great keepers put themselves in the right positions ergo he wasnt lucky

I'm not questioning his ability. I know as well as any Red how good he is but he got lucky, that's all I'm saying.

[Shaggy]

He didn't get lucky though, that's the point. There was nothing lucky about him looming in front of the Lille lad's face like a big intimidating truck about to flatten him. Fantastic goalkeeping.

My last words on the matter are " IT HIT HIM ON THE HEAD "

Of course it's true...but i'm sure the people posting know that....it's not anyones place to constantly remind them of facts that they are aware of, ffs, someone always sees it as their job to bring any nice feeling about a good win to an end.

Good win, well played, well managed, well done.

****ing hell mate, grow a pair and stop crying

Someone asked what the difference has been and i replied that a lot of it is to do with home games, where we've been very strong, against opposition who cant cope with us when we go out to attack.

Stop being such a woman about it

And all his golden boot rivals take penalties, i dont think Nando has taken a single once since he's been here.

He actually has a 0% penalty success rate. he took 1 for us in a pre-season game against Portsmouth in the far east, and missed.

Can't think of any others he has taken...

When Schmeichel did it was great goalkeeping when Pepe does it it's luck

Torres...

simply:

incredible result, we're lucky to have him, please owners DO NOT **** this up

[SimonNo7]

Well hopefully some idiots will stop trying to blame our poor season on Lucas and Kuyt. Better result than on Monday and both of them were playing, its hectic that some fans accused them instead of appreciating the fact that Torres, Gerrard, Babel and Johnston either returning from injury/ fitness/ form.

I don't think people are exactly blaming them two, I think it's more of a case of not thinking they are good enough for LFC and the managers tactics of playing 2 holding DMs and a striker as RM/RW.

What we saw last night was a change in tactics in that Rafa decided to go with just one true holding DM, Mascha which he is the absolute master and allowing Lucas to play a more fluid position which he absolutely revelled in and seemed happier in. Well played Lucas, you have improved greatly this season and let's hope Rafa stops using you as a holding DM unless Mascha isn't available.

As for Kuyt he didn't do a great deal wrong but I would still suggest he is not good enough for LFC as a RM/RW. Back-up striker with a knack for being in the right place at the right time I could accept.

Amazing how our 2 best performances come so late in the season

Do you mean a bit like how in a lot of games we have only seemed to start playing when we go behind?

[Woobus]

Lol just check some of the threads since the Portsmouth thread, a right few numpties were blaming both of them for our performances over the season.

[Bender]

no more how we start well and finish the game off ......when we go behind then start playing well that is annoying....wrong mindset from the players

[certifiable]

I agree Shaggy about him coming out and making himself big BUT as I said, he didn't know too much about it though did he. Pepe makes plenty of great saves for us but even the great man wouldn't claim that.

He got lucky but put himself in the right position IMO.

That line could define Schmeichel's career, was uncanny how many he saved by simply doing this, and then ball careering of his head or other body part, often unknowingly.
He's the best keeper in the Prem since Schmeichel, only one to have come close and he's still young. We are absolutely BLESSED to have him!!

I totally agree. I was by no means putting Pepe down when I said he knew nothing about the save.

I would have said the same about Scheichel in the same situation. He got lucky but put himself in a great position to get lucky.
