Many a times it will not b noticed as it is nothing fanciful n eye catching. But i can now understand how impt those movements n contributions are.
�
Actually i don't quite agree. I thin Sterling, by his standard of late last season, had a terrible game last night. Could not keep the ball or possession for 80% of the time when the ball reached him. Did you see how he ran ahead of the ball, or let defenders dispossessed him and suddenly the whole team was under pressure as WBA was so fast to counter in comparison?�
�
Lallana did show some of his talents last night, but I'll still not rate him as living up to 25m pounds (yet). Hope he gets there, though, and soon too. Hendo I felt also didn't influence the game much till his goal, and didn't influence it sufficiently after that too...
�
SG got idea when pushed up, but can see so obviously that it's ???????. It's familiar role for him, but his legs just not bringing him to the places he used to be able to get to. sigh...
�
Mario has been hardworking in almost every match, to be fair. But as a striker, he's judged on goals, and that's the reason why he didn't start. But Lambert is even more jialat. He's prob even slower than SG, how to trouble defenders� no wonder Southampton was willing to let him go. 4 mil fall from the sky. It was exactly what carragher said pool knew when they sold torres (that he was going downhill), except that the amount involved is quite different.
�
Coutinho i think has lost it, then again so have most of the players� sigh sigh...
�
There continues to be no movement from anyone = no options for the player holding the ball and looking to pass the ball. Whoever holding the ball is hoping that one of the midfielders or strikers would happen to be in a perfect position with lots of space and time, so as to pass the ball to such a person. When he sees got no such luck, he will turn around and pass the ball back to the CBs to pass to the other side, then repeat and chalk up the possession chart��
�
We saw this last season too, but it was usually when the team was ahead by a few goals, and when opponents were not prepared. The opponents would commit more players to try to close them down, and the purposeful runs of LS, DS, RS, PC, JH, etc. will create lots of good options to hit the opponents by storm.
�
Now opponents smart, just park bus, all ready to close down players once the FBs start to pass the ball forward, and find energetic midfielders and strikers to chase for balls.
�
Result = what we see now. Sigh sigh sigh...
�
I seriously don't see how we can get into UCL again if there is no dramatic improvement in form. Even incremental or minor improvement will not help, at all. sigh sigh sigh sigh...
relac lah bro.... based on your commentary above, our whole team is worthless.
�
if thats the case, then its the manager's fault ;p
�
I don't. He doesn't bring anything into the game. If he is not blue eye boy I don't think he will even be bought.
He moves the ball faster than Coutinho who lives to take a few touches and SG who loves to take his eyes off the ball n glance upfield for a chance to make a Hollywood pass...

Okay he move faster and don't take eye off the ball. No wonder keep lossing ball.
He perform well... But he need ppl to support. He does have the tendency to over dribble...
�
There is no such thing as over dribble.
�
He had to dribble, thats how he scored.
�
The problem is when he doesn't dribble well enough
�
and loses the ball. He need to practice dribbling more
�
so he can score more. Do you ask Messi to dribble less?

Henderson heaping praises on Lallana.
Wat do you guys (those who watched the last game) think?
lallana was good. lots of movements n tried hard to open up the game. if he continues his form, he can offer a lot together with sterling. he jus needs to know when n where to release the ball. in fact, i think the whole team suffered from not knowing what to do with the ball. many times when they can bring the ball, they will make a useless pass. but when they should pass, they will try to dribble. which brings me to sterling....
�
this boy is tired. really tired. last 2 games he was below par. almost none of his touches was good, none of his dribbles was successful, he made many mistakes. he really needs a break.

This season a lot of chances are wasted because the pass is made either too early or too late.

�
I think finally Lallana is given the opportunities to express and assert himself more, after his early injury prevented him from being more involved. He was great when I first noticed him last season. Apart from the Anfield match, which I don't remember much of, he basically led the Soton midfield to give us the run-around in the middle of the park for large spells of the match. It was just that they didn't create clear-cut opportunities, while we were clinical, ruthless, and lucky, so the result was one-sided. Our midfield basically couldn't get the ball off their midfield, which was a shock as we were on a good run. I remember being so stunned and concerned, until we started scoring, and continued doing so...
�
Lallana has great control of the ball, and can - and dare to - wriggle out of dangerous situation with the ball intact. I think only Sterling and Coutinho has the skills to do so in the entire team, but they are both off-form (Coutinho far worse) now.�
�
Lallana brings a breath of fresh air as an outlet to start attacks, c.f. to the by now familiar route of Mignolet-->CB-->FB, who looks up, no option but opponent closing in, wait for Hendo to run towards them then pass to Hendo, and run a few steps back and wait for Hendo to pass back to them, then repeat the whole step again!

Actually I am happy that sterling doesn't do much during the game. The team have to realize they cannot rely on a 19 years old. U will cause him to collapse fast

that is why you see him hardly dribble... but then he don't need to dribble.
Actually most pro footballers work very hard to be at the level they're at.
One of the reasons why those promising youth can suddenly die off.
Was watching "Class of 92". The Man U youth team coach actually said that other than giggs, none of them were thought to be outstanding.
In fact the 2nd most outstanding one of them never played premier league football.
They interviewed that guy (some black guy), he said the difference was how much the pro players trained themselves outside training to improve. After a few years, the improvements just compound.

In local context, I remember one Thai player from Gombak United - Surachai Jaturapattarapong.�
�
One evening about 4.30 when I was jogging i the stadium, I saw SJ warming up and then went for his run. At about 5, the rest of the Gombak players trooped in. They sat around the track, joked and waited for the trainer's instruction. After an hour or so of training on the field, all were dismissed for the day.
�
Guess what, SJ went on to continue his run - didn't see how long more he run though.
�
That's the different between a true pro and the simi sai semi pro players. My respect to SJ, and I watched him most times including his playing for the Thai national team.

That's why criticising him after a game is pointless. He thinks he did everything right.

That kind of self belief can be very empowering if in the right person like him. Got enough talent to make it happen.�
Same as messi and ronaldo though they are at a different level.

Luis Su�rez will be presented the European Golden Shoe by former Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish.
Su�rez arranged for Dalglish to fly to Barcelona to be part of the ceremony which will be held in the Catalan capital next Wednesday, having insisted that he wanted to share the award with his former club.
�
He had hoped that Steven Gerrard would be able to join him at the event too but the Liverpool captain was unable to travel. Su�rez�s initial idea to receive the award in front of supporters at Anfield was not possible.
�
Su�rez won the Golden Shoe, awarded by the European Sports Magazines organisation, after his 31 league goals last season made him the continent�s joint top scorer with Real Madrid�s Cristiano Ronaldo, who will be handed the award in a separate ceremony in Madrid on 6 November.
�
The event was arranged by the Spanish newspaper Marca, a member of the ESM group, but it was the Uruguayan who asked Dalglish to attend.

Yes, he should really bite the bullet and bench unker, so he has some way to go before he becomes as ruthless as Moaner or Hairdryer.�
RB is the one developing the current youth team. the system is set up by him on the year he is sack. all those player like sterling and suso are bought by him too.
�
Inter is destroy by JM who never develop ppl youth team. he will leave just before the need to bleed in next generation.
exactly what i meant....
i feel BR is a notch below Rafa... Rafa can use Houllier's team to win UCL
Last season, BR rode the Suarez bandwagon... this is the season for BR to show he can develop tactics for the team to win. i think he should go back to last season start where we grind out results when LS was banned�
yes. fully agree

Agreed with you :))
RB developed our youth, too bad he didn't have the chance to enjoy the fruits :(
Nevertheless, do have to give credit to BR for giving our youths the chances to play in 1st team as well as being a good motivator for them to shine :))
Waiting to see more youths thru the ranks :))
Long and medium term planning? Hmm goodness sake rb was the one the revamp the academy; Stirling, Susie, shelvey etc. He brought quite a few barca kids over. He failed in his last season not due to tactic or performance. More due to the on going fight with G&H. When credit due we must give credit. I remember in certain games we also played high tempo pressing game like BR. One down side though he like to close shop early.�
In terms of defensive tactical play, I would say yes, RB is better than Rogers. �But if I wanted someone to develop a team in the medium to long term, RB isn't it. His record at Pool, Inter and Napoli is quite telling. �

After a slump of performance from Roy h and Kenny, BR came in and suddenly we see high tempo attacking game again. This style is nothing new. We feel excited watching the game bbecause current pool team doesn't know how to close shop.

He's a good manager and he's the one who overhauled the youth system. But I got sick of watching away games under him, especially in europe.
Even for someone like me who watched the dross that GH sometimes brought out when having heskey as lone targetman away from home.�
Beckham is mediocre if u ask me
�
His hair can never be as cool as Patrik Berger's� � �

The thing about rafa team is. It's very mechanical. They are not defensive just very mechanical.
Rafa team constantly is the one who hit century points first of other team.

haha never mind lah. he's been discussed to death. He plays in a certain way. Just like many of the other top managers.
BR also have a style. Teams that can't defend hehe.

for sake of discussion:
a winning team who plays ugly or a team that plays beautiful football at times but win nothing?
�
i choose the former.
winner mentality must come first.
Beckham is mediocre if u ask me
beckham gets things done... would you have him take dead ball or uncle take deadball? i would take DB.
the way he handle his career esp outside football is outstanding

Rafa's team is mainly set out not to concede.. and use the quality of the frontmen / SG to get the wins
there were times where we had alonso, monster, lucas on the pitch at the same time... not very adventurous
�
team need to know how to close shop... all these come from winning mentality... once u get high on winning, u dun mind winning ugly to get that high again ;p
Balo...

Win first... second is still a loser
if second is important then Houllier n Rafa wont get the boot liao
I will take Beckham also
just that I dun find him special... wat he does all the time is to pass the ball....lofted .... easier to meet...
SG tries too hard to be super hero...
I hv always been against building a team ard 1 or 2 stars eg Torres-Gerrard during Rafa or Suarez last season...
I rather hv 3 x Henderson than 1 Coutinho, 1 Henderson and 1 SG

Sianz...another "up there" goalkeeper snubs us...

Next in line...Dele Alli...but MK Dons? I know he shone from the backside kicking 4-0 victory to scums...but can he withstand the onslaught from Real Madrid and the likes if we progress in Chams league??

Liverpool's Victor Valdes transfer looks off as Spain goalkeeper rejects 'trial'
http://www.mirror.co...1#ixzz3FuIJ63C2�
�
The clubless former Barcelona star has turned down Rodgers' request to spend four days at Melwood proving he is over a major knee injury
�
Liverpool�s bid to sign Victor Valdes has collapsed,�writes Neil Moxley in the Sunday People.
Anfield boss Brendan Rodgers had asked the former Barcelona keeper, now a free agent, to prove his fitness by coming on a four-day visit to�the Reds'�Melwood training ground.
But Valdes, 32, who is recovering from�a serious knee injury, rejected the request.
Rodgers wanted to make sure Valdes would be fit to challenge Simon Mignolet for the No.1 spot.
But the Spain international, who is trying to secure a deal after leaving Barcelona in the summer, was reluctant to go �on trial�.
Better news for Rodgers is that Liverpool are favourites to land Dele Alli from MK Dons.

A 77-year-old�Liverpool�fan who broke her wrist tripping over a traffic cone insisted on watching Liverpool�win 2-1�at home to West Bromwich Albion before going to A&E for treatment.
�
Dorothy Adams, of Widnes, suffered the injury on her way to Anfield last Saturday, but after taking some painkillers she watched the entire 90 minutes before getting medical attention.
�
"I tripped over a cone on the way into the ground and the stewards looked after me," the season-ticket holder of eight years told the�Liverpool Echo.
�
"They gave me a bandage and some painkillers and said they would call an ambulance, but I told them I wanted to see the rest of the match. Luckily Liverpool won so it made it worthwhile.
�
"After the match, my husband took me to hospital and they said it was a complicated fracture. The doctor couldn't believe I had sat through the rest of the game."
�
Although Dorothy was pleased by last weekend's victory, she hasn't been convinced by the Reds' start to the season.
�
"I'm not too impressed with this season so far," she said. "It's been a bit of a rocky start, but hopefully things will improve."
�
Dorothy's husband has been watching Liverpool for more than 70 years.

even though rafa's team is more defensive, but his team was the one that game me one of my most memorable games in recent time...the drubbing of real madrid n man u. so actually that kind of team is more than capable of scoring goals.�

Rafa team sit in, draw out the opponent and choke them deep in midfield...
With Mascherano holding the line... Alonso will spray the passes to the front...
SG will either use his speed or his strength to tear the defence apart..
Leaving Torres to finish off the move...�
�
BR team is trying to choke opponent higher up in the field... in the process make them desperate to break out.... thus losing their shape...�
�
which way is more suitable? depends on the players u hv...�

Balo probably more suitable for Rafa style�

we still hv pple like Suso in the team who can play a part
roy is the worst manager u can hv in dealing with the press. how can he tell the whole world a private conversation he had with a player??!! now sterling has to deal with the unfair criticism he's receiving from everywhere.

Man for Man, this team is probably the strongest/bestest National team after the 80s ..... every player is really really strong. And the bench also power. (In fact that was the time where Asean football was at their peak. Thai, MY, Indo and us. And I miss our tank, Borhan Abu Samah. Such a pity�

Hope the other strikers can step up, Lambert, Borini and Mario !!!

Just when I thought Sturridge will be back for QPR match, he is injured again , another calf injury, another 4 weeks out of action :((

Read somewhere they may bring Origi back from loan (he has been scoring goals for fun).

I hope Pool can terminate the loan of Origi and bring him to EPL :)
But then, he is a young chap and he needs to get use to the furious pace of EPL football...
�
We definitely need a world class striker !
Whats the point of having a good class of midfielders, but no strikers to convert the chances (or half chances) to goals to win....
Already our defence cannot make it liao.. therefore needs strikers to score more leh...
�
Would we kill QPR, the bottom team�tomorrow? Or a big upset awaiting?
�
I want Pool to win !
A ugly win, is still a precious 3 points up the table !
