Finnan gone to enspanyol----what the hell is that­ about??
At least he didnt sell Alonso(yet)

reina
Carragher - Syrtel - Agger - aurelio
­ masherano
kuyt
­ riera
gerard(best mid in the­ world)

keane
torres(best­ striker in the world)

and u have babel use him rafa

Prediction. Liverpool will not finish in the top four­ and will not win any trophies this season. It's­ obvious that Benitez has not bought well in the­ transfer market. Of his best players he already had­ gerrard and Carragher. He didn't have to buy­ Macherano until he had actually seen him play for a­ season. his only good buy so far is Torres but we have­ to see how he gets on in future with his mix and match­ team mates. I believe Benitez will be gone at the end­ of this season and the americans will sell as they have­ no Champions League cash next season.
P.S. there is a­ lot of talk about the top four. But if our teams have a­ bad run it may be we are reduced to only three entrants­ for the next Champions League. even more pressue then­ on the top clubs.

pennant should have went, he a gob @#$% who needs a­ bang on the head should have sold him to sunderland,­ him and cisse load of @#$%. rafa wake up mate with your­ tactics. dossena should be winger he awful at the back­ he'l cost us a few goals carragher was like a right­ back coverin him

Oh RAFA, A good coach but I'm beginning to get­ dissapointed with his tactics. You cannot afford to­ WASTE good players like this!!! KEANE aint a winger,­ but should be upfront in his spot. And the dribbling­ skills of BABEL should be utilised to the max. Give­ PLESSIS some playing time. If RAFA dont change things,­ I doubt they'll even make top 5 this season. I say­ BABEL and KEANE lead the attack for now.

i cant believe we didnt buy SWP from Chelsea he a right­ wing,can beat a defenders,good skills,can score a­ fantastics goals. If we got Riera and SWP on the wing­ we will be untouchables. Cross coming from left and­ right.

pqkc...........u avin a laugh..............LFC sqad­ looking good...............heehehe

Thi is the worsed­ I'v ever een LFC play...........an I'm not­ alone in this view!!

RAFA needs ta WAKE up an sort­ things out an fast we have no decent LEFT or RIGHT­ BACK, PLAYERS STRIKERS on the WING when we have WINGERS­ who come with BIG expections but ffailed to­ deliver!!

Same old story with LFC buy loads of players­ an 1 in 5 is a good buy...............RAFA do you­ honestly think the YANKS are going togive you more 33­ to waste.........coz that's what you have been­ doing with most of the £££ they have given you!!

Won­ the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE in your first season (mind you we­ got LUCKY)after that it's been DOWNHILL all the­ way!!

Future is what we Liverpool fan wanted, the past is­ over. With current squad, we really have a good chance­ of achieving the 18 years lost (EPL title). Have faith­ Kop! Rafa is a right choice, at least we have­ additional FA Cup and the most of all, the Chiampion L­ Tropy (5 times) to show. No other team in England has­ surpassed us yet. Tske pride and keep up the support.

Gareth who, pqkc? Would that be a freudian slip or has­ Barry signed for the fools afterall? lol
Apart from­ that, you have to say that midfield looks terrible and­ have no chance of containing any of the other top 3­ midfields.

With Torres and Gareth injured, it is only time for a­ reformation. I would say
midfield - Dossena, Alonso,­ Mascherano, Riera
Forwards - Keane behind Babel­ upfront.4-4-1-1
Aganist Man U, it is not safe to be too­ open. Control and break them at the midfield is­ essential to contain them.
Babel can create havoc with­ his dribbling and Keane with his experience could even­ defend in the front and crete trouble for them.

To Luxy. Are all Gunners fans as ignorant as you are?­ I'm a Liverpool fan, but I'm not an idiot. I­ know Arsenal is a great club with some superb players.­ I also know Liverpool is a great club with some superb­ players. I also think both the Reds and Gunners­ don't quite have enough to battle Chelsea and­ United for top spot in the EPL. The Gunners have a­ better team approach and could make a run, while­ Liverpool has some great players who are used poorly by­ a very mediocre manager. I think Wenger is vastly­ superiour to Benitez. I think Man City, Tottenham and­ Villa will push Liverpool and Arsenal for third and­ fourth. I hope Benitez wakes up and starts playing a­ consistent lineup, but I'm not holding my breath.

looking at the squad, I believe riera is going to be a­ good addition. Finally I see options. I personally­ belive that the first team should look like­ this
Reina
Carragher - Syrtel - Agger - Dossena
Babel -­ Masherano - Riera
Gerrard - Keane
Torres
This gives us­ the ability to play 4-3-2-1 or 4-3-3 or 4-4-1-1 or­ 4-4-2
with this adaptability other teams will be kept­ guessing.
However Rafa is more likely to keep Kuyt in­ insead of Babel.
We also have good options for­ replacements
Cavalieri can replace Reina if­ nessacary
Aurelio, Degan, Hyypia and Arbeloa can fall­ in at the back
Kuyt, Plessis, Alonso, Leiva and El Zhar­ are good replacements in midfield
with N Gog up­ front
So far this season I dont think we have played­ well but if we start to gel I believe we can at least­ be up there challenging. However with the team we have­ got if Rafa does not produce this season then I can see­ a new manager coming in before the next.
Hears hoping­ for a top two finish at least this year.

Riera was useless at City....WTF are L'pool­ doing???? Looks like they're on their way out of­ the coveted top 4 spot, if not this year then next if­ signings like this are anything to go by?

City Till I­ Die

We have spent a lot of money over the years on­ players.. some good some not and you all can dispute­ which is which but it is not really fair comparing our­ Yankee owners investment to the Dubai groups first­ purchase... See how much money the put in over the­ years... We have spent some dosh don't forget...­

I like the fact we got a naturally wide left sided­ player but it would have been nice if it was a Spanish­ 1st team player... this guy doesn't even start for­ his country but I guess he might fit into our squad...­ Here is hoping and lets try backing our Team better on­ here... We sound like TOFFEE fans on here crying about­ our gaffa and team.. Come on You Reds!!! Show us your­ pride!

I AM LIVERPOOL CRAZY BUT I THINK RAFA'S TACTICS ARE­ NOT REALY GOOD,DIRK KUYT IS NOT A
WINGER PENNANT AND­ BENAYOUN ARE AND KEANE IS A CENTFOWARD NOT A LEFT­ WINGER,WE WILL DO WELL IN THE LEAGUE IF RAFA PLAYS THEM­ AT THIER RIGHT POSITIONS,BABEL TO ALWAYS COME ON IN THE­ SECOND HALF FOR RIERA,VORONIN GONE GOOD NOW WE NEED TO­ SETTLE WITH 4 STRIKERS TORRES,KEANE,KUYT,NGOG COME ON­ RAFA
DAVE LIVERPOOLS BEST FAN

Whats the point of having a youth academy to invest in­ nurtured talents? I really dont think Benitez is doing­ anything different to Houllier, but at least Houllier­ wasn't spending as much money. So are these­ managers really trying to say players of the calibre of­ Matteo, Thompson, Murphy and all these guys were never­ good enough to play for Liverpool? I'm sorry but of­ the numerous Benitez signings very few of them are­ really better than what L'pool's academy is­ capable of producing. Of the Spanish players I'll­ only name Alonso and Torres (I exclude Reina bcos­ he's average, and L'pool are use to having­ sub-standard keepers, so Reina is better than 'em).­ Its all an expensive experiment, we buy players and­ sell them after a couple years. No continuity, its a­ mess. The club needs direction and a manager with­ direction. What surprises me is that there was a lot­ more continuity with Benitez at Valencia. There was a­ season where he only bought one player, Rufete. And he­ won the La Liga twice in three seasons. Liverpool need­ that continuity and consistency, rather than randomly­ changing team that takes half a season to gel and start­ performing. No wonder he never knows what his best team­ is. Yet we Liverpool fans keep saying we'll win the­ league. When will it bl**dy happen?

Reina
Arbeloa-Carra-Skrtel-Dossena
Babel-Mascherano/Alo­ nso-Gerrard-Riera
Keane-Torres

best formation n places­ rather then last sunday formation

Luxy, yes arsenal are a good team, but u are seriuosly­ delliuded if u think there young squad can beat any of­ the other top 4 teams, without fabregas you have very­ little to boast about in midfield, maybe if u kept hold­ of helb and falmini... but u didnt, as for rosicky if­ he ever gets injury free he wuld have forgotten how to­ play!
LIVERPOOL ALL THE WAY!
