The Bigfooty Liverpool Thread

I will die on the hill of Raul Meireles being a good player for us. I was spewing when he ended up at Chelsea.

Still remember this banger he scored for us

 

[kane249]

Yeah he was excellent for the time he was with us. Not quite sure why we sold him. We had FSG onboard by that stage, surely we weren't that desperate for cash. Flipping Torres was the best businesses of the mid season window as unpopular as it was at the time.

Damage was done by the time FSG came on board, Mereiles had his head turned by Chelsea and was committed to getting out. Similar exit to when we lost Yosi to them

There has to be an alternative universe out there where Torres stays to partner Suarez, recapturing his best form and they go on to do great things together for us.

We flipped Torres and Babel for Carrol and Suarez, don't think we would have bought Suarez without the Torres cash

Torres was spent by the time we flogged him off. It was the right if unpopular call by FSG to get rid.

I remember Carragher saying something similar recently.

IIRC Suarez was already incoming when we sold Torres. I remember being excited about the potential partnership.

 

[Lefti93]

I remember Suarez stating that he was excited to play with Torres, little did he know he'd be sold a few days after.

Further to my post yesterday, it does seem there is a little bit of luck with the UCL knockout rounds. There will still be a draw but it will be limited. This graphic illustrates it best:

Matches against Juve are always extra spicy given the past history

 

[gaskin]

I fancy us against any of those but I don't want to play Madrid again.

Screenshot was taken while City were leading PSG. City now in 25th (all they need to do to make it is beat Club Brugge at home), Celtic are now in 18th.

This just adds to the ridiculousness of the needless changes to the UCL. There was no problem with the old format.

It's a stupid format to shoehorn another few games in.

Bayern, Real, and City are all likely to win their final game. I think there's a chance PSG is our first knockout opponent?

Spaghetti legs.

 

[Cooldude]

PAdman out there devastated that spagetti legs lifted every possible trophy as Liverpool captain

For 6 months in 2010 we had Cancer & aids owning the club and Woy managing the club.


Don't think it's ever going to get much worse.............

Guess the year that I arrived in Liverpool and started supporting the club.

It was grim times back then. I didn't even get the Rafa era beforehand.
