KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Ah balls, it's lashing out and i forgot my coat!

Yeah, although in the cases of Insua and Aquilani, they've had to wear different numbers because since going out on loan their vacated numbers have been taken by Danny Wilson & Raul Meireles.

some players have a shirt number preference, such as beckham with 7 then number 23

i think its all to do with making more money,in days gone by 9 was the centre forward picked that day, where as now 9 is carroll but some games when he doesnt play kuyt would be in the number 9 role but wearing his own shirt number.

I think a simple 1-18 matchday squad numbers should be the rules, its ridiculous some of the numbers they have, especially in italy some players where 99 or 77

Back in the olden days of 1-11, the players probably didn't have their own kits. Modern day players wouldn't be prepared to wear a kit that someone else wore last week. Plus the names are on the back of the jerseys now, so if a player was starting one week and on the bench next week he'd have to have different numbers. They'd go through so many more kits. So i'd say the current format is fine. I agree about the likes of 99 etc, that's ridiculous. I think the EPL has rules against that sort of thing though, and you need to get special permission if a number is particularly high.

heard mancity have got a no.454

I saw Poulsen on the bench the other day in his match kit. For some strange reason he's been changed to no. 45.

And the O, U, L, S, E and N were missing from the back of his shirt.

Odd..

Please no savage personal attacks on players unless its kuntchesky or jovoanovitch thanks

Whoops!

can't be any worse.
did anyone notice last season that konchesky couldn't even throw
the ball in to our players?

feel sorry for him actually he had about one good game for us, the thing that done it for me was when we conceded a goal largely because he stood behind the goalie for a corner and he was actually behind the goal line, when he should have been (assuming hodgson didnt tell him to do that) standing on the corner post like full backs are taught to do at school since time began
