  1. COME ON LIVERPOOL U CAN DO IT MIGHTY REDS. TORRES­ GERRARD AND ALL THE OTHER LIVERPOOL PLAYERS ARE GREAT­ SO GO ON REDS

    From Dina, on Mon 9 Nov 8:27PM

  2. liverpool keeper = class
    full backs = great
    centre­ backs = best in prem
    left mid = exellent
    centre mids =­ top class (if gerrard is included as centre mid)
    right­ mid = we dont have one!!! kuyt is a striker!
    strikers =­ mint
    what do we need then?
    i think another awsome­ striker, and a top class right mid. couple that with­ what we alredy have, and i think we can win the league.­ i would buy sergio aguero before chelsea get their­ filthy mitts on him

  6. DELUDED LIVERPOOL FANS. WHAT AN AVERAGE TEAM THEY ARE

    From JACK, on Mon 9 Nov 6:43PM

  7. as usual i see fellow so called liverpool fans callin­ for rafa to be sacked n deluded manure fans spoutin the­ usual @#$%..benitez is the best manager in the­ premiership bar none.his tactical brain is second to­ none.the @#$% results lately are down to the overpaid­ overrated under achievin gobsh1tes on the pitch not­ doin what rafa tells em. when the team follow his­ instructions to the letter we're unstoppable.the­ players need to start doin as told n rafa needs ta­ shift some of the deadwood..voronin dossena to name­ just 2.we showed against manure what happens when the­ team follow rafas instructions to the letter.quickest­ way to reverse this liverpool form is really­ simple.rafa should be allowed to lay the law down n­ tell the team straight ''you do as i say or you­ dont get paid''.if rafa handed that ultimatum­ down we'd win the fkin title this season.

  8. i think Liverpool must fired Rafa then get other­ manager...
    huhu...
    sometime Rafa make the best strategy­ for Liverpool,but sometime he make so stupid­ formation...
    I'm fun of Liverpool 4ever...i think­ the reds will win the title this season if they buy­ some defender like Insua and Johnson at center..

  9. selfpitycity think you'll find english clubs get­ blamed for everything in europe! LFC (alleged) fans­ reacted to juventus fans (who fired flares at us) and a­ wall coallapses! those lives should never have been­ lost and its a great loss to the game and the world,­ but english teams are not the be all and end all when­ it comes to trouble but we are when it comes to­ punishment! Sure Chelsea fans will agree after manure­ tapped up talent for yrs and got away with it!!!
