^^Well he did win 2 or 3 games for them already this season with moments of brilliance so they cant complain too much.

Ivan Klasnic scored 2 goals today against Bayern Leverkusen. What a comeback to Bundesliga.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Get out Benitez you fucking cunt. I cant believe we have lost to that crowd at Anfield again. Sack him at once. league is over for us now.

Talk about an over reaction lol

 

[PaulyPac]

There are plenty of games left in the season yet for things to change

 

[Bobby Sands]

Nah man, you cant expect to win the league if you dont beat Arsenal or Man Utd at home, especially in the premiership. I dont think Benitez is right for Liverpool so it is time for a change.

 

[PaulyPac]

Games between the so called top four are always going to be tight

Man UTD lost home and away to Arsenal last season but still won the league... There's plenty of time yet, teams will drop points, the table will change.

Can't really point a finger on anyone today, Liverpool dominated possesion had more shots on goal but couldn't finish and were caught out again by a fortunate goal imo

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

But did Liverpool really trouble VDS? VDS had to put himself in trouble :laugh:

Anderson :thumb:

 

[PaulyPac]

Neither teams really troubled each other

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

That is true, but it wasnt like Man Utd were hanging on at any time of the game. Liverpool didnt do enough with all their possesion and Anderson battled well against Gerrard and Mashcarno.

Arsenal beat Chelsea..meh..wanted a draw.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Mascherano is a very mediocre player imo. I cant understand the hype around him and the American's are right not to let Benitez throw away 17 or 18 million on him.

Liverpool lost to Reading last weekend as well, so no they wont challenge this season.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

I think Mascherano is a good player, he isnt gonna get you a goal so 17 million is alot for him, but he battles well in midfield and wins the ball back alot.

Now, i dont understand why Rafa doesnt play Babel?

 

[Illuminattile]

United played very well once they got the goal. They did what they failed to do against Arsenal, and what Liverpool failed to do at home to Chelsea and Arsenal. Rio, Vidic, Hargreaves and Anderson all played immensely, keeping the Liverpool attack at bay. It was only when Babel came on that Liverpool looked like they might be able to break us down, Kuyt and Kewell were poor, Torres didn't make an impact, and Gerrard was frustrated by the boy wonder Anderson.

The goal might have been fortunate, but even if it hadn't come when it did I think we would have won. We had the best chance of the second half through Rooney, despite trying to defend a lead.

 

[Illuminattile]

Manchester United have agreed a deal for Manucho Goncalves, an Angolan striker. He'll join in January, but he'll probably have to go on loan to Portugal to get a work permit. He'll also be playing in the African Cup of Nations.

 

[Flipmo]

Bentner is a fucking kangaroo. LOL

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Inter beat AC 2-1.

VALENCIA SCORED SOME GOALS lol. Still shocking how Koemen decided to sack Angulo/Canizares/Albelda with possibly Vicente/M.Fernandes/Arzimendi/Zigic to be next.

 

[Flipmo]

I guess he won't be sacking Zigic anymore, since the man score 3 goals in the last 2 Valencia matches.

That tall freakish Serbian bastard won me money, God Bless that ape.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Its about time that AC Milan gave Dida the boot.

 

[Flipmo]

I was going to come in and post that. Looks like you beat me to it.

Dida is horrific...
