Im not talking about goals,im talking about overall contribution to the team!
And Rieras has been a hell of a lot more than any of those you mentioned.Im not saying they have not contributed,they have but Riera has been more of a factor in our success so far than any of them.If you cant see that from watching football...give up!

You always do this with other posters,type balls then when your told your wrong you go onto other things.WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT GOALS HERE OK,it cracks me up reading it and now im sorry I mentioned anything!lol
LISTEN FELLA
You said this
"reira has contributed no more or less than lucas or kuyt or yossi this season which is exactly what i was saying"
Thats the bit i picked up on,the reason being its absolute sh'ite.You cant argue that because everyone knows its balls!

Sometimes its just best to say OK rather than argue when you are wrong!

GYBS wrote:yet the cup game he gave away the ball a bloody lot and was tackled very easily on a number of occasions with the ball taken off him plus he hasnt put two good halves together and has faded very quickly in games and been non exsitant in plenty of others . Also the cup game showed us we missed kuyts workrate and energy as someone has suggested already . Yeah reira has done well for us this season but not outstanding . Has contributed and given us balance but hoping he can give us more , including better crossing and passing and more crucial final balls .

Kuyt is rubbish lad.

Absoloutely rubbish and you're comparing him to a class act like Riera?

Shut up.

GYBS wrote:my opinion and pretty happy with it . If you dont like it then oh well tough shi t deal with , you stick to thinking players like cheyrou are class . That worked out well for us didnt it . Showed your skill off rating players there didnt you stu . And simari seen plenty of the games and still think the same . The guy is a decent player for us and done well at times but still got a way to go yet . Still would of prefered someone better out there but he is doing a decent good job for us .

Well yer opinions wrong.

GYBS, if you honestly believe this, then I have serious doubts that you have even been watching the games.

To suggest that Albert Riera has a. contributed the same as Kuyt in the wide area and b. is no more talented than Kuyt et al is blind beyond all reason.

Every game that Riera plays (even on his off days), he proves quite clearly that he is head and shoulders above Kuyt, Yossi and Lucas. Granted, the latter players of that three have had limited time on the pitch, but even at that, it's clear that Riera's efforts on liverpool's Left flank has given the team a whole new branch of attack, that was quite simply missing for a very long time.

Albert Riera has single-handedly widened Liverpool's game. Before that, everything was down the middle of the pitch, as Kuyt and Babel are terrible on the flank positions.

Kuyt may have a couple more goals (not to sure about assists), but this could be due to the fact that the dutchman remains on the pitch for 90 mins and Reira routinely gets subbed for Babel due to Rafa's idiotic subbing policy. Riera's goals have been far more impressive though and overall, he possess are much better shot that Dirk. But at the end of the day, it's not just about goals. Wide players tend not to get a hell of a lot of goals, Joe Cole and Ronaldo notwithstanding.

The bottom line is this, when Kuyt, Yossi and Lucas don't play, Liverpool don't miss them too much. When Riera is gone from the Left flank, he is sorely missed.

I'd wager that 90% of Liverpool fans would rather see Bennayoon, lucas and kuyt gone from the side before Reira any day of the week.

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion, but your opinion is flawed.

Different people can have many different opinions to me and I'm perfectly fine with it. Infact it makes quite interesting debate more often than not.

What annoys me is when idiots talk rubbish about things they know nothing about, arse lick and look through rose tinted specticles and state things like "in their opinion a square has 5 sides". It doesn't and it never will. You're perfectly entitled to have that opinion, you will however recieve stick for it as its nonsense, much like everything you post (as everyone seems to be telling you).
