Posted: Tue Oct 10, 2006 7:45 amF*cking hell..... I can believe our luck. Kuyt was the indestructable man at Feyenoord and he comes to Liverpool and gets injured. Lets hope that he is back as soon as possible as he was playing really well.

Posted: Tue Oct 10, 2006 7:45 amPosted: Tue Oct 10, 2006 10:18 amI think its nothing short of a joke in this day and age, "proffesional" federations in football where on a club level the stakes are so high the money so much. Yet their can't be a compromise made to ensure clubs get looked after, either compensated as Rafa said in the article above. Or the re-scheduling of fixtures, surely it can't be that hard, and the thing is for this to happen all the clubs effected by this must make the noise to be heard and something being done.
Posted: Tue Oct 10, 2006 11:20 amUpdate :Last night in the news papers , the injury is not that bad.
Maybe this weekend will be too soon but for sure he will be able to play next week.

Posted: Tue Oct 10, 2006 2:43 pmi appreciate the sentiments of ian rush here fully. but for me the fact that 'here' is the place where JC is revered the most only goes to aid our cause at the moment. the last thing we need is Carragher getting injured as well. but he does have a real point where the england set-up is concerned. players like King, Ferdinand, Neville and Terry seem to be the be all and end all for most of the previous regime as well as this. it is a travesty. but one that can only play to our advantage.

Leaving Carra on the bench is just a joke Oct 10 2006
By Ian Rush, Liverpool Echo
IF LEDLEY King and Jamie Carragher were made available for transfer tomorrow, how many top class managers would buy the Spurs man ahead of the Liverpool defender?
The idea there are three better English centre-halves than Carragher is laughable.
No disrespect to King, who is a great player, but Carragher's non-inclusion has become a bit of a joke.
I know people will say I'm biased, but I'm sure managers from other
countries, particularly those who've played against Liverpool in the Champions League, must be as astonished as I am.
Players like King and Rio Ferdinand seem to be rated higher because they're a bit flash on the ball and like to bring it out of defence.
Call me old fashioned, but I prefer defenders who defend first and foremost, and there are none better in England at that than Carragher.
If there was one defender in Europe, never mind England, who you could rely would throw himself in front of the ball to stop a goal, it would be him.
He's far too good to be an understudy, and given the selection on Saturday it seems he's not even that at the moment.
I'll bet he can't wait to get these internationals out of the way so he can get back to playing for his club again, where he knows his talents are appreciated.

Got to say Rush is bang on with that assessment.

Posted: Wed Oct 11, 2006 10:56 pmCarra got played on the left tonight and Crouchy got dragged off, all due to the misguided decision to play a 3-5-2.... There ain't another International till February now, what price Crouchy doesn't get picked for that one? Rooney's gone 14 games without a goal for England and they stick with him, Crouchy's drawn a blank in 2 matches and watch him struggle to get his place back now...
Posted: Wed Oct 11, 2006 11:16 pmi hope crouchy does get picked again, he deserves more credit than he gets. but im not ashamed to admit i nearly fell off my chair laughing towards the end..it could not of happened to a nicer fella. robinson couldnt have done much more than he did. but oh gary.... 
in all seriousness, a pointless exercise really.
great goal for bellamy though, he ran his socks off for 80 minutes and understandably tired at the end. that should lift his spirits.

Important stuff:
a) No injuries in our players
b) Alonso had 45 mins and bossed the midfield. Playing with Albelda against Sweden was a joke. Once Barça's Xavi realises who's the real boss and doesn't disturb Xabi, Spain's midfield will be even better.
c) LG 15 minutes between lines, quite lively
d) Reina couldn't do much in his goal, he was secure in the aerial balls, and showed his excellent ball kicking. Good game. If he had a bad game, Marca would be yelling so to defend the Madrid keeper.
