KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Gerrard is England

Hopefully he shows some of that this season ! When was the last time Rooney scored eh ?

just the performance needed before a very difficult game against Arsenal. Gerrard's confidence is so high and he will be trying his best to make the difference. playing him with Torres, Cole and the rest on Sunday would really show our intent.

I hope the match ends up with a liverpool win or a tight draw. both results will keep LFC eager to win more games!

Torres wont play

its great that he won the game for england, well done to him but ffs he played for 82mins! Its just a friendly

2 exceptional finishes by the great man. let's hope he brings that form with him on Sunday and we smash the Ars-e-nal.

Hi all, first post and feeling nervous about it...
I saw in Stevie G tonight a release, like Fabio had said f'it, you go do what you do,' and I had a feeling that he has been similarly released by Roy.
There seems to be a return to the rampaging and joyous feel to his football, even his Hollywood passes are within two yards rather than seven or eight yards of his target. I feel if he is more 'on-board' this season, rather than raging at other things he can't control, he'll be back to his best. I can see positive stirrings already for this season, SG is looking sharp, Zidane-like close control for goal two was a revelation, did anyone else know that was in his locker? I've never seen another goal like that from him. If there are some, please post a link..

Anyway, great to join you guys, be gentle with me...

He's got a good 3 days to recover from that 82' but his confidence will be right up there after that.

Rooney was hopeless again and in a competitive match will get himself sent off for pushing defenders in the face like he was for the corners. The boy's got problems (again.)

Yup. 2 most excellent strikes from Mr Gerrard.
Let's just hope he carries on in the same vein now, and not resort back to last years sulky moody ways.

Anyone else notice just how excited Cappello got when he scored btw?
Christ on a bike, I thought he was going to keel over with a 'eart attack showing all that emotion.

Was he actually plugged in to a life support machine last night, or had the fuse blown?

agree with Growler,

It would be fantastic if the real Stevie G turns out for LFC this year.!

Stevie had an excellent game but to be honest I am not bothered about what he does for England- infact I would prefer that he retires from International football which will prolong his club career.

However the main point is that yesterday prooved his best position is behind the striker and not in midfield. This is where Roy has a big problem because Cole, Pacheco, Aqualini etc are also best behind the lone striker and we have too many players in that position.
