KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum GET MARIO GONE!IM SICK OF HIM ALREADY

I watch La Liga regularly, have done for years and he isn't rubbish, far from it. Yes he's made mistakes like every goalkeeper.

I suppose you would rather Begovic who used to warm the bench at Portsmouth?

Genius

if u think valdes is better than begovic then thats all i need to know. convo over

He could well do it, thats the reason to persevere with him. If Lucas Leiva and many other inferior players can pursue lengthy careers with Liverpool FC, why can't we indulge Mario for a short period?

Get a grip non-believers.

Until Mario starts receiving quality service from our pyiss poor midfield

I fully support him..... Until he starts missing clear cut goal scoring chances
Again & agsin ... Then I will have a go at him

He missed an absolute sitter yesterday as well as against Everton and he shoots from all angles getting no where near the target!

More worryingly is his lack of application or attitude, he wasn't even watching when we took the quick free kick that led to Richard Dunne's own goal!

A bit harsh. I've got my reservations but let's look at a couple of points:

1) he plays best with a strike partner, not as a solo target man
2) he has scored plenty of goals at 3 top clubs prior to joining us
3) he has a good international record
4) he'll need to re-adjust to premier league football after spending last season playing at Serie A's pedestrian paced league

Plenty of players start slowly at a new club and go on to be a huge success. I can understand the frustrations but to write off someone with his record/CV after a handful of games when he had no pre-season, and is playing an unfamiliar role in a struggling team is extremely 'knee jerk'. Anyone expecting him to be a new Suarez simply has unrealistic expectations - that's THEIR fault not HIS.

Hmmm...

Valdes has been a regular for over a decade at the biggest football club in the world. The likes of Antic, Van Gaal, Riijkaard & Guardiola all made him their number 1. He has been an ever present whilst winning 3 Champions League and 6 La Liga titles....

Begovic has been out on loan 5 times in 5 years, has won sweet FA, and is highly regarded by tony pulis and mark hughes...

That's all "I" need to know....

Well said.

I hope you’re right Mr Ruddock, I was hoping Mario might knock in a few for us, wasn’t expecting 31 mind, but a few critical ones in key contests, but god its been a long time since he scored a PL goal! He did get one for us in the CL though, so maybe he’ll do it again against RM, but he’ll need more than one I feel if we’re to take anything from them, (that’s assuming Rodgers sticks with him and he may not). I haven’t written him off yet, and he may have got 2 yesterday if their defenders hadn’t intercepted and scored the 2 goals for him...wouldn’t you just hate that if you were in his shoes?? (why always me?!!!)

another stats man. valdes is weak, well weak..i won't even bother with the i told u so's if he does come here and make a balls of everything..too many i told u so's to dish out
