that 'pass' from carroll just now..i can't even...

Absolute-best probably Suarez or still Lucas. Reina as well, you just get used to him though.
Playing-to-potential best is what the question really means though, right? Johnson's a good shout, maybe Enrique too. Adam's been much better than I'd expected too.

Lucas was laughably good. That run of Chelsea, City, Chelsea were the 3 of the best individual performances I've ever seen. Other than him, Johnson, Skrtel and Enrique have all been consistently terrific this season.

Thinking though, the CBs must've been rocks, but I can't say I've really noticed.

not sure that's offside there. Bugger.

Sensational move, what a pity! Enrique being all Gerson(?) in 1970.

If Adam hadn't peppered his first few games with daft shots from the halfway line and ridiculous passes then he'd be in with a shout.

luckily blackburn had crap quality on the cross cos LFC napping at that corner.

we will wait until the last game of the season before deciding to take a proper share of our chances leading to a 7-0 win and optimism for next season.

Thinking though, the CBs must've been rocks, but I can't say I've really noticed.They have been, they compliment each other so well. Skrtel looks a lot more comfortable alongside Agger than Carra. Beast in the air, defends on the front foot, goal threat from set pieces and not afraid to venture forward like Agger. Lots of question marks over him but he's been great this season, and also very under-rated last season too.
did you see gary nev's analysis of Lucas' performance against City Chris?I did. Was already aware of how good he'd been, but to see it from that aerial POV just focussed on him was a real treat. Thing is he wasn't just snuffing out attacks, and he wasn't just doing that last season. There was some serious Xabi Alonso-esque control going on, not even joking. Those last 3 games were breath-taking.
My 4-0 prediction for today isn't looking too promising.

Never mind.
Managerwatch: I've mentioned before that my mate's dad was a coach/kind-of-mentor to Steve Kean when he was at boys' club level. He (the dad) was round at ours a few days ago and I took the chance to grill him, but he had nothing but good words for our hapless hero conqueror of Anfield. Lovely lad, hard worker, good listener, always did what he was told, no ego, no complaints.
The sad thing is that SK always enjoyed taking his wife and young son along to watch the team, but he can't even do that anymore because the abuse has got so vicious and personal that the little lad gets too upset.

can i just say i think i was right about liverpool this season

hm think you also claimed bolton in no danger of relegation...so.
― pandemic, Monday, 26 December 2011 15:56 (twelve years ago) link
the nature of the abuse levelled at Kean is sort of out of order but can i say i'm fed up of cunts who presumably don't pay for a Blackburn ticket week in week out telling those who do what they should think?
