We were pretty slow getting going but grew into the game and dominated during the spell where we scored.

Torres seems to be able to do everything other than score at the moment, Kuyt is all over the pitch and Gerrard looks up for things this season.

Villa got a bit more into the game at the end of the half but overall it was a decent enough half.

Failing to kill teams off and conceding late goals against inferior opposition? Yes, it's an action replay of last season. :(
Nope, it's the new Liverpool and we've actually scored from a dead ball. Fuckin hell. :(

Those were pretty much my thoughts too :P

I thought the penalty was a bit harsh and so was the free kick we scored from but we certainly deserved to win.

See Babel nneds to play on the left and cut in and use that powerfull right foot of his. He could be a Pires for us. Riise is just crap aprt from his left boot. I honestly think a change in formation is needs to accomodate more creativity. I thought Alonso had a shit game today. He's not the same player away from home. I like Mascherano as not only can pass but also tackle, a combo of Alonso and sissoko. With Alonso in the team, Gerrard has more of a defensive duty, but with Mascha or sissoko, he can concentrate more on atatck, where he is more potent.

Well based on today its an absolute mystery why Jamie Carragher isn't a first choice for England, apart from the dodgy penalty decision he never broke sweat coping with Villa, he just does what he does so dam well and I can't speak highly enough of him.

Babel is gonna be a god dam superstar too!

Ultimately Ryan Babel is a striker and his days out on the wing are part of a learning process. Riise needs to raise his game and how he got the nod ahead of Kewell is beyond me but we've got 3 points in the bag so that's fair enough. Alonso is a wonderful talent but he needs to move to the next level. Mascherano is the best young defensive midfielder on the planet, Sissoko looks like he's progressed since last season and Lucas hasn't joined us to play 18 reserve matches a season.

Lies. Ledley King and Wes Brown are much more worthy of a start for England.

Actually they're not and McClaren hasn't got a clue. There's not a better English defender than Carra in the Premier League. Don't get me wrong I think Vidic and Carvalho are super players but they're obviously not English.

Yesterday's game was really encouraging - Okay, we missed chances but ultimately we created them and looked fluid going forward. Last year we'd have controlled that game easily, but failed to create clear cut chances - we'd have had plenty of shots, but they'd have all been from the edge of the area. Yesterday it was a wide range and as soon as our players sharpen up that sort of match will turn into a 4 goal drubbing.

Torres looks like the sort of all round striker we've dreamed of for ages (a much less hideous but nonetheless Rooney type of forward who can do it all) Kuyt appears to have found his ideal partner and Ryan Babel promises to be the sort of dynamic, attacking winger we've required for a long time.

Prediction: If Gerrard finds his very best form almost week in, week out, we'll probably win the league this year. If not, we'll scrape third or forth. Just as Man Utd would've struggled to claim a CL spot last time around had Cristiano Ronaldo misfired all season.

I thought their 'keeper was exceptional yesterday (guess Carson will be pissed off with that :) ) and was probably the reason we didn't get more than we did; he made plenty of vital decisions that saved the other team's bacon. Promising stuff from Torres and Babel, love all the stupid twats making comments like 'what crap signings! Liverpool are still a one-man team', indicating that yes, they don't watch football matches.

I thought we looked pretty good.

I don't know why rafa played arbeloa at righ back and Riise in midfield though. Riise should have been left back and babel/kewell/benayoun on the left wing.

I really like the look of torres as well. He is the one player we have who is completely set on shooting when he gets a chance. He'll get us 20 this season.

I agree with one of the previous posters though. I don't think 4-4-2 suits us. I see us more as a Man U 4-5-1.

Because Riise is about as good at defending as Glen Johnson is.

My fault, meant to say left back because he is a right back by trade.

He can play anywhere along the back line.

I'm back from my holiday by the way, lads. :huh: Don't say you didn't notice I'd left...

I can't believe the new season is finally here!
