LIVERPOOL FC ........ SEASON 2007/08

.

The new footballing season is only a few hours away from kickoff and teams up and down the country will be hopeing for a good start to their own campaign.

We'r no different.

Millions and millions have been spent this summer on recruiting new players and our summer has been interesting to say the least.

TORRES....BABEL....VORONIN....BENAYOUN.....LEIVA.....LETO.....MIHAYLOV....ITANDJE and a bus load of top quality youngsters.

Not to mention the fact that Rafa still wants to buy Heinze and Cicinho

He certainly has been busy recruiting ..... and selling.

But this summer has all been about the owners keeping their promise of investing in club on and off the field. Theyve certainly made an impact on that front..not just by giving Rafa the backing that he needs to buy top quality players but also investing their time and efforts to see that we have a world class stadium to play in, in the near future.

But its on the field where it matters for the next 9 months

In preseason the players and the manager have put an emphasis on starting the season in a positive way starting away to Villa and then home to Chelsea.

The Fa Premier League is no doubt the best league in the world and with the top teams heavily investing in top players it will no doubt get even better

This season is going to be the best ever in terms of entertainment

Whether we become serious contenders remins to be seen

very tough opening game.

rafa has to be at his best to out smart martin oneill.

i dont think mascherano will play. benayoun will probably be benched too with babel probably not even making it.

i reckon he'll play champs league final line-up with kewell on the left. but crouch instead of mascherano. (442-gerrard deeper). high powered subs this time round. torres will play some part.

we'll probably miss loads of chances and torres to get the winner, on as a sub.

expect the gap between us and man utd to get closer

for us to win this season, all players to click from the start, no big injuries and some good luck

i cant see him playing many of the new signings apart from torres

Benayoun isn't in the squad, which isn't a surprise really because its an away game. I think he'll feature more at Anfield.

Villa was the last game we won on the opening day of the season and that was four or so years ago. Bit strange that we haven't started the league at home for sometime now.

I think its just taking each game as it comes. I can see us winning today provided selection is right. I'm gonna go for Stevie to Partner Mascharano with Kewell and Pennant on the wings. Back is the same. Torres to start with Kuyt

control game, create chances, not score, and get punished
but stevie pulled it off again

thought torres had a good game[he needs a few months to get use to premiership]
babel looked good when he came on

both wingers shouldve done better, final ball let both down

we had complete control of game for 85mins

one unlucky mistake my carragher and we were punished but luckily gerrard pulled it off

gerrard, alonso ran the midfield, wingers let us down today[pennant, risse]

kuyt and torres linked up well

torres seems a classier version of kuyt, works his arse off for the team, and for a slim guy, is very strong. he shouldve scored but luckily kuyt was alert, and ended up as own goal

we had lots of chances, i agree with some_body, we looked crap on the wings, and pennant really annoyed me with his "dickhead" behaviour.

at full back, we looked sound defensively but not attacking enough.

what a goal from gerrard though!

babel looked awesome when he came on, 3 shots, 2 on target. with power. torres played well, kuyt aswell, both could have done better with their shooting. but that should come soon.

surprised crouch and benayoun wasnt on the bench. reckon theyll play against toulouse.

I was saying throughout last season too that Pennant is an average player and his final ball is dreadful 8 out of 10 times. I guess Riise has the saving grace of a deadly left foot and being versatile but Pennant doesnt even have a good strike on him.

Pennant isnt worth his place in our XI.

3 points in anycase, and so the ball rolls on.

with pennent playing, he provides the team width to strech teams
and hes got pace for the counter attack

houllier days we never had width, and pace on the wings

pennant gives you that, and it gives the team good balance

gerrard cuts in and it narrows the team

babel played well, but for sum reason, his first touch didnt look that good, but he managed to keep the ball, cause his power[under a good couch, he could become awesome player

Yeh Pennant didnt play wel but its early days...he was on fire in preseason not puttin a foot wrong. Its gud to hav options

theyl be times when gerrard will probably play out on the right coz i gurantee rafa wont play him there for every single game

there will be times when we wil need to play 2 defensive kinda midfielders (eg sissoko n masch)

the main thing is that we looked very gud goin forward...esp gerrard

babel will be awesom for us...once him n torres get used to the pace of the british game

Agree with SB, luckily we have Peter Couch to teach Babel a thing or two about first touch...lol.

Pennant didn't have the best of games, but it wasn't that bad either and he'll just get better. Riise for me was a dissapointment, conceded possession one too many times.

UK Jatt is right, you can just see that Gerrard will play on the right agasint Chelsea. I reckon it will be Mascharano and Alonso in midfield.

Going from what I saw of chelsea yesterday, its Shaun Wright-Phillips we need to stop. He created so much space for the others and his pace is phenomenal. Looks a different player all of a sudden.

Malouda looks a very good buy.

i dont think we should try to stop chelsea by sacrificing our own attacking players.

if we defend against essien, malouda and chelsea as a whole, we'll be giving them nothing to think about.

i think we should go 4-5-1 -> 4-3-3 against them, with mascherano, gerrard and sissoko in the middle, babel and kewell making up the 5 with torres up on his own. he and babel are the only ones who can trouble them with pace and power.

A decent game, professional job done by the lads and an excellent goal by Voronin...bang top corner

Plus points were Mascherano who was full of energy in the middle...even tho he did giv the ball away a few times but he was always willing to battle for the cause and went on some long runs himself. Babel started on the right and wasnt that gud until he went over to the left and looked more dangerous. Hyypia was a rock at the back again.

whoa, check him how, he has no arse! didnt need an arse to score a goal like that! awesome strike.

but, i thought babel was pretty good in the highlights of the toulouse match, he layed off for gerrard very nicely. benayoun looks a player doesnt he? good touch, pretty direct, spots a good pass.

i'd be tempted to bench gerrard and start sissoko for the chelsea match. but, as you know, im damn crazy.

very excited about the weekend, but shouldnt be, because everytime i am, my bubble always gets burst!

guys...should gerrard be risked against chelsea?

i know its only a hairline frscture but another big knock could worsen it

whether he pl;ays or not...sissoko has to play for me...rafas wants to attack more this year and hes said it might make us weaker at the back..which is why we need someone like sissoko whos got big long legs and the pace to track back when the opposition break forward.

i hope rafa doesnt use a cautious approach..we'r at home and we should attack them like we did last yr and we ended up being 2-0 up at half time

my line up would be

.................Reina
Finnan Carragher Agger Riise
.....Gerrard Alonso Sissoko
...Torres ....Kuyt ......Babel

Is it just me or did Voronin's goal take a deflection of the defender that came sliding in? Replays proove kinda inconclusive.

Hopefully we can grab 3 points against Chelsea which would gives us a huge phsycological boost and with Man UTD dropping points would put us in a somewhat great position.

I dont think Rafa is stupid enough to risk Gerrard, especially this early on in the season so if Gerrard does play then its probably because he is ok. Rafa is probably just being over-cautious in the press as he doesnt want Gerrard playing for England and coming back with some stupid injury.

Dont really think we need to overload the midfield against Chelsea especially as the likes of Ballack and Essien are not going to play. Championship winning teams play to their own strengths rather than trying to counter the tactics of the opposing team because not before long we will play a team like Bolton who will then try to counter our tactics and our players wont have a clue as how to break them down, as happened so many times last season.

With the players we have now Rafa should really ditch the whole counter-attacking style of play. Apart from in Europe obviously.

So if neither of them happen Rafa will hav to try and find alternatives but in saying that if Rafa wanted someone he would hav got someone by now...he might wait til Jan.

LIVERPOOL FC V CHELSEA FC

.

I think the last couple of times when this fixture has been this early in the season chelsea went on to win both games 1-0 and 4-1.
This fixture last year saw us beat chelsea 2-0 when the chelsea defence had the likes of Terry and Carvalho injured and had to settle with Ferreira and Essian as centre backs. But took advantage of that and beat the team that was infront of us.

Todays fixture will be alot closer as Chelsea are full strenght with their captian John Terry making a full recovery from and injury he suffered during the summer.

All eyes will be on the new boys (if they play), the likes of Malouda and Sidwell of Chelsea and Anfield Debutants Torres, Babel, Benayoun etc

Theres been alot of talk about 'making a statement of intent' if Liverpool overcome their rivals today but im predicting a more cautious and tight affair

a tight 1-1 for me

UK_Jatt - Were you watching the same game as I? How can you say Pennant had a good game? He was utter crap! I cannot even remember one noteworthy cross or dribble that he put in. The only thing worthy he done was some of the tracking back he done in the 10-15 mins prior to being subbed off.

What frustrates me is that Chelsea were there for the taking today but rather than trying to kill off the game we were too busy just lobbing the ball up there. Alonso also looked alot of the pace today and I would probably keep him out of the next game if todays showing is the best he is currently capable of performing.

Babel was also a bit frustrating as he did not want to eat up the space on the wing and was always cutting in.

AND wtf were we doing in the last minute of the game trying to play some 'ole' football rather than just hoofing it into the box...like we had done for most of the game prior to that??

Having said that, the ref cost us 2 points and an psychological advantage. So infuriating especially with the way todays other results have gone!

Sorry I disagree, I thought some of Pennant's crosses were superb, shame no one got on the end of it, but he wasn't playing badly.

I would go as far as to say Steve McLaren should consider him on the England squad, think that might have been mentioned to him.

Lets get over the penalty, it will put a downer on the game and i'm sure the headlines tmrw will vent our frustrations! There was a lot of positives to take away from the match, more so than in previous clashes against Chelsea. Liverpool 16 shots on target, Chelsea only had 7. A striker who looks promising and has already repaid some of those millions spend on him! Gerrard back in central midefield, where he belongs...

Things can only get better!

WHAT A GAME!

very proud of all of our players only ruined by the referee, finnan was turning and malouda jumped. cant say chelsea cheated, but can only say the ref just lost the plot. once he started booking players for their first challenges in the first half, he was always going to ruin the second half.

alonso for me was flawless and provided gerrard with freedom, but even gerrard defended very well. i disagree with manya too. pennant was damn awesome on sunday. you can see a relationship with torres forming between the two and gerrard - genius pass to put torres through after hard work from kuyt to win the ball and alonso's header.

chelsea were threatening, but always lacklustre.

very impressed with torres. his manner was legendary. he caused lots of trouble, angered terry and subsequently slapped him! haha! i loved that. his goal was something dirk kuyt could never ever ever ever (x 1,000,000) do.

dirk ended up frustrating me when in need for a goal, he cant get a shot, with his feet, on target. in the 60th minute i would have replaced dirk with babel, rather than sacrificing a tiring pennant.

but 1-1 isnt the worst result. if we can walk away from stamford bridge with the same result (or a win) beat united and arse.

the performance was good for us. we just need to be a little more clinical. hopefully that will come (esp from kuyt).

REF ROB STYLES APOLOGISES

Referee Rob Styles will not officiate in the Premier League next weekend following his performance in the Liverpool-Chelsea game on Sunday.
Styles was criticised for awarding a controversial penalty to Chelsea.

Referees' chief Keith Hackett told BBC Radio 5live: "It is just like with players, if they miss an open goal they are likely to be dropped."

Styles also appeared to show Chelsea's Michael Essien a second yellow card but then failed to send him off.


Interview: Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez

Former referee Hackett is general manager of Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), the body which oversees referees.

The referees' supremo has apologised to Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez for the error.

Hackett added: "I spoke to Rob this morning and obviously he is extremely disappointed with the decision and admitted he got it wrong. I have left a message with Rafael Benitez to apologise.

"Having looked at a video and seen a better angle and a better view, clearly he (Styles) now recognises that he got it wrong and he's deeply apologetic for that. I think, in fact, he too will be making contact with Liverpool in order to offer his apologies."

Asked about the confusion when Essien appeared to be booked for a second time, Hackett said: "I'm informed by both the fourth official and Rob he retained the card shown to John Terry then held the card to indicate a direct free-kick, and failed to put the card away.

"So it was a basic, if you like, admin error as against an error in application of law.

"We'll look at the video to ensure we don't get a repeat of that."

Benitez was left incensed and skipper Steven Gerrard said Styles had "cracked" after he penalised Steve Finnan for a foul on Florent Malouda, although replays showed there was no contact.

"That decision is impossible to explain, it was the invisible penalty" said Benitez after the 1-1 draw.

Hackett also revealed assistant referee Ian Gosling will be given next weekend off, after he denied Fulham a late goal at home to Middlesbrough when David Healy clearly forced the ball over the line.

He said: "Clearly the assistant referee has made an error, so he won't be operating next week for us either."

But Hackett defended the overall standard of refereeing, describing the mistakes over the weekend as a "hiccup".

The Essien incident happened shortly after Styles had awarded Chelsea their penalty, which Frank Lampard converted to level the scores after Fernando Torres put Liverpool in front with a goal on his home debut.

Former Premier League referee Graham Poll told BBC Radio 5live that Styles did not book Essien twice but that his award of a card to Terry looked "messy".

"At the first look I definitely thought he had booked Essien a second time," said Poll.

"Having looked I can see that as Rob raises the yellow card he points over to John Terry and says that it is John he has cautioned.

"He had just given a penalty and you have a gut feeling as a referee that you might have made a mistake.

"You are under pressure then and when the stress is at its highest it is difficult to think clearly and get everything right."

Poll, who booked Croatia's Josip Simunic three times during a World Cup match in 2006, added: "It was a big mistake."

Benitez had no sympathy with Styles after the match, adding: "I want to have a lot of respect for referees, but sometimes I cannot understand why they give some decisions.

"I think he will watch the video of the match and admit that his penalty decision was a mistake."

Come across this following complaints to merseyside police after sundays game:

"Complaints made to Merseyside police yesterday, from Chelsea fans who had 2 cups of urine thrown on them from the Anfield upper yesterday. One complaint about an adult Liverpool fan who leant over the segregation mesh and spat in the face of a 7 year old boy"

No faeces thrown this time but then spitting on a 7 year old boy is a new low!

Not a got a link for sunday's excrement chucking activities as such, just people in the know of a particular united forum have been informed of the complaints to the merseyside police. But when your own club has admitted in the past cups of shit have been thrown then it will hardly be a shock if these reports are confirmed!

Skysports.com understand that Micah Richards is yet to sign his new contract at Manchester City.



City offered the England star fresh terms late last month, but as yet the deal remains unsigned.


Richards is arguably one of the hottest prospects in world football and City are desperate to tie him down to a new contract - even though he has two seasons left on his current deal.


The player's current contract is below the level of an England international, which has prompted City to make their move.



Interest


Most of Europe's big-guns, including England's top four - are keeping very close tabs on the situation.


The 19-year-old made his name last season at right-back - but new City boss Sven Goran Eriksson has switched him to central defence where he has only enhanced his already huge reputation with a series of excellent displays - including a Man of the Match performance in the Manchester derby win over United on Sunday.


Although Richards' deal has not been rejected, City are anxious that their current offer remains unsigned.


THIS is the 1 we should buy

I was waiting for this response about evidence and once again you ALF fall into the trap!Fonzi, pimp and many an other idiot i suggest you take in a game. Dont even try to cross that prawn sandwich line with me because you wont have a leg to stand on. See what you may discover is that everything that happens at football isnt repeated or covered in the media, so just because it isnt on the BBC wesbite or any other shite house internet source you live off does not mean it didnt happen. Keep your delusional support to t'internet and let your real supporters get on with it. Here's a link you muppets may be interested in, it was for the game against us in the FA Cup in 2006 when Alan Smith broke his leg. Your own club admitted it happened, now in the early days after another similar event happens you lot are up in arms without a clue. It a possibility it may not be true but with a precedent set would you be surprised if it was? Sometimes i wonder why i bother but i just cant help it. I wish i was more like Joe, he knows the score but i got this side that just loves to wind up the ALF!

I've read of a few accounts where girls as young as 12 get slapped outside OT just because they wear a liverpool scarf. Some people are just bad as each other and don't know where to draw the line.

The urine and Spitting incident is ridiculous especially if you consider that Chelsea aren't even arch rivals. I know a lot of Chelsea fans are Far Right Facists or bandwagon jumpers but some of them have been loyal to their club way before Roman came in.

@joe - Tbh for shirters Old Trafford is one the easiest grounds for away fans to visit. If you come mob handed looking for it then certainly you'll get what you looking for but that rarely ever happens in the modern era now. No doubting joe there are idiots in every support and i have seen a few in ours. But at the end of the day what you read is accounts, no guaranteed proof. Come on though, a 12 year old girl getting slapped hardly compares to innocent shirters being knifed over several years in liverpool. And i dont like to remind you of Athens but we all know what was going on out there. If this scum amongst your support can do that to their fellow supporters what could they do to rentboys? What i posted has no definate proof at this stage either but your club admitted to it occuring in our fa cup tie in 06, the precedent being set there a probability it happened to against chelsea!I just cant get my head around what posseses someone to piss or shit in a cup and then throw it on opposing fans. Lowest of the low that is.

Also what's the score with you lot having to apply for tickets with an operator at your ticket office due to not having an automated line or e-mail application procedure? A scally was telling me that, i surprised cause as bad as our ticket office is we dont have to stay on hold to speak to any one for applications. That happens when the cock the tickets up in some form or another!The process of ordering tickets is just another money making scam!

such a blinkered view of life, you presume no one else goes to watch matches and your a true fan whilst everone is not. you have such a one sided blinkered view on everything you fart from your mouth and talk out of your ass.

no one gives a shit about your opinion, and your not even winding anyone up but yourself, as for some kid being beaten there are countless examples of this in all football grounds not only now but in the 90's and 80's, there are idiots at every club, it just so happens that i can admit they exist at liverpool and can accept its not the norm, where as you cant even accept its a part of uniteds predigree.

as for the prawn sandwich comment, it wasnt me that said it, it was your old captain.

and im sorry this post is a little longer than usual, it wasnt intended to be, but since your going to reply with a dissertation can you put it into the following format so we can look at it and still ignore the bullshit you write.


here ill help you..

a comment to note:

Avoid one sentence paragraphs. Too many and a page will be filled with numerous gaps, imparting a feeling of discontinuity with the content. Similarly, avoid long sentences. Long sentences are difficult to read, and can obscure an otherwise simple explanation. Try to keep sentence length to less than two lines, and at the same time, make appropriate use of punctuation. Punctuation break a sentence into readable chunks, reduce ambiguity and, if used wisely, can for increase effect and emphasis. A word of warning though - do not apply punctuation at random as they can change the meaning of a sentence.

How many of thos 5 cups you lot always bang on about have been won in open play? Honestly dontthe answer but i would hazzard a guess very few!

Yeh my brother told me about T having the same hassle trying to get the rentboys, basically was no chance. Have the yanks expanded the hospitality packages? It was one of the first things the glazers hit on, the basic packages for the lowest ranked teams starts from around £125 for a meal and match ticket!!!absolute joke.

Typical scouse response, mock Munich but your support rather than pull your man up on it, sweep it under the carpet and focus on something else. And it's not playing the victim at all, just highlighting the hypocricy of the ALF.

As far as the 'I am the Best fan in world', couldnt be further from the truth and show me i actually state that. If that how it comes off that your issue not mine. Whether it's tiresome for you or not it isnt for me, it's a time pass on a public forum where everyone can share their opinion.

thats wicked news coz they were quite close gettin Alves whos now favourite to join Real

It goes to show that its down to Seville and how they over inflated Daniel Alves' price tag....just like theyv done the previous 2 seasons when we tried to sign him.


As for us...cicinho wants to join Roma but Real havnt as of yet accepted their offer as we'v offered them more
and Heinze is definately off the list now....so will rafa bother with other 'possibilities' or will he stick it out until jan when most of the top talent has already gone or cuptied?

I haven't watched any of the other finals apart from Istanbul, but as far as I know our first European Cup win Keegan gave Berti Vogts a terrible time. So i'm assuming we had most of the attacking play. I think it finished 3-1 in the end.

Its a shame that the likes of Barnes, Aldridge, Rush and Beardsley didn't get to showcase their qualities in Europe. I'm sure it would be 6 or 7 if they had....and in style as well

@Joe Singh - Very much a possibility Everton could have had old big ears in their trophy room too with the team they had in the 80s. Watch our 68' final if you ever get bored, turned Benfica over a treat or our 5-1 demolition job our 66' game away at the Stadium of Light against them, probably the most feared team at the time above even Real.

@UK_Jatt_1 - You really are a strange one, all imaginary hugs and group kisses in an internet forum!As far as i heard the Ciccinho deal to Roma was done and dusted, £6.1m. Dont make sense either though, why pay that much for a back up to Finnan?
