The Proclaimer Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Anyone see it? Quite a good game, Feyenoord were given a pen because the ball was kicked off Agger's face, and Steven Gerrard smacked some Lucius guy in the face with a sly left jab. The lad Royston Drenthe is a wee pr*ck as well. That is all. Link to comment
robbo Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 i thought it was dreadfully boring. the first 30 mins took an eternity to pass. the penalty was a joke. Full speed you could tell it was his face, the 1st replay i thought oh no, ref is right, good call....2nd replay, oh no, it was his face afterall. That boy Kuyt is a shower of sh*te IMHO. He may be full of running and put in a hard working shift covering 15km a game, but theres nothing else to him. Hes like the dutch Kiriakov Link to comment

The lad Royston Drenthe is a wee pr*ck as well. That is all. Saw the punch, thought it was rather funny as well. Sure I saw on Sky Sports News today a shot for Liverpool that hit the underside of the bar and cross the line but the goal wasn't given. Link to comment

Guest LondonScottish Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Kuyt is pish!!!! Some people rant and rave about the guy but I can't see it at all, I don't see what he fuss is about, he's there to put the ball in the net, and he doesn't do that for Liverpool. He was rated by Feyenoord and scored quite a few goals for them, but he's just not up to it in the Premiership in my view. He does score goals, and some pretty spectacular ones at that; his best moments video is probably fantastic, but he misses so many chances (some relatively easy) and taking those chances is what he's paid to do. He's got a lot of energy, and it'll be interesting to see how him and Torres hit it off. Link to comment
vanderark14 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Gerrard is a tink and nothing more. UEFA or somebody should ban him for punching that guy Link to comment

vanderark14 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 The incident was blown out of proportion completely. Gerrard is by far one of the best players to watch. He's a genius. take off the Liverpool specs for a second Robo. theres obviously no doubt the guy is talented. fans were justifying Gerrards actions yesterday by claiming he does this because he is a passionate guy - BOLLOCKS. there is no excuse Link to comment
robbo Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Gerrard is by far one of the best players to watch. He's a genius. ooh dunno bout that. hes incredibly lazy for long periods. hes the 1st one to let his head go down when things arent going his way. His only real involvement was the goal and the swing. other than that, you didnt hear his name much at all. Same for every match. Link to comment
The Proclaimer Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 Gerrard is by far one of the best players to watch. He's a genius. I wouldn't use 'Gerrard' and 'genius' in the same sentence. Very good player, I'll grant you that, but he's no Paul Scholes Dennis Bergkamp, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry, Eric Cantona, etc, are players that are worthy of the genius tag.

A bit hasty there. These guys are all the flair players that get the tag and Gerrard isnt like that. Gerrard is an outstanding centre mid whom i'd say is currently the best in England. Hopefully see him more in the middle this season than on the right. Link to comment

sheep_shagger Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Ronaldo has had one very good season and can make things happen but will have to be able to produce this continuously before i would be willing to place him in the genius bracket! Its just an opinion but his work rate and what he does for Liverpool cant be underrated. There are lots of other quality players down there but for me he currently heads the list. Who would you put above him? Link to comment
BobbyBiscuit Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Zidane was a genius. Maradona likewise. Steven Gerrard? No. Brilliant player, however. Link to comment

The Proclaimer Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 Who would you put above him? Paul Scholes and Michael Essien for starters Link to comment
sheep_shagger Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Paul Scholes of a couple of years ago then yes but last season i would definitely have taken Gerrard. Essien is a different type of player to Gerrard however. Link to comment

sheep_shagger Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Scholes was awesome last year. Gerrard wasn't.Different as in better?!? Giggs was awesome last year as was Ronaldo, Scholes was behind these two and Ronaldo. Gerrard carries liverpool most weeks and was brilliant. Link to comment

We'll just have to agree to disagree on this I think Link to comment

Gerrard carries liverpool most weeks and was brilliant. Sorry, but that's bollocks. Giggs tired from about Feb/March onwards. Scholes was in the top three for the Player of the Year and made United tick. The guy was amazing last year. Gerrard, by his own standards, had a quiet year. Link to comment

The guy was amazing last year. Gerrard, by his own standards, had a quiet year. Spot on. Gerrard, for whatever reason, was well below what he's capable of last year. Scholes was phenomenal. Some of the football he played last year was unreal, with the highlights for me being :- The ball hits the back of the net just as his right foot is touching the ground! A pass that very few players could pull off Link to comment
BTR Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Essien is a clogger. That said he is a very good clogger, quite possibly the best clogger there is. And I think Kuyt is a fantastic player for Liverpool. He and Torres I reckon could form a good partnership, however I have a sneaking suspicion that Voronin will play more often than Kuyt this season. Link to comment

A pass that very few players could pull off Have to say the moment that summed up Scholes for me was when he got the equaliser against Blackburn at OT. Side stepped three or four players then fired it into the bottom corner. Amazingly calm just when the nerves were getting rather frayed. Link to comment

Am I right in saying that was the game when Derbyshire scored for Blackburn? Link to comment
