thanks for your compliments. i just cannot stand seeing people just believe what those crappy journalists with hidden agendas write about liverpool. mourinho somemore!!! dont people know how to read between lines about articles written by pro-manure scums??? even at porto, his squad was very expensive!!! deco, carvallo, paolo ferreira, ricardo (i think), a young talented brazillian, etc... it was virtually the portuguese team at that time. got that kind of money to squander, who wouldnt be able to build a winning team??? well, besides real madrid... and chelsea and inter already had a strong team before he took over.

from the beginning, in this thread no less, i have already said it was a mistake to sell to the american owners. damn!!! i hate that i m right about this. but with barclays, yes!!! they are ruthless in business world, but they are smart enough to know that they should not sell the stars but instead buy a few more to ensure success... so that they can sell up to the next owner. i just hope that the next owner would not be american. they are the worst!!!

there were some players who were worldclass during souness and houllier's time... david james was virtually unbeatable on days when he wasnt on his nintendo, jamie redknapp was sublime, GOD is my favourite No.9 of all time but houllier sold him!!! if u can see, most of them came from the academy. it is time to strengthen the academy again. i heard from my evertonian friend that jack rodwell was actually a liverpool fan in his childhood!!! what the hell is he doing in everton colours??? he is actually the one with the most potential to take over gerrard!!!

for lucas, bros here, give him a break. rafa used him to lower liverpool's valuation so that serious buyers can come in without breaking the bank. the 2 american idiots were asking for 500 mil for 40% share initially. the bloody cheek!!! they were angling for a fast one all along. as for lucas, he was never ready. for an athlete to build his bulk (since last season), he was never gonna gain speed at the same time. he is still not ready to be playing week in, week out. he still needs 1 or 2 seasons to get used to his new body, build on his speed and his vision. right now, he is just a liability and he knows it. he is only interested in not making mistakes by doing a lot of backpasses and jump for the sake of jumping.

I really wonder why there are so many negative remarks about RB?

if i remembered correctly, under GH, we are just another Premier League team, no real threat to other teams. U dont see teams packing 11 men behind the line to defend. Of course, that is also because GH liked to play counter attack like some bro pointed out. Look at Liverpool now under RB, fucking hell, we are a top team challenging CL every year!!! see how much other teams fear to be drawn against Liverpool, especially in Europe. Even in Premier League itself, many teams are adopting "let's aim a draw against Liverpool than to try win the game" attitude.

precisely... a lot of people here read the traditional news and believe everything wholesale.

True, he hasnt shone yet, but so far Maxi has been quite a steal, i'd say. We have been missing someone like him, willing to dribble pass opponents and deliver good passes.

maxi has been unlucky recently :- hit the post on a couple of occasions, blocked shot by own teammate, ball meant for him to score a certain goal robbed by own teammate, etc. but maxi is a breath of fresh air and can clearly see that he is potent in attack. but some people would say that he is not scoring, so not value for money even though he cost liverpool 1.5 mil. he must score his world cup screamers week in, week out.

Anyway, people complained when RB withdraw Torres against Birmingham, but those who watched can see how the match turned after the substitution, we had lots more chances than before that. And we trashed Benfica (a strong European Team) after that! Fulham match was going to be challenging because they put 11 men behind.. it is always going to be difficult to fight teams defending like that..

if there is anything i can complain about rafa, it is his habit of playing one game with one eye on the following game. when watching the birmingham game, i was actually hoping for birmingham to score the winner and teach rafa a lesson. no premier league game is a gimme nowadays. (liverpool is not manure, whereby they have slut teams like stoke, sunderland, wolves, hull that would roll over and play dead for manure but fight tooth and nail against others.) although birmingham was visibly tiring by then, the game wasnt over. oh, and 1 more thing, liverpool likes to sit back and defend after scoring when they should just continue attacking.

PROUD TO BE REDS!!!

well, some are only proud when the reds are winning. YNWA.
