There's also a lot of similarities between Rafa and Kenny on the young players. Let's not forget that Kenny's hand was forced by injuries to our almost all our regular and backup fullbacks. Remember Kenny played Danny Wilson at left for too many matches who was a fish out of water. Spearing too only because of injuries to Stevie, Poulsen and Shelvey.

I'm not saying Kenny doesn't support youth but he doesn't have a youth first policy like Wenger. I give Kenny a lot of credit for the confidence he instils in his players, but that's true for all his players, not just the young ones.

Good comfortable performance and defended all the set pieces very well (then again the Newcastle strikers are crap).

I thought Enrique looked quite ok and so did Gutierrez.

Another excellent penalty from Kuyt

Keep up the good work and go on to win the remaining matches!!!

Enrique look ok, but nothing special or overly impressive about him that made me excited about signing him.

Yes, another penalty converted confidently by Kuyt, he should be our 1st choice penalty taker, even when Gerrard comes back (remember Gerrard missing few penalties..)

No player are bigger than the club...but SG is liverpool and he was passionate about liverpool...if he was healthy and fit...am sure he will perform his best...every player has his share of injuries and luck...so let us give him a chance...SG will be a legend just like KD....

SH149 · #**13087** 02-05-2011, 12:11 PM

In fact I would love to see before he retired he can lift the BPL trophy as a captain that would be a perfect ending for him ... not forgetting our vice captain as well - the loyal Liverpool servant

Why is it that ONLY the 5th place team get to go europa next year? Last year we were 7th and we still went to europa this year. Did they reduce the english entry to just 1 place?

For me its important dat we can do without SG. For the last 2 years, we were basically a 2 man team - SG & FT. For much of the past 2 months, we have neither and still doing well. I hope this will also motivate SG to "earn" back his place and not take it for granted dat he will always be first XI when fit. Maybe dats why these past 2 seasons he has been average.

SH149 · #**13090** 02-05-2011, 05:25 PM

2 reason I think we are doing well
1 KD is taking charge now n he is willing to put the young gun if the senior injured/suspend or below par
2 We start to play like a team as bro too hot mentioned for the past we rely too much on SG n FT but now we r facing rely too much on JG on central back as Aggar are injury prone

football is a strange game. sometimes u cant help but wonder if the players did it on purpose ... i.e play badly in front of the despicable owners (G&H then), lose games n drag the club into the s***hole. but good to see players like Mireles, Lucas, Maxi & even Kuyt to some extent rediscovering n playing to their true potentials. hope to see the same for Joe Cole, Kyrgiakos, Ngog, maybe even Acquilani. It's like signing a few new players over again.

Strangely, many criticised RH for being a bad manager but look at his phenomenal record with WBA - only 1 loss in 9 games, incl last Sat's come-from-behind win agt Villa.

Isnt football a strange game???

I think the defensive, back to the wall, rallying approach works for relegation teams but not for Pool. Many of our players have come up to say they were confused by Roy's methods. Which is to say that he was less able to organise the players than Rafa, who was also quite defensive.
