Kuyt has been a lot more efective at the start of this season than Keane, and that is playing out of position.

I would think Keane will improve when he settles as the season goes on, we have seen what Dirk has to offer and it isnt great.

Kuyt's record in Europe is surey one of the best I hink it is 9 in the last 14 - mostly from the wing. Superb and with some big goals too.

He needs more in the league, sure, but he scores the winner to make us about 15million and all people do is berate him and say he was lucky (how many goals have been lucky from players). Give the man credit when he deserves it.

I know the "Kuyt problem" has been visited many times but i feel compelled to keep it going. He is not good enough, his goal sums him up, off his knee. He does not have the pace, skill levels or intelligence to play out wide. Liverpool will never win the Premier League when he is atrting the majority of games. I remember a game last year against United, he was chasing ball with Evra, Evra was running about 75% speed and easily beat him to the ball. Nobody doubts his work rate, it is immense but it isnt enough at the highest level.

Minder I really dont get your point about how Kuyts goal sums him up. He done incredibly well to get on the end of that cross, onto the end of a good paced ball past the last defender, after 117minutes of football. What the hell does it matter whether it went in off the front of his foot or his bell-end, a goals a goal and when you're that close in any touch goalwards is paramount, im sure any striker well tell you that.

You and the other haterS would do well to remember he is a striker playing out of position.

Kuyt is beginning to remind me of Garcia. Everyone complains about him but he's gotten into a habit of scoring some important goals just when you've had enough of him.

So we've got PSV, Marseille and Atletico Madrid in the CL draw



Thoughts?

Thoughts?

Atletico from the last pot was a bit of a sting in the tail. Was looking fairly straighforward up to then. Still think we'll go through all the same.

Think PSV aren't as strong as they used to be.
Marseille can be handy on their day but we did win over there fairly easily last season when we needed to.
Atletico by all accounts very good going forward but not so good defensively.

Either way we'll have to improve from the Liege games which I think we will.

[ExiledGael]

Nasty enough draw for Liverpool. Atletico was a real sting in the tail and the build up will be all about the Spanish links.
But this could suit Liverpool who will need to take every game as if it's almost a knock-out. Certainly nowhere you could say there's a guaranteed three points or a handy evening.

[Gabriel_Hurl]

10 points would be enough to get you through?

[Rossie11]

Athletico will be very tough.. They used the cash from Torres to build a strong squad
Maniche, Forlan, Motta, Luis Garcia, Simao, Assuncao, Maxi Rodriguez, Pongolle and the big Czech lad at the back with the headband
They would cause problems for anyone.

[The Real Laoislad]

I think its a ok group,Could have been worse,I think United got a tougher draw..
Liverpool and Madrid to go through

[Yes I Would]

Agree could have been a tougher group, but if this level of performance continues it doesnt really matter who we were grouped with.

[J70]

I see Lawrenson has tipped Villa to beat Liverpool on Sunday. Unless they improve dramatically, he's going to be right.

[An Fear Rua]

rumour has it new stadium isnt going ahead due to lack of funds/credit crunch....

[Hound]

Seems to be more than a rumour.

One report said the bank agreed the give the £350m loan, but only if it got separate guarantees from the yanks for £220m - which it seems they cannot do. The Sheihk awaits in the sidelines.....

From offical site

Liverpool Football Club have today confirmed that the building of their new stadium will be subject to delay. 
A spokesman for the club said: "Our commitment to building a new world class LFC stadium is undiminished. Like many other major development projects in the UK and overseas we are affected by global market conditions and as such work on the project will be delayed in the short term. We will use this period productively and revisit the plans for the stadium to increase its capacity to 73,000 seats."
