Divers

Gerrard. Embarrasing sometimes.
Kewell. Although he's not been able to for some while due to injury.

He never used to until injuries took their toll. He used to be one that would ride a challenge to play on. Mind you he was full of confidence back then. It seems he gets caught more often now than in the past and unfortunately has at times taken "the easy option" (eg a dive).

EDIT: He did a dive in a game for us in the League cup (?) which i didnt see. That was the first one i can really remember TBH. Not saying he hadnt done it before but i had seen a lot of his games before that both for us and Leeds and it was not part of his make up.

IMO you can put that down to being <100&#37; fit and lacking in confidence.

A mate of mine is an ardent Derby County fan and he despises Kewell to this day because of a dive (and it was a diabolical dive, I remember it) at the Baseball Ground that won Leeds a penalty and robbed Derby.

The worst diver in our squad by a ****ing mile is Momo Sissoko. He even dives in pre-season friendlies ffs.

Like i said i never saw all his games

He didn't come here with a reputation for diving as far as i recall? I have followed his career closely and never felt he was regarded as a diver.

When at his best (many years ago now!) he always stayed on his feet when he could. Personally feel injuries have forced him to find others ways of being effective, if you know what i mean.

Rocket goes down VERY easily and satisfyingly.

no offence mate, but I never ever saw Garcia dive ever. Yes gerrard dives and so does mascherano

Garcia did it from time to time, doesnt take anything away from the hero he was for us.

I really don't recall and I assure you, I've watched every Liverpool match he's ever played in because he was one of my favourite players and I've got a memory like a robot.

I did.

When?

Well you must be a robot like one of those crap 80s toy robots that claimed to be able to deliver an apple to your Dad in the other room. I saw Luis dive too many times.

When?

2005, 2006.

[fred_plasticine]

carra dived 2 times during the last game as well.
seems like all defenders do it these days when they're chased by a striker they simply go down first chance they get cause it'll always win them a free kick. call it gamesmanship if you like but it's diving in my book.

worst dive i've seen in recent memory was from Kromkamp when he was over by the corner flag and swan dived

as for our team at the moment

Torres, Gerrard, Arbeloa all go easily but i'm not so sure any are blatant divers, Gerrard maybe but only on the odd occassion.

Wasn't that on his debut? Portsmouth away in a Cup tie? Funny as **** anyway.

Stevie dives a bit - but of course as it's him it becomes big news
