owen foooked oh well

Aye he just is not a left midfielder. I know he just crossed there for the goal but he does not do enough out there. right midfield or centre would be best for him

milner is crap on left like noticed it for us but he always has to check back because he can't go past people. He takes it on the turns and plays it back and puts defender under pressure. Makes me wonder why pearce and sam persist in playing him on the left

by the time he spent that other ten million I think he had recouped enough to spend that much. I just dont think he was given the amount of money he needed for the job thats all and its quite clear to see he had to wheel and deal to get players rather than splash the cash

I think sam has a blueprint set for this club and this is very much phase one. Yes he should be able to play 4-42 but he has a vision of what formation he wants us to play and has to transform that and as such this may be why we are seeing players out of position in this "transitional period" for the team

Top 6 side twice from a team that were in bottom half of division one and were awful on little money he got them up there but could not get them any further he felt due to lack of finances or whatever. I dont think people quite understand what a massive achievement getting bolton beating the big boys really was and he was behind that

Oh right. Who was the other ten spent on again ?? my break down is this In smith 6 barton 5.8 beye 2 roz 2.9 faye 2 enrique 6 Out Parker 7 Dyer 8 Now to me that looks like sam had about 10 - 15 million and he had to wait for at least parker to be sold.

More rounded? micky quinn is available

They spent 8 mill on elano didn't they ? I think sam was told he had so much this summer so he got every player he went for in his price bracket perhaps. Its quite clear that sam had to sell to buy ffs he could only buy smith once dyer went same with barton after parker went. That does not strike me as someone who had 50mill to spend like

sven was given 50million, sam was given 10 million. Simple really

Also I think alot of people wanted oneill as manager or would take mourinho and 4-3-3 is there preferred formation as it also is for redknapp. Even errikson only plays with 1 up front albeit with elano in a sort of free role behind. But its expected of ireland and petrov to get up to support the front man and to get behind the defence. They have hamman playing a defensive midfield role with fernandes or johnson just infront and elano just in front again. Its a modified 4-5-1 that they really play and at times goes to a 4-3-3

The most important thing to remember is the last 4 years since bobby left have been horrible. And the progress he made has been completely undone by clueless and the rodent. When sam came in he had a squad that was unbalanced, players with zero confidence, a horrific injury list amongst other things. He has had to deal with a lot so far and we were never going to go from that bad last season to a world class club on what little money sam appears to have been given. What he has done is to make the club more professional, cleaned up most of the injuries, made zog want to play football again, introduced new training methods and appears to manage his players very well. What I hope he will do now is start to form a solid consistent team who whilst not playing pretty football do not look like they will be wiped away by decent teams. Like it or not it will take 3 or 4 years for the damage them two idiots created to be turned around

Kenwyn jones gives defences a hell of a time and opens up space for other players. But and its a big but he can't shoot at all. I really cant stand crouch like and hope we don't sign him. I still think that zigic would be a good signing if any. But one thing is for sure we need a big imposing striker who gives teams hell in the air and on the ground.

It has to be said that man u at times line up like this also. They had rooney and ronaldo off saha at times and also off tevez. but the way they play is more to feet and try to play their way up the pitch. If only we had them three we would be laughing. imho Rooney and ronaldo are two of the best at playing in a 4-3-3 although ferguson has switched to playing 4-4-2 again at times it does look like a 4-3-3 with ronaldo tucking in and rooney dropping off slightly with giggs tucking in the centre and it works very well. However they appear to have players very comfortable in and out of possesion. We don't seem to have that. Arsenal also play with one up front at times but they are well ........ a completely different matter entirely

Yeah but why turn up and just moan through the whole match its ridiculous and just adds to the tension. yes we have not had a team to be excited about but at least we have not had what leeds fans have had.

In the last few years the atmosphere has died a great deal. All I hear is moaning from first whistle to last with sporadic singing in the middle from the die hards. There are to many ponces going to games these days and just go come on entertain me and dont show the support. I used to love the old corner it was quality everyone singing. And when keegan was here the atmosphere was electric but more boring bastards have been allowed in and its just bombed. If you go to the match sing a song, support your club and don't moan every foooking minute. I heard people moaning their tits off when we were 3-1 up against spurs. Unbelievable

I haven't been this season but last season I did go to a few. Im judging really off this game and think them two looked like they could eventually given their ages

not really maybe godsmark and lua lua

He should be the best player on that pitch at 25 and supposedly a first team star

ameobi is the worst player on the pitch. Has the worst first touch in the world

I think it will end up being barton or martins. But at the moment I think the most important is Cacapa

Martins is such a frustrating player because he creates so many chances for himself and scores blinding goals but can't finish when he has time to think. Is the same type of player as bellamy. Opposition players are scared shitless of him running at them and I love watching him play just wish there was more productivity because he could be top scorer in the league if he finished the simple ones. And my fantasy football team would be top also.

Berbatov is absolute quality. A player that I lopve to see play. my dad is a miserable sod who finds faults with most players but he loves watching berbatov play

The match is on LFC for anyone that has got setanta on thursday. Its an away game and should be a chance to see the youngsters for anyone who does not go to home matches.

It felt wrong listening to her commentate tbh not my type of thing
