Liverpool FC 2008 - 09 Season Thread

Carra's oggy proved to be crucial, but i'm glad captain fantastic answered with two quick ones. I agree though, this kind of **** is what we'll look back on after the season is over if we don't win the title
 
all of the big 4 dropped points this weekend so at least we're not losing ground. With Arsenal's current form we have a great chance of stealing 3 next week at the Emirates.

This whole two months has just been a stopgap without Torres. I hope he is sitting out enough to be closer to 100% when he gets back on the pitch. I know Rafa loves Kuyt but there was no reason to keep him out there yesterday ahead of Keane during the last half.

Dossena was clearly outclassed yesterday. He just doesn't have the pace to keep up and it burned us. I don't know how much longer he will have at Anfield.
 
At the halfway mark, one point ahead of chelski and seven clear of the mancs, although manU has two games in hand. Four EPL games - with a FA cup tie away to Preston mixed in - before Chelsea visits Anfield on Feb. 1

at Newcastle (12th in league)
at Stoke (18th)
Everton (6th)
at Wigan (9th)

Masch will be back in the starting 11 tomorrow which will let Gerrard attack more and help Keane. Torres could be back, and we've done all right without him. It is concerning though that we haven't seen keano and nando together very much and half the season is already gone. Arbeloa will still be out. Insua has been nails the last two matches, hope he continues getting chances and delivering on them.

Here's to a great 2nd half of the season and an end to the drought. YNWA
 
He wouldn't take the Real move. Guess he doesn't want to leave England.

Other rumors that seem to be likely are Emile Heskey coming to Anfield and Agger going to AC Milan (with Skrtel healthy again), along with Dossena going back to Italy somewhere.
 
AWFUL DAY. Man U and Chelsea both steal wins at the death and the mancs go top. Hopefully a drubbing of the toffees will take the sting out of Saturday.
 
****

I turned on the TV w/10 minutes in both matches. Chelsea losing 1- nil. Scum tied. I told myself -"turn it off!!!" but I had to watch. FUCKIN HELL flipped between Setanta and FSC to watch the worst 15 minutes of the season


Let's beat the blue shite tomorrow
 
If ManU dominates their next match (I believe against West Brom?), it's going to be tough to halt their momentum. But we are barely into the second half of the season, so I refuse to call it a lost cause already, especially seeing as we are at worst three points back. Tough string of draws but if we can get back to our winning ways vs. Wigan, and double up on Chelsea Feb. 1, we've got more than a fighter's chance.

It's 12:09 and Man U still sucks
 
ok - small hiccup against everton in the league, but sunday we need to spank them.

Also strong rumors that Hicks and Gillett will sell out to a Kuwaiti billionaire.

I just hope we don't follow the circus at Man City. We've had enough of a circus the past couple years with our owners
 
Big thanks to our American keeper for that equaliser on sunday, but I think Nando's ball ahead for Gerrard was worthy of a goal itself. Glad we pulled even but I can't help to feel like we should have come away with a victory.

Those two draws at home against Everton have made me a little more urgent. We need a big win over Wigan, and not just 1-0.

COME ON YOU REDS
 
congrats to u guys!

an aside, the FA needs to do something about that officiating crew.

red card to lampard when it wasn't even worthy of a yellow, and then the side referee who somehow misses Bosingwa sticking his boot into Bens back.

mike riley needs to be sent down to league one until he learns how to ref a premier league game
 
his armband proved he was a red
Torres, Torres
you'll never walk alone, it said
Torres, Torres
we bough the lad from sunny Spain
HE GETS THE BALL, HE SCORES AGAIN
FERNANDO TORRES, LIVERPOOL'S NUMBER 9!!!
 
great win yesterday, but that red card for Lampard was pretty harsh.


Looks like Keane is heading back to Spurs today. We basically paid £5M for an unsuccessful 6 month loan.

Wish it worked out for Robbie
 
If he meets the incentives we're only out around £1.5M. Great win yesterday, just have to play like that in the coming weeks.

Lampard shouldn't be suspended for his red, it was unwarranted. Bosingwa deserves to miss a few games though.
 
SPOILER OF GAME V. PORTSMOUTH















What a fun match to watch because Liverpool won!!! Down a goal, down 2-1 and then ties it up as regulation nears its end and then an added time winner by Torres! Great header.

Good stuff and staying alive in the quest for league title.
 
Okay, the final ten minutes of the match were fun, peaking with the stoppage time. You are right though. It was agonizing and then when they went up 2-1 I felt ill. Torres and his fresh legs was a big boost and paid dividends in the end, obviously. I will choose to forget the tense times in this match, the whole match, and focusize on the ending.
 
didn't get to watch the game today. from the looks of the lineup, did we go with five defenders? or did maybe aurelio play more in the midfield.

Glad to see torres snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. here's to a stunner at upton park tomorrow. who the f*** are man united????
 
I noticed that about Riera, and I'm guessing that's why he's usually a candidate to be taken off in the second half for Babel or someone else. But he still shows some flashes of magic and I think he's played well. After all it's his left foot we were interested in not the right

I didn't even notice Skrtel in my quick scan of the lineup. That's a lot of defenders and we still gave up 2. I'm just glad we pulled it off late.
 
Riera has performed well this season but there's been a definite dip over the last few weeks.

For me Babel is not a left winger. He has the pace but that's about it. No vision, always out of control, loses possession half the time he gets a touch. He's a good talent but he's needs development with the reserves. Right now El Zhar is a better winger although he's usually on the right.

N'Gog looked confident Saturday and played pretty well. With Torres hobbled and Keane gone I wonder if they will try to pull Voronin back from loan. I would love to see Nemeth get a shot too but we're out of both domestic cups so I doubt we'll see him this season unless things really tank at the end.
 
This thread was going down the page so i figured i'd revive it with false hope that the mancs will lose today and keep us within two. Come on Fulham!
 
Always good to give this thread a little bump.

Something I thought you guys might like that happened to me today. I've got a history professor over here at Baylor who is a HUUUUUGE Chelsea fan. Grew up going to the matches and everything. Of course, he HATES Liverpool, so basically he has gotten sick of my sly remarks here and there. Anyway, somehow during lecture we got in a little argument over the two teams. We went from Gerrard and Lampard to the match the other week and such, nothing too serious. I guess I overstepped the line when I called out his team and said their season is basically over but I wasn't surprised. Mind you I said this humorously, not rudely. He proceeded to RIP into me about how I need to stop bringing it up all the time and learn to keep my mouth shut about things when I don't have all the facts.

It didnt make much sense to me, but wow, I thought he had a better sense of humor. Anyways, afterwards I had a little chuckle and felt the need to share. That is all.
