Liverpool looking better as the half has gone on. Shelvey did well there, but i was more impressed with Stirling keeping the ball in and managing to whip in a good cross.

Is it just me or is Enrique looking rather poor? Haven't seen a good game from him in awhile.

Hasn't been that good since about November. I'm fairly certain his career is inversely attached to Jordi Alba's, which means we're fucked now he's signed for Barca.

That's ridiculous. I like how 'faded slightly in the second half of the season' goes to 'really poor in the second half of the season' which has now become 'hasn't been good since November'. Enrique was the best Lb in the league for for the first half, it is understandable that he couldn't maintain that form but people are making him out to be terrible. While he hasn't been good in this match, its half a game in preseason, he was fine against Toronto.

Btw, is Messi on the pre-season tour with Barca? Want him to play against United when they play in August.

Messi is 'injured' he picked up a light strain right before the hamburg trip (I dont believe this for a second) and he was back doing light recovery work today. I dont think the club wanted to risk him before the season starts/clasico.

Yeah this. His decline in form past Christmas wasn't as severe or as abrupt as people make out. He's made a few mistakes, and looked tired at times but I still think he's one of the best LBs in the league.

He wasn't good against Toronto either. He's not good. Only thing he has is speed, nothing else.

I think he's been like a dog at a firework display for a good part of the season, perhaps November was harsh, but definitely since Christmas. He seems jumpy and prone to lacks of concentration, and his ability to close down crosses is seriously lacking.

AA and Shelvey were great first half.

DKR was fantastic. What an ending, Nolan is the best big budget director around, despite GAF backlash.

:lol

Commentator 1: "I don't know where Jonjo Shelvey and Michael Bradley's friendship has come from"

Commentator 2: "Probably go to the same barbers by the looks of them"

Oh, not you Wooden. I made a note to tell anyone in this thread who's joining in with that meme that it isn't funny in the slightest. And it's a blame space joke to boot.

People actually made it to the fourth season of that show? Tried to watch season 1 but was sure it was all the same episode.

:lol :lol :lol at your avatar. I thought COOLIO was quoting me for a second.

House is pretty great overall, if you couldn't make to S4, the show is definitely not for you, since the best seasons come before that.

Just got bored of every episode being so predictable. Same stuff happened in every episode.

Hmm...Suso is playing. I should watch, but then I'll get sad that LFC have a player I so badly wish we had...

What to do...


Arnie said:
Now that's hilariously ironic.

Fucking love Morgan, having a go at Heinze for going in hard on Suso. A scouser giving shit to a Manc for sliding Suso. That's a perfect storm.
Click to expand...
We don't like Heinze. Mainly because he wanted to join your mob.

Adorjan, Wilson, Sama and Lucas coming on.

Great to see Lucas getting some more game time, his recovery's 2 months ahead of schedule apparently.
