Now the whole world knows what kind of Tycoon Bolehland can produce.   

QPR was okay actually... it's just that their previous manager a certain hughes signed too much high wages players...

Huh? You mean Blackburn?

Well at least Tony Fernandez behave with dignity and understands the game, VT seems to treat everyone beneath him which goes against the very nature of the game itself. Football is all about community and people the connected to the game - take away that and you take away the soul of the game which is exactly what VT is doing at Cardiff.

if you are talking about close control and first touch i would rate Coutinho as the best in the liverpool squad.

That's easy actually.

Suarez----Dannyboy----Sterling (all 3 inter-changeable)

----------Couts---Hendo----------(hendo, up and down)
-------------Lucas----------------

Nowadays, formation is just on paper. Look at Luis. He was Midfield, he was left wing, he was striker, he was all over the place.

Danny plays best when in position to pounce.

Sterling's pace will compliment them both.

You can imagine how much more freedom Luis will get with Defenders having to mark Danny as well.

Then you got Couts who can pick 3 pacy players upfront with his passes.

You forgot Dannyboy is speedy as well and quite good in finding Suarez as well as finishing from far. He brings with him almost 2 or 3 defenders, freeing up Couts in the middle and Suarez at the side.

When our captain comes back, I would love see him doing defensive cover in midfield together with Hendo and see how it turns out. Afterall, he came out as a Defensive Midfielder first before converting into attacking one.

With Steve, if perfectly fitting into defensive midfield, we have 3 pass master to play with 3 pacy finishers. That makes us absolutely delicious.

So who is the man of the match?

Watch the goal highlights, the first flick/cross from hendo is good, as for the back heel, its kinda normal. But the Sterling goal, it came from Hendo too, that kind of pass I can only always see from the like of Sneijder and Kaka, now that's impressive. Passing from the right side of the right leg, Sneijder always did that, and its exciting to watch. 

Suarez could just finish off the 2nd goal, but he passed it to Sterling instead...

I think we have a fighting chance against MCity. They're beasts and will likely tear us apart, even without Aguero they have Negredo and Dzeko. But one weakness which was highlighted today against Fulham was the RB spot. Without Zabaleta and with Clichy filling in...that may be our best chance with Sterling.

In our side, I think Skrtel is a potential problem. The way he was manhandling attackers all night, I'm worried he's gonna easily give away a penalty in this fixture

Skrtel was so lucky to stay on the pitch yesterday and not conceding any penalties or OGs. He was manhandling Caulker all night long and even tried to kiss him at one point. I find it shocking that the ref did not penalize him...we were very lucky i must admit. He might not be so lucky in the future..Its crucial that he tone down this aspect of his play in the next few games.

Injuries to Zaba and Kun will help us a bit. I can see us nicking a win in this game but its going to be tight.

Aggger, Sakho/Toure for City game. The way Skrtel played yesterday, we are gonna concede a penalty every 5 minutes.

The only thing that change here is I traded Lucas's slow pace to Agger's long legs and fast pace, to give more protection to the back and also to bring the ball forward for quick counter. For that to happen, Agger will need to do alot of quick running for us.

Or else, Toure, connecting between the back and the front by bringing the ball to the middle and making quick exchange of passes.

while we are atm top of the table, i wanna remind the fans here, to keep their emotions and expectations in check. 2 very tough away games against 2 teams who are very very beastly at home. mancity this season has been scoring goals for fun, esp at home while jose has nt yet lost at home at the bridge. for me. i will b happy with 2 draws. why if u ask me, i think the 5-0 at spurs was more of a tactical battle where avb's persistence on a defensive high line brought way too many problems esp against players like hendo n suarez n sterling who likes to run behind defenders. the scoreline was way too flattering. i dont see mancity and chelsea doing such blunders esp with defenders who are slower in pace (demichelis,terry).

i wanna say, our defense hasnt look good all season apart from the first few games. cardiff caused us all sorts of problems with direct balls into the box n as mentioned, skrtel was lucky nt to gv away penalties which on another day, would hv been given.

while we always talk about the likes of the "big 4" with ars chels manc manu, dont forget everton who are unbeatan in 10 and newcastle who is on the up. never count out manu n spurs might just turn their season around with today's win against soton.

so, if things dont go our way in the next 2 fixtures, we can easily drop to 5th-7th depending on goal difference and hence i hope everyone to keep their head IF we lose.

also. dont be overly happy thinking suarez will still be with us next season after signing an extension to his contract, if he continues to perform like this till the end of the season and do decently in the WC, i see RM, PSG, and Juve, maybe even ars and chel come knocking for his signature. and if RM fail to win any trophies, the pressure will be on perez to splash again and i dont see luis turning RM down. if we are in top4, n RM comes calling, i'll say its only a 20% chance hes staying.

then again, for now, lets all enjoy the show he and the team put on for us. it has been brilliant. come to think of it, imagine if we did actually turn up against hull and won there. we would definitely be top for xmas.

merry xmas in advanced everyone. cant wait for ars chels tmr and boxing day!

anyone remember when was the last time liverpool sitting top of the table after ?

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says he is down to 17 fit players as Jon Flanagan battles a hamstring problem ahead of the Boxing Day trip to Manchester City.

Flanagan, normally a right-back, has started the last six games at left-back as Jose Enrique recovers from knee surgery. But the 20-year-old hobbled off during Saturday’s 3-1 win over Cardiff, and will be assessed ahead of Thursday’s match at the Etihad Stadium. Rodgers said: “Our squad is very thin at the moment. We’ve got 17 players, which is unfortunate for us, going into a busy period. We just have to assess young Jon Flanagan. Leading into the game against Cardiff, he had a tight hamstring for a few days.

“He was fit enough to start play, but he felt it a little bit during the game, so we had to take him off. We need to assess that over the next 24 hours. None of the guys who have been out have returned, so we’re quite thin on the ground.”

Dont deserve to lose. Should have been 2-2. Linesman error

Is there a thing call worst victory?

Again, dont let the few errors cloud your judgement. I am not being positive crazy here.

Look at the whole game again. Sakho started many movements from the back successfully.

80:20 I would say. 20 was at the end when his sloppiness almost cost us. But judge him on the whole match. He's a rock.
