City will play their reserves, unfortunately their reserves are better than our first team. Oh well Championship team in the Final will be good.

Chris's spirit died with Lucas

Totally. Just fed up with this 'we exist to win trophies' bullshit. Daft to play him v Chelsea, daft not to have adequate cover for him, daft not to manage him properly and daft to overrely on him.
― Chris, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:00 (twelve years ago) link
I almost feel worse for you than Lucas. I wish Aquilani could come back to make everything better.

Igor Biscan has surely got nothing better to do. He can fill in.xxp

igor biscan was some legend on cm4 i'll tell the world
― Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:10 (twelve years ago) link
Biscan's wonder goal at Fulham in 04/05 is one of my favourite football moments of all time. That 'wtf how did I do that' reaction afterwards was simply heartwarming. Just beautiful.

Guys, relax - Jonjo's coming back.
Actually think this could mean more of a central role for Henderson, who has improved a lot in the last few games. And Gerrard must get fit at some point?
― Stevie T, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:28 (twelve years ago) link
Gerrard is done (allegedly)
― Number None, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 23:30 (twelve years ago) link
I wonder whether Agger could do it? Otherwise Henderson's the way to go I reckon.

Been reading up, and apparently fatigue does indeed have an impact on the damage done by even the most (seemingly) innocuous of challenges.

Thank God we don't have to listen to Bruce's faux-exasperated whinging about refereeing decisions in every single post match interview... for a while at least, he's the sort who always ends up with a job even tho he is shit and has never achieved anything. Wolves manager by the end of the season?

promise that i will refuse to watch Wolves so much as warm up for any length of time they spend with Bruce in charge
― Julie Lagger, Thursday, 1 December 2011 11:30 (twelve years ago) link
warm up? None of that new age nonsense from a steve bruce team.

His teams warm up by pulling pained what-have-we-done-to-deserve-this expressions, shrugging shoulders, sighing deeply etc

There were more questions, like: “One thing you couldn’t live without?”“My kids,” replied Speed. “I’ve got two at 14 and 12.”The final question was: ‘What item do you cherish most?’ Sometimes footballers go onto auto-pilot in interviews. They talk clichés, niceties and nonsense. Speed paused for a good 30 seconds.“Certainly nothing material,” he replied. “I don’t even know where my championship medal is from Leeds. So I’d say family. We’re an item and they mean everything to me.”
“My kids,” replied Speed. “I’ve got two at 14 and 12.”

God, yeah. You can see how depression must be a thing for some ex-players, losing an all-encompassing way-of-life and with not much to look forward to, but his circumstances don't seem like that at all.
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 1 December 2011 14:07 (twelve years ago) link
tho that's really not how depression works either tbf
― Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Thursday, 1 December 2011 14:09 (twelve years ago) link
I think it can be, but obviously that's not all there is to it. It's been recognised as a post-career thing in cricket for ages.

As Darragh said, that's not how depression works. More to life than football.

yup, great idea playing him so soon after city. him, reina, enrique and henderson shouldn't have been anywhere near stamford bridge on tuesday.

not like he got subbed off after an hour either

stupid him starting anyway, but he should've been off as soon as that second goal went in. really angry about this.

i'd
and i hasten to say this isn't fight-picking
imagine that, having spent several gdp's on central midfielders, if lfc are that badly off because one is out injured, dalglish might have some explaining to do.

am i missing the point completely? scientific research has shown that the body is more susceptible to all injuries if you do not get sufficient rest. there is no way lucas should have been playing on tuesday. correct? so why is every liverpool fan on t'internet refusing to acknowledge that it was daft to play him. am i missing something?
