"I think, even though we lost the tie, the football club and players showed they are part of probably the world's greatest football family, here at Liverpool, with atmosphere and what the players put into the game."

 

:puke:

Don't forget the £25m spent by Rodgers on Borini and Joe Allen.

 

 

Cracks me up when you consider who we signed over Jan for less than that :)

Just absurb over the top spin and jargon and nonsense and psuedo philosophy. I guess the American owners love that stuff.

Thought Liverpool were fantastic tonight. They attacked with purpose and speed and caused untold problems. I still detest everything about them, but they're capable of a higher level of football than us for sure.

 

Capable in what sense?

 

We have significantly better players than they do imo. If we aren't "capable", that's because of our manager.

I don't really know in what sense. In the sense that I've seen them produce it recently, and not us.

 

We have quality, but I'm not sure we have the same ability to move the ball around quickly and pass and move, and we don't have a player as dangerous as Suarez to provide the cutting edge. As I said in the original post, it might have been partly because they desperately needed goals.

 

Some of it might be to do with the manager, you're right.

For all their so called purpose, speed and supposedly causing untold problems they didn't really cause Zenit any problems outside of set pieces.

 

2 of their goals came from free kicks and they looked most dangerous from corners and free kicks.

 

Philosophy :lol:

The manager is also part of the team, don´t know what you are trying to say?

They can be exciting in attack but multiple times Zenit should have taken advantage and scored a few on break, there was at least one point where it was 2 on 2 and Danny was running into acres of space between Liverpool's CBs and Hulk completely overcooked the pass.

 

I think it's hard to judge the quality of a team when they're throwing everything forward, they had lots of men forward so looked very good attacking wise, but it was potential defensive suicide and certainly not how they'd usually play.

 

Liverpool have looked good at times, but think the personnel will always let them down a bit. Rodgers is embarassing in his quotes etc but I don't think he's too bad a manager. Suarez is detestable but also extremely good and he can make their attack very cutting when he's at his best.

I wasn't engaging in unconditional praise of Liverpool and their philosophy BTW, I was just saying I was impressed with their tempo and style against Zenit.

 

I'm aware of that, i'm just laughing at Rodgers in general the idea of this passing football killing teams when in fact it was set pieces which what meant Liverpool got close to making a come back.

 

You couldn't make it up.

Imagine if Suarez had kept missing them like he did last season.

This is a bit Spurs-centric but RAWK was a great read last night. One post caught my eye:

 

Can't wait to see Spurs drop when he leaves.

 

He's in red hot form, but for me he's only just ahead of Cazorla or Mata for me this season. And Stevie. RVP and Suarez are still the stand out players. Its sad that a few screamers and little else makes you world class in this day and age.

 

Oh and a one man team is when you're consistently outplayed by pretty weak sides, and then win through one man scoring worldies out of nowhere. Aka, Spurs. Suarez and RVP are the focal point of two teams who play good football and create a lot of chances for them. There's a world of difference.

 

It's the little "And Stevie" that I particularly like. There's an element of truth there, but it's smothered in guff ("consistently outplayed"? Hmmm). This is a response from one guy:

 

There's a Bale-specific thread on RAWK. The bitterness towards us in general is so arousing. Couple of posts take the whole one man team spiel to new levels.

 

It's quite simple. We are a visceral and daily reminder of how they have squandered their position of established CL participation. No real excuses to deflect their own self loathing. No oil money. No "it's soooooooo unfair". Just an in-their-face middle finger that punctuates and highlights their own failures.

 

I'd feel sorry for them but the first 20+ yrs of my life as a Spurs fan was spent being mocked repeatedly for the sorry ass state of THFC and how badly the club was failing. Even during the yrs they counted Phil Babb among their numbers.

 

Don't hate me for it. I'm a product of my environment. So, fuck them. Right in their Scouse faces.

 

That about covers it for me.

A lot of folks looking forward to Bale leaving Spurs need to remember they will likely be getting at least £50 million for him.

 

In my opinion, they wil likely use some of that to build an even better overall team next year.
