KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Pepe Reina Wants To Leave?

One big team as in for example Stoke then, who are in place 10 atm.

We're still waiting for a win even against a mid table team that is!

Wins so far in PL this season: 9

Against:
Fulham (h) 4-0 (league position 13)
Norwich (h) 5-0 (14)
Norwich (a) 2-5 (14)
Qpr (a) 0-3 (20)
Reading (h) 1-0 (17)
Southampton (h) 1-0 (16)
Sunderland (h) 3-0 (12)
West Ham (a) 2-3 (11)
Wigan (h) 3-0 (18)

The best team we have beaten so far is in other words West Ham, currently occupying 11:th place in PL that is! Shocking stats really!

Our 9 draws have come against:
Arsenal (a) 2-2 (league position 6)
Chelsea (a) 1-1 (3)
Everton (a) 2-2 (5)
Man City (h) 2-2 (2)
Man City (a) 2-2 (2)
Newcastle (h) 1-1 15)
Stoke (h) 0-0 (10)
Sunderland (a) 1-1 (12)
Swansea (a) 0-0 (8)

We are playing much better football than we have gained points from though, which is encouraging. But we need to start converting good displays into core points asap!

Just seen the goal on MOTD2. Pretty I defendable really especially as we had a defender back with him.

I've been a big fan of Jones. That game against Oldham, though...it's got me doubting him still a bit. Previous to that, I thought Jones could command the box and had excellent reaction time. I think the key for Jones might be to play more games, the downside to that is that we might be dropping even more points while he's finding his feet. On the other hand, we never know if Reina is going to be worse. Reina has made some horrible mistakes but like what has already been said, can still pull out some top class saves. We're not in a good position to deal with these goalkeeping problems. We are right outside of the top of the table, desperate to grab some wins and nick some points and we've two keepers that are both risks. As far as that mistake today, there is no excuse. I've seen a lot of people blaming Skrtel. In my opinion, whether or not Skrtel made a mistake is irrelevant, because there is no reason for Reina to try and chase a ball like that down with Aguero so close to it. Granted, I never thought for a second he would hit the net with that shot but all it would've taken for them to score was for Aguero to pass it back towards center field. Even if the nearest City player was 20 yards outside the box when he received the ball, with a few big strides and decently powerful shot they're going to score. I don't think Reina would've had the speed to make it back and save the shot.

Reading all these posts saying sell reina really does anger me. He has made a few mistakes this season but so have a lot of players, we have to remember he's been injured twice this season, he's not really had the chance to play a number of games in a row. I bet most of these people slagging him off were saying the same about Gerard a few months ago, and look how he is playing now. Every Player has dips in form and Im positive he will be back to his best in no time. Also I find it absolutely ridiculous that people are hinting towards making jones are number 1 keeper, is that some kind of joke? We signed him from Middlesbrough and I don't even think he was number 1 there. Selling reina would be a mistake and if we do you will be wishing for him back next season. If we sell him it will just be another step in the wrong direction, we need to build on what we have.

If we are aspiring for top 4, we simply need to improve on our weakest areas first.

Class is permanent and form is temporary, but tbqh Reina hasn't been CONSISTENTLY up to his former standard since the 2009/2010 season. That is a hell of a lot of time being out of form in my books!

What we need in order to improve and push for top 4 is one consistently good 'keeper and two consistently good CB's. We might also need a back up LB, but at this point I think we can make do with what we have. Agger might be a backup squad CB, but Skrtel is faaaaar too inconsistent and generally a mistake waiting to happen!

I don't care about sentiments like "poor Reina has just come back from injury" or the likes, simply because sentiment doesn't give us top 4.

Gerrard being out of form for a month or so does mean zilch, beacause everyone can see he is class! Sooner or later (not 3 years later) he will return to good form again. And even out of form he generally shows the spirit that no one else in the squad can match - apart from Carragher that is!

Consistently good players who show signs of improvement over time is what will get us back up the table and start pushing for top 4 again!

In his 25 games played this season, Reina has made a direct mistake leading to a goal 8 times

Pepe Reina says Liverpool can't compete in Premier League title race http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/...ague-title-race

He is a joke and need's to go.

What's he said that's not true?

26 points behind and admitting we aren't going to win the league.

Quick string him up.

Exactly.. It's true and I doubt any of the other players or even BR will disagree...

Like Dunk said in his latest video, Riena has done that many times before and actually won the ball.. Just because this time it didnt work out everyone is quick to judge and slaughter him...

He's the best we've got at the moment, Yes he might be off in the Summer but until them.. Support him.
