itt liverpool not winning things; sandbox i love football

oh god i suppose mccarthy's safe for another month now

that was an AND THATS WHAT THEY DONE ALL DAY game

ALBEIT THEY HAD A MAN SENT OFF, HARSHLY IN MY VIEW

didn't see the game, was moving in to new place and buying homeware in Asda :(

what a result brian

nv :(

sandbox needs a blue saturday/tuesday/etc thread

Fletcher starting to look like he deserves a better team behind him, but he's just as likely to pick up some niggly injury that sidelines him for 2 months

the fletcher goal was rly well taken, inzaghi-ish

really been looking forward to Swansea-QPR, good match thus far as well

i keep waiting for proper ilx to come back but once i have internet set up in my new place i might start a new "I Am Pooter" thread :D

also steven fucking hunt gets an assist for his badly skewed shot

Hunt's been good for us tbf, Jarv gets all the plaudits when he has his 1 good game in 20 but Hunt has worked hard and tried to make things happen when most of the rest of them have been wondering around like bored shop assistants

came pretty close to going to this match, sounded like a good one. girl with the dragon tattoo was good though.

she's come on leaps and bounds

lol

I find it strange that A. Faurlín has played some 200 league matches in Argentina and England, almost all of them below the top flight, he looks excellent to me.

a lot of ppl seem to think faurlin is pretty good, could be the next charlie adam if some epl machers fancy throwing £7m or so to big tony f

if this whole round is just an excuse to give Utd two points

same lineup as v chelsea by the look of it

does redknapp ever bother using all the squad players he wants so much

pienaar hasnt played a single epl game this season

defoe must be devastated that modric is the new LIW MAN in redknapps heart

and again Gio doesn't even make the bench :(

that is pretty ridiculous with lennon out

He doesn't make the bench because he isn't actually any good.

Nearly every other result has gone our way over Christmas. Don't fuck this up Spurs.

He is good though. For Mexico

wow he has played 53 times for mexico at 22

                                                 Apps 	Goals 	Assists
Racing Santander 	2010–11 	16 	5 	2

that is pretty impressive for a 22 yr old in a primera liga team with fairly little attacking quality

I've only ever seen him be ineffectual for Spurs.

since most of his scant playing time for spurs consists of sub appearances as a teenager under a manager who doesnt trust him, yeah

im not saying he is amazing, it's more that redknapp doesn't use his squad properly

seems like every EPL centre back thinks he's Alex now whenever there's a dead ball opportunity.

Hold on, Pienaar hasn't played all season? He's a known quantity, only a few months after you offered him £90,000 a week - that's *almost* as wasteful a signing as the January window had to offer imo.

hes been injured for some of that time but hes managed a few appearances in the cups, suggesting some sort of residual playing capacity

that is former ailsa favourite danny fox rite

Pienaar is very good yes and a much more mystifying omission and more deserving cause.

I don't like the stripes on Spurs shorts. Looks like they have suspender straps hanging down.

      Sandro
Dos Santos  Pienaar   Kranjcar

midfield unit that should get a runout at least 4/5 times a season tbh

lot of wasteful play out there today from modric/bale

it's playing vdv rw that fucks this formation, as well as modric being less efficient at am

a proper manager would play one of pienaar/kranjcar/rose/dos santos rw, or shifting bale there

nice play there from adebayor and vdv

vdv could be ok on the right when walker overlaps tbh, if he'd stay out there

it's one of those fucking games where the ref will not get his fucking hole out the way of our passing lanes

that last clause is an impossible to imagine hypothetical though (xp)

yeah i'll admit that

corluka/walker right side imo

vdv is useless at rw cuz he is a total liability defensively and isn't very fast and always tries to cut inside

abd lo he was almost exactly in the middle of the pitch just outside the penalty area, ie his proper place, when he played the pass for ade

walker rw would be worth trying vs a weak team too

adebayor's pulled up there goes the season

was that ray wilkins' michael caine impersonation

urt iz bleedin buttock

finish worthy of Walcott right there ...
