maybe the 100% success thing was for forward passes

he'd be a great rugy player, his passes always goes back, he usually kicks into touch,  and is great at the Garryowen. and to be fair a great tackler

[corn02]

it's 10 goals in 27 European Appearances

No, is it not 10 in his lat 16 I meant. Superb ratio, doubt there is much better in the Champions League? I am being serious here, it is a great ratio.

i happened to flick round to the footie last night and noticed a stat that came up during the match, Jammie Carragher, 40% success pass rate. sums it it for ya

Jamie Carragher: Accurate Passes - 54, Bad Passes - 9. So more like 85% success rate, but close enough miltown 

[milltown row]

brilliant stato, as i said i was flicking and that stat came up . how many were back to his keeper? doubt that stat would be there

A defender passing back to his 'keeper,madness.

does those passes not count or something?

[milltown row]

highly entertaining lads, he's a quality attacking player, he proves that everytime he takes to the pitch. THE STAT CAME ON THE TV, I AINT MAKING IT UP

a lot of 'defending' going on here, playing the ball back to the keeper has been a trait of the pool for years, and with Jamie being a pool man, born and bred, he'll not change that stat.

what are you blethering about now?

[supersarsfields]

The stat that came up Milltown was 40 passes 100% completed. I'll admit I noticed it aswell as I was kinda surprised by how good it was for Carragher.  

[milltown row]

oh sorry lads, it was very badly arranged on tv. i'll take it all back

Rafa - Agger not for sale
Reds boss rejects Real rumours

Last updated: 3rd October 2008

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has rejected reports linking Daniel Agger with a possible move to Real Madrid.

Reports had suggested that Real were lining up a move for the Danish central defender when the transfer window reopens in January.

Real's vice-president Jose Angel Sanchez was quoted as saying Agger was among their top targets as they look to bolster their defensive options.

Agger has struggled to reclaim his place in the Liverpool side this season after recovering from a foot injury which ruled him out for the majority of last term.

The 23-year-old's frustration at his lack of action has fuelled speculation over his future, but Benitez is adamant the highly-rated central defender is going nowhere.

Not for sale

"The situation is very simple, Daniel Agger is our player and he is not for sale," said Benitez on a statement issued on Liverpool's official website.

"His future is at Anfield and nowhere else. He knows my ideas because we have talked with him and he has a long future with us.

"We do not want to lose our concentration just before we play Manchester City by talking about other things but it is important that people know that Agger is not for sale."

Reputedly only 18-months left on his current deal, if he doesn't extend soon I imagine the pressure will be to move him on in January before he becomes a rapidly redepreciating asset.

This will put pressure on Rafa now to play Agger imo.  Can see him getting an extended run in the team before christmas, but who makes way? left back seems to be the only position available at the moment despite my thoughts on Arbeloa,who in fairness has done well in the last few outings. 
Any team news for today?

Skertel makes way for Agger....Better player....Agger's a better all round footballer than Carragher as well but i think Carragher is a better defensive wise...And i'm a gooner so keep on Skertel and carragher

Credit crunch delays new Kop

Sunday, 5 October 2008 10:56

Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry today insisted the club's new stadium will still be built - but only after the current financial turmoil stabilises.

Parry also made it clear that the club's opposition to ground sharing with Everton has not changed.

And he revealed that attempts to buy the club have 'gone very quiet'.

Work on the Stanley Park project has come to a halt following a decision to delay the building, maybe for a year, because of the credit squeeze.

Parry told BBC Five Live's Sportsweek: 'Ground share is not being considered. With the financial markets in the turmoil as they are, any major construction project at this time is difficult, it is risky.

'It is a case of a delay while things settle down, it is still a very, very good long term project. The economics of it still make underlying sense.

'I do not see any change in direction or any change in plans, and ground share is not back on the agenda.

'The point is, at this moment it is not the most sensible time to be borrowing huge amounts of money with the markets in turmoil. That will settle down and availability of money will increase.

'The project makes long term sense, it is the supply of money that is an issue, that will correct itself in time.'

The ownership of the club is also unlikely to change at present, said Parry.

He said: 'It has gone quiet and everyone is delighted. The focus at Liverpool should only ever be on football.

'All is relatively stable, I am not aware of anything that is happening regarding the sale of the club at this moment. My focus is on day-to-day things and making sure we deliver.

'I am not sure of anything going on, it is a question best directed to the owners. As far as I am concerned we are focusing on things that we can control.

'We are trying to do the very best to produce a team that performs on the pitch.'
