As good as De Gea is - would he fit into our style of play?

Of course DDG will not fit their style of play because Pool's style of play is being shit at the back
 
Rashford would have been off for the first tackle never mind the second (they were both exactly like the one Knockhart (spelling) was sent off for at the pit on Saturday)

:wenger:
 
Keep them coming guys. I missed seeing this thread bumped so rarely. Hope we get a great Liverpool/Klopp meltdown to end the season.
 
Another funny thing about that Paul Tomkins piece... his website header reads "Grown up veiws & intelligent discussion on Liverpool FC"
 
also @Alex99 's ''Diary of Aquilani'' after that predicting of Rafa-pool's Global Domination for the next 5 years, :D.

I'd completely forgotten about Aquilani, tbh.

Sadly, there's not enough room in the squad for Adam, Aquilani and Meireles.

Interesting, I don’t think I have ever seen De Gea rush out of his box in all his years here.

De Gea is perfectly capable with his feet though.
In DDG's defence he's probably more comfortable with a 1 on 1 than sweeping, he is fantastic at it.
 
Hahaha feck off, Daniel Dad!

I think I will spend the evening crying.
At least we can console ourselves with the Net Spend Trophy. I for one cannot wait for that open top bus parade.
Starting to think we're not gonna win the league.
Feels like a loss this.


When Coutinho showed no ambition by exiting Leaverpool:
Liverpool's going to get Barca in the UCL this season, and we're going to kick their ass.
Show Coutinho in 12 months time that his ambition to win titles can be fulfilled here rather than Barca.
Bigger club? Who's bigger than Liverpool?
Will be sweet when we beat Barcelona in the final and he’s watching it from the stands in his suit.
 
Oh God :lol:

Also the Tomkins article is a thing of beauty.

Right now though, we need to talk about De Gea:


Bold claim, surely, considering our defenders are all shite?



So the 'seriously protected' claim is in fact complete horseshit but now he isn't good enough for Liverpool because, if you'll recall, since Rodgers Liverpool prefer to field '11 footballers rather than 10 footballers and a keeper'.



Interesting.



But we're back to De Gea not quite being that eleventh footballer they're looking for. However in true broken clock fashion the truth emerges.

It would be wrong to say De Gea doesn't have parts of his game he could improve but the way they have to pick fault with all things United when their two keepers couldn't lace De Gea's boots takes the cake.
Karius and Mignolet could both play together and wouldn't even be as good as De Gea.
 
The more I read RAWK, the more I'm convinced it was created by David Gill and SAF as an experiment to drive the Scousers mental.
 
Somehow, this is even worse than the quotes above:

Do teams fear Steven Gerrard? You're damned right they do. He's got testicles the size of Jupiter's moons.
Do teams fear Raheem Sterling? If they don't, they are going to get torched.
Do teams fear wee Coutinho? They will, by God, they surely will.
Do teams hear the sound of cossack hooves at the impending approach of Le Czar, and quail? They should.
We go again. Fear ye any who stand in our way. The Reds are coming up that hill with fire in our eyes.
Behold, plastic villains, mancs and bitters, petrol gangsters and prawn-eating dandies, and despair.
We go again. Stand in our way and you will be trampled.
We go again.

Gerrard has sixty-nine testicles?

Behold what? Fear ye any? Most of this doesn't even make sense.

Also, I keep reading that fourth one as the sound of cossack hooves and quail:



Not too intimidating that.
 
I'd have thought that the horses had hooves, not the cossacks.
 
I'd have thought that the horses had hooves, not the cossacks.

:lol: That too! And why is he even talking about Cossacks and Czars in the first place? Why do they all talk like attendees at renaissance faires? Also, "impending approach." Aren't all approaches impending? They are true mentalists. :lol:
 
When reading some opinions on RAWK, you do understand how some people can never get along, why there is always war going on, why people of different beliefs can hate each other deeply. Wow, just wow.

They have not won the league in almost 30 leagues, they are always losing their best players, they have a relatively small stadium, they do not have the most fans, they come from an insignificant city known best for the Beatles - there is basically nothing going on for them in terms of success over the last ten years. Still they seem to actually believe what they are saying.

They actually cannot see the enormous difference between Liverpool (what, ave. 8th in the league the last ten years) and Barcelona.
 
“Who’s bigger than Liverpool” :lol: I hope somebody replied with a comprehensive list.
 
Johnno's back (says he's 72) - and handing out a bit of stick to anyone attempting to defend Jamie Carragher. Very good work, actually.

Rawkite, dull bit spoilered
Either we have many angelic, controlled and rational people on this forum or plenty of hypocrites. Looking at the vitriol and bile that’s given out after every game we lose, I’d say the latter.
If you’re over the age of 12 and have never done something you profoundly regret, that makes you blush with shame and wish you could wind back the clock, then you’re a very unusual, (boring?), person.
Carragher was an aggressive, gritty player and didn’t lose these qualities the minute he hung up his boots. That’s not to excuse his actions and I’ll guarantee he doesn’t want to be excused, but it shouldn’t be difficult for most of us to understand him and maybe some of us will admit ‘there but for the grace of god ……………..’
In the heat of the moment he’s done something shameful and now has to take his punishment. He’s also been stupid. Working in the public eye you get the big money but you’re the potential target of every dickhead armed with phone camera. Which is why anyone who chooses a public career these days either has to have the skin of a rhino or be mind-numbingly bland.
Jamie walked right into the trap. Dumb. Would Mr. Bigmouth Manc have tried his luck face-to-face with Carragher behind closed doors, no cameras present? Are you kidding? He’s done what we see on the pitch every week, goaded someone, dived and called on the ref for punishment, and he’s won.

Johnno replies,
It's not a case of hypocrisy though is it? It's a case of someone spotting a celeb close by and from what I heard on the vid more a case of an irritating but certainly a mild wind-up drawing an infantile reaction. Carra was out of order in his disgusting over-the-top response - no doubt about that. fecking hate spitting and the fact that he had to wind DOWN his window instead of up tells me he totally lost the plot and deliberately gobbed. What a clown. A few hundred grand gob eh?
 
Interesting, I don’t think I have ever seen De Gea rush out of his box in all his years here.

De Gea is perfectly capable with his feet though.

Partly because he is not only probably the best shot-stopper I've ever seen but also the best in a one-on-one when he holds his ground rather than trying to beat the forward to the ball. Remember that game (can't remember if it was vs City or 'Pool) when he outmanoeuvred Sterling in two separate totally unprotected 1v1s that both should absolutely have seen Sterling somehow put the ball in the net.

Rushing out is a gamble. If you time it right, great, the striker never has a chance to shoot at the goal. If you time it wrong, you concede a goal or get sent off. De Gea does not need to gamble, the odds are too heavily stacked in his favour if he just guards his posts.

EDIT: tl;dr:
In DDG's defence he's probably more comfortable with a 1 on 1 than sweeping, he is fantastic at it.

*mutters* bloody Hemingway...

Another tragicomic blast from the past:
I've seen Luis Suarez in many places, particularly Tesco Allerton, but I once saw Luis in Costa Coffee in the Albert Dock - it was empty so when I stood up we caught each others eye, he held my gaze momentarily and to this day I wish I'd said "we love you Luis". Alas I didn't but he knew.

Luis was probably a deer in the headlights to the sight of a grown man with hand in pants yanking violently while drooling latte.
 
I hear you. This'll be my first image post.

I never noticed the guy who held the camera. He did a fantastic movement with a classic zoom-out shake to create tension in the moment and emphasise the immediate despair. This is whole thing is art. Great videography
