A thread about Riise.

[AFII]

Insua are better than Riise but I'm happy that Rafa don't play our young players to early. To many players has got injury problems later in the career doing that.

Finnan/Arbeloa as our right backs next season.

Aurelio/Insua as our left backs.

Says the guy who is always campaigning to bring Hammill into the first-team set-up.

He has scored some cracking goals, but the simple fact is he is not good enough. He can't cross to save himself, and he shoots to often.

I dont even need to get into his defensive abilities (or lack of).

I like Riise.
he is nowhere near as bad as most of you are making out.

Can't cross eh?
25 May 2005.
3-0 down in Champs League final.
Riise crosses - inch perfect - Gerrard scores.

If his defending was so so bad, we would have conceded more goals than we have in the last 18 months - he has been an almost ever present member of the best defense around.
Prior to that Traore played a few games at left back ---- and we leaked goals!

Hopefully Rafa will sell this useless piece of **** as soon as possible.

unbaleevable no

Riise urges smokers to quit

John Arne Riise has added his voice to a campaign aimed at stopping young people from smoking.
The Liverpool defender went on a tour of the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation in the city yesterday and spoke of his determination to persuade people to give up smoking.

"Smoking is a serious problem and young people often think it is cool to smoke. As a professional footballer, it's important to lead a healthy lifestyle," said Riise, whose own father died from lung cancer.

"When I was growing up, some of my friends smoked but they respected my career and I never felt any pressure from them.

"If there are any young smokers out there and would like help and advice, I would urge them to contact ATYC (Anti Tobacco Youth Campaign)."

Riise's visit was part of the Premier League's Places for Players programme, which engages communities across the UK via football clubs and their players.

JAR should just be a winger from now on, and not first choice mind but as cover.

He's also scored more than Pennant, Masher and Sissoko.
Shall we drop them also?

:whatever:

[tomasjj]

I reckon you are focusing on the goals, cause that is all that Riise brings to the table.
And about 1 in every 50 shot I would say....
