European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Liverpool FC Fan Zone: Champions of England by Katsumoto: 6:56pm On Jul 21, 2014 |
dayokanu: Almost everyone on your team is average to mediocre now. The star is gone and replacing him with a dozen average player wont cut it especially in Europe. To some extent I agree with your comments. 1. But Liverpool has always been a club that creates stars. Dalglish, Rush, Fowler, Owen, Torres, Suarez, Alonso were all made at Anfield. Mascherano was rehabilitated at Anfield 2. Rodgers philosophy is to rely less on stars and more on team work. So far his signings have been hit and miss. 3. The players signed so far are decent in my opinion but then again, perhaps I am optimistic as a fan and you are probably more objective than me. 4. Like last season, we start again as underdogs. Everyone is expecting Citeh or Chelsea to win the EPL ad Manutd and Arsenal to complete the top four. We have lost our best player and we aren't sure how well we will do without him. 5. I hope we get Reus, he ll definitely be a game changer. I guess I will re-assess Liverpool's chances again at the mid way point in December. As a fan, I can't but be optimistic. |

dayokanu: Lambert, Lallana and now Lovren We had a thin squad last year. Since we are in the ECL this year, we need a bigger squad. To avoid making the mistake spurs made last year, Rodgers is after players who are proven in the EPL. And since we may not be able to get players from the top 4 sides, we have to look at other clubs such as Southampton and Newcastle. Lallana, Remy, Lovren are the best outside Chelsea, Arsenal, Citeh. Lambert is a short term option, certainly better than Aspas. Plus we are signing other good players from other leagues. What is your opinion on Reus? Do you think he ll come to Liverpool? What do you think he is worth? Is Reus better than Shaqiri (whom u chaps refuse to sell to us)? |

dayokanu: Forget your beef with England or its press for a second. England hyping its players doesn't mean England has not produced great footballers. I don't disagree with your list of great defenders but your anti-England bias makes you hate everything English. |

A40: Again football is a team sport. Rio has done it for club and country as well but Germany is a much better footballing nation than England and as such, Boateng will win more national trophies than Rio. Forget about trophies for now; Rio and Boateng are not mates. You are a Bayern supporter and probably biased. Apart from Bayern fans, Boateng is not heralded as one of the best defenders in the world; Rio was during his prime. |

A-40 Football is a team sport. So there are times when great players don't get to win and useless players get to win. Djimi Traore has a ECL medal while Ronaldo has none. Boateng, whom I like, has won more global titles than Rio but that doesn't make Boateng better than Rio. |

This weekend was not bad Bought Remy for £8M Sold Borini for £14m but Borini does not want to leave. Can we get volunteers to drive him to Sunderland? £16m deal for Lovren Remaining deals LB - Hopefully Moreno signs this week but I would prefer Rodriguez who scores more and has more assists Attacker - Hopefully Reus Breakthrough players I would love to have more playing time this season Jordan Ibe - 3 assists in 2 games Ilori - lets see how good he is. Rossiter Players to leave Lucas Borini Assaidi - hopefully the news of £6m from Stoke is true Allen - if stories of Isco are true |

dayokanu: Dayokanu Clearly you have something against Rio In the last decade, the closest defender to Rio is Nesta. Vidic is similar to Terry and Campbell; although very good but he was raped regualrly by Torres when Torres was at Liverpool. Rio, in my opinion, was the complete defender. The issue many have with Rio is that he defends with ease. The best defenders eliminate goal scoring threats well before relying on last ditch tackles. I will never forget how Rio caught up with Aghahowa and eased him off the ball before turning and passing the ball. gra gra defenders would have just cleared Aghohowa beyond the line. 1 Like |

ashdigital: New team? We can't build a new team. I think we will play 4-3-3 with DS as the arrowhead of our attack with Sterling and Markovic in a 3 man attack. Reus would be the better option as he can slot into that system. Benzema would mean a change of formation to possibly 4-4-2 like we did when Suarez was around. That could also be a good thing. Well I trust Rodgers anyway. The defense still needs some work. I am glad about Can since Gerrard doesn't really have the legs to be an anchor over many games. Moreno/Rojo would be excellent LBs and Lovren would be a good upgrade on Skrtel. |

Hey fellow Reds; new season is upon us and Suarez has left. What should be our goals for this season? How should we play now that we don't have Suarez? What should be our first 11? 1 Like |

Not much changes around here. How can Smalling and Jones be better than Boateng? Or Nastasic for that matter. Cahill may have been at fault for the Balotelli goal but that shouldn't remove from him as a quality defender. He is easily an underrated defender. All top defenders are at fault at some point in their careers. Baresi was at fault for the Houghton goal Ireland scored against Italy at USA 94. I use Baresi because he is considered one of the best central defenders of all time. It is almost impossible to win the WC or any top tournament with a bad/average defense. The German defense was solid throughout and Boateng was very good. 3 Likes |

GustavoFring: Players are credited for their individual abilities but manager gets credit for success or failure of the team. The magnitude of such credit is dependent on the resources at the disposal of the manager. Martinez would be more lauded if he wins the premiership than Mourinho if Mourinho were to win. |

So many idiots on Nairaland. Someone else's culture doesn't have to make sense to you. If the people of Akure have this tradition, who are you dunderheads to question it? Was Mandela's body in the morgue when it was lying in state for 3 days? They make fun of African culture but are quick to imbibe American culture even when many of them have never stepped on a plane before. 10 Likes |

debosky: Dunno why Bayern or even transfers are being talked about - we have some crunch games in the next few weeks that may decide whether we're even in any shape to be talking about winning things next year. Without Suarez LFC has 3 wins, 1 Draw, 1 Loss. With Suarez LFC has 7 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses. Without Suarez Liverpool had a points ratio of .66. With Suarez, Liverpool has a points ratio of .69. Is there a huge difference? No. Liverpool is scoring more goals in games but a 1 nil win is the same as a 5 nil win = 3 points Suarez is the best player at LFC but LFC is not a one man team. Gerrard is equal with Ozil on number of assists. Sturridge is 3rd on the scorers chart and has missed 2 games. Pass completion of the LFC midfield is one of the highest in the EPL.

coogar: Come on Coogar Kicking the turf and subsequently pointing to the spot is not different from diving to win a penalty. And it certainly is different from players who instinctively raise their hands and point to the corner for a freekick or goal kick. |

Dayokanu Bayern alone can not make up a German league. The German league is shiite when compared with the big boy leagues Seria A, EPL, La Liga. The results in this year's ECL and all time records prove so. |
