LFC v Napoli post match thread

[BigChief]

Great result, one man show by Stevie yet again, we'd be ****ed without him. 3 wins on the bounce, bet Roy is creaming himself. Delighted with result but dreading the Chelsea game.

A few managers have creamed themselves over the one-man-show that is Gerrard. Houllier for one and Rafa's CL and FA Cup victories for another.

Ngog and Miereles should never have missed their chances. I'm sorry but Gerrard's hattrick should have been irrelevant tonight.

Napoli should have had the game wrapped up themselves. We were let of the hook.

Come to think of it every single one of Roy's signings for first team have been gash: Poulsen/Cole/Meireles & He who say not be named. Not a good strike rate thus far Roy, no wonder NESV are getting help in to pick players.

Yup Stevie G is a LFC legend, guy is a talisman. Time after time after time he single handily has won us games, its ridiculous

Now that Commolli's here I'm a little less worried. Unless of course Commolli's become a sh*t talent scout too, which would be really unlucky.

I don't particularly remember Stevie being easily the stand out player in 2005. But building a team around a top player is what all teams do. They just need a strong supporting cast.

He'll always have Olympiacos though

Really?

Olympiakos? The final?

Why bring Rafa into this?

Whilst you're at it, Gerrard became a truly world class player under Rafa's tutelage.

Hodgson is getting the results at the moment, fair enough. I don't believe for one moment that we're improving one bit, I still feel we're utterly pathetic - sorry I'll rephrase this, Hodgson's tactics are utterly pathetic.

Time will tell. He's won a bit more time with 3 wins on the trot.

Wonder how long it will take Houllier to ring Stevie and claim the match ball

You're entitled to your opinion - of course.

I wasn't going to bring Rafa into this, but fine, I find it hard to imagine we'd have seen Meireles on the right, left, or off the front man. The guy is a central midfielder.

Nor would Poulsen be anywhere near the club.

Nor would Konchesky.

And I doubt we'd have gone into the game with such an odd system.

But fair do's on Roy saving his hide by bringing Gerrard on at half time.

I am sick to death of seeing Meireles being hopelessly misused. Spends 10 minutes off the striker, then goes out to the right, and finds himself on the left too. If ever there's been a genuinely orthodox, all-round central midfield player, it's Meireles - and yet more often than not he finds himself marooned on the wing.

You are right, but since we are in this ****ty situation we might as well look at the positive when there finally is one

[Mattshark]

Olympiakos? The final?

Luis Garcia, if you want one player that pretty much get us that trophy.

And your petty attack on Rafa is beyond low, it is disgusting.

[BigChief]

Oh, and I'd like to add, for a Lucas-hater I'm open to change my mind if the lad shows results on the pitch. Today was another show of really good, crisp football from him. My penance begins by offering to wash his car(s). The penances will grow as the season goes on.

[DannyMan2006]

Really?

Olympiakos? The final?

Olympiakos - two half time subs score then Gerrard gets a cracker. Final, Gerrard scores but Dudek makes a double wonder save, Hamann changed the game, Carra defends like never before.

He's our best player and as such will always be the stand out man.
