Popular Post iancnx Posted August 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Souness is a snide!Better check with TV expert carmine.I'm not sure about the geezer tbh. I'm not sure Carms professes to be an expert. He has his opinions which are carefully considered and for the most part he make good sense, and has a better understanding of tactics than many including me. Whereas in stark contrast, P45, you are devoid of any coherent contribution in any of the footy threads and display as much intelligence as my Beagle........no you display less intelligence actually, my dog has been trained to desist and he does as he is told for most of the time. After note. Do yourself a favour and restrict your posting to the Chavs thread. Then there's no problem. It would be the intelligent thing to do!

BangrakBob Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Alright fella, reckon there's anything in this gathering speculation about Balotelli? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilai Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Looks like it. For me, it's a bit like Risk/Reward at golf....500 yard par 5 with second shot over water. Wilai hits driver off the fairway........splash Apparently, Borini is his best mate and considered a 'calming influence'. Might explain why he hasn't gone to Sunderland 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieH Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 there definitely seems to be something in it doesn't there? so far brendan's been excellent at improving players and the club seems to be doing alright at keeping players' heads straight too. so with balotelli? if you could harness his talent, keep him focused and not have him going weird every ten minutes there's a hell of a player in there.

That's what I'm thinking, we know BR has the knack. Remembering he publicly announced that this was Sturridge's last chance at a big club and look how that turned out. The only thing I don't want to see from a Liverpool player is petulance or sulking, I can't stand that shit in general never mind 100K a week footballer with the privilege of playing football and for Liverpool. He better put a shift in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilai Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Balotelli's head versus Falcao's ACL? For 16m (when you consider Long 12m and Fabio 14m?) a risk worth taking for me. Anyway, it's been a while since we had a nutter in the team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellydog Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Do y'all really think Rodgers can turn water into wine with Balotelli ? Where so many other managers have struggled to do so ? Talented he is, yes, but an absolute nutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think wilai summed it up pretty well on cost vs value, worth a punt. Be a shame not to have a nutter in squad, we did well with the last one. I'd take him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good work by Peters I suppose but his magic didn't last through the WC. Compared to Balotelli I see Suarez as nearly a model citizen. I can't think off hand of one off the pitch incident he was involved in. I see Balotelli as a 12 year old masquerading as a young adult who might be more interested in social media and notoriety than football. But who knows, he might eventually come around.

Be fair JD....even Jesus couldn't have helped when Woy was in charge......anyway, he went to assist with penalty taking psychology. Unfortunately, Woy ensured we didn't get that far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somtamme Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 All the recent talk of Shanks and Paishley in the media recently, yes they were great managers, but their legacy was never really fulfilled. In the intervening years, came the rise of Utd. Under the reign of Utd managers, they played with width, with the likes of Giggs, Coppel, Ronaldo, Beckham, Nani etc. during the similar time Liverpool had nobody really. Ignoring this facet, ignores the fact that most goals from open play are scored from wide positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somtamme Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 And Fagan/Dalglish did sod all as LFC managers You are very young I'll wager Yeah, basically, the last decent wide player Pool had was Barnes. After Barnes Utd invested in many decent wide players. All Pool did was buy everything bar anything decent. I just hope Liverpool current incumbents baulk this trend. If you look back at great managers, you'll always remember class wide players eg Clough-Robertson, Fergie-Ronaldo/Giggs/Beckham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somtamme Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 No absolutely not, that the top-top managers always played with width. But I'm not just saying wingers in the traditional sense, it's just a style of play lacking from Liverpool in recent decades. If you look at Germany, they unsurprisingly understand this tactic, they are technically more competent than you. They score many goals as a result. It's the same style of play as Bayern. Like I said let's hope the current incumbents with FB's and wide type players ahead like Sterling and Markovic are remembered in same way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilai Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Please just go away you nonsensical idiot Manchester United have set a new record for crosses made in a Premier League game. David Moyes' side enjoyed remarkable domination of the ball during their clash with Fulham, but were still held to a 2-2 draw. However, that was not down to an inability to work the ball wide and put it into the box, as the crossing statistics show. The Reds made 81 crosses against the Cottagers, smashing the previous record of 74 set by Liverpool in 2006. Remarkably, Fulham made just 4 throughout the game as they avoided defeat for only the second time in 51 years at Old Trafford. United enjoyed 75.5% of possession over the 90 minutes, and had 31 shots at goal compared to their opponents' 6. Fulham remain rooted to the bottom of the Premier League.

wilai Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 ^ so LFC havent crossed the ball since the 1980's And, Markovic/Sterling will not be known for their crossing either. Have you ever watched either of them? Sure you are trolling, so well done as no-one could be this thick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
