BOF Posted August 8, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 8, 2015 This is the Milner that has been announced as Liverpool's vice captain a matter of weeks after signing for the club. I think we can safely say Barrett is a bit of a clearing in the woods then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I give him a maximum of two seasons before he wants out to a bigger club. Mind you he will out last that arrogant git Rodgers at Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Won't get his move playing like he has today. One of those moany, petulant, lazy Benteke days. Could still bang the winner in at any moment though of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 9, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2015 I dunno, he's looked lively to me, they just can't get the ball to him though. Wonder how many times he's touched the ball today. Can't be much. Think he'd better get used to that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Just looked a bit unsure of where to be and what his team mates wanted him to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted August 9, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2015 He might have poached a goal if only Liverpool had played to his strengths and got wide men firing in crosses to him. Someone should have advised Christian of this before he went there, it might have been a big help! I am sure he would have appreciated the sound career advice.

briny_ear Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/aug/09/stoke-liverpool-five-talking-points 2) Liverpool must adapt to Benteke or vice-versa An absolute dog of a game in the opening match is no time to judge Christian Benteke’s suitability at Liverpool but, purely in terms of wanting to disprove Tim Sherwood’s theory that he has joined the wrong club, the Belgium international must hope the service he received at Stoke City is not indicative of things to come. Bar the occasional first time flick from Coutinho, or the kind of long hopeful punt he thought he had left behind at Aston Villa, it was extremely limited as Liverpool left their £32.5m signing isolated at the Britannia Stadium. In fairness there was no flow or rhythm to either team’s performance and Benteke cut an increasingly frustrated figure as he urged team-mates to play the ball to his feet while struggling to read their intentions. The striker created a half-chance from dispossessing Geoff Cameron on the edge of the Stoke area with a full-blooded shoulder charge, had to come over to the touchline to win the occasional aerial challenge and waited 68 minutes for his first shot on goal. Miscommunication over a decent chance with Henderson encapsulated what can for now be described as teething troubles. Well, don't say Timmy didn't warn ya* (*allegedly: currently the subject of dispute) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every goal he scores is going to be like a dagger in my heart, so might as well get some points out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Was their best player. Already looks too good for them, as we all expected. Hope he gets 30 goals, has a blinding Euro16 and is snapped up by Madrid 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
