Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings

[Offspring]

Exactly! If you don't play youngsters in these kind of difficult times, they won't be men. Look at Kelly and Shelvy. They are improving by the minute of every game they play.

The next generation of true blood reds lies in KD hands and I can see he is not shy in blooding youngsters. Even Pacheco was on the bench but unfortunately he was an unused sub. Will be most excited to see him soon.

I have given up hope of a good season but as long as one or two young local lads come true, it will be a success of some sort.

Spot on, I can't believe some fans are criticising the wrong things. Shelvey doesn't have pace or some special talent, but he plays without fear and is always look for the ball. I respect that in a young player.

Spearing did ok (of course he is no Mascher at this point), but Cole, Babel, Poulsen etc have to earn their spots and not based on their reputations.

Skrtel has been very disappointing. In the last couple of matches, we have really missed the leadership of Stevie and Carra.

I like what Kenny is doing now focussing on our team and even saying he will rebuild the confidence of Kon and Poulsen. I'm sure he is talking about transfers in private but it's important to get the squad together and believe in each other.

We need new blood for defence....

I hope you didn't get the wrong idea that I was being harsh on your previous post. Just sharing my opinion. What KD is basically saying is that his rightback Johnson is better than his 2 leftbacks in Aurelio and Konchesky at the leftback position. And Johnson did float in the cross that Kuyt headed and subsequently lead to Meireles's goal.

Your views are important and welcomed in this thread. Hope to see you posting more in the near future.

carragher has been under heavy criticism for "poor form", "slow" and "over the hill" earlier tis season, but i think we missed his organisation and leadership at the back...

if carragher was on the pitch, skrtel would definitely kenna "buttered" by him when he lost his man and conceded such soft goal...

maybe next match kenny should pair soto and agger (if he stays fit)...
too bad tat ayala is injured, else maybe can drop skrtel and try him too, he was impressive during the few matches he played last season..

Every time I see soto now, he is slower and slower. He had a few good matches earlier in the season but seems a liability now.

Bent is going to Villa - where is our striker???

We are linked with Downing - can it get any worse???

sure it can get worse, if rumours in the media r to be believed:


Liverpool are believed to have made a £2.5 million offer to acquire the services of Bayern Munich midfielder Mark van Bommel.

Liverpool on the way back says Torres


Liverpool are heading in the right direction under new coach Kenny Dalglish according to striker Fernando Torres.

Speaking after the 2-2 draw with city rivals Everton on Sunday, the back-to-form Spaniard said that the dismal start to the season uner Roy Hodgson was quickly being forgotten.

"We are disappointed with the result but we are improving and moving in the right direction," said the 26-year-old.

"The performance of the team was very good again and we are playing better.

"The most important thing is getting results but if we keep playing like that they will come soon.

"Our target is just winning games. We will see what happens in the next game because we need to start getting three points in every game.

"We will see what happens at the end of the season but we have to start winning because it's a long time since our last one (against Bolton on New Year's Day)."

Torres felt Liverpool could have nicked the derby game with a bit more luck as after he hit the post in the first half the home side dominated, with Raul Meireles scored his first goal since joining in the summer.

Half-time saw their fortunes turn around as Everton scored twice within six minutes of the restart but Dirk Kuyt's penalty ensured Dalglish finally got a point on the board.

"If we had taken the chances we had, particularly in the first half, we would have been winning by two or three at half-time - but that's football," Torres told LFCTV.

"In the second half they started well and scored two goals.

"After that we had a good reaction and got level at 2-2.

"We had chances at the end but you don't always get the reward you deserve when you play well. We are disappointed by that."

Will be a great signing if this is true. Saw him play at last World Cup and he was pretty impressive. BUT i would have preferred Pool to sign Diego Forlan instead.

Liverpool linked with Suarez bid

Liverpool are reported to have made a move for Ajax striker Luis Suarez.

Luis Suarez appears to be ready to take the next step in his career

Ajax boss Frank de Boer has confirmed Suarez, 23, has indicated that he wants to move on if an offer comes in and said that plans for his replacement are already in place.

"I've had a showdown with Luis," De Boer said. "I wanted to know what his plans are and what the future will bring. Luis is training hard. He told me that if a big club comes in for him now he is ready to talk to them.

"I've a back-up scenario ready."

Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reported on Monday that Liverpool made contact with Ajax on Saturday night and negotiations continued on Sunday.

Suarez is said to be eager to move to Liverpool due to the number of Spanish-speaking players at the club and recently stressed his desire to compete at the highest level.

"If I move I want to join a real football club where they play good, attacking football," Suarez said in the Sunday Mirror. "I will decline any offer from clubs like Shakhtar Donetsk or [Zenit] St Petersburg where they offer you sacks full of money.

"I've an obsession to win trophies. I am a South American with the mentality to win."

Interim Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish was due to meet with the club's owners on Monday to discuss transfer policy.

Suarez is 23 while Forlon is 32? I think the new director is looking for players with resale value in future. Suarez is the guy who use his hand to prevent a goal during the world cup right?

LOL. I've been thinking of Forlan since like 3 yrs back. forgotten abt his age liao but know aga aga he's not very young anymore. think he can still contribute but gotta give steep discount lah!

at least Suarez or Forlan will be better than Carlton Cole. Never like him!

[Offspring]

Imagine Fernando and Luis upfront with Gerrard supporting.

3 midfield with Raul, Lucas and Dirk.

4-3-1-2. No width but with Kelly and Glenn running up to support, I think ts the way to go.

Time to get rid of some deadwood. But if KD needs backup, I think with Cole, Milan and a few others will do just find. But please sell Poulsen and konchensky.

no worries bro, we are all rooting for the same team.............

KD should have converted GJ to right wing (since he cannot defend) with kelly at RB........that would be better with him playing left back as you can see this position hinder his ability to take on defenders and attack........even though he set up the first goal...........

we should blood youngsters no doubt but when we are chasing the game or looking for the winner, dont you think it's wiser to put in established players like cole or babel or ngog rather than sticking with spearing, which for me had not done or contribute anything to the game and shelvey, who is running around like a headless chicken..........we should bring in these youngsters when we are comfortably in the lead.........juz my 2 cents worth..........YNWA

btw.......where are our new signings????? january ending soon........

and good news come in pairs...

http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/lates...-kenny-to-stay

our Stevie G had spoken on his admiration for KD...

" I want to do everything in my power to ensure that he stays here for a long time, beyond the initial six months..."

" I'd love nothing better when the end of the season comes than for us to be on the back of a good run of results that ensures he gets the job full-time.."

" I think he's the perfect person to get everyone moving in the right direction again. He's the talisman at this club. His nickname, the King, says it all really. He's the perfect manager and also person to bring it all together.."

hmm...dun recall the same sentiments were shared for the previous RH...

Aiya, Stevie is always diplomatic, and he has never said anything bad of our managers from Houllier to King in the worst of times
