Well were down 1-0 and the foul which led up to their 2nd goal was actually supposed to  be a freekick for us but thats footie . I had this feeling that larsson would score from the free kick and he did . So after that , pennant had a stormer , put in some lovely crosses , beat players so well and what a run to set up the first goal , without him today we would have lost , good finish by crouch also . 2nd goal took abit of luck the header was deflected but a goal is a goal . I have to say plessis did very well , some really good and neat passes , played some nice long balls , if i recall 1 straight to pennant's feet and it was more of a shot . Lucas i reckon was his worst game for LFC , made some decent passes but like most of the team was not in it today . Riise played well also , looked like the only player who wanted to score before pennant stepped up . MOM Pennant

Babel Vs Pennant

Left winger Vs right , clearly they play on different side and the rock suggested that pennant shud start on wenesday , but i beg to differ , if pennant does start in place of who? Babel , he plays on the left whereas pennant plays on the right , pennant may have the skills but babel has the pace and certain skills . So you may argue that both are right footed but babel has been playing left all season and is more familiar with that role then pennant .

Kuyt vs pennant
Both are right wingers but tbh , i rather see kuyt , hard worked and we are going to need that against chelsea at stamford bridge , also he pops up with the odd goal now and then

Pennant has been good in his last 3 games or so and it shows as long as u play a player regularly he performs like hw jermaine has done . He should start the final 2 league games and that would tell us if he deserves another season or not . My vote is yes

Insua , good game for him to get experience , defensively was ok and though he put some good crosses in should also play the last 2 games if we progress into the cl final, roll on the chavs

A decent result considering the hole we dug for ourselves.  Not nearly enough effort from many of the lads, though.  Fair play to Pennant, he was the best player on the park.  As for the idea of maybe giving him a game against Chelsea on Wednesday, IMO, it might be worth a gamble.  I would, however, play him in his natural position and switch Dirk over to the left in place of Babel.  Pennant's run Ashley Cole a little ragged in the past and I think he relishes that match-up.  On the left, Dirk could keep pestering Ferreira into mistakes and also cut inside on his right foot, with Riise providing width on the overlap.  Just a thought.

  He performs against top teams too , chelsea last season and Ac milan in the final last season unlike that sh!te ronaldo

That in itself doesn't make sense, he's "playing well" so maybe we should play him.............. 

But take into account two of the opposition - Fulham (19th) and Brum (18th). Don't recall him playing that impressively against Arsenal, I might be wrong.

Anyway Kuyt has been playing well wide right and the team has in the new formation so why change it simply because Pennant shows he's a world beater if the world only includes cr ap teams??!?!?!

Do you see Pennant tracking back like Kuyt and helping the Defence no . Kuyt fills in as right back often giving who ever is playing there the chance to go inside and help the centre halfs. Pennant has nowhere near the engine to get up and down the field like Kuyt. Also his tacklin and ball winning well lets just say hed give to many free kicks. And thats something i dont want.

Im not saying Pennant is no good    but i would not play him in front of Kuyt on Wed. Kuyt has earned the right to start there .

Agreed nanny

And on Simari's post , yes mate i rmb how nervous you were with the 1-0 lead at anfield up till the own goal

Yeah, but the Mancs and the press were blowing their loads over Nani and Anderson, as well as some people on these forums. All hype if you ask me. People were saying how it was a poor signing by Rafa. For 4 million, it's an inspired one if you ask me. Certainly makes the signing of Nani look like a farce that it was

Yes but Benyoun has been here for a while and is much much older

Nani imo is miles better thn benayoun .... due to the fact nani has to settle into england and is quicker and more skill and better shot

Proves nothing. In my opinion, if you sign a player for 17 million, then he better be up to scratch in his first season regardless. He should be world class. He isn't.
