Liverpool 2008/09

Pronounce this name:

Poland winger Jakub Blaszczykowski wants to move to Liverpool in an 8m deal, but the 22-year-oldā€™s club Borussia Dortmund are refusing to sell.

Paddy Power are offering 10-1 on Liverpool to win the league +9 ! Thats surely worth a flutterā€¦

I have found 40 in one of my online accounts, do you think I should stick it on Liverpool tonight and 1/2 for a quick return?

Hope you didnā€™t??

Very lucky to escape goaless last night though the penalty save was justice done as it was never a peno. The team looked very rusty and lacked any creativity in the final third, Keane was very poor. Lack of width once again totally evident.

It was great to see some youngsters get a chance but doubt they will feature much once the olympic trio return.

Typical Liverpool away night in Europe but Liege are very capable of nicking an away goal.

Yes, Yes I did. Iā€™m an idiot.

Good god. Was just checking through the fixtures there and seen that ā€˜Weā€™ play utd in less than 4 weeks. Christ, not sure if iā€™m ready for that shit already!! How long since they last beat utd ??

United have won 5 and drew 1 of the last 6 league games at Anfield. Feel you owe us one though.

Thats grim readingā€¦ check the fantasy football thread

lucas is after getting a straight red for taking mascherano out with a tackle from behindā€¦i wonder do they get on at liverpoolā€¦presume the ban will only be for internationals

another brazilian is after kicking lumps out of mascheranoā€¦he will be lucky to get out of this one aliveā€¦

Masch took some punishment there.

Is the Liverpool game on tv tonight?

Itā€™s on UTV at 8

Check out the goal this cunt got against Bayern Munich last wekeend on TFKTube - superb.

Not sure about the Liverpool game though cesc4 mentioned Arsenal are on BBC3.

Any news on Riera joining Liverpool?

Apparently they are in ā€˜talksā€™.

Donā€™t know much about him - is he any good?

Looked one-paced and distinctly average when on loan for Manchester City a couple of years back. But has been making and scoring plenty of goals for Espanyol since then so it appears heā€™s improved. Heā€™s not a flier though and I think Liverpool could do with an injection of pace down the flanks rather than someone whoā€™s tidy and will keep the shape of the team.

On RTE 2 tonight also

Iā€™m shitting it about tonight. Traditionally Liverpool have been very poor in these qualifying rounds: losing at home to Graz the year we won it, needing a last minute winner v Haifa 2 years ago, then being lucky the return leg was moved to Kiev.

Liege are the best team we have faced yet at this stage, and the lack of an away goal makes this very awkward. I have visions of us scoring early then gradually sitting back and inviting the ultimate kick in the balls. Hopefully we tear into them from the start and take a 2-0 lead into half time or something, otherwise it will be very edgy.

Easy enough win in the end. Suppose It was never in doubt really and it was great to see super Kuyt open his account for the seaonā€¦When is the draw for the group stages ?

A pisstake I assume?

5pm today is the drawā€¦
