Espanyol v Liverpool FC - Match & Post-match

[Craig_H]

Promising move down the right, but the cross is mis hit and just flops behind.

[JohnDoe]

Nonsense, Alonso is a very good player but we have seen plenty of times that we do not rely on him to play well.

Like when?

No wait, don't tell me. Mancs and Inter away.

can i have a summary of the game so far?

We played pretty badly until they scored. Then we played badly. Then they scored again. We're playing out the last ten minutes pretty badly.

Kelly on Carra off.

Is Xabi the only player not to have had a game?

[Craig_H]

Carra off, Martin Kelly on. 8 mins left, still no Alonso.

[kingfunk]

Alonso coming on!

[Craig_H]

Xabi's coming on!!!

[Rafael Benítez Maudes]

thanks vonk .

john doe i guess your right.

[JohnDoe]

Alonso on!!!

Given 7 minutes, which suits Fredo's fitness regime pretty well. He might play a full half by November.

[Tatterdemalion]

nope, Xabi on for ....reina........no Spearing

[Rafael Benítez Maudes]

someone injure alonso

take him out for a month

[Craig_H]

I cant believe it's taken 83 mins for Sammy Lee to get through to Madrid and get permission for Xabi to come on

[vonk]

Alonso is on. Don't get it. Either play him from the start or not at all.

Anyone sort of hoping he picks up a knock or is that just wrong....

[Craig_H]

Alonso on!!!

Given 7 minutes, which suits Fredo's fitness regime pretty well. He might play a full half by November.

[Craig_H]

Surely that went over the line??!!

[JohnDoe]

0-3
