Do you thinks under Rafa's instructions he's doing that, it really annoys me when a striker is every on the pitch except in the box when the ball comes in (heskey stylie!)

he might he doing this under Rafa's instructions in order to bring a defender out of position and therefore leaving a midfield runner to go into the gap

Lauren replacing Cranie at RB, Benjani and Nugent both off with Utaka and LuaLua replacing them.

Good to hear both Pennant and Kewell playing well. Particularly Pennant, he raised his game in the last part of last season and seems to have prepared himself well for this season.

McAteer saying Babel is playing intelligently, dragging players around.

Was thinking the same myself.

Momo bursts forward but delays his shot, goes down in the box but no penalty given. We need to start shouting SHOOOOOOOT at momo when he's playing at Anfield.

[The incredible igor]

what happened? Momo was through?

Good 1st half by the REDS, totally dominated. Kuyt could have had 4 goals on his own. The first 2 were vollyes that went over(tough to master) and two saves from James of which was CLASS. Kuyt with a powerful downward header that James saved on the line.
Credit to REINA as well who had nothing to do the whole half but when O'Neil was through 1on1 Reina saved with his leg brilliantly
Kewell & Pennant are playing very well. Alonso& Momo bossing the mid. Babel looks lively. Carra & Agger did not give Nugent & Benjani a sniff.REDS will win this in the 2nd half hands down.

That's how important Carra is to us - his mere presence in the stadium is nulifying the Portsmouth attack

Any changes to our line up?

[bigfooty]

No changes yet but Torres is likely to come on soon as he was doing an "extensive" warm-up at half-time.

Saw the 1st half on an extended pub lunch from work and was quietly impressed with Babel. Not amazing or anything but he obviously has bags of potential.

[bigfooty]

Harry getting a little angry about some of the challenges being put it on him.

[bigfooty]

Torres coming on.

[Tee]

Torres coming on.

[DeeGame]

Torres coming on.
