no way, less than decent character [shakehead]

 

I don't like him for scoring against us (twice) last season?

 

but soccer is strange. bellamy was notorious, and we bought him. and he was ok when with us, except when playing golf with riise...

collymore was also not too liked... but he did quite ok when with us.

i hated Anelka, except when he played for us...

harry kewell was so yah yah papaya, and we bought him...

 

as long as good player, can consider lah..

Question is: is he good (enough)?

did he do something??

 

not something bad, but play-acting, sneaky petulant fouls etc ........ I used to like him, very solid defender that could also attack but seen him this season with all the "not nice" traits and disliked him since.

 

Well one can also say so about Suarez but he is a Pool player mah :D

our "lao yah" defence analysed

 

Defensive lapses a natural consequence of Liverpool's dynamism

Good read but we have to be tighter at the back or we will be hacked to pieces by similar attack minded teams (i.e. Barca, Real Madrid) if we get into the CL next season. Our goalie needs to start commanding his box and defenders and stop staying rooted to his goal line.

 

We also need a defensive coach who will dovetail with BR's attacking style.

Why Olympiacos fans will never walk alone

When Liverpool meet Olympiacos in this summer’s Guinness International Champions Cup in Chicago, don’t be surprised if the biggest round of applause of the night from the LFC fans is directed at the Greek club’s supporters.

The two clubs have enjoyed a special relationship ever since they met in the Champions League in 2004 – a competition the Reds would famously go on to win that season - and if any further proof was needed about the bond that has grown between both sets of supporters, it was evident on Tuesday night when Olympiacos hosted Manchester United.

Football fans watching the match at home may have been surprised when a picture of a banner paying tribute to the 96 Liverpool supporters who lost their lives at Hillsborough started trending on social media but the banner is not new and can actually be seen in the ground whenever Greek football’s most successful club – winners of 40 league titles – play at home.

Olympiacos, like Liverpool, know all about football tragedies.

 

In 1981, eight years before Hillsborough, there was the Karaiskakis Stadium disaster. Having enjoyed a famous 6-nil win over AEK Athens, thousands of fans rushed to the exit at Gate 7 to make their way to the stadium’s main entrance to celebrate with their heroes. The doors were closed, however, and the turnstiles were still in place. There was no way out of the stadium and as more fans came rushing down the stairs – unable to see the tragedy beginning to unfold at Gate 7 – those at the front were crushed.

21 fans – many of them young – died. The cause of death for many was suffocation.

What April 15th 1989 is for Liverpool FC, February 8th 1981 is for Olympiacos.

Liverpool supporters, more knowledgeable than most about European football history, made sure that the Olympiacos fans knew that they understood their pain when the Greek side visited Anfield in 2004.

 

A mosaic was created on the Kop that remembered fans lost by both clubs. ’96 + 21 YNWA’ it read.

The heartfelt gesture was appreciated by not just the visiting fans that night but also those watching at home back in Greece.

Three years later, a group of Liverpool fans laid a wreath at the Gate 7 memorial.

As a mark of gratitude for the respect shown, Olympiacos fans created their own banner that read ‘JUSTICE FOR THE 96’ and hung it on the Gate 7 section of their ground. It’s a banner that can be seen at every game – not just for the match against Manchester United.

Another large banner, not shown on TV, but bearing both club crests, reads: ‘Brothers, you show us the way - 21+96 - You’ll Never Walk Alone’.

 

Tragedy may have brought the two clubs together but in Chicago on July 27, it will be a mutual respect between the two sets of supporters that strengthens a genuine bond that is unique in football.

I think that Belgium is blessed with good defender etc. Kompany, Vermalaen…… and forwards too

that's why some say that belgium can be a dark horse this year

Brought a tear to my eye

Interestingly, Liverpool will be facing ManU on 16 MARCH (Super Sunday, "Lunch" time kick-off)

 

3 days later, they will be playing the 2nd leg of the Champions League tie versus Olympiakos.

 

Both games ManU are at Home. Realistically, the Champions League is the only trophy they are in a shout with.

 

Will they be resting their stars on Sunday in preparation of the must win tie (need to score 3 clear goals).

 

To get knocked out, at Home to a team from a supposedly weaker league could have serious ramifications on them

 

Will Moyes (if he is still around then) gamble?????
