Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina has admitted the Anfield outfit 'can't compete' in the Premier League title race.

Great performance from LFC today. Deserved more.

I think he should shut his mouth after yesterday howler....
Blood still boiling

hmmm

Premier League too? Oh please raid some It's gonna be so much fun....End up we kena raid

match fixing?? old story laaa

well reina is telling the sad truth...

and
what is interests me is...

"This has been the most unsettled season, both personally and as a team, since I joined the club."

what is he thinking though.....

obviously looking for excuses so he can leave.

same perangai wif Torres

Reina, he's like gettting worse game by game. Don't know whether his mind is still at Liverpool anymore or he is really dreaming of going back to Barca.

maybe rafa will pay us 50m for reina

try to go back to hometown by playing the same attitude with torres and bolatelli

"Wainwright would not reveal the identity of the Champions League match staged in the UK under suspicion due to "ongoing judicial proceedings" - he did confirm it had taken place in the last three to four years"

Phew... we are out of Champions League for so long, we are safe.

Now who's the culprit? MU, MC, Arses or Chelsea?

Calciopoli relegated Old Lady to Serie B and other teams minus points. If it's the Arses, then we got a chance to go top 4. HAHA

wenger is too good to matchfix...
i place bets on redknapp

barca against chelsea. anyone?

Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet has claimed the Champions League game in England allegedly involving match-fixing was Liverpool against Debrecen in 2009.

Their report places no suspicion on Liverpool whatsoever and instead claims Debrecen's Montenegrin goalkeeper Vukasin Poleksic was ‘bribed to ensure the match ended with at least three goals’.

KENA!

damn! he owes us 2 goals haha


btw, is sturridge the first liverpool player to get booked for diving this season? or did suarez beat him to it?

http://www.thisisanfield.com/2013/02/how-b...tez-at-anfield/

I believe we're in good hands.

Football purists like me may not like to hear it but match fixing is very real, especially in the bigger leagues. It's why my mates bet only on smaller ones like the Danish or Swedish leagues. Why do you reckon they allow bets up to the 85th minute? All those last minute equalisers in stoppage time aren't always the stuff of legends. Every other sport has been corrupted so why not the most watched sport in the world? Why haven't FIFA implemented goal line technology or video replays after all these years when sports like rugby and tennis have?

Football today is a lucrative business and that's exactly why the syndicates have come sniffing.

Likewise. The boss has my full backing and support. I had my apprehensions initially but after listening to the man speak, I find him to be a very intelligent manager with a strong belief in his football philosophies. Let's give Brendan his full 3-year term I say.

nice read there.
didnt know he bring 180 page of manifesto to the owner..

Sturridge's first time touch is very good....and he would have got the penalty IF he was not so theatrical about it.
Lescot came acroos his legs......

WHy Always Us?

eh, why we on match-fixing news? arghhh...!!! dont lose Integrity man...

No reports of any wrongdoing by the club thus far. So, don't worry until there's something to be worried about.

sigh...who else can they pick on? MU?

We are not fixing. We are being fixed! So this is the difference.

Fixing = points deduction, relegation.

Being fixed (Victim) = add bonus points in EPL plus monetary compensation

Top 4! HAHA

LOL keep dreaming dillon, keep dreaming. But yeah, we are not the ones fixing so it should be ok. That Debrecen GK must be in deep shit now. Already banned 2 years by UEFA once before, according to the reports anyway.

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/...igation?cc=4716

Are we really that bad that even when someone bribed the opposition goalie to let in 3 goals and we only manage to score 1.

That was what i was thinking as well. It makes us look like crap! HAHA.
Debrecen must pay us compensation for at least half a century of reputation damage with $1million for each accounting year. That means $50mil.

PLUS, we must smack the players for being so crappy in 2009.

Any news on our #9 returning this summer?

Yup. Word has it around the Merseyside that he's coming back one of the days.


To have lunch with Gerrard.

no la, he'll be having tea with reina in some posh london cafe...

wif Rafa

btw the person reina suppose to replace just broke his finger...

torres coming back is a disaster

Kesian, pepe kena bashed kaw kaw online

Imba Leftback... Good with setpiece, good with passing, good with crossing... and he IS ENGLISH. Why didnt we get him last time before our neighbour snatched him.


Attached thumbnail(s)

Deservingly as well. It was not just a mistake. It was pure stupidity. Schoolboy, wait, Kindergarten error. Even my classmate dont do that for the blue team when he was playing as goalkeeper.

The price he pays now is bigger than he can imagine. It's not just the 2 points. He has lost the trust of everyone.

By the way, I kinda like the QPR keeper. Cesar is it? Whatever his name is, he's like a spiderman. Made so many impossible / dramatic instinctive saves. Without him, QPR is long gone. Hmm....who can we give to Uncle Harry. Reina wont go there. Gulasci plus Jay Spearing.

The signing of Julio Cesar from Inter was a major coup in my books. He has bags of experience at international and club level. It is akin to the time Fulham signed Van Der Sar. Having said that Cesar wouldn't be my first choice. He's got good reflexes but I'm not convinced he commands his box well and can deal with crosses. Heck, maybe I've just got something against Brazilian keepers in general. Not since Taffarel have Brazil had a consistent goalkeeper. Dida was supposed to be the answer but his sudden loss of form remains a mystery. Maybe losing to us in Istanbul was too much for him to take Based on current form, I'd say Begovic is a better bet. He's worked hard to displace Sorensen and with Butland having signed, Stoke could cash in on him especially since they have both Sorensen and Carlo Nash as backups.

I feel sad for Pepe. He was just coming into a bit of form before this calamatous error. Having said that it isn't the first time Pepe has been caught in no man's land. Unlike in previous instances where he's successfully managed to close the angle down, sheparding the opposing forward wide of goal, Sergio Aguero managed to slot it in from a very acute angle. That's Pepe though. Some say he invented the term sweeper-keeper and we shouldn't let one error erase from memory the times he's come off his line and got to the ball first either with his feet or head. He isn't having the best of seasons but he's given years of tremendous service to the club. He's already receiving a lot of flak so let us not let him walk alone eh?

No thanks? Julio Cesar is brazilian and we didnt have much luck with Brazilian when it comes to GK.... Diego, Doni all failed and left.

Other players like Fabio Aurelio, Lucas still okay...

Anyway, even I cant deny Cesar is good

I hate to say this but his time is done, Duke. Look at the way he communicate with his defenders. It's no longer there. I cant see the old Reina shouting and barking instructions, punching his fist in the air if someone is not listening carefully and almost let opponent score. I have not seen that for quite some time in fact. That burning enthusiasm and fiery desire to do well.

As much as I miss that Reina that ran 80 meters to hug David Ngog for scoring a brilliant goal against MU in the dying minutes when we won 2-0, which was quite some time ago, i am afraid that Reina is gone.

Now what's left is a person by the name of Jose Manuel Reina trying to abide his contract and pray for time to fly by.

Argh, still remember his early words of this...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/...can-owners.html


So far, not bad lar. Got progression A BIT..

Those things you've mentioned, haven't seen that in like 1 and a half years. His heart is just not 100% with Liverpool anymore. Let's just see how he performs in the next few games. Hopefully BR says a quiet word or two to him to turn his form around again. At least give his all until the end of the season and if he does decide to go, then let him go. No point keeping a GK who doesn't want to be there anymore.

Yes. He's already showing the Spanish signal like Torres once did. Let's just focus on moving on. Let him go to his Barcelona team if they wants him.

If he wants to go then be it.... He is still our savior for many many match.... But I think it's a norm... Ppl will only see the mistakes and never the good deed... Happens in football and happens in life....

Nope. I am not looking at his mistakes only. I have been studying his attitude for a while now. In fact, to be really sure, I watch MIO stadium video replay a few times which means I watched our matches 2 to 3 times for each game. I know I am football crazy. I love to study players and tactic for fun.

His attitude is different from the past. Whether that has any impact directly on his performance, I do not know. I hope it is just a mood swing. But if it is a mood swing, it's been too long.

His attitude and desire for winning is no longer there. Watch the replay again, you will know. He is still class at times with superb saves but his desire is slowly waning.

Wut do we do now? wif someone dat doing the Torres?

wrong attitude exit door. SAF would have been booted out long ago (remember beckham boot kena mata incident etc). manu dressing room is more like don agree w da boss, exit door, no matter who you are

lol, im reading dillonyong blog..and read about he getting sack and Yen!..I think Yen should know the truth...LOL

Is just speculation... We should give the benefit of a doubt... I've learn my lesson when I heavily criticized Lucas few years back... Glad to be proven wrong though... Form is temporary, class is permanent....

A good player can single handedly win you a few games perhaps but not a trophy.
A good manager can build a team of good players that win you trophies. SAF was undoubtedly a good manager.

MU did the right thing way back then.

And we did the wrong thing in not pleading, begging, down on our knees to ask King Kenny not to go in 1990. But in the case of Steven Gerrard 2005 U-turn, we did. Moores personally persuaded him to stay.

We have let our stupidity carry on for far too long that it became part of our not so illustrious history now.

And now we have got a good manager with great potential. We must hang on to him. And just in case if his name skips our mind abit, his name is Brendan Rodgers. Hehe

nice to see a change of attitude towards BR..still remember in early season many wants him to be booted out after our lost and replace with big name manager..glad that didnt happen

@normeck stalking me? LOL. Kidding. She knows the truth i guess. But it doesnt matter.

http://depositfiles.com/files/wmsifo8qm

Pete, what are you doing la? Put the url and no description. Later if it is a pornpicture, my boss will kill me. heheheh

Against Debrecen? That is match CL Qualifying Stage isnt it? The season when we finished the league at second place?

I always kena stare when they see solstice avatar

suddenly we're in heat of match fixing allegations

then you can start writing about your "ex-company"

Reina has a bad attitude now, I agree. But I look to the first save he made vs David Silva to remind me he still has relevance in our team for now.

Eh? Bearbear is supposed to be cute. Why suggest such an evil fate upon me? hehe

We have no choice anyway. We gotta stick with him till end of the season. I still harbor the faint hope of him changing his attitude and make a U-turn and bring back the once most respected Pepe Reina to us instead of the plain normal Jose Manuel Reina.

Why my fault?

We spoke some time back about Reina and I pointed out how it was likely he'd leave based on the things he's said in is interviews. I can't say I blame him if he wants to go to Barca, his boyhood club or anywhere else to win medals. He's given us years of dedicated service but we aren't any closer to winning the elusive Premier League title, nor are we competing in the Champions League. I reckon a change of scenery will do him good. I for one am grateful for his contributions to the club and if he wants to leave, I say we applaud him on his way out. No ill feelings.

if pepe goes back to barca, he'll just be the no.2.
better abramovich pays us 50m for pepe...then we buy joe hart for 20m

Yeah, of course. He has done so much for us already. He got us the FA Cup and with his perfect distribution we knocked MU 1-4 in OT and almost catching them in the process in that very season. And his steady contributions continue to the period when we are so off form. I have nothing but respect for him. If he feels he need a new challenge elsewhere, I am sure most fans will give him the blessing. ANd he will never walk alone. Always will be in our memory.

The more pressing issue is who should replace him. Going by our policy, I am sure we are gonna hunt for a young and outstanding keeper. Hopefully they will bring in someone who has leadership quality as well.

Watching the match fixing report on Fox now. Bloke named Wilson Raj spilled the beans after allegedly being betrayed by another bloke named Dan Tan. Wilson Raj is now under house arrest in Hungary and is a convicted match fixer. Now I've met bookies, and I've heard the results of matches being predicted before the game. Usually I stay away from this because I don't want to know what the score will be.

In an inquiry that began 18 months ago has found that an estimated 640 games are dubious. Corruption and match fixing aren't new to the game but this report may just blow it wide open. It's the first time I can remember an inquiry being made into a global syndicate, affecting games all around the world. Big news indeed.

among the PL keepers...joe hart
26 this yr, and was somewhat in contention for the england captaincy...

another one of cos is tim krul...or we can steal begovic...

Let's just say Joe is available. Is he really a leader? We are lacking a leader at the back without Carra. I dont see that in him. Van der sar, Kahn, Lehmann, Grobelaar, Schmeichel all have big presence. Not sure about Krul and Begovic in terms of leadership but they are very good as well.

I think Cesar will be good if he's available but that will only happen at the expense of QPR dropping down.

of cos he is.
and the joe hart debate has been going on within LFC fans for a couple yrs now...and its almost always split down the middle...tho steve clarke while at LFC has said that hart is the best keeper in england.
plus this season, hart looks set on equalling reina's record of 3 golden gloves award, and which reina last won in 2008...that pretty much says it all.

oh ya, cesar is 34 this yr...
if we're going for younger keepers with PL experience...i cant see anyone else except hart / krul / begovic...26 / 25 / 26 yrs old respectively this yr.

He is undoubtedly good, infact brilliant at times just like how he save the shot from Sturridge in the dying minutes but Kompany is the leader at the back.
We need someone who can organise the defense because our defending of set piece has been really really poor.

No kidding man. I watched the replay, I saw so many times Man City players winning the header but the ball fly out. Had they been more clinical we would have been punished. It is quite disturbing.

usually its the keeper's job to arrange the defence...tho usually there isnt much to be arranged except for the wall.
when defending set pieces, usually that has all been done in training already, and it should be understood by the players who should go where for zonal / man marking.
i think what it comes down to is that our defence is not aggressive enough...even nowadays skrtel gets pushed around in the box...

What about the Mexican keeper Ochoa? 27 years old. Read that Rogers is interested in him. Never seen him play though. Any good? 50 caps for Mexico with 20 clean sheets.

oh how cute

Slowpoke but i didn't know Skrtel, Agger and Allen also won.

Well I'd be happy if Liverpool can bring in Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.

He first caught my attention some 3-4 years ago but we had Pepe who was in top form at the time. Ochoa is agile and has lighting reflexes from what I can tell. To be honest I'm surprised none of the top clubs in the world have expressed any interest in him. Been saying for some time now that someone should have a look at him.
