Jah Lush Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Liverpool have got plenty of wide players except they all seem to be right-wingers and Benitez insists on playing them on the left. Why? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1210-football-focus/page/143/#findComment-129499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 True Jah, true.God, I feel like I'm talking about England 2 years ago (before Joe Cole more or less claimed the position), what are we going to do about that left side?Heard talk of Downing, but doubt Boro would want to let him go, and not really sure if I'd really want him... That said, he's got to be better than nothing, which is what we currently seem to have.Lets resign Harry Kewell! :-S Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1210-football-focus/page/143/#findComment-129503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Lush Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Christ on a bike you Liverpool fans think you've got problems, just take a look at what's happening or not happening at White Hart Lane. As Bon3yard said: "The horror."We've got two centre-forwards. One who is fucking brilliant but wants to play for Man Utd and another one who is a ?16.5 million waste of fecking space.In the past year we've got rid of Robbie Keane, Jermaine Defoe and Mido (who has lost weight and started scoring regularly for Boro). We need three forwards and we need them NOW!!!! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1210-football-focus/page/143/#findComment-129510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Hopefully for you Berbatov will be flogged for a healthy fee. No point having some tosser who just care about how much money he can make, and you could buy something good with the cash!That said, Ferguson has said he's not too confident of making anymore signings, so Berby may have to rot.To be fair to Bent, he had a good preseason, and you've not exactly given him a lot service in the first couple of games.Agree you need signings though, what about Roman Pavlyuchenko and this on off thing with Andrei Arshavin?

bon3yard Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 My flatmate is a Reds fan and during the game he had a face like a..a..a..well, he resembled Gordon Brown. Not pretty. I pointed out that walking a mile in my shoes as a Spurs 'endurer' might rosy up his tinted specs a bit. Tis all relative I guess. We need a Decent holding midfielder as well as a couple of strikers.

Jah Lush Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 The thing is whoever comes in whether it be Arshavin and Pavlyuchenko they have all got to get used to each other and get used to pace of the Premiership. So it's another season of adjustment for Spurs. Feck me! We should never have got rid of Martin Jol at this rate. What's the betting he wins something in his first year at Hamburg this season.

Annasfield Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Yep we are certainly not moving out of first gear at the moment. Yet we have 3 wins under our belts and for the time being I am quite happy with that. Need to remember that Gerrard has been playing with an injury that needs surgery.The Spanish lads only re joined the squad 2 weeks before the start of the season having had very little rest. Babel, Mascherano and Lucas have all been in China, so to say we have had a weakened squad is an understatment. We certainly lacked width last night, but have been linked with Riera. Is this likely to solve our problems.... (?)No excuses - we need to improve, but I think when other big teams scrape a result it's labelled as the stuff of Champions. When we do it, we are lucky. :-S Roll on Sunday - I will certainlty be glad to have Mascher back in the team and I aslo think that El Zhar may begin to be used a bit more. He was terrific on Saturday and last night. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1210-football-focus/page/143/#findComment-129554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Lush Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Yeah that El Zhar looked pretty good and should have had a penalty. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1210-football-focus/page/143/#findComment-129555 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keef Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 The thing is whoever comes in whether it be Arshavin and Pavlyuchenko they have all got to get used to each other I think the hope is that Arshavin and Pavlyuchenko could recreate their international understanding at club level.

If Leeds get the Blades it should make the TV. We'll have to have a beer and find somewhere locally showing it.

SimonM Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 >>Are the Wendies not still in the competition?<<They were famously knocked out by Rotherham in the 1st round - to much hilarity and wild applause in much of South Yorks! The Rotherham fans have had a lot to put up with these past few seasons and I really hope they get a good home draw....Alas a game between the Uniteds of Leeds & Sheffield might well attract blokes of discernment such as thee and me, but can you really see Sky going for it?! Now if Leeds draw Merde Utd that might be different....

david_carnell Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Oh yes, I remember now.A home draw against MU would be "interesting" to say the least. They'd probably field a reserve team and still win but with 40000 baying Leeds fans you never know how these la-di-da Premiership boys will cope.I'll take MU in the next round after we've beaten you lot at the Lane!And I suspect you're right about Sky not being fussed over two Yorkshire rivals from large cities with big fan bases.
