Quotes from Rafa:

From the offal...

"We are working hard trying to bring good players in and I think we can progress in a few days or maybe a few weeks."

From Soccernet.....

he said: 'We are still working hard to bring in two more players.
'I would hope that there would be some progress next week or very soon.'

At the very least we are going for players pural and soon.

[Shanks]

Patcheo had a good game.

****,

not another new signing.

I thought we had Daniel Pacheco up front today.

Where's this lad from?

[El Jefecito]

Pacheco did OK when he got the ball, although I never, ever, thought i'd see a 5' 5", 10st guy leading the line for liverpool.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Pacheco looked relaxed and clever on the ball, hope he impresses this year in the cup games.

I wasn't really impressed with Insúa today but I've liked what I've seen on other occasions but he just didn't turn up for me today.

Lucas looks to be a much better player than Plessis who reminds me a lot of Sissoko.

Is this a deliberate p*sstake or have you still not gotten over Michael Owen's betrayal to Real Madrid?

I see our new keeper wasn't a Boy Scout in his youth.

He embarrassingly delayed the restart because he was not ready for action, with Agger having to tie the Brazilian's bootlaces for him on the pitch.

We'll have to get him verco boots! If he can put his gloves on then he'll be able to do his boots.

Any anbody remember the runners with the discs instead of laces. Puma Discs, awful for football!

Yep, remember them, never had a pair, but i certainly looked at them, turn the disc to tighten, there are some crazy designs for trainers, i look at some and think...NO!!!!!!!! Who designed that, then sure enough i'll see some? wearing a pair having paid £100plus.

As i remember those Puma discs were'nt too bad looking, radical system, but not over the top design.

[Vermilion]

Oh dear Oh dear, i'm mistaken. Bloody hell my memory is poor.

[billy_mac]

Never had a pair either. Wasn't privy to discs, lights, air or pumps in any of my runners. A big tongue on the runners was the fanciest I ever got.

They're shocking. I don't rememeber colour designs like them! Wish I had kept my bermuda shorts, they match them runners.

[Shaggy]

Thought Degen looked very quick but crap with the ball. Early days like.

Heard he had pace, but i was quite shocked to see how quick he was, as you say poor delivery, but could be down to a bit of first day nerves, to eager to impress.

But he was damn quick.

[Mattshark]

Very quick since he hasn't played pretty much at all since Christmas, which would explain his touch and delivery.
