Eh?

[matthew123]

SP you are a sick dog!

Out of Chelsea and Arsenal I'd prefer Chelsea win title - so Rafa can clutch his last straw that it's money that has won title! ::o

Lol !

Well done Brum, Dippers out of the running now (pretty much) Looks like May 5th will be 4th place decider ! CTID

WTF is Rafa Benitez playing at bringing off Torres with 30 minutes left! Trying to finish in top 4 and he does that just tells me all he is interested in is beefing up his European CV for his next job rather than what is best for Liverpool FC.

[Sandperson]

Seems a strange decision but let's face it he hasn't made a decent decision since signing him. It's going to be interesting to see what happens over the summer at Liverpool. Talk of new owners, possibly a new manager with the personnel changes that brings. Do you think a Europa league win will keep him in his job Matt?

[Bluerevolution]

Yep, looks like Europa Cup is more important

[Bluerevolution]

Useful point for West Ham, shame we will send em down in the last game of the season

[matthew123]

I don't think Rafa is going to be judged by what happens in the Europa League

Great second equalizer by West Ham - hope they manage to stay up

Getting a bit fed up with you calling us dippers! No need for it.

Apologies but it's football banter- No offence intended

Matt - Torres seemed only half interested while he was on the pitch but I agree that there was no reason to substitute him for a vastly inferior player. Not a great game and a draw probably the right result. As an outsider it sums Liverpool up as a Jeckyl and Hyde team with too many inconsistent performances - they don't look like a coherent team. One of the photos on BBC shows Gerard celebrating his goal and half the team just trooping off back to the kick off.

Edited because I've changed my mind.

[Mick Mac]

Call that an apology?

I thought he meant by "apologies but its football banter" = "so don't worry your pretty little head about it sharon."

I'd have told him to bog off. :)

[Sharon_H]

Can't be arsed Mick, I've poured myself a large vodka and am now chilling.

[matthew123]

Ngog has fantastic movement but physically he is too weak to lead the line by himself. IMO his development would be greatly enhanced by playing alongside Torres rather than always as his replacement (he ain't going to learn much from the less than nimble footed Kuyt!). It may also benefit Torres having someone else up top to drag the opposition around to create space.

That's just stirring !

[kpc]

Matt - I agree that N'Gog would improve playing alongside somebody but not sure if Torres is the right player for somebody like him to play alongside - I don't see Torres as being that 'sharing'. Also I think that Kuyt is one of the players who appear to give a f*ck about the team but is used to fit round other players than use his abilities.

[matthew123]

Watching that West Ham goal again on MOTD I hadn't realised how far he'd run from his own half before delivering that cross for the striker to make it 2-2. Perhaps a goal of the season contender.

Kuyt certainly has the right attitude but as a footballer he has done very well to make a career at the top level.
