support from the back. (sure KD said it in a jest )

i think in a way it went according to plan, we play away. no often any team could sustain tempo 90 mins so its understandable chelsea came in strong in 2nd (but we could do away lapses). Chelsea is still a reckoned team despite how the critics feel. (partial transitional phase for then)

kudos to bellamy, maxi, adam & lucas.

next week it will be tough game, i hope win this will give something for MC (& mancini) to think about. we too have to be on guard on the silky silva. hope our tricky suarez, nippy bellamy/maxi will offer some headache to their defence (MC)

the momentum will be just about right to catch the pack. somehow i feel the trolls/phantom fans would much welcome our attempt on MC's march next week.
