Must admit the team are looking good, averaging 3 goals a game so far in pre season is a pretty good stat
What we have to do now is turn our european performances on in the prem.
Very attacking on wednesday night and thats what Liverpool F.C. is all about pass and move, a joy to watch, excellent for the fans, It seems Rafa has got us playing how he wants but we are maybe still short of 3 players to be up there with the top 3.
I think we will get a result on saturday we will be much fitter and the team with the new players will be used to each other by now, plus Stevie is like a new signing this season compared to some of the half hearted performances we seen from him last season.
7 goals already, not bad for a midfielder.
What the team has to do this season though is no two different half performances one good half and one bad, we know they are better than that, and last season it was so bloody annoying, confusing and down right embarressing.
We should get 6 points out of the up coming games against Boro and Sunderland, and I expect nothing less we are the European Champs and we have beaten all before and we will do it again.
I hope Morientes starts firing them in he could have scored 5 the other night he''s still a yard off pace but he has great awarness and has great predatory skills, he is an excellent player and it would be such a shame, if he didnt show what he's worth this season.
He will even have a chance to get called up for Spain if he starts banging them in, so it will do his international status the world of good and it wont harm us either.
We have Xabi, Luis, Reina, Morientes? maybe 4 spanish internationals, not bad atall, plus the rest of our first teamers are Internationals, my point being against the likes of the hoof the ball up and hope, and boot everything that moves teams, we should be wiping the floor with these teams, e.g. the bitters, Blackburn, Bolton funny that they all begin with B perfect name to these no class no talent teams, that have the cheek to call themselves footballers.
But them tactics can only get them so far, as class always outshines in the end.
And we have a gulf of class in our team, and they have to show it starting from tomorrow.
I also think Rafa will have them playing 3 different styles of play, when plan A and B isnt working go with plan C, plan A being 2 upfront, plan B 1 upfront and a 5 man midfield, and plan C 3 at the back like we did against AC Milan in the second half of the final.
This will also confuse other managers not knowing how we are going to play and who will play.
And finally congrats Cisse, boy did we miss him last season you can see now why he is a 14 million pound striker, excellent attitude heard him talking after the game the other night, what a class fella I am over the moon for him that he recovered from his injury and has found his firing boots again, probably the fastest runner in the prem hes got deadly speed, defenders are going to find him a nightmare, I hope he becomes our Henry, lovely genuine guy.
Team against Boro.
Reina, Finnan, Carra, Hyypia, Warnock
Garcia,Xabi, Gerrard, Riise/Zenden
Morientes, Cisse.
We must start our best 11.
COME ON LIVERPOOL LETS SHOW EM.
