Who's that fat **** in the studio?

He's worse than the commentators FFS......saying Joe Cole wanted to go to Tottenham but we simply blew them away in terms of wages. What a ****, also saying the American owners are investing a lot in the team as they want to be successful this year, WTF!?!?? He obviously just reads the rag and Daily Heil and regurgitates it as fact.....god i hate football journalism/punditry.

My impressions:

Shelvey is going to be special. He has that demeanor only top top players have. He seems very mature in his play, and not because he looks like he's 40 years old.

Ayala has never impressed me when I saw him. Don't know what the fuss is about. ****s himself every time the ball goes near him. Way way too slow and clumsy, and I'm not just judging it on that mistake. He's just not going to be a Premier League defender. I can see him eventually making it back in Spain.

Dalla Valle never got the freaking ball to have a chance to impress. But he's a good player, you just couldn't see it this half.

Insua may have reminded some people why he needs to be sold. Don't understand the people who are so happy his deal fell through.

Ince and Eccleston, haven't seen the potential in them, especially Eccleston. I don't see it in him. Ince, maybe.

Joe Cole is way better than I thought he could be. He looks surprisingly sharp on the ball. Looks a very hungry player which I like.

plus i think we're showing signs that we want to play football, we're forming triangles in midfield, players who make runs actually get the ball played to them..we just need the senior players who have more quality and experience to play like this instead of the kids, and i think we'll be fine for next season.

I am liking the little triangles too. Cole is good at opening up little angles for passes and I am really liking the Cole Gerrard link ups, I think they might just make a very good combination between each other.

Yes. It wasn't a good half of football, but I've seen the intent within the system and I like it. Joe Cole is almost playing like a striker, he's given the freedom to do what he wants to do and that's a big difference from the Gerrard role or the Kuyt role in Rafa's 4-2-3-1.

Good to see Wilson is in!! And it looks like Jova is going to take the wide spot with Eccleston up top?

[Hustler]

Wilson and jova on

[Hustler]

Cole actually looks fit and lively

[danperkins]

Excellent subs IMO, hope to see Suso and Aurelio for few mins too

[Fernandinho]

Gerrard and cole linking up nicely again, Cole gets a shot off that goes wide..

[Fernandinho]

This bloody commentator from Setanta can't string two sentences together...

[Fosterbloke]

I'm liking the look of Shelvey. Our defence looks gash.

[Hustler]

Liverpool getting more room in midfield Since Bradley went off for m'gladbach

[Mattshark]

They are terrible aren't they.

[Hustler]

Nice from Wilson

I could imagine Roy being concerned about the lack of team shape, he puts a huge empahsis on it but I can't see it today.
