Good catch. The momentum just went down the drain after we conceded. Mentally weak n lack character.

Suarez at times seems like carrying the whole team.

Spearing n henderson . Average performance. No comments

and that is the main reason why we got steve clarke in, to use his experience when he won those titles under jose.

yea, i know there have been tweaks in tactics.
the question is whether its kenny doing it or clarke, cos i dont recall ever seeing kenny in discussion.

LOL.
yea, ppl before complain Rafa always substituted late around the 65th min.
then when KD first started he was doing it mostly around the 75th min 
at least hes slowly changing...

the problem with KD is that he is afraid to use sub because he is waiting for miracle to happen, when it doesnt then only he will use the sub, but everytime he subs in quite late in game where player cant even have time to make an impact

Well Mourinho has the luxury of expensive bench at every clubs he has managed. So he can afford to have a plan B. Some teams do not have that kind luxury and bank everything on Plan A. I.e. We lack goal scoring strikers, so if he starts Carroll, he has no other options but to persists with him.

and those 2 have prove countless of times can score goals...and not to forget kuyt as well

but i think he certainly need to praise Maxi once awhile so that Maxi would feel that he still have a place in the club. but KD did not praise Maxi at all and for Maxi he would certainly feels dissapointed because he never stop giving up fighting for the 1st eleven and when he got the chances he prove his value to the club but no one seems to appreciate him..

im sure if you were Maxi u would feel the same right?

You make good points sols but currently we are in the danger of finishing the season at 13th place. 13th! It's not the most ideal time to bed youngsters and you don't want the youngsters to shoulder the blame if we do end finishing at 13th.

of cos johnson was to blame mainly...but still...near post...
now where is martin kelly...

Added on April 23, 2012, 6:14 pmbtw unless LFC miraculously scores 3 more goals in the next 4 games...this will officially be the 2nd lowest ever scoring team in the history of LFC.

actually kelly has been on the bench for awhile...

Added on April 23, 2012, 6:20 pmseems to me KD is playing the team he is now to make stuart pearce's job easier when it comes to Team GB for the olympics...so that stuart will be appalled at the performance of his GB players that he wont select them

the problem with our defence is Carra as hes getting old.
Agger - Skrtel is the ultimate, but when Agger gets injured, it forces Skrtel to play as the Left CB to accomodate Carra.
so we need to bring another left sided CB...

Added on April 23, 2012, 6:49 pmLB - Enrique - best LB in premier league , Robinson (still not fully groomed at 17yrs old).
LCB - Agger, Widsom (another young 17yr old that needs more grooming).
RCB - Skrtel, Carra, Coates
RB - Johnson, Kelly, Flanagan

so yea...

Well, the league is a disaster but at this stage last season, we didn't have a cup in the cabinet, didn't have a final to look forward to and hadn't qualify for Europe.

Definitely progress albeit slowly and a little bit.
Or we can just play Coates ^^ and if he is unavailble play Wisdom!! LOL

remember this Carra quote?
"Sir Alex Ferguson didn’t knock us off our perch... Graeme Souness did."

wonder if Carra will come up with another quote for KD

The point i was making is that Newcastle took our money, spent less to rebuild and are now in pole position to finish 4th. Yes they are more clinical but the problem isnt just Newcastle are scoring more than us. Pretty much all the clubs sitting above us, including Everton, have scored more goals than us. Yeah luck has something to do with it but when its stretches all season long, then it's no longer have to do with luck. It becomes a problem. A problem we ourselves engineered and no one else.

That was a good article by Tomkins. He seems just as puzzled as me as to what went wrong this season.

Alberto Aquilani is reportedly set to return to Liverpool after AC Milan have gone cold on plans to sign him on a permanent deal.

The 27-year-old midfielder has been on loan with the reigning Serie A champions this season but reports in Italy today indicate that the Rossoneri are reluctant to press ahead with the deal.

Aquilani, who spent last season on loan at Juventus, has made 21 domestic appearances for Milan and would trigger a mandatory £5million buyout clause should he make a further four outings before the end of the current campaign.

But the Italian giants are putting the former Roma playmaker in the wilderness rather than allow that to happen – which would make a return to Anfield his next move.

solstice can u update the result on the tag please?

Untrustworthy! Former Liverpool owners Hicks and Gillett blasted by judge

Former Liverpool owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett have been criticised by a judge in the High Court who said he does not trust them.

Mr Justice Peter Smith said the pair had shown they would ‘abuse’ the court process if it suited them.

They lost their ownership of the Merseyside club when it was sold to New England Sports Ventures.

A £300million deal in October 2010 saw another American businessman, John W Henry, take control of the side.


The judge criticised the previous owners when hearing evidence during the latest phase of litigation which began after the sale.

He refused to allow the pair ‘full and unrestricted’ access to private documentation used in the litigation because of his fears about their ‘potential misconduct’.

‘I do not trust your clients,” the judge today told British lawyers representing Mr Hicks and Mr Gillett in the current High Court litigation.

‘(They) have demonstrated... that if it suits them they will abuse the process.’

Hicks and Gillett tried but failed to block the Liverpool’s sale, before launching damages claims in which they alleged the club was sold at a ‘substantial undervalue’.

and said the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and then Liverpool directors had ‘deliberately’ blocked their attempts to ‘refinance’.

RBS bosses and directors dispute these allegations and asked the judge in March to declare them not guilty of ‘any dishonesty and corruption’.

Mr Justice Peter Smith explained an American lawyer representing the duo had twice misled an American court in 2010 after the sale.

He said they had provided ‘no credible explanation’ for the lawyer’s actions and said they had taken a ‘Manuelesque - “I know nothing”’ stance.

Hicks and Gillett asked for RBS documents to aid their case but the bank did not want to give the pair the information.

The judge said: ‘In my view that was and remains a legitimate concern,’ he said. ‘They are entitled to be fearful about potential misconduct.’

He said they could not have ‘unrestricted access’, but their British lawyers could study the documents.
