Rodgers In

[Coro]

You really think that they didn't play in the middle together in either of those seasons?

 

It was Rafa though to be fair and we had a different team and formation every single game for most seasons he was in charge so it's easy to get confused.

 

The 08-09 season in particular generally involved us battering mostly the crap sides with whatever formation we played but struggling a lot more than people seem to remember down to Rafa not playing Gerrard and Alonso together enough and being too negative. We would invite teams on, we would concede, sometimes even 2 goals. This would be followed by some changes by Rafa on the 65, 75 and somewhere in the 80th minute usually involving getting another forward on and Gerrard coming deeper. We would then pull it back. Due to a lot of luck we pulled it back to a win 10 times in that season. Something which is obviously not sustainable. That's why 09-10 was an accident waiting to happen.

 

People got far too carried away when Gerrard was pushed forward. Not all his goals came because he was in that position and not all of them came with him even playing there. Considering it is praised how great an asset it was to have Gerrard behind Torres do you actually know how many assists he created for Torres in the league that season according to Opta?

 

I will tell you. 1.

 

We had such a great year that season because Rafa had signed some of the best players in the world. The reason we didn't win anything is because he turned into that fucking bad of a tactician he fucked it up. Not playing Gerrard and Alonso more regularly is what cost us.

 

EYE AIDS

 

That is such a bad post.

 

Really fucking bad.

[Delmar]

Would you have Hamann in your Liverpool team of the decade 00-09?

 

I know I would not.

 

In midfield Gerrard, Alonso, and Mascherano would be before Hamann for me. But it would also depend on the match. First 11, maybe not, but not far.

[zigackly]

How have I belittled him though, I've said he was a decent player

 

There you go. Hamann was a superb player, not a decent one.

[mht1892]

He was a superb player no doubt about it.

[aRdja]

In an orthodox 442 you would struggle to find a more balanced pairing than Gerrard and Alonso. Whilst Gerrard is more attacking, Alonso isn't completely defensive minded and vice versa.

 

Too bad we never really lined up that way.

[aRdja]

How on earth was Hamann Gerrards best partner, how does that one work out?

 

Didi was a decent player, he deserved his place in the team when he was here, but he could easily be improved upon as we did when Mascerano replaced him in the team.

 

I'd say thats about it really.

 

Would you have Hamann, Vieira or Keane in your team?

 

Change Hamann to Alonso or Mascherano, and the answer would probably still be Vieira as he was an unbelievable player.

 

Vieira and Keane were more akin to Steven Gerrard though. Hamann is more comparable to Gilberto or Nicky Butt, of which he is about 10 times better.

My sweet lord, there's some bad eye aids in this thread

[The Tott]

Hamann was a decent player, nothing more really.

 

I really dont know what to say

After last night's hysterical result for Villa I thought I would post this little gem I received from the Norwegian cunt a few weeks ago. Sums his views up perfectly.

Fucking hell, that screenshot's the neg equivalent of Murphy being surrounded by Clarence Boddicker's crew in the steel mill.

Well, you've just gone up in my estimation. The little leg likes a ritual negging. Only when I can't neg back, though; it's like he actually cares about it.

I think Code has an Outlook reminder that pops up weekly and says "Neg The Guest"

Haha I love it really. I seem to piss him off quite a lot. Seeing as he spends most of the time being the WUM on here, I see it as my role to give the thick cunt a taste of his own medicine.

 

Everyone disagrees on here and it wouldn't be as good without that but he's just on another planet.

He's definitely not thick, and I don't think he is a cunt, but those negs reveal a petty side to him he doesn't tend to show on here. I can see why people get wound up by him as he doesn't debate, he just types his opinions over and over.

The thing is Hank if you sent him a message saying "Yes I am" the thick cunt would probably say "Why are you sending me a message, you are obsessed" etc.

That made me laugh. He's a deluded freak.

[spider-neil]

Hamann was superb at his job but no way would he be in my Liverpool midfield of '01-'09

[FrenchEyeGlass]

Haha!!! So true! Thats exactly what he is like.

 

He cant win any argument with logic (probably because he lacks it) so he resorts to "you've never played football" or petty negs.

Since we're in a sharing mood.

 

I answered with this to his seminal "If Rodgers was sacked tomorrow poll":

 

"I'd become immediately erect that an internet parody of himself had yet AGAIN demonstrated his infallible knowledge of football. It would make everything feel warm and safe and certain. I'd wonder what FSG were thinking of if they didn't immediately recruit such a bastion of wisdom to the newly vacant position, before ensuring all pictures of Rafael Benitez on club premises were taken down, in case he tried to eat or fuck them after his appointment."

 

And got "What sort of stupid name is terry terry anyway" via neg in response. (Granted it is a very, very shit name).

 

I answered with this to a trademark creaking witticism he'd left for Lurtz:

 

"I know you'll "neg" me for this like you do over any criticism, and by fuck does that sting, but comebacks like this snappy pearl and "what sort of stupid name is terry terry anyway", have all the wit, snap and charisma of a Dalek, or being kind, Arnie at his wooden best.

 

I'll be ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-ack. With some stats no-one gives a fuck about."

 

And got "aye" via neg in response.

 

Made me chuckle. I reckon the neg for this one would have included "girly man", had I not suggested it here myself.

I can see that point of view Red.

 

When I first started reading the forums a few years ago I remember seeing him getting a lot of shit from people. I used to read the stuff he would write and find myself agreeing with some of his points and obviously disagreeing with some. I used to think why do people think he's that much of a wanker.

 

To me it's obvious now. You forget that if you haven't conversed with him that much then you won't have seen the snide messages he sends because he doesn't want to reveal his full opinion on the forum. The thing that makes this laughable is that his opinion is already the most ridiculous and least respected on here.

 

He mostly negs me with a question or a point in response to something written in a thread. Most of the time he doesn't respond in the threads because he knows he will get found out. You send him a message back and he flips out. I genuinely think he is thick. Why the fuck would you spend most of your day, every single day on a forum where most of the people are either laughing their tits off at how stupid you are or they simply despise you?

[Dr Nowt]

If the text of Code's next neg to him isn't "does it hurt, does, it, hurt?" then he's missed a trick.

[Code]

Ah its the guest, the guy who keeps sending me abusive PM's all the time.

 

Lovely.

[Duff Man]

Weirdos.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Rodgers strength seems to be his coaching of players, someone like coutinho from what I've read could do well under him.

 

I'm in the wrong thread aren't I.... Aren't I. You guys.
