Billy Beane rant before the game vs Blackburn start.

We had Billy Beane too at Liverpool, Rafa Benitez.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/...-Liverpool.html
The moment he left, he had net spend of 78.34 millions.

We sold few players in the following season.
Cavalieri (1m), Torres (50m), Riera (4m), Benayoun (5.5m), Mascherano (17.25m), Babel (5.8m).
Total player sold, 83.55m.

P/S
Few players signed by Rafa sold in season 2010/11.
Kyrgiakos, Ngog, Insua, Jovanovic (transfer fee undisclosed. 5-10 millions in total, perhaps)

P/S
There are few players signed by Rafa in our current squad.
How much we can fund from the sales of these players?
Reina, Agger, Skrtel, G.Johnson, Maxi, Kuyt and Aquilani.
I just picked the number from below link, perhaps another 50-60 millions (guesstimate).

I think his assistant, Peter Brand is the one who introduce it to Billy Beane.

So now people are calling Moyes the moneyball manager and conveniently forget our very own Rafa Benitez. People have such selected and short memories. Sometimes, i feel we deserve everything that has and is coming our way.

I think the reason is Rafa is history and David Moyes is still the active "Billy Beane".

it's 3am ! Catch the match tonight and slp late as tmrw are public holiday !!

I have to work tmrw. Damn! I will be awake to watch the match at 3 later.
Night peeps! See you guys later.

Argh same here =/ Sounds like not really a public holiday as many still hv 2 attend work tmrw...

KK hv already got rid of most of Hodgson deadwood. Joe Cole, Konchesky & Poulsen are all gone.

I jusr read that Norwich target to finish the season above us. I dun expect 4 or 5 new players to win us title so soon. I oso dun xpect 4 or 5 new player to make us a promoted club target. esp when we spend over 70mil in transfer.

LFC confirmed team: Doni, Flanagan, Coates, Skrtel, Johnson, Shelvey, Henderson, Spearing, Maxi, Bellamy, Carroll.
Subs: Jones, Enrique, Agger, Aurelio, Suarez, Kuyt, Carragher.

Gerrard injured again??
Four defenders on the bench and no midfielders at all. We are looking silly again dispatching Meireles and Aquilani away..

suarez sub,,carrol 1st?omai

Kuda main...... 4-3-3?


Great troll by Kenny

Its the right choice.
Rotation is necessary since most of the team just played on Saturday.
And we have a semi final this weekend.

KD is resting Gerrard.

Whatever happened to kenny's ''the next game is the most important game'' mantra

http://www.firstrowsports.eu/watch/118193/...verpool-fc.html

Let's see how this game goes lol. Looking forward to see how the team create chances without Suarez. Let's hope for the best shall we.

KD is rotating his team for the cup this weekend.

Skrtel is the captain.

lets hang over..!!

We need the team to be fit naturally. Dat motto is not applicable in this case coz we need that FA Cup.
