Liverpool Football Club 08/09

the Pacheco-Voronin-Benyanoon combo was at times breathtaking. I pity the fool that draws us in the League Cup 3rd round.

Voronin looked awesome. Looks like he is gonna be even better than last year!

We never played Luzerne.

our new goalkeeper was a bit of a disaster. Communication problems. Degen is clearly one of those full backs who doesn't like going in his own half. Pacheco is exciting and should have scored.

The Vålerenga friendly is on 5th August

No, not really. Our chinability to turn our possession into goals in the second half was a frustration.

Pacheco put in a good cameo but most of the first-teamers looked fairly disinterested tbh.

Stop bullying rosicky guys.

Do just enough to beat the team in front of you, it's the Chelsea way.

Wasla Krakow game is also on Five, on Saturday at 5:30-or-something-ish.

You didn't understand what I said it seems. Comparing the 2 teams is impossible since we didn't play Luzerne.

Chelsea would probably make the final of the swiss friendly tournament and then lose of course.

In extra time or on penalties?

The brewery doesn't make another delivery till tomorrow. Besides, I think you've had enough.

On penalties. A panic expensive buy will miss the one to keep you in, perhaps Arshavin

Jesus I've got to stop reading this thread

And Ballack gets to add the highly-rated Davidoff Swiss International friendly tournament runners-up medal to his runner-up collection.

Liverpool interested in Riera, may bid 10m euros.

There have been rumours for a long time , any truth ?

Hearing today that Benitez is looking to make Keane the priority over Barry is fantastic news. Out of the two, the prospect of Keane makes me much more excited, he would be perfect up front with Torres:

-------------Reina------------------

--Arbeloa-------Carra-------Agger-------Dossena------

-----------------Masch--------Alonso/Lucas------------

--------Gerrard-------------------------------Babel--------------

-----------------------Keane---------Torres----------------------

I think that's a very good team to try and challenge for the title, it's not perfect, I would feel much more confident with an experienced and proven player in Babel's position and in all honesty I'd much prefer to see Barry in Alonso's position but the price for me isn't right. Arbeloa will have to prove his worth or Degan will take his place but I think it would be a very good summer considering the lack of funds if we managed to sign Keane - and I think we may well just do that this week

Where did you hear it? Makes perfect sense to me.

But I would expect the formation to be

-----------------Masch---------------------
----------Gerrard----Alonso--------------
Keane/Kuyt-----------------------Babel
-----------------Torres-------------------

Decent first team but thin. Benayoun is our only cover for Babel.

Leto looked alright last night, tricky but probably lacks acceleration

looks like Carson to Stoke is off, not sure why - hopefully Blackburn or someone else offered more.

The TalkSport phone in this afternoon is about Keane to Liverpool, Durham doesn't rate him. Apparently it's 10 years ago today Houlier took over.

Stoke withdraw from Carson chase

Stoke have abandoned their pursuit of England goalkeeper Scott Carson, but other Premier League clubs are still in the running for the Liverpool player.

Liverpool and Stoke are understood to have agreed a fee of about £4m for Carson, but the deal has now collapsed.

Blackburn are believed to be on the verge of making an offer for Carson, with their first-choice keeper Brad Friedel a target for Aston Villa.

The 22-year-old has also been linked with Premier League new boys West Brom.

Carson got as far as travelling to Stoke's Britannia Stadium on Monday to open negotiations over personal terms but an agreement could not be reached.

A brief statement from the club read: "Stoke City can announce that we are no longer pursuing Liverpool goalkeeper Scott Carson.

"The club will continue to look to improve the squad and remain hopeful of closing in on several new signings ahead of the Barclays Premier League campaign."

Carson joined Liverpool from Leeds for £750,000 in 2005, but spent last season on loan at Aston Villa, making 35 Premier League appearances.

The proposed £4m fee marked a major reduction in the player's asking price, with Liverpool previously holding out for around £10m.

Aston Villa had been favourites to sign Carson on a permanent basis but manager Martin O'Neill's interest appeared to cool with Tottenham keeper Paul Robinson emerging as a more likely target for the Villans.

Liverpool, who have already sold Peter Crouch to Portsmouth this summer, are keen to free up transfer funds as they look to finalise a deal for Villa captain Gareth Barry and continue to chase Spurs striker Robbie Keane.

What did you think of Pacheco? Based on my extensive FM research I'd written him off as Cr@p but he might be OK.

he looks class for a 17 year old, I can see why we signed him. Bit like Nemeth in the sense that he doesn't seem physically ready for the Premiership yet, but he seems a really confident player and some of the interplay between him Voronin and Benyanoon was sublime.

The ultimate test of not wanting Barry has popped up in todays transfer rumours.

Liverpool will sell Andrei Voronin to a German club for around £3m to help finance the signing of Gareth Barry from Aston Villa. (Daily Mirror)

So which transfer would you prefer not to happen?

I'd rather keep Voro, obviously. He came on a free so we lose nothing.

£3m profit on Voro or £17m wasted on a squad player? No-brainer.
