KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Utrecht game

We've been linked with Utrecht's striker Van Wolfswinkel in the summer, i'm confused about what to wish here , mainly i hope we get the three points but i also wanna see that he's worth it

Yeah right!!!

Where's your sense of humor Mr Paul ?

Actually I agree with Ahmedmeza on a few levels. I want to see Utrecht play well, and I want to see that we're up to beating a team when they're playing well.

I remember a recent interview with the great Billy Jean King (female tennis legend, for those who don't follow the sport), when asked about what went through Roger Federer's mind when receiving the serve of someone with a reputation for having a fantastic serve. Would he be hoping the guy hit a fault or into the net so he could get a look at the second serve? She replied, "No. Weaker players hope for their opponents to make mistakes. Winning players are thinking 'Give me the best you've got; I'm ready'."

If we're hoping our opponents play poorly, then we're already doomed.

I have no idea why you would rest players this early in the season. We have no League cup any more. The FA cup hasn't started and if it was the Champions League we would be at full strength for every game. I think we need our strongest lineup to get the team playing the football they can

Brilliant speach and a fantastic anecdote that I am definitely going to steal, but this is where we are. We are not the Federer of football, we aren't even the Roddick of football any more. I don't sit back and hope Utrecht all have food poisoning and can't put any passes together, but I hope a side, with all due respect, of this calibre get dominated in midfield by our superior players and don't have enough of the ball to look good. We did that to Real Madrid once not so long ago, and now we are all on the edge of our seat cause we have a week with Utrecht and Blackpool on the agenda. That is how bad the manager has us playing.

Twitter from Lucas:
"LucasLeiva87: We´re going to Netherlands wednesdey to play one more Europa League match. I hope i can help #YNWA"

A few things he can do spring to mind!

we're only playing one more?

Nah he's just alerting us he's still alive

Oh yeah never spotted that

Maybe what he meant to say that he is only playing one more game, christmas came early lads!
