Not the most technically accomplished forward b*t has other q*alities which wo*ld be handy in this leag*e. Wont mind him at all....

The football is getting worse and worse. Last season was poor but at least we could pass the **** ball.

Benitez will be ace. He's won more than MoN , Coyle and Moyes combined.

Managers like Moyes and Coyle will take us back to the 'British' way of doing things , undoing the foundations that have been laid for the future in terms of a passing and possession based team.

If GH decides to hang up his boots, i'd like a foreign manager who believes in continental style football and takes the progress we've made to another level.

A couple of ball playing defenders in the summer and we are set.

That was a proper footballing performance , swift incisive passing , dominating the ball and pressing off it. That's how we will play when Houllier's 'makeover' of this team is complete.

Passing has been sublime hasn't it? This is the kind of stuff that takes time to inculcate into the players.

Who has a bigger nose - Kalinic or Albrighton?

Albrighton by some distance. I have a bigger nose than Kalinic

Its Ivanhoe tym boys.. Sit back and enjoy

I have a feeling we'll concede another before the end of the game.

FCUKING AWESOME>

As expected....

We look like Bayern **** Munich in our approach play

Bradley and a new DM as options then!

We need to **** off the likes of Ireland from the team and slowly phase out Petrov who is on his last legs. Bannan has a big part to play in our evolution to a passing , technical style of play.

All the bollocks about being too small phsyically to make it in this league , I present to you Cesc Fabregas and Jack Wilshere. Technique is what its all about .

Next season

NRC and Bradley - Options for DM

Bannan , Makoun , Bradley - Options for CM.

--------------Bradley---------------

------Makoun----------Bannan-----

Playing bannan in AM will be a waste as he will receive a lot more attention from opposition defenders and won't have time and space on the ball.

Play him deeper where he can het on the ball under less pressure and use his expansive range of passing to great effect.

Not really convinced by Petrov starting ahead of NRC. Makoun and NRC would have been better imo , more solid defensively.

Chris Foy is going to be the Mancs biggest threat. He is not Howard Webb but he is a good substitute. Don't be surprised to see a penalty denied , a red card not given or something like that happening to decide the match. It ALWAYS happens.

If the ref does not go out of his way to please his paymasters , we have a decent chance. We outplayed them at VP for 80 odd minutes before running out of steam.

This is what you get for doing business on the last day of the transfer window.

Ashley Young for 70 Million then. Its a DEAL.

Thats the 8th highest transfer fee paid for any player in any league btw , up with the likes of Zidane , Figo and Ronaldo. Makes it even more ridiculous. I would be surprised if he scores as many as Torres did for them. Torres in his first season was literally unplayable.

Also, interestingly, apparently Suarez hasn't officially signed for Liverpool yet, despite agreeing all terms and so on. Perhaps he has the same agent as Houllier.

He apparently wanted to pair up with Torres. Second thoughts perhaps?

Utter **** madness this. 35 million for Andy **** Carrol with a grand total of 11 goals and half a premier league season under his belt playing for a midtable Nufc side.

This.

Even tho he is a complete word removed, I wanted Carroll to succeed and become a great player because he is English and thought it would be good for the national side.

Now, if he joins plop I hope he flops. Big style.

Makes 24 million for Bent look like an absolute bargain , doesn't it?

Utter **** madness this. 35 million for Andy **** Carrol with a grand total of 11 goals and half a premier league season under his belt playing for a midtable Nufc side.

**** off.

Bradley has joined on loan according to Soccernet. Good news that!

who?

That was me to! :oops: There is a thread on him

Michael Bradley, USA international center midfielder.[/quote

Any good?

Very very good from what I've seen off him in the Bundesliga. Will play the 'Petrov role' to perfection. Very shrewd piece of business if true.

The highest pass completion rate in the team , was every where on the pitch , got an indirect assist for our goal and yet he is deemed to be shite. Think I need to visit an Optometrist soon.

Anyway here are his chalkboards.

Three interceptions in key areas too.

Im seeing ALOT of sideways and backwards passing in that. I also note how not a single cross into the box was successfull. Not good for a winger.

But of course , you cannot always play a hollywood ball/cross , ball retention is important. Crosses are only deemed successful if they are connected with, it does not indicate anything about the quality of the crosses.
