    Missed the lap of honour at the end of the match but I've found a video of it if anyone else missed it. Our players do have a lot of children don't they. Shelvey is 20 and already has two kids!

    Neil Mellor retires from football.
    'Tis a shame. I'll never forget that goal vs Arsenal & assist vs Olympiakos.

    Not Shelvey's kids...think they're nieces.

    Also so many younglings. Imagine if our squad actually had a proper night's rest before games

    Decent foundations of what? He has the body of a bull but the mind of a turd.

    He shouldn't need Lucas to cover him a lot of the time. The problem is that he's very one footed, lacks intelligence and that he tries to shield the ball by planting his leg over it. It works against the average winger most of the time but he gets destroyed by anyone who has more pace than him or those who target his positioning.

    We've seen him be at fault a number of times this season and imo he'll get a red card some point soon for the way he plants his foot to win the ball (if he rolls over the ball, he could break an ankle imo).
    Exactly. Too be frank a lot of players have the mind of a turd, but football intelligence can be worked on. A LB doesn't need to be that smart, if you can drill in and work on his defensive duties and his weakness he will be a pretty decent LB.

    When Banitez was manager and Vallero was goalkeeping coach he would go over every minute and Reina's game. If he made a mistake he would go through them with him see what was going on in his mind and look to improve on it. He taught him to move his positioning with every pass of the ball so he was always in the right spot if danger was there.
    That helped Reina be as great as he was, he didn't come to Liverpool a goalkeeping mastermind, but the way he was coached really helped. You can see now Reina is in decline he has had like 4 different GK coaches in 2 years so it's actually making him worse.

    I'm not saying we coaching staff is terrible but I think their methods are because they are obviously not working. If they were you think that downing might actually be doing something, but then again it might just be Downing. It's similar in a lot of our players though.

    Well the plan would be to buy 3 memberships.

    Tbfh, I don't know why I'm overthinking it, I get a payrise in August so I can afford it
    Lucky you.
    Just did my finance and realized at most I'll be able to go to around 2-3 games this season. I'm thinking it might be better just to watch it at home.
    Probably will just buy the new kit.

    Becoming a full time student is really gonna limit me next season too, though I was planning to go to quite a few

    Even so, its still one game in a season in which he's played 45 or so. And there were extenuating circs in that game IIRC.

    30 odd league games with one yellow says more, tbpfh.
    He is better now than he was before (Rooney) you can't even deny he had a temper, kicked out at people and dived somewhat. There is probably a plethora of gif's to back that.
    Suarez will probably calm down somewhat in the near future, someone is likely to have a word with him, I'm not sure but he looks like hes staying on his feet more often so maybe someone has had a word with him.

    I might get membership this time but that would mean starting from 0 loyalty. Also trains from the midlands to Liverpool and back are piss :p:
    I started from 0 loyalty this season, and trains from the south and back most of the time for the weekend! You might not have first scoop at the tickets come July and November, but there's plenty of chances to go to games. The cup games you can easily get hold of tickets for and the PL games lots get returned and resold closer to the time

    Essien tackle was discussed a page or two back. Try reading back before posting nonsense.
    Nonsense? What was nonsense? I'm talking about the fact that the headlines on in the media were about Suarez, and how he was lucky to still be on the pitch, with no mention of the Essien tackle. And then everyone I have spoke to since has suggested the same thing, that's whats nonsense.

    You said it was funny how fans and the media made light of the Essien tackle, I pointed out that it was nonsense given that it was discussed in this thread a page back from your mini rant.

    Dunno, Enrique is pretty old already (relative to learning, ie he's 25 so most players have learnt and engrained their style of play), it's not even improving on basics, it's a case of learning some very basic things like when to provide an overlap in attacking or how to be two footed.

    Well my problem is more getting up to Anfield from London and convincing my gf to come along or to let me disappear for the day

    Adding in the cost of transport suddenly makes it very expensive on top of the ticket prices..
