Selection headache for Rafa?

Liverpool have been all over Arsenal in the first half, but they are coming back into it a bit.

However, Crouch, Pennant and Benayoun have all been good so far, so do you think they should get a game on Tuesday?


dont think so

i dont think they will coz kuyt will be back on who was plesis?? is he from the reserves??well done 2 all especially finnan & carra good luck lads 4 tuesdays match


formation 4-2-3-1

Torres
Babel Kuyt
Gerrard
Mascherano Alonso

Riise Skrtel Carragher Finnan

Reina


VERY GOOD DEBUT PERFORMANCE

Thought Plessis did well, this young lad looked very assured , played the simple pass and did very little wrong . well played a very good debut performance, and nice to see a young player coming through the ranks.


yeah i thot plessis did real

yeah i thot plessis did real well...he was composed ..got in some tackles..n passed the ball well...im not too sure abt lucas tho...he looks sloppy..no energy ..n i think he needs to work on his fitness...pennant was quite a disaster ..riise did reasonably well and the back four did the job ..carragher or arbeloa the man of the match for me.. a goood performance oon the whole...more positives


ANOTHER VERY GOOD PERFORMANCE

Yet another very good performance against Arsenal today, we were the better side in the first half , Riise missed a sitter, and we should have gone in 2-0 up, Arsenal played better in the second half but were helped by slack marking from crosses and a neeedless foul given away by Pennant. Some good performances from Arbeloa ( my man of the match ) Carragher, Lucas ( looks better in a forward position ), Crouch, and Plessis ( a very assured debut ) , dissapointing displays from Riise and Pennant ( I cant see either of these players with the club next season ) and Voronin, but hey a good result giving us a phycological edge for Tuesday. Arsenal look a jaded team, lets hope we get the result we need on tuesday.

Dracula

Why has Pepe Reina suddenly turned into Dracula? in fact even Dracula wasn't as scared of crosses as Pepe seems to be now! A bloke that size should be taking everything in his path, and should have comfortably cleared 2day


WE ARE VERY VUNRABLE ON CROSSES

I AGREE WE SEEM VERY VUNRABLE ON CROSSES , CROUCH LOST HIS MAN , REINNA DOES SEEM A BIT HESITANT, WE SEEM TO JUST GIFT FREE HEAREARS IN THE BOX , THIS HAS BEEN A WEAKNESS FOR A WHILE NOW.

IT NEEDS TO BE SORTED OUT AND FAST BECAUSE ARSENAL ARE VERY GOOD AT EXPOSING THIS WEAKNESS AND ID HATE TO SEE IT COSTING US ON TUESDAY NIGHT.

EQUALLY WE ARE STILL CRAP AT CROSSING AND TAKING CORNERS WHEN ATTACKING, MAKE YOU WONDER WHAT THEY DO IN TRAINING .


Arbeloa had a blinder

I thought Arbeloa had a great game today , he seems better at left back than right even though he is right footed, far better than Riise or Aurelio. He kept Walcot very quite and also made a couple of crucial tackles. He was my man of the match, alongside Carragher.


crouch,

i hope rafa, now relises that crouch, is by far the better than kuyt. as he has not played many games yet in the first half he was superb. i hop we attaCK ARSE on tuesday, because that is the way to beat them. today we played well in the first half and even the second half vornin should have scored, still to play for on tuesday....


kev j's picture

ur right rouman

crouch played well 2day but i bet u he will be on the bench on tuesday night rouman wot u think of plessis? he had a very good debut i thought.


kevj

plessis played well, like he does for the reserves, a good player. are reserves are one game away from winning the league, lets hope there are many youngsters to come..


nobody has answered my question

who is plesis? is he from the reserves?please answer as i dont watch much tv news


julie..

yes plesis, is from are reserves, and is just, one of the many talents we have. allways plays well for the second team.


thank you

thanx rouman 4 answering me i had no idea who he was lol


if im not wrong plessis was

if im not wrong plessis was brought from lyon and was a highly rated youngster under gerrard houllier...
he looks like a good prospect and the also he is left footed ..gives the team more options in the midfield...


Julie - Plessis

Julie
Liverpool signed French youngster Damien Plessis from Lyon on transfer deadline day in August 2007.

The teenager, who penned a three-year contract, plays as a holding midfielder and is part of the reserve ranks at Melwood.

On securing his signature, Rafa Benitez said: "He is a good player, big and strong, and we're sure he'll do well for us.

"He's only a young boy with plenty of time to work on his game but it depends on his progress how quickly he can force his way into the first team."

Plessis is 20 years of age.


Finan / Arbeloa our best full back combination.

Having watched Arbeloa mark Walcott out of the game today , and watched some of his incisive tackles, I reckon he is our best full back. Wether he plays left or right he has a knack of doing well, at 2.3m he is one of Rafa's best buys.He is far better than Aurelio or Riise at left back.

To my mind he should be in the team for every game, we look so much more solid with Finnan at right back Arbeloa on the left.
What do you guys reckon ?


I agree with you on Arbeloa.

I agree with you on Arbeloa. He's been solid in defense since the start of the season, and he does a better job than Riise at left back, although Rafa prefers Aurelio for the rule considering he's available for selections, both Arbeloa and Aurelio have had 50 appearances for Liverpool so far, and I believe they will be around at Anfield for longer than we expected. As for Riise, I think this is his last season as his performances have been stutterting for many parts of the season, some really aweful performances like against the Scumbags and Marseille, but somehow he was a star performer against Everton in our last derby game at Anfield!

If rumours are true and that Rafinha guy is on his way to Anfield, then I guess Finnan is the one who'll leave us in the summer. Otherwise it will be difficult to see Arbeloa out!

Hope we can get more wide men in the summer, as Kewell will "and better" leave us in the summer, which leaves us with Benayoun, Pennant, Babel and Kuyt only for the wide areas...

For me though, I have more hopes on the reserves and youngsters to shine more, as the fruition of many of them will come by the start of next season probably, you never know!


Better than expected result

Better than expected result yesterday, the game could have gone either way but really feeling confident about progressing to semi-final, your right about arbeloa eddie, i've liked him from day one and he may come up with the odd goal or so, even though some fans have called him crap, what the hell has got into reina just lately, although part of a 5 or 7 man defence it's the wrong time of the season to be getting the jitters, i don't think we get the best out of carragher at right back, well done plessis, he plays every reserve game like that (a class act in the making), i watch all our reserve games since i get setanta free, even though lucas has moved up and darby gets a mention, plessis along with leto (a bad game against marseille), insua, el zhar, spearing, flynn and nemeth "the next robbie fowler", should all be getting opportunities next season of some sort of prem action, peter obviously had a point to prove yesterday, the boss loves kuyt but voronin and pennant may be gonners if rafa gats to buy a couple of front men in the summer, it's a shame roma did not take thier chances and c'mon fenerbahce.
