Hmmm. Not sure about that - the 2nd part that is (not watching ). He was unlucky with injuries at the start of last season, but his performances when fit shows why he spent more time on Chelseas bench than the varnish! I think this is a shop window exercise. Don't get me wrong, he is a decent enough squad player - i.e. bring him on for the last 15mins for a winger to tighten it up and see out a 1-0 win, but he is no where near the standard I expect of Liverpool. If anyclub offers us 5-10m we should bite their hand off; or even as a plus cash offer when entering negotiains with another club. Maybe he fancies a trip to Valencia to replace Mata
Was expecting Kelly (Flanagan according to the commentator) to be in that gap to take Shelvey's pass.
observations; 1. wilson has put on some musle (i hope its muscle) over the summer. thats a good thing. 2. spearing is too fond of slow lofted balls out wide and needs to have more zip in those. 3. cole looks up for it and fitter than last season. 4. pacheco is way too lax. he's trotting about like this isn't a chance to impress. disappointed in his movement. 5. shelvey looks unift but passing is good. 6. n'gog is the same old rubbihs. ok he got his goal but he did his best to let the defedner back in. 7. over all not too bad or unexpected for a first game. I think its a nice easy opener for fitness but gets us back in the groove nicely, just what i need to get me going and avoiding the boring chat on transfers
Thanks asword, the 100+ people in my office just turned around and looked at me bursting out laughing!
I thought that Steer was a plant. He didn't sound Chinese when I saw the team. Do you think we're popular in China because it's 'Red China'?
Aqua's in Stevie's shirt no. No conclusions apart from that. I remember how good Voronin looked in a PSF. What happened to all those people who wanted Joe Cole on the pitch at the World Cup? Seems like it was everybody in the country except Capello who rated him then.
whats the team now? the defense changed to wisdom agger kyrgiakos robinson and kuyt came on for cole.... pacheco better get his finge rout and just be more lively.
Wisdom on for Kelly. Agger on for Carragher. Kyrgiakos on for Wilson. Robinson on for Flanagan. Kuyt on for J.Cole. Jones on for Gulacsi. Carroll on for N'Gog. Aquilani on for Poulsen. Adam on for Spearing. Rodriguez on for Pacheco. Coady on for Shelvey.
