SUKKIE:

Lucas is proper shit,we need 2 get rid of him.

Lucas was okay today, at least he was defensively.


I refuse to be completely disappointed, maybe this loss can spur us and wake us up. we have been sleeping throughout the season.
Benayoun should have started , Babel was totally useless.

The Liverpool fans' thread has been locked . re-open it!

Lucas was okay today, at least he was defensively.

You need a creative midfielder!

u are very right.

Liverpool need to go back to the drawing boards, starting with firing Rafa, and if funds are desperately needed, selling Gerard.

Playing against Spurs today, they looked bereft of creativity, had little potency at goal, and lacked quality depth on the bench. Same things were evident in the preseason.
Losing the game, all the Liverpool bench had to offer were Benayoun and Voronin . There was no one to help ignite the offense or add pressure to the spurs back line. In fact, Liverpool seem weakened by the additions.
Outside of the starting XI, the drop in quality is very sharp, with no quality replacements for Gerrard, Torres, Cara, or Masch. Even in the first XI, player like Babel, Insua, and Kuyt, are more of passengers than contributors.

Rafa spent £18m on a full back and €20 million on a 25yr old guy with 'potential' who has played an average of 24 games in all competitions in the last 3 seasons due to injuries (and is currently out injured). Talk about wasting money. He could have gotten a good deal on Negredo from Madrid in the Alonso sale, and still have money to buy a decent player like Cattermole or Defour. Rafa likely cant deliver premiership success on a tight budget.

As good a player as Gerard is, he is a rare breed, and a bit difficult to build a team around. At 29yrs, If someone like man city is willing to offer some crazy money, they should sell him and use the money to rebuild the squad.

If Liverpool dont make 1 or 2 more signings before the close of the window, they are likely to finish below even Arsenal.

Fire Benitez?! haba! which kind analyst u be??

writing liverpool off would be foolish, United didnt win their first game last season ( i guess i'm ryt). d game had beta creativity when benayoun came on; he shld have started, not Babel.

You can keep benitez if you will provide the huge transfer budget he would need to deliver. Without that money, its better they get a manager like Oneil or Wenger, who is better suited to delivering on a  tight budget and grooming youngsters. Same would apply to hiring someone like Mourinho, you need to give a him a sizable budget to guarantee results.
The observations were not based on just this game but were evident in the preseason, and the competitive game just confirmed it.
There is nothing foolish in writing off the title ambition of a squad that lacks quality depth. For example, who is the backup striker to Torres - Voronin?

there was no voronin last season n no suitable back-up for torres too. yet, they were closest to united, very strong title contender last season.

Last season offensive results were based on great performances by Torres, Gerard and Alonso. The latter has been sold with no credible replacement yet, and to expect Gerard and Torres to deliver same remarkable results this season is being overly optimistic.

Just because they were strong contenders last season don't mean shit.
Arsenal were strong contenders in 2007/8. . . . .They finished 4th in 2008/9.
Liverpool were abysmal and they should thank Robbie Keane for being their best player on the pitch today.
On another day. . . . .It shoulda been Tottenham 4-0 Liverpool.

rafa is on a mission to ruin the owners of the club. he is a madman in the transfer market.

Congrats to Spurs. A bright start to the season!

I think Robbie Keane thinks he can be resigned by Rafa, those misses should be probed by the FA. How can you lose such chances? My dog would have buried half of those chances. However, right off liverpool at your peril. I wont say anything about a team that handed my darling United the worst home defeat in several seasons. I only pray that as usual Liverpool finishes below United on the log in May.

Liverpool like Chelsea won't win the EPL this season. They both have useless bench players.

about Negredo, Cattermole and Defour ,  Rafa has thought in that direction- we have asked about them in the past.

but u are not in his shoes , are u?. moreover u are just a simpleton spectator of the football transfer market. all u do is take the silly opinions from goal.com , recycle , then post them here.

u should contact liverpoolfc since u know so much, we really need a guy like u. stupid idiot!

@bgees
you come make mouth about beating us at the lane and u lost

Facht Man loses Xabi and the midfield turns putty.The only opportunity to win the EPL was squandered last season.
Thank God we have Asnal and Cheksi to push us to the zenith.

Being that the summary of you post was a personal attack, makes it quite obvious that you are barely lettered and definitely not educated.
Do not be shocked that some people can actually form an opinion for themselves. Though I do understand the challenge it poses to one who cannot think for himself, let alone think for others.
Anyways, its pointless to argue with someone like you, as onlookers may not be able to tell the difference. The last thing I want is to be mistaken for someone like you.

I refuse to be completely disappointed, maybe this loss can spur us and wake us up. we have been sleeping throughout the season.
Benayoun should have started , Babel was totally useless.

Hopefully,it will.Babel is a big waste of space,it's taking him forever to step -up. Without a doubt we need quality legs in the midfield n a prolific striker as well otherwise at best we gonna play second fiddle once again.

Babel is not the most technically gifted and excels when there is space to use his pace. Benitez plays a 5-man midfield which doesn't give a player like babel much space to operate. I think the guy would perform better in a trident attack or as an SS in a faster paced diamond.

I take back what I said about Babel in my previous posts - its too early to jump into conclusions. Afterall its just the start of the season.

And it is highly silly for anyone to blame Rafa for Babel's shortcomings. Babel has played everywhere along Liverpool's forward line and he only impressed in bits.

Listen to coach Biina analyse Babel. Nonsense!

Obviously u haven't watched our games well enough.

Then please correct me. It would be interesting to see how much you have seen of Liverpool before Benitez was appointed, what you have seen of Benitezh before and after he joined liverpool, and what you have seen of Babel before and after he joined liverpool.

You need to get off the fanboism juggernaut. Your childish tantrums on this board will not affect the price of fish at the club

I agree with Biina. Babel was touted and looked like the next Thierry Henry. If he was in Spurs, Arsenal he would flourish as those are naturally wide teams.
