Xabi

[Brownie]

What a fucking man. He was a gladiator tonight.

 

I never thought he would ever go up in my estimations but he couldn't be any higher after tonight.

 

I fucking love him.

[Karl_b]

Imperious, majestic, beardy.

 

Leg.

[Crazyhorse7778]

Badass, doesn't take no shit, beard.

[Ponz]

He's otherworldly at times.

 

I'll be devastated if we sell him.

[Red Mist]

He was brilliant, save for that loose pass that let fat boy score. Can't believe Rafa is contemplating selling him. What a sublime footballer.

[ratcatcher]

Gareth Barry? No thanks!

[gaz181]

Superb tonight, at fault for one of the goals but appart from that he ran the show. Kept going 'til the end and hopefully he was telling Drogba what a twat he is when they had a long conversation at the end of the game.

He misplaced a pass, but what the fuck was Aurelio doing just strolling behind him watching Lampard run into space and get a tap in.

[Faustus]

He's absolutely immense.

 

I really, really, really hope he's still here next season. We'd be a poorer side without him.

He always seems to raise his game just that little more when Gerrard is out, superb performance tonight.

[James Dean]

Class.

I agree mate, we gave away some bad goals tonight.

[RedKnight]

He can totally run the show if Gerrard is absent, I love him, my most cherished footballer both on and off the field.

[manwiththestick]

I'm currently sporting some stubble which i was going to shave off in the morning, i am now leaving it and going into work (full of mancs and blues) and going to rock it in honour of Xabi.

[Paul]

He's a great, great player in my view. He just makes sense in Red, doesn't he?

[lukem]

I was fuming at Aurelio for that and everyone around me just looked at me gormless.

[Bernard Diomede]

He can totally run the show if Gerrard is absent, I love him, my most cherished footballer both on and off the field.

 

Same here mate, if he leaves this summer I reckon it'll be on a par with when fowler left in terms of how gutted i will be. I love him that much

[Tossed and blown]

Seemed to go up to Drogba at the end and say "If you get the final, don't roll over for them vermin cunts again"

 

 

 

 

 

(Or words to that effect)

[John101]

Felt like i had been kicked in the stomach when they scored.

 

Then i saw Xabi running to take a corner and it just made me smile

[derykw]

I thought his passing was terrible at times as it was on saturday. I really do like him but I still think he`s overrated.

[NIred1]

He gets what being a Liverpool player is all about. Class personified.

[J B]

First and only player I've ever seen who almost every time can actually pick out a better pass than the one you're screaming out for from the stands / on the telly. Mental vision, and the skill to execute it all the time. And a shit-hot beard. What more can you ask for really!

[Code]

Why do people criticising Alonso always add that they really like him?

[Royal Family]

If you'd have written this at half-time, I would have agreed. Unbelievable in the first half - that's what the man is all about. But second half, once Chelsea pushed up, he was nowhere near as effective (assist aside) - take off Masch (as Benitez insists on doing to our detriment - Athens 2007 anyone?) and Xabi isn't the same player.

[Royal Family]

Why do people criticising Alonso always add that they really like him?

 

Because he's class off the pitch - a true gent.
