Surely we can't lose a 3-1 lead? Don't tempt fate Melan. Can't see or hear the game but sounds like Dyer and Marty is working.

CM or just behind the striker. Depends whether it home or away.

I took Arteta out as well. :wullie: Seems like there's nothing wrong with him after all. bluesleep.gif

Woeful disjointed performance, there seems little idea of where each other is meant to be. I think you have to play Dyer in the middle. Butt has a lot more awareness and composure than Parker and I never thought I'd say that. On the plus side Oba knows where the goal is and for all his other failings, this is his main job and as long as he keeps scoring the rest doesn't really matter. Taylor awesome again. Mom for me Taylor Our worst player Baba only just from Sibi who for all his effort had a very average game. I would have preferred starting with Dyer just behind Oba and instead of Sibi. With Dyer and Emre rotating. Too many big kicks down the middle from Chez where 70% of the time it means immediate lost posession. Nice 3 points.

Have to agree Martins was pretty average....The ball always seems to bobble around under him..Where are his feet ffs!!

We also do seem to buy players with questionable injury/fitness/motivational records.

If I may ask what do people think Roeder's strength's are?

Agreed.

"Cruijff: "Actually I never make a mistake, because it takes a huge effort for me to make a mistake." Dutchy sig. Love that.

Of course it is racist. People trying to argue otherwise are suspect.

He has lost his way this season, whether it be the Argie thing or teams giving them proper attention after last year. The board had to act and have made a strong descsion and they will get a v good manager imo if they get Curbs. Lot of the players there started had started beleiving their own hype.

Partly agree with Thompers. Also it has to do with Emre playing better with Butt.

It can work. Owen off the shoulder and Martins roaming the space in the hole, breaking at pace.

If they don't make the CL this year, then Benny will be out on his ear.

Chelsea or Lyon this time for me.....Bayern with an outside.

"Club spokesperson Lesley Callaghan said yesterday: “It is obviously disappointing and we will be handling this matter internally.” bluelaugh.gif

We still need to sack Roeder I'm afraid, Reading are hardly a wonder team and they nearly beat us...His sickening nasal whine and mickey mouse match analysis...Clueless.

There is nothing I like about Roeder and really don't give a shit about what muppet McClaren thinks of anything. These players need to get on the pitch and win games. That is all that matters the rest is window dressing.

Take the £1m and get rid of him. He isn't good enough.

Running a company is about making big decisions, not about ohhing and ahhing. If it was me he would be fired straight after the game if we lose. Correction I would fire him in front of the players and no messing. blueyes.gif bluebiggrin.gif

"Why do you really think he's been away?? poorly leg? or something about libelous claims" bluebigeek.gif bluebigeek.gif bluebigeek.gif Scandalous accusation. Can you back it up with anything more than heresay? KD lawyers are poised by the phone.

Of course they'd be registered for their country, you think the World Cup is gonna go ahead without the best players in the world. This Euro league will happen, the only fig leaf I can offer you is that it might be some way off.

"so how do they ensure automatic qualification into a competition they are barred from I think you need to go and review some press releases from the FA and UEFA" Vicky I don't think you understand Euro employment law, there are no sanctions Fifa ( as per your original assertion) or the FA can take against individual players who are 'working' for their club whatever the league is they are playing in. There cannot be sanctions against players maybe clubs, but as the clubs involved using collective bargaining are more powerful than Uefa, Uefa will stand aside (as they did before when they introduced the group stage, (in the CL and Uefa format - bowing to pressure from elite clubs who wanted more games and less chance of freak results). I read that the clubs are asking for €847million Euro collectively out of the world cup pot as compensation and insurance for lending out their prize assets, I don't think they have any fears of Uefa or Fifa for that matter do you? The elite clubs want to design a competition (probably ulitmately it will be a league) where they are pretty much guaranteed yearly participation with a small amount of space for promotion and relegation from national leagues to keep the essence but not the spirit of competition. The FA...don't make me laugh! They are but pawns in all this.

Rafa, I think even you are understimating Liverpools footprint as a global brand. The Makhtoums are very status conscious and they will make sure Liverpool have all that is needed to be at the very very top.

I'm totally against it as well, but it is more than a threat cause it is commercially viable. I think sooner or later it will happen, Fifa can't ban any international players cause they play in a different or new league under Euro law ( They have freedom to ply thier trade as they see fit). So your talking oot your arse as usual Victor.
