Champions World Series:Liverpool Vs AS Roma
-
Liverpool beat Roma 2-1
Late goal by Owen on the 85th minute give the Reds their second win. -
Anyone watched the match "live"?
The reports are out at lfc.tv. Apparently, it was a good match with us being the stronger team. Goals by Cisse and Owen in each half more than cancelled the opener by Roma... wonder if Mexes has any regrets not joining us?!
Great to end the tour on a winning note...Austria here we come
-
I never seen that match on TV , I thought Owen scored with his only chance of the match for the winner ?
Whatever it is , a good win !
And I think this is almost the squad that will play this season EPL campaign , a very strong squad ! Except I wouldn't mind if Dudek can give way to Kirkland !
First 11 hopeful :- Kirkland
Josemi
Carragher
Hyypia
Henchoz
S.Gee
Riise
Kewell
Biscan
Owen
Cisse
Subs :- Pongelle
Baros
Finnan
Dudek
Murphy
Hammann
Woo.....we are a force , hopefully others don't see us as a force !
-
Looks like have to watch the replay (if there's a replay)
livescore.com is showing M.Baros scoring the winning goal
Liverpool website is saying M.Owen grabs the winner.... so its Owen is it?
Think livescore might have mixed up M.B and M.O
Cisse and Baros start then it has to be Owen. -
Liverpool gonna push hard 4 glory this season sia... wif their quick attacks. But i still feel they need 1 more, juz 1 more player, a right sided player. Smicer injured or not doesnt make a difference 2 me, n to play Gerrard there will b a waste, n Finnan is too "uncreative" so to speak to play there.
I really hope that Liverpool can sign players like Maniche or Rosicky. those players will really make Liverpool complete.
Goalkeeper: Kirkland
Defense: Josemi, Carragher, Hyypia, Riise
Midfield: ??? , Gerrard, Hamann, Kewell
Forward: Owen, Cisse -
replay is tonight midnight.
i think murphy should play.. he seems to pair up well with cisse -
Yes , right sided midfielder , no doubt about that , especially Smicer is going to be out for 6 months !
Have you heard of the rumour , Damien Duff is on top of our list ?
Personally , my opinion , we need no Rosicky or Maniche , both defensive midfielders , we had enough of defensive midfielders , Biscan , Gerrard , Diao , Murphy sometimes , Hamann.....do we need another to keep for the reserves ? -
apparently benitez prefer dudek to kirkland.... so sad kirkland have to be on the bench...
anwaya this is my ideal liverpool formation 3-4-3
defenders
hyppia
carragher
henchoz
midfield
gerrard
hamann
biscan
risse
strikers
owen
baros
cisse
do u guys think this is feasible?
-
I caught the delayed telecast.
Still,I don't think Liverpool played as well as they did against Celtic.
So we finish the tour with 2 wins and 1 defeat.Same record as Chelski.Several players have done themselves good so far.Notably,Igor Biscan,probably the most improved player at the club since Benitez's arrival.[B]Biscan is really pushing Hamann for a first start[/b] alongside Gerrard.Harry Kewell and John Arne Risse have impressed on the left.And of course,new boy Djibril Cisse.
Looking into my crystal ball,I can already see Benitez's starting 11.
Starting 11
Dudek
Risse
Hyppia
Henchoz
Carragher
Kewell
Gerrard
Biscan
Murphy
Owen
Cisse -
We need a playmaker... or at least a right winger. Left we are well covered, with Riise and Kewell for midfield.
Murphy played like as if he has played with Cisse the last season. -

The next best thing , a good consolation , benitez tested Zac Whitbred and Stephen Warnoch , which is good !
Although Whitbred made a mistake in that Porto's game , Benitez still played him alongside Carragher for the second half of Roma's game !
Stephen Warnock is okay for the left side , still got a lot to learn though !
I personally felt that Benitez wants at least two Top fella for each department ! If you aware of his strategy !
Centre halves : Hyypia , Henchoz , Carrahger or Josemi , or even Young Whitbred
Right Back : Finnan , Josemi or Carragher
Left back : Stephen Warnock , Risse
Central midfield : Gerrard / Diao / Biscan / Hamann
Right midfield : Murphy / ???
Left midfield : Kewell or Riise
We need at least one more player on the right i.e ! Smicer would be unlikely for the first half of the season !
Bring in Luis Garcia from Barcelona ...or Javier Saviola would be ideal ! -
yaya right MF man!!! Smicer, regardless injured onot, wont make any difference!! sometimes i wonder y Liverpool ddint bring in Mendieta when he was unwanted at Lazio, and Gronkjaer when chelsea sell him on discount to a moron club like Birmingham, wat a waste!!! Liverpool should have bid 4 him...
i can only hope that the right MF slot will b filled by some1 really gd, like when Macca was playing there. Smicer and Diouf are jokes to that slot... mayb try Simao or Van Der Vaart??? -
Get Shaun Wright Phillips!
-
Hahaha...Van Der Vaart , our forgotten man !
He'll cost us a bomb to bring in !
Anyway , his favourite position is playing behind the two front man , like Jari Litmanen !
Bring on Real Betis' Denilson ! He's the best right wing wizard I ever seen for Brazil ! -
Gronkjaer could be a good bet.
He like going forward into the danger zone and take shots. Too bad our new boss dont fancy him. -
hard 2 believe some1 like Gronkjaer goin 2 boringham.... wat a waste... If only Benitez saw him as a bargain n bring him in, den Liverpool would b complete
