That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

Allen reminds me of xavi because he has this ability to find spaces in tight areas and that's the mark of a barca player. They make space and things happen. Allen will prove to be a key player for us.

Why didn't Spearing do it then? Henderson? You say anyone can do it so.... They don't do it for one damn good reason - it's pointless! Are you telling me that Allen is one of a select few midfielders in the world capable of rolling the ball to his nearest team mate over and over again? I would say that Allen is one of the few in the country that understands the need to keep the ball. Granted, it hasn't won us many games yet but do you really think that hoofing the ball up field all the time then having the ball come straight back at us is the way to win? And are you trying to tell me that Spearing and Hendo don't do it because they know its not worth it? Have they ever played the 40 yard killer pass? Allens job is to KEEP the ball. Give it simple to players like Gerrard who can then produce that final ball or go on a mazey and score. It's not hard to understand. And it's obviously not as easy as you say or the midfielders we had would have been utilised in this role.

pretty football, lots of posession but little end product? liverpool were great under roy and should have won the league in 1997 ,won the league cup semi finals of the ECWC and an F.A.Cup final , ok the team had it flaws but was a great team , and it would be nice to give brendan a chance to build a team , roy spent plenty of money brendan hasnt had much too spend . pity Roy Evans team played in the same era as arguably United's greatest ever team, could of been so different having said that it's still the closest team to of come to actualy winning a League title since we last won it.

Spanish guy took us to 2nd, cant get closer than that 2nd points wise yes but there was no actual belief in the team that we were actualy going to win it unlike the team Roy Evans had, Gerard Houllier also finished second but again there was never any real belief we would overtake Arsenal at the time, The Benitez team if I remember rightly was booed off a few times that season when finishing second because they were so poor, even a very poor Everton side dumped us out the F.A.Cup in the fourth round, like I say no real belief.
