Well I'm not expecting the first XI to play the whole game but at least start with your first XI and give the fans some value for money, the tickets were £70 a pop ffs!!!

Seriously now, if you had paid that for your one chance to see Liverpool play would you have been happy with the effort they were putting in? They were being bossed in the first half ffs and by the team fighting against relegation in the Norwegian league, it's a joke and not exactly inspiring.

Very dissapointed with Nando, he looked liek he could not give a feck and was just walking around, at least Riera, Benny, Kuyt and Stevie put on a bit of a show.

Also Spearing has fallen in my estimation, he was very poor today and as for Lucas and wash, well don't get me started.

People paid a lot of money to watch a Liverpool team lumber through a match and at times be outclassed by a team bottom of the Norwegian first division, not good enough.

1 and a half weeks before the start of the season and we look , maybe whiskey nose was right and we don't have a chance this year.

Personally if I played in a team that got humiliated 3-0 then I'd want to prove myself in the next match I played not out top pros though.

Comedy gold.

i think Red used the word plank - seems pretty much spot on to me

Care to explain yourself, in what way is it funny that Liverpool played so badly, what's the joke in playing that badly just before the season starts. Where's the joke in disrespecting your fans?

by **GYBS** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 8:29 pm

Im sorry but where the hell has this disrespecting the fans boll.ocks come from ?!?! just because the manager didnt play the players you wanted him too ?? Its a pre season game i think your expecting too much .

I was expecting the lads to put in some effort GYBS, especially after having been humiliated by Espanyol, I know you wallow in mediocrity but I want to win and win well.

BTW Well done with the name calling, I thought this was supposed to be a new start?

It's the second to last preseason game GYBS so I would have expected Rafa to start with a first XI team, that's what he did last time he played in Norway. The result was a far more exciting game that the tedium and apathy I just witnessed.

have we been drinking too much of the pontin or something my Irish chum, are you not able to formulate a sentence any more, what is it that you disagree with exactly?

Or just insult me again, it's easier isn't it? :no

by **GYBS** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 8:36 pm

i would rather wait until the new season actually starts for the full players to play - we lost reira tonight through injury - imagine if that was torres or gerrard who got injured because they played on a poor pitch - we have one more game of pre season left where i expect the majority of the first 11 will play due to it being at anfield .

Im so sorry Rafa disrespected you by not playing the players you wanted him - or the fact torres didnt go 100% in a meaningless friendly or the fact we played most of the second string and won 2 nil pretty comfortably it seems going by the reports of what everyone else says .

by **GYBS** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 8:37 pm

Heimdall - Rafa didnt play the players you wanted him to do - oh well im sure you will get over it - all your doing is sounding bitter and a little bit silly.

It wasn't 20Mil I think it was 15Mil maybe 17.

btw the Times still reckons we are meeting with Valencia reps to talk about Silva this week.

I'd love to see you try and play a match after even half of one of the training seasons Rafa puts these boys through. These games serve as nothing more than a bit of competitive match ready fitness. There's a reason why we are playing wee small teams. It both helps them get a bit of coin and TV coverage and the fact that they can say they played with the likes of Gerrard and Torres to their grandkids, and the fact that it makes it somewhat easier on the players after going through the real fitness test with the day's training seasons, seasons of which Rafa has down to an absolute science preparing for the real games to come. Did you notice the yellow badges the people in the crowd were wearing? RTK badges, which means some of that money will be going to charity. It's a win win situation for everyone and just a day out for the fans to see their players on the pitch. Would you prefere if the likes of Torres and Gerrard went at it full pelt and tore a hamstring? Don't be daft.
