Garcia is a forward. Biscan isn't a wide midfielder. Warnock isn't a right sided player.

makes me wonder why people slated players who were being played out of position under Houllier. Biscan?

Because under Houllier he didnt play well position or not but am delighted he's picking up now and I hope he makes the lot of us eat humble pie at the end of the season

I thought you said you went the game yesterday Paul, did you not see Partridge set up our two goals, miss out on a clear penalty and have an excellent game ?

Patridge was excellent on his loan to Coventry 18 months ago.

Apparently Ferguson enquired as to his availabilty in 2000/2001 as at the time Ferguson thought he was a good long term bet to replace Beckham.

Leon, it was actually Potter who closed the ball down for Mellor's second goal.

I hope that the Reds can bounce back by annihilating Palace on the ground that is Anfield. I am still in shock as Birmingham beat us in a game that we clearly dominated from the start. We created more chances and we played better and we lost. One lousy mistake cost us 3 points which we should had gotten.

Sami Hyypia still concerns me. Had he been a bit faster he could had cleared the ball off the line before the ball went into the back of the net. His mistake against Blackburn also had costed us.

Jamie Carragher,Djimi Traore,J.A.R.,Milan Baros and Igor Biscan are just some of the players who have improved under Benitez. We continue to improve in every game but we must score when we have the chance otherwise we will have the type of matches like we did against Birmingham. I believe in the meantime whoever partners Baros can get the job done as far as goal scoring is concerned.

We have two players who are going to return within a week or so. Steven Gerrard has shown his passion for this club as he has recovered faster than expected. Antonio Nunez has been praised by Benitez so hopefuly Nunez will be as good as Benitez says he is.

Crystal Palace have improved in the past few games. Their confidence has been raised especilly after getting a point from Arsenal. They will be looking to creat a shock at Anfield but I expect the Mighty Reds to show their class and pulverize the Eagles.

After Palace we will have hectic fixtures. Middlesbrough away, Arsenal home, Aston Villa away,etc.... We did not get 3 points from Blackburn or Birmingham which we should had as they were easy fixtures but nothing is for certain in the Premiership.

Benitez has made in impact within a couple of months and did something that Houllier was never able to do, which is getting the best out of the players he has bought. I.E.: Igor Biscan and Djimi Traore. Compare their performances under Houllier and now. Huge difference and all due to the fact that we have a manager who is 10 times better than Houllier imo.

Slowly Benitez is waking up the Sleeping Giant that we are. We can only hope that the Giant will be able to wake up from a deep slumber by the end of the season which will gives a chance to challenge the Premiership next year.

thats weird, Aldo and the other Dude on the radio said it was Biscan who intercepted, who then gave it to Potter, who gave to Partridge, who set up Mellor. The bottle of Miller i was swiggin from whilst watchin the highlights obstructed my view of the T.V. to know myself.

Nope, Boro had the ball, Zenden turned and Potter anticipated it, closed it down, won a tackle on the 18 yard box and it fell to Mellor who finished.

You described the first goal Jim.

He came on for Pongolle and gave us some genuine width.

Mellor deserves to start ahead of Pongolle and Partridge too as he is our only fit right sided midfielder.

Partridge and Mellor are in the same boat as they are not kids anymore and it's a case of now or never.
