macguyver Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 TNS head chief said on their official webpage that this was gonna be a big game for them, And in my opinion before we sign any new attackers I, with great emphasis on I, feel that Mellor should be given much more chances to play first team football as he has shown already what he is able to do, and it would be nice to have a striker that comes from our own Junior acadamy. we already have Cissé, Morientes, and possibly Baros for the next season. Pongolles hsould be given more chances on the right midfield as he was quite good against Olympiacos, and Le Tallec seems to just have dissapeared from Benitez plans if he ever had any for him. Mellor is the future anyway!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macguyver Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 The Problem with Pongolle being in centre, is that there just isn't place for him there. And to this date he seems to be our best (only?) option on the right wing. Josemi have not impressed anyone. Finnan is right back. Garcia cuts in to the middle when playing on right. At least we can hope that we get a real right winger somehow before the season kicks off. Got my doubts about SWP making the move. Anyway, first match should be a "sure" winner. But we cannot risk it by using some b-team starting line up. As long as we focus on the match an don't take it too easy. OK. do any of you belive we will get some significant input from the clubs youth this year? A La the ind we got from Mellor and warnock before they got injured? I'm sad that Foy hasn't had a chance on the a team yet. I haven't seen him personally play yet, but him being a regular in the reserve squad for years now and being a right winger being able to use both his foots I wouldn't mind seeing him getting a shot on the team.

The Australian forward has been plagued by a series of ailments that have prevented him from demonstrating his undoubted ability since switching to Anfield in the summer of 2003. Last season especially was decimated by injury with Kewell suffering from ankle, groin, Achilles tendon and back problems. Indeed, the groin injury forced him out of the UEFA Champions League final against Milan after just 20 minutes and provoked widespread, if rather unjustified, criticism of the 26-year-old. Kewell admits the condemnation has hurt but insists he has not yet had the chance to prove his true worth to Reds fans. "It hasn't been a nice time in football for me," he told The Times. "I've been criticised, but I know the truth. "The boss (Benitez) knew right from the start of the season that I had an injury and every time I played, he was taking a chance with me and that I was putting my body on the line because, at any given time, it could snap. "That's what happened in the final. "It was the biggest game of my life and the injury wasn't on my mind, but when I stretched and felt it snap, I knew right away that I couldn't go on. "Yes, I could have limped around as the eleventh man, but that would have harmed the team. "Everyone in sport knows that if you can't play on, the best thing for the team is to get off the pitch." However, following groin surgery, the former Leeds star is confident of being fully fit to start next term and will be reporting back for pre-season on time. "I can't wait," he continued. "I know Liverpool's fans haven't seen the best of me, but now I can start looking to the future and put everything else behind me." </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Last chance saloon, although Rafa seems to love ya!

Liverpool will be expected to brush aside TNS en route to a second round tie against either HB Torshavn or FBK Kaunas. But Reds captain Gerrard believes it would be disrespectful to ignore the threat that TNS could pose for his side. Gerrard is thankful for a tie close to home but he is adamant the Liverpool squad will not be underestimating TNS - based in Welsh village Llansantffraid. "We're obviously pleased with the draw because there's so little travelling," said Gerrard. "When you consider some of the places we could have gone, it's perfect. "We could have been on the borders of Asia but instead it's the borders of Wales. "What we have to do is treat them with total respect.

jep Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Kewell is one of those players that managers always think they can get the best out of. He has done it in the past and I reckon Rafa thinks he can get him to do it again. I am not convinced however. Mentally he just doesn't seem to fancy putting the effort in and once that happens you might as well be talking to a traffic cone.

The England hopeful is poised to spend a season away from Anfield on loan and has West Brom and Celtic chasing his services. The Baggies have been in pole position to sign the 24-year-old but there has been a late declaration of interest from north of the border. Bhoys boss Gordon Strachan handed Kirkland his professional debut while at Coventry City and is keen to work with the shot-stopper again. Kirkland still holds Strachan in high regard but is ready to snub the overtures from Parkhead in favour of a move to The Hawthorns. The keeper's agent Colin Gordon admitted that Kirkland feels his international aspirations would be better served by staying in The Premiership. "Celtic are pushing really, really hard and Chris still has a very high regard for Gordon Strachan," Gordon told the Express & Star. "But Chris feels Albion and The Premiership is the place to be. He is a little concerned Scotland means 'out of sight, out of mind'. "The opportunity for Albion is exciting for him and suits all parties. "Albion get a top quality keeper for a season, Liverpool can see Chris prove his fitness and Chris gets the chance to show everyone what he can do." Gordon confirmed that Kirkland, who gets married this weekend, is aiming to be a Baggies player for the start of pre-season training. He added: "There will not be a honeymoon. Albion report back next week and Chris is aiming to be there. "I've spoken to the relevant parties in the last 24 hours and everything is in place for the deal to go through." </div></BLOCKQUOTE> Bit risky tbh, by the time he gets to Scotland he will have injured himself surely?

Moreclaw Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Never seen the point of long term loans. Takes him off our wage bill but then we'll get FA when his contract runs out (in the case of Veron; for us Kirkland has 2 years left so we'll have to offload him in 12 months).
