Twenty-ninth time is a charm. :righton:

Raul's coming on... say 'bye-bye' Barca.

 

Lol, dufus.

 

Hopefully a comfortable win. We should look to increase our GD as 4th spot may eventually come down to that.

Johnson Greek Agger Insua

^^

i like you formation.

actually fulham has been showing a decently this season. liverpool should concentrate and look for scoring early and to rip them.

 

The Reds XI in full is: Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Kyrgiakos, Agger, Mascherano, Aquilani, Babel, Maxi, Gerrard, Ngog. Subs: Cavalieri, Kuyt, Benayoun, Lucas, Degen, Pacheco, Ayala.

Torres out, injured

 

I can't watch this shyte anymore, not this season. Sayonara Benitez! If you stay and they actually give you the money to spend, the world has really gone mad.

 

You actually didn't play badly. Fulham only came for the 0-0 but with no Torres, you're never gonna score. So clear. Even a Crouch or Pavlyuchenko would have been handy for you guys.

 

Not a bad performance by any means.

Positives- nice cameo by Pacheco, Johnson, Aqua and Agger all worthy of MOTM awards, any hope for a 4th spot finish is over, won't have to hand the title to Utd by beating Chelski, season is nearly over :happy:.

Negatives- well, no CL footy next season, lack of attacking patterns which raises questions about Rafa's attacking coaching abilities and finally Europa league football next season .

Next season can't be as bad as this, can it?

 

We played well but we're just toothless without Torres, we really need to invest in a good back up for Torres next season, lets face it Torres is never going to complete a full season and he's got the world cup this summer so wouldn't be surprised if he's burnt out again at the start of next season.

Aquilani was impressive again, hope he gets a run in the team now, same with Pacheco, it can't hurt can it?

Next season can't be as bad as this, can it?

If Rafa is still here, which he most probably will be, can you really see it getting any better?

 

any gossip on Torres btw?

to see a specialist tomorrow but any doom mongers fearing that he''ll be out for the season?

 

It shouldn't be too serious. Think he had a problem with it right from the beginning of the Benfica game and he still played most of the game, scoring two goals in the process.

 

Just hope he isn't rested for the game against West Ham. I'll go nuts if it is so (fantasy football lol)

 

lol, of course there is another reason.

anyway, the possessed the whole game. only 1 goal was enough to gain 3 pts. i think it was a good chance for ngog who didn`t invest this match.

 

Rafa finished 5th with Valencia and then won the title the next season.

Not saying that's gonna happen to us, but i'm willing to give Rafa one more season, especially if the yanks are still here, to show us that this season is a one off.

I'm not for adding some on the pitch instability to our off the pitch problems.

 

Shit game, we were toothless. Aqua player really well, but we just lacked any sort of penetration without Torres. I agree with Wally, we really could use Pavlyuchenko or Crouch back. 4th place is gone for sure, 5th looks distant now, and if we aren't careful, we could slip to 7th and miss out on Europe altogether if we don't win the Europa League (because Pompey will qualify through the FA Cup)... :depressed:

 

No doubt is our only hope upfront while the rest come with some help.. and when he`s absent from any game, we look for emergency.. :doh:
