Off to a good start anyways boys I thought the team looked sharp. Missed chances is a bit worrying but im hoping that will improve with games. Stevie G was back to his best today i feel. Overall im happy enough
yea still loads to improve on. Buts its looking much better than last year. Tolouse (to win more likely) and then chelski. 2 nil both games.. CHAMPIONEE
Thought Jamie was amazing as ever & Stevie G too. Quite a few misses but thats to be expected. The main thing is that we created so many chances and things will only get better
Im not too sure, i thought he was a little of the pace and non existant for long periods of the ame, great free kick at the end though, Great start to the season anyways....
good solid start. penalty was harsh on us and here we go again. what a free-kick that was. the torres/kuyt partnership looks very good. link play between the two and gerrard cause villa a lot of problems. babel looked lively when he came on. finnan did well to contain ashley young, he was villa's best player in the trickery and pace in a abundance. the toulouse game is live on setanta sports 1 on wednesday guys.
Good win for us, impressed with Babel's cameo for 15 minutes could prove a great player this season for us. Torres will be suited right down to the ground with the Premier League. On Toulouse, they just beat Lyon 1-0 at home in Ligue 1 so they will have their backs up midweek for sure.
great to get the win,i thought torres and kuyt linked up well together and babbel looked sharp when he came,they look up for it this season,a lot of positives to be taken from the game
Babel was sharp, once again we left ourselves in a situation that was only too reminiscant of last season, point being, we need to finish off sides without leaving them lingering with the posibility of snatching a point...I think this is the only difference between us and top spot, the ability to kill the game...the mancs have mastered it, and god knows so has Frankie Lampard with those deflected late strikes...i just don't know why we can't...we can certainly do it at home when we want, it's away where the improvement's needed...
Its goin to take time for new players to settle over all good - excellent 3 points deserved - we broke the bad start to the season not winning the first game, hopefully its on and up from now on happy days. well impressed with Torres, me thinks a new shirt with a new name is coming for me
You gotta be happy with the 3 points, the opening fixture has been won after years of failing to. It can only be a positive for the team and for the supporters. Its only the 1st game but its far better than dropping points. Hopefully the momentum can build up for us now. I'm raging I missed the game, but I'll be glued to match choice on Sky sports tonight. Bring on the next victims!!!
Liked the look of Babel. Though Agger and Riise were shaky. Pennant should not be near the team until his attitude improves. Kuyt and Torres worked well. Not a vintage showing but very encouraging. Was please with Rafas substitutes in making positive moves until Momo came on
Overall im happy with the result and the performance.Very excited with the way torres played.He has the ability to rip defences apart.Pace to burn,skill and he can head the ball well.Finnan,carra,agger all brilliant like usual.Im a bit worried by alonso and the way he played.Dont know what it is with him last season and today??Poor distribution and in my eyes anyways not the player of two seasons ago.Hope this improves but like i said it looks bad.Pennant......If we get some money for him before the market closes all the better.Useless today and hopefully babel and kewell can get in the team before him.We will need to be sharper againest toulouse midweek and more clinical.There no mugs and we just cant afford to be complacent.What was the story with macherano today.Injured or what.3 points and were on our way
good win.. Villa were poor.. will need to improve.. what a free kick from captain fantastic.. we will only get better
Yea good to get the 3 points in the bag, though when we come up against tougher competition we'll need to be in a little better shape though that should happen automatically when the new lads gel etc.
he has the ability to be World Footballer of the Year in my opinion,he's coveted by every Club in England and abroad and Lpool are blessed to have him. if he keeps up yesterday's form he'll at least win Player of the Year and hopefully number 19......
As mentiomned i too am concerned with Alonso and Pennant. Both have amazing ability in their respective roles but just dont do enough for me. I am a huge alonso fan,i adore his ability to pass but last year he just wasnt near his own standards I really hope he comes good again,its early days however,come on Xabi show us what we know you can do.
I must say while 3 points were achieved, the performance was very poor. To be honest I thought we were only marginally better against them than same fixture lasy year. Remember they are a very poor side, even at home. We need to finish teams like that off. Not only did we show mercy in front of goal but then we gifted them a goal , when to me they showed no signs of creativity. I agree with the sentiments re alonso. He better find form soon. I dont think he and stevie would be solid enough for games against an opposition with any quality (BArry aside) in midfield. Babel looked lively, Torres will be a success but might not score enough. How would crouch have done I wonder?
Well, 3 points is great, but it just reminded me of seasons gone by, oh we're ahead, only just, miss a lot of chances, and then they sneak one back, and of course Stevie pops up and saves us again! There was alot of positives, but the money was spent to get goals really, to be more attacking, and it didn't happen yesterday. Early days yet, hope we can do it!
