I knew this would happen from the beginning.Hope milan fail to win the league

i think this can only be good for liverpool. from what i've seen, aquilani's are one creative midfielder and his shooting are accurate... in short better than what liverpool have now

Do you guys know who is the guy sitting beside Bjørn Tore Kvarme?

the botak one? one of LFC's best LB - rob jones.

Thanks

Will do. Probably by this weekend given the workload i have.

His best position is always right back. He was shifted to left back with the impending arrival of McAteer. One of the best full backs we had, too bad he couldn't fulfill his true potential for club & country due to numerous injuries that plagued him throughout his career. Reminds me of Jamie Redknapp. Had he remained healthy, I doubt Gary Neville would own the right back spot for national team as Rob Jones was the first choice before Terry Venables threw Neville into the Euro96 limelight as RJ had to withdraw due to injury.

Fernando Torres's Goal just now have repaid Roman's 50Mil spending

wat a classic Torres Goal

I understand that but as I've said I will be very much more worried if we're not creating chances are have been constantly battered in all areas of the pitch.

Kenny showed last season that we can win games and score goals (5-0 vs Brum, 5-2 vs Fulham, 3-1 vs United, 3-0 vs Wolves and Newcastles) but just like him, I'm also puzzled to why we can't score goals this season.

now i'm starting to doubt the chance of winning the fa... chelsea is just a renaissance under matteo..

I never believed it when they said Torres was past it.

This is how it's done. His composure in front of goal is something we have sorely lacked this season.

a) Poor finishing.
b) Voodoo spell cast by David Moyes.

Too early to say that.
Remember how well they played under Ancelotti when he first became manager?
Remember how well WE played under KK end of last season?

Here we go again .. how many times have we heard "Torres is back!!" after he scores one goal, only for him to go the next 10 games without a goal. Not saying it will happen again but it's just a goal.

It's definitely poor finishing but what the players are "kinda" doing it right is they are certainly aiming for heigh or corners only for to rebound off the woodwork. If only ... the goal was 2 inches taller.

Jordan Henderson's shot which came off the bar on the weekend, actually came off Foster after that but in most cases, the ball ends up at the back of the net and not roll sideways away from goal!!

I have to admit though, Chelsea do look a different team under Di Matteo but the only thing I can see, he's been in charge in games where the opponents are let's say ... just beatable for their standards, aside Man City (they lost 2-1) and Barcelona. I mean they came out the better side against Barcelona but they practically had 3 shots on target in 180 minutes and they scored 3 goals. After last nightm Barcelona probably know how we feel after 90% of our games!

Aye

Barca's play reminded me of Liverpool...lotsa posession and pressin, but goals hard to come by.

IMO that Barca's play has been found out.....

a) barca's strength is posession and pressing
b) Barca's weakness is their defence AND inability to change their play mid game. They
dont have a Big No.9. They tried to suss this out by having Ibrahimovic but he doesnt like the bench!
They are also missin the predator like us in Villa/Etoo missing
c) Therefore crowd the box defensively and hope. Rafa used this aginst them before and it worked as well.
d) Then play a strong ONe man striker and hope for the breaks
e) Otherwsie its penalties which is a roulette

Chelsea? The players are super good. The only thing is they are selective about their gaffer. Di Matteo knows how to rub their egos and make them happy and hence, the willingness to go all out for him on the pitch. Scolari and AVB are good coaches and tacticians but they lost half the battle when their troops goes into the pitch half hearted...

How many times did Suarez fail to score from one-on-ones this season?

"Doing it right" is putting the ball in the back of the net. Just tap it in or place the shot. Not aiming for hollywood shots which risk being ricocheted off the crossbar.

Looking at the 29 times vid someone posted (was it you?), many of the shots were either half chances or shots from acute angles. Ergo we were never gonna score from those shots.

What I don't understand is how keepers always manage to give in amazing performances at Anfield.

Dont know But how many times Luis is One on one with the defenders about 20 yds away?

i know. Its mindboggling we manage to hit the post all season yet me mange 40 goals in 34 matches in the league. in cup competition we fair much better. its not sumthing that happen since Aug 2011 but with the extended slump, thing got from bad to worst. Frustration sets in.

I dun blame the player for lack urgency. we manage to create chances, we dominate the entire game but we cannot slot the ball into the net. what happen during the 2nd half last season, i call it euphoria. a legend step in after a bad start and morale and spirit is high. its the same for Chelsea now. Di Matteo step in after AVB fails and every1 is eager to change. The real Di Matteo work is next season (if he gets the job).

at the end of day, reality is no win no points. no amount of chances or hitting the post will gv us money or send us to CL.

The lack of No.9 is correct, however they suffered a blow when David Villa suffered a long term injury. They are playing Messi as a makeshift striker and while he may be scoring goals for fun in other matches, an out-and-out striker makes a difference in tight matches such as these.

It seems that they will end this season trophyless but they are still a very good team. I hope Guardiola would stay because it'll be a pity to see the Barca's current golden era come to a halt prematurely. People may talk about their play-acting and all but when on form, they have served up some of the best football you'll ever see.

As for Chelsea, congratulations to them but I hope they lose both finals.
