Totally wrong about a player ?

[Ted]

Kieron Dyer. I was gutted we weren't in for him. My God, he's fucking shit. He should be made to pay back a huge portion of the wages he's done fuck all to earn. Like Kewell.

[Kevin D]

I thought trying to replace Xabi Alonso with Gareth Barry was a good idea. I also thought that Lucas would be able to adequately replace Alonso for at least a few months.

 

Who am I?

 

I was wrong about Johnson; in the summer I maintained that we had more pressing issues than RB and we'd be better served getting a steady cheap replacement in and trying to get someone like Cassano - I also didn't think Johnson was very good either defensively or in attack. I was mistaken; he's come into a struggling team, and until their performances started to take their toll on him, he's done a fantastic job.

[Ted]

I'm not really convinced with Johnson. He had a bright start, like but he looked really shaky before the injury.

[George Costanza]

that was rafa's influence

[Tom R]

before they've played a game for us - Diouf and maybe Crouch, for different reasons.

 

I never wrote Crouch off as a bad player, but I think it was me who invented "Luke Chadwick on Stilts". I didn't think a man that ugly could be good at football, but he was ace.

 

I was convinced Diouff would go on to big things. He did, but none of them good.

Cunt.

 

I still stand by Crouch looking like Chadwick on Stilts though, to be fair.

 

 

Once I've seen them play a few games for Liverpool though I honestly don't think I've ever been really badly wrong about a player.

 

I had serious doubts about Hamman for a while, but always knew he had it in him to be class. Never classed him as rubbish.

 

There's nobody in this current squad who will prove me wrong though. Most of them are just shit. No arguments.

That's a dark path you're heading down, George.

[robslappa]

Dirk Kuyt - I thought he would be a revelation after his first few games with us.

[George Costanza]

Crouch - thought he would have been a shit buy, couldn't believe when we first looked at him but he totally proved me wrong. Can't think of many others that have suprised me. I was disappointed with Kewell but he was just a fat lazy australian

[George Costanza]

That's a dark path you're heading down, George.

 

i gravelled the fucker.

 

Things might (probably will) get better but imo Rafa is/has having a negative effect on a number of the playing staff.

[Tom R]

oh, I was MASSIVELY wrong about Cisse before he signed as well.

 

massively.

[Tom R]

Anyway, whatever my record, it's about four thousand and fifty percent better than Rafa's.

[Thants]

Alonso, I never thought he would produce a consistent season like he did last year after 18 months of mediocre displays.

[YNWA12]

I thought Dossena looked good in pre-season, with those great cross field passes and all.

 

My expectation for Torres was that he would need at least a full season to get used to the pl. Same with Alonso.

[Kevin D]

I'm not really convinced with Johnson. He had a bright start, like but he looked really shaky before the injury.

 

Even for that he deserves credit. He's come into as disjointed a team I can remember and generally looked the part; that with no-one covering for him when goes upfield( I'm looking at you Mascherano); with no-one linking up with him properly or offering support you'd expect of a top side( I'm looking at you,Dirk); and alongside a defense that was in shambles, being expected to cover for Carragher's declining pace and the chaos that ensues when Insua is inevitably beaten by some journeyman.

 

It hasn't been easy for him at all and he's even had to curb his attacking instincs because the rest of the team simply weren't up to having a pair of adventerous full backs.

[Ted]

I think Arbeloa atttacked just as much as Johnson.

[J B]

Didi Hamann. The first half of his first season I thought he was rubbish, to my eternal shame. Then suddenly I just understood what he was all about. Legend.

 

Also Crouch, as has been said - was fucking gutted when we signed him and he was fucking ace.

[Kevin D]

Not as effectively or with the same adventure( very rarely would you see him get to the by-line) and, to be fair, Mascherano was nice enough to do his job last season and cover for him, something he's done very little of this year.

Well according to SpeedyG Mascherano has been doing the job of Alonso while Lucas has been doing the job of Mascherano.

 

Neither of them are doing very good impressions of who they're supposed to be, mind.

[George Costanza]

I think Arbeloa atttacked just as much as Johnson.

 

I liked Arbeloa but Johnson is different gravy

[Guest Ulysses Everett McGill]

I liked Arbeloa but Johnson is different gravy

 

Racist

[Lucky Pierre]

Yossi. And Crouch is a brilliant shout.

[Ted]

I prefer Arbeloa, really.

 

He's flying for Madrid at the minute.

[Juniper]

Cisse

 

Talked him up for an age before he joined, kept talking of his games/games ratio for club and country. Gutted.

 

Kewell

 

Do I even have to go into it?

[Kurt]

I thought Nigel Clough would be the perfect player for us.

 

I thought Paul Stewart was just what we needed.

 

I thought Cisse would prove a much better signing than Drogba.

 

I thought Christian Ziege would be ace.

 

I thought Houllier had lost his mind when he signed McAllister.

[Juniper]

Arbeloa

He's flying for Madrid at the minute.

 

Didn't know he had a pilots license?
