Stoke City vs Liverpool FC post match thread

[peekay]

Carra was obviously instrumental in that team and in that entire European campaign.

"I don't really see why such a poor footballer is regarded as a such a legend"

670 odd games for the club, arguably the best defender in Europe for several seasons, and you don't get why he's a club legend? I fully agree that his time is running out fast, and his deficiencies as a player have become more obvious as he's hit the wrong side of 30, but there is no need at all to diminish the role he has played for us over the last decade +

I see no reason for denigrating his achievements of the past.

Carra has made two mistakes in the past two games which have lead to goals. However, I think he has earned the right to play himself back to form.

Having said that I think this is the first time he is playing in side with more emphasis on attack than defense. Under Rafa he was the lynchpin of a great defensive unit. But he also had a lot of protection. We did go gung ho in a number of games in the second half of 2009 but we also did concede a lot more then.

Under Kenny we swarm forward with a lot more emphasis on attack than defense. We are trying to impose our passing game on others, which in my opinion is the right way to go about if we want to win the PL. I have a feeling such a system along with age will expose Carra a lot more. We may need to buy a pace ball playing CB soon.

In fairness, i think you're actually wrong factually - Clattenburg was taken off the refereeing lists for some questionable irregularities in his finances.

You are right, he was only suspended for one match after the Everton-LFC game. He got an eight-month suspension following investigation into his personal life and business debt. Still a ****ing bent cunt.

Looking at the hightlights, what was Henderson even TRYING with his one-on-one? A fecking backpass? It was crappy tame effort straight at the ****ing goalkeeper.

Kenny's hurting. Only a couple of games into a new season and the gloves are off.

Seems a tad early to really form any sort of opinion really, not enough games to prove a pattern, but Kenny has gone early with this, a pre-emptive strike maybe, just to put the refs on alert that he's watching them.

[Craig_H]

Refs are out to get us!

Nobody said that.

Furious Dalglish claims Liverpool are being victimised

No he doesnt.

By Mark Ryan

Is a ****.

Kenny Dalglish rocked football by claiming that referees have been victimising Liverpool in their decisions this season.

He didnt claim that.

[Vermilion]

Nobody said that.

No he doesnt.

Is a ****.




He didnt claim that.

He's making a pretty clear point though...as to how he feels about the refereeing so far.

'If we keep playing like that, we'll be OK, but if we keep getting battered by things outside our control and jurisdiction that's different,' he said after yesterday's defeat.

'Our first four games have had contentious decisions and every one this season has gone against us.

'It's important to respect referees but it's more important that referees respect my football club, the owners' football club, Liverpool football club.'

Perhaps the dopey journo should've used the word 'implied' rather than 'claimed'.

Some of the stuff in that joke article, are FACTUALLY incorrect. Great 'journalism'

They'll always look to sensationalise what people say.

Of course he is, why shouldn't he?
