its is reported that GH oni valued duff at 8m some time ago....................


Yup, 10 million is not amount.
I don't think Souness will let go Duff go for 10 millions.
Even he is prepare to offload him at 10 million, will he offer to Liverpool?
Graeme Souness said before he had a unhappy times during his days at Anfield.

Oh yeah, talk about his unhappy times at Liverpool, I was more piss off than him.
I remember how he left……………that right………almost ruin Liverpool.

Selling Wright is a mistake.

On the other hand we've got GH favorites who can do no wrong, just look at Heskey, Murphy, Xavier. I know he can't support all the players all the time but he can never justify, in my mind, playing Heskey no matter haw badly he plays, and he's been terrible at times, and not playing Jari when he has played well for a game or two. [/B]

Like I said before, IMO I think Heskey is the weakest link of this current team.
Hopefully, I'm wrong.

Waiting for his showdown with Villa....

i dun think souness is really in the position to reject if the offer is gd.............. he has to answer to his chairman who in turn has to answer to the stakeholders of the club...............

Smicer I saved Baros

Aug 16 2002

Report By Paul Walker


CZECH star Vladimir Smicer reckons his words of wisdom probably saved the Liverpool career of young countryman Milan Baros.

The competitive front man, who did not get a look-in when he finally arrived from Banik Ostrava last December for

£3.4million, after a protracted work permit wrangle went to Smicer for help and advice as his dream move began to turn into a nightmare.

Smicer, who has just signed a new three-year contract with the Anfield giants, told Baros to forget all about the fact that he was a rival for a place up front with Michael Owen and Emile Heskey.

Baros has taken the advice to heart and returned for preseason a different player, to the delight of manager Gerard Houllier who has included the youngster prominently in his build-up.

Smicer said: "I have played alongside him a few times in the national team and he did speak to me about his problems, being a fellow countryman.

"He spoke to me after his first six months when he wasn't playing for Liverpool and he was disappointed. He said he would show he was a good player and he would improve.

"My advice to him was to forget how many top players we have at the club, just keep doing his work and try to improve, and he took that advice."

Smicer added: "The competition is the same for all players, but maybe it's easier for me because of my experience and it was tougher for Milan to handle.

"He must understand that he will be playing alongside Michael Owen, Emile Heskey and Steven Gerrard and maybe he wasn't ready for that.

"He knows now it's not important who is in the team and who they are, but how he is playing."

Smicer has seen a change in Baros and that has helped the younger player figure in the club's pre-season.

Smicer added: "He has come back from the summer very fit, he's lost a few kilos and he has shown the manager that he can count on him. He looks very good."

Seven days of change for Reds

Aug 16 2002

Fanscene By Sam Johnstone


I HATE to start the season with a cliche, so here are two instead: a week's a long time in football, and what a difference a game makes.

They both mean the same thing, though: any optimism I had last week about the new campaign is slowly dissolving away.

Two one-nil defeats and the sale of Stephen Wright to Sunderland have got me wondering if we're doing the right thing.

The Arsenal game was a bit of a dog's dinner, but it was a Cordon Bleu performance next to the Chester game. These are part timers, for God's sake, we should have ripped them apart, but no, we struggled against them. The game may just have been about fitness (and celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Deva stadium), but you'd expect a couple of goals at least.

You would also expect that players like Diao, Cheyrou, Smicer, Berger and the like would want to impress the boss. God help us if that's strength in depth.

Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh here - one or two of the young lads did impress, particularly Stephen Warnock and John Welsh, and young Steve Harkness too. What do you mean, he doesn't play for us anymore?

Welsh and Warnock may be the future for the Reds, but the shock departure of Stephen Wright shows that they are going to be lucky to make it. I can understand Wrighty playing as cover for Markus Babbel, but he was having to fight his way past Jamie Carragher and Abel Xavier (and no doubt Vegard Heggem when he's finally fit).

That must be incredibly demoralising for the lad, particularly when you put in some good solid performances when you do get a game. In my opinion, only Babbel should have been above Wrighty in the right back pecking order: Xavier is a stop-gap, Carragher a centre half, left back, and Heggem injury prone. Still, he's off to save Peter Reid's job, so good luck Wrighty.

With the start of the season come the usual predictions, so here we go: Champions: soft question, but after this week.....no, I'm still going for the Reds. Relegated: Birmingham, West Brom and Sunderland. Top Scorer: Henry. Best Keeper: Jerzy, as he was last season.

Best Alex Ferguson excuse for a poor United performance: Difficult, he's used so many, so it's bound to be something quite outlandish.

Let's say it's something like "The dog ate my midfield" or "I left my goalkeeper on the bus".

Derby results: 3-1 for the Reds at Anfield, with the return going to a 2-2 draw. It wouldn't surprise me if the Bluenoses did alright this season. I hate to say it, but they've got a canny manager, a couple of decent players, and Wayne Rooney!

Graham's Column: It's August - Time To Be An Optimist!

By: Graham Turvey

Published On: 16th August 2002

Published At: 09:41 GMT

Article #: 04


Yup, season’s eve. Just a few weeks after we watched a Brazilian on a wobbly table waving the World Cup, the real stuff is about to start.


Sorry Sven, Michael etc – playing at Ingerlund games is one thing, this is what matters to most of us!


As a Liverpool fan there is only one thing I really want this season – the same thing I’ve been wanting for the last several – the title back. And I do mean THE title – FA Cup Winners, League Cup Winners, UEFA Cup Winners, Champions League Qualifiers, League Runners-Up – not so much titles as subtitles!


Winning the Championship is what teams, and Managers, are judged on. Gerard doesn’t need us to tell him that, he’s said as much himself. He is already a great Liverpool Manager – and that’s a worthy title of it’s own, but I’m sure he won’t feel he has achieved until he wins the League. And then he’ll want the European Cup too.


So will it really happen for us this time? How the hell do I know??


Pre-season hasn’t exactly been scintillating has it? I’ve watched 4 matches live on TV and I’ve not been impressed. But then, that’s what pre-season is about. Those matches, including the limp showing in the Community Shield, are simply building up to putting out the right team to get us 3 points at Villa Park on Sunday.


I’ve got question marks about the new signings – but that’s always the case when they’ve not kicked a ball in a meaningful match. Dioufy, Salif Diao and Bruno Cheyrou, will surely need some time to settle in before they produce their best (memo to all of them – that doesn’t mean a goal each on Sunday wouldn’t be welcome...).


This is one of my worries – will that settling in period undermine our challenge? Well, it shouldn’t, should it? We were close last year, if what we’ve bought in can close that gap, then this could just be enough.

The Heskey hate factor

By Chris McMullan
Date: 16/8/2002

There are always players in any team who seem to get more than their fair share of negative press from or media or even their own fans. In Liverpool's case, that player also happens to be a regular England International who is rated by all the top managers in the game.


Defenders openly admit that they hate marking Emile Heskey as he's recognised as being 'a bit of a handful'. He's strong, quick, able to challenge even the biggest center-half's in the air and he has a fantastic work rate. So why do some people get on his back?

Well, the biggest criticism of Emile is that he doesn't score enough goals (14 last season), but as he's playing a supporting role to Michael Owen surely how the partnership performs should be taken into consideration? (and Owen isn't short on the goals front!).

Owen today summed up why his partner up-front is a regular for club and country


"He gives us something different. It's probably my job to score the goals whilst Emile will score goals and do other things as well. "He takes it upon himself to do other duties and sacrifices himself for the team in certain ways. Every side needs those kind of players.
"He picks up their biggest man on corners, for instance. He defends well, makes unselfish runs and creates a lot of goals. "Everyone in the team appreciates him and he knows that. As long as your team-mates are behind you then that is the main thing.

"There are always players who will get criticism but people who understand the game will know he is a valuable member of our squad."

All the Heskey haters out there(you know who you are), just remember the next time you give the lad abuse whether it be from the comfort of your armchair or God forbid at the match. On top of disagreeing with the combined footballing knowledge of Gerard Houllier and Sven Goran Eriksson, the European Footballer of Year also thinks you're talking out of your arse!

Houllier backs winter break plan

Gerard Houllier has given his support to the proposed Premiership winter break, saying it would help the players physically and mentally.
The FA is due to meet to discuss the proposal of a winter shut-down, following criticism from leading players and Premiership managers about the demands of the domestic game.
And Liverpool manager Houllier has welcomed the idea, saying it would be beneficial for players to rest. Houllier is also against clubs using the break for money-spinning friendlies in far-off destinations.
Houllier said: "The way I would like it to work is to leave the Christmas fixtures alone as it is traditional for people to go to games over the festive season but to have a break from the season around the first week in January.
"Maybe a three-week break, with the players having absolutely no involvement at all in the first week, a total break for them.
"I would like to FA to make sure that no tours would be arranged by clubs during that period of three weeks because that would destroy the purpose of the break.
"In a normal football year you play between 55 and 65 games, added to that you have the international games, about seven or eight, plus friendlies, so a player could be involved in something like 75 games a season.
"I think that possibly even more than the physical side, you need to give players a mental break.
"I think Bob Paisley used to say 'you can massage a muscle but you can't massage a head' so it would be a good idea to give them some time off."

[Winevil]

good game even though it is only 1-0...but a win is a win(quote from our ex-national coach PN Sivaji).....

Diouf impress me again...he is by far the best attacking player in the Liverpool team...

Winevil

[alamak]

yah.. diouf.. very hardworking player.... will be good to see him score soon. :)

nice game but still some defensive lapses...... hope they get better as the season progresses

[Mr_Valentino]

We had a great game. Great passing, defending, movement and of course attacking.

Last nite performance was really encouraging as I think G.H did the right by starting Diouf instead of Heskey.

I have nothing against him, but look at Diouf, he’s on fire. He runs at, taking on defenders. Brilliantly performance from him.

Dudek, I swear he’s the best keeper in the world, H & H as usual…..solid, Traore settle well
Hamann commanding in midfield. Stevie, he’s everywhere, Danny surprising seem to found extra gear, Riise………my man of the match.

Still I need to voice out, I notice without Heskey we played more of a passing game instead long ball……or is it just me?

[Soccerkid]

for me, my man of the match is Diouf

[kill]

Anyway one thing that i am very sure ! This is going to be a very interesting season !:bounce:

[aptget]

OH GREAT !!! for a minute I thought there is only ONE Liverpool thread and subjected to spamming. I hope it keeps this way so that verydead can keep posting in the other thread while we can have proper discussion on Liverpool.

I should have been 2-0 to Liverpool, what a waste Owen's penalty caught the keeper's shoelaces ...sigh. Look at his face, the frustration. I have tis feeling Owne will not make the mark this season and may move to another club. Hopefully Spanish club where they can bring out the full potential in him.

Today's newpaper suggested dropping owen

If he really is dropped then who will lead the attack?
Diouf?

baros?

Liverpool's play is built around owen.Defending like mad and hitting on the counterattack although that seems to have changed with diouf coming in

But shades of the old playing style can still be seen

Why the negative play?

If owen is really dropped, then anfield is becoming something of another Arsenal or chelsea

All foreign talent and very little hometown talent on the pitch

Liverpool's play is built around owen.Defending like mad and hitting on the counterattack although that seems to have changed with diouf coming in

But shades of the old playing style can still be seen

Why the negative play?

If owen is really dropped, then anfield is becoming something of another Arsenal or chelsea

All foreign talent and very little hometown talent on the pitch

I would like to bring your attention to this article written by a pool fan at football 365. It reflects on the same concerns that i have once written


"On January 16 1999 a rampant Liverpool side thrashed Southampton 7-1 in a remarkable Premier League match at Anfield. More remarkable than the score line was the list of scorers - Fowler 3, Matteo, Carragher, Owen and Thompson. For all five of them were products of the club's youth policy.

It was hailed as the final vindication of the club's expensive new footballing academy at Kirkby, a sign that locally produced talent was the way forward. And how we applauded it! Gerard Houllier's first season in charge had seen too few of those spiritually uplifting days.

Fast forward three and a half years to August 2002. A year after completing an unprecedented five-trophy haul in a single calendar year the seeds of that locally-powered side lie scattered to the wind. Robbie Fowler, Dominic Matteo and David Thompson have all moved on (as have other 'Anglos' who featured that day - David James, Paul Ince and Jamie Redknapp).

And sadly Steve McManaman, who didn't play against the Saints as he was doubtless very busy preparing his exit visa and arranging the Spanish lessons, is but a distant memory.

Of course the club still boasts an Englishness that remains at odds with many of its Premiership rivals and the prodigious talents of European Footballer of the Year Michael Owen remain at Gerard Houllier's disposal, but am I alone in thinking something's gone a little awry with the club's vision of an English fortress?

"I want to keep an English core to the team," is a statement of intent attributed to Gerard Houllier on more than one occasion in recent months. Furthermore, Monsieur Houllier's English core, we are led to believe, is itself meant to have a distinctly Scouse flavour.

Houllier's committment to the Academy and to the continuing progress of home-based stars like Owen and Carragher, Steven Gerrard, Emile Heskey and Danny Murphy seem to confirm the success of this approach. It's comforting also to see rookie England goalkeeper Chris Kirkland waiting in the wings for his big chance to impress. But in the last few months worrying signs have emerged that all is not as it seems with Liverpool's 'Made in England' tag.

The last six senior players to leave the club have been Robbie Fowler (sold to Leeds), Gary McAllister (Coventry), Nicolas Anelka (Man City), Jamie Redknapp (Spurs), Nick Barmby (Leeds) and Stephen Wright (Sunderland).

Four of those six were Englishmen, two of them local boys who had come up through the ranks. The other two, Anelka and McAlister, for various reasons never had any future at Anfield anyway. The same period has seen the arrival of Milan Baros (Czech Republic), Bruno Cheyrou, Alou Diarra, Patrice Luzi (France) and the Senegalese duo El Hadj Diouf and Salif Diao.

Now there's nothing wrong with the incoming players. They are all first-class stars or emerging talents in their own right and if Houllier's past scouting record is anything to go by they should prove to be big plusses for the club. But where does it leave the next generation of Gerrards, Owens and Carraghers?

Stephen Warnock, John Welsh, Richie Partridge and Neil Mellor could be forgiven for thinking they are flogging a dead horse when it comes to making progress through the club's playing hierarchy. Not only do they have to claw their way past no-hope squad fillers like Bernard Diomede, Igor Biscan, Vegard Heggem and the scandalously underused Jari Litmanen, but they have a new raft of incomers to contend with. All this on top of the usual fringe of foreign first-team wannabees like Gregory Vignal, Djimi Traore, Vladimir Smicer, Patrik Berger and Abel Xavier.

Even the club's ham-fisted attempt at trying to buy English talent (Lee Bowyer) in the summer was an embarrassing and ill-thought out idea that should never have seen the light of day - gaining us few friends in the footballing world.

Reportedly, Houllier is not happy with the quality of the latest batch of kids coming through the ranks of the Academy. The appointment of Hughie McAuley as reserve team coach is obviously an attempt in part to iron out some of the perceived deficiencies. But is it not the case that we'll never really know how good these youngsters are until they are given some sort of chance, any sort of chance, in the first team?

Now I know these guys are far from being the finished articles and I'm not advocating throwing three or four of them into the first team on masse and seeing how they get on but surely they deserve an even break? Steve McManaman (1992), Robbie Fowler (1993) and Michael Owen (1997) were hardly the finished articles either when they were given their debuts.

Going back even further, Ian Rush broke into the first team in the 1979-80 season and played six times in 1980-81 before scoring his first goals for the club in a first round European Cup tie against Finnish part-timers Oulu Paloseura. He never looked back and finished that 80-81 season with 30 goals. Neil Mellor may not be the new Ian Rush, but how will we ever find out?

Foreign stars at Anfield have been a feature of the place since the days of Jan Molby and Bruce Grobbelaar. They have always enhanced the team and added a colour and style to the club. El Hadji Diouf, Bruno Cheyrou and Milan Baros look set to augment the exotic talents already on show in Sami Hyypia, Stephane Henchoz, Jerzy Dudek, John Arne Riise and Dietmar Hamann. We can all recognise and applaud that.

Indeed talent, wherever it hails from, is always welcome at Anfield, but the advantages of having British players in the side is clear for all to see. They understand the demands of the English game and the mentality of the supporters. Locally-born players add another layer of commitment and passion that some foreign players can never fully grasp.

At the moment we still have that core, that English/Scouse heart in the side - but it's quickly coming under siege. That's why the ridiculously cheap sales of Barmby and Wright have been galling to so many of us. There is a balance to be struck between a British versus foreign mentality and style and we are in danger of tipping it too far away from home shores.

Do we want a Chelsea or a Rangers style future of overpaid and uncommitted mercenaries who play when they fancy it or do we want players with ability who will give everything to the red cause?

Gerard Houllier's red revolution continues apace. We can look forward at long last to a realistic title challenge this season and we are eternally grateful to him for that. Three and a half years on from that seven-goal thriller Southampton have just returned to Anfield for another Premier League match, and once again they went home empty handed. This time Liverpool had only four Englishmen in the starting line up and the Saints were undone by an African from Senegal.

It doesn't matter who scores as long as we win of course but Gerard Houllier has told us repeatedly that he recognises the importance of having locally-born players in the team. It's time for him to show us he means it because at the moment his actions in the transfer market seem strangely at odds with his words. "

[Virus]

Liverpool got to start gelling up their defence. This year, Liverpool's attack is much much better and is a very good sign. Lets hope that defence start to stop concide goals and with the attack that they have now, beating any opposition is not really hard. the good thing now is that the season is early, and they are not at their peak yet :).

Right now, I still think Arsenal got the best chance to win the Premiership looking from how they play this season. But I got the uncanny feeling that Arsenal reached their peak abit too early even tho Lundberg and Pires are not back yet. Lets pray that they play so well now but fumble at the end due to peaking far too early.

yeah agreed...last year we had seen the "midfield block" tactic so effectively that the defence is so water-tight...

this year seems that the defence is so strained by the opponent pace that it kept concede goals..and there is also a lack of concentration among the central defence

better buck up....but it's still lovely to take three points when our red rival dropped points ;)

Manchester United's Roy Keane has been found guilty on two charges of bringing the game into disrepute and banned for five games by the FA.
Keane appeared before the Football Association at Bolton's Reebok Stadium on Tuesday following allegations made in his biography that he made a premeditated attempt to injure Manchester City star Alfie Haaland two seasons ago.
The midfielder was found guilty on both charges, the first of which related to the tackle on Haaland, which the three-man FA disciplinary panel confirmed had been "improperly motivated".
The second arose from Keane's decision to cash in on the tackle by detailing it in his recently released autobiography.
As a result, Keane, who is currently sidelined with a hip injury, has been banned for five games and also fined £150,000, although he does have the right of appeal.
An FA statement read: "Manchester United's Roy Keane has on Tuesday night been found guilty on both counts of misconduct by the FA.
"Keane will receive a five match suspension, commencing on November 4 and a £150,000 fine, both subject to appeal within 14 days."
Keane's ban will rule him out of the Worthington Cup third round clash with Leicester as well as the Manchester derby with City and the crunch encounter with bitter rivals Liverpool on 1 December.
The 31-year-old will return to domestic action against Arsenal the following weekend, but will be available for United's remaining Champions League group games for the duration of his ban.
Ghost-writer Eamon Dunphy and Old Trafford boss Sir Alex Ferguson were both believed to have spoken on Keane's behalf in a hearing which lasted almost seven hours.

Babbel should get another 90 minutes under his belt as he continues his push for the first team and has been tipped by assistant boss Phil Thompson to feature in Gerard Houllier's plans within the next month or so.
Coach Hughie McAuley is also expected to give Czech midfielder Berger a chance to push his own claims and the Reds will be looking to carry on where they left off following last week's 4-0 demolition of Sheffield Wednesday.
A win for Liverpool will take them to the top of the FA Premier Reserve League.

Liverpool's Chris Kirkland has admitted he loves playing regularly for England but is happy with his substitute's role at Anfield.
The former Coventry star has recovered from a slight neck strain and will be between the sticks at Reading on Tuesday night as David Platt's Under-21 side continue their Euro 2004 qualifying campaign against Macedonia.
Kirkland has seen his first-team appearances severely limited at Liverpool since he joined the club on the same day as Jerzy Dudek last season, with his Polish counterpart's brilliant form establishing him as perhaps the best keeper in the Premiership.
But the 21-year-old is happy to stay in Dudek's shadow for now, although he is delighted to be part of the England set-up.
He said: "I look forward to playing and when I come away with England I've always had that chance. At Liverpool I'm on the bench and I've accepted that but it's good to get away and play some games."
He added: "It's an honour to train with Jerzy and all the Liverpool players. I knew the score when I joined Liverpool and I am happy."

Liverpool are reported to be ready to listen for offers for Igor Biscan and Bernard Diomede when the transfer window reopens in January.
The Anfield midfielders have scarcely had a sniff of first-team action over the past couple of seasons and may well be sold in the New Year as the Reds look to cut their massive wage bill.
Biscan has lost his place in the Croatia national side after failing to establish himself in the fiercely competitive Liverpool midfield and will be keen to find regular first-team action elsewhere. Turkish side Galatasaray have been tipped as a possible destination.
Diomede - a World Cup winner with France in 1998 - appears to be even further out of favour with Reds boss Gerard Houllier and is said to be keen on a return to his homeland after reportedly snubbing a move to Charlton in the summer.

Straight away he was on the ground and when he was stretchered off the Reds ace was clearly in considerable pain.

Straight away he was on the ground and when he was stretchered off the Reds ace was clearly in considerable pain.

Oh no!!:eek:

[hacktic]

Steven Gerrard is definitely out of Liverpool's trip to Leeds on Saturday but Sami Hyypia has been passed fit to play.
Gerrard bruised his hip while in action for England on Wednesday and Reds boss Gerard Houllier has confirmed the midfielder will miss the noon showdown at Elland Road and is also struggling to be fit for Tuesday's Champions League game against Spartak Moscow in Russia.
Houllier said: "It was a blow to the hip muscle but it was not a tear or a strain which is good news.
"Steven has a blood clot on the hip and that restricts his movement. It will take time to disperse and so we will have to wait to see if he can join us for Moscow."
Meanwhile, Hyypia suffered bruised ribs while in action for Finland but has shrugged off the knock and will start at centre-back against Terry Venables' side.
Elsewhere Emile Heskey remains a doubt with the calf injury that forced him to miss England's game against Macedonia in midweek but Stephane Henchoz and Chris Kirkland, however, are both definitely absent.
Patrik Berger is also missing with groin strain but Vladimir Smicer is back in the squad after recovering from a foot injury.
As a result Salif Diao, Milan Baros and El Hadji Diouf could all find themselves thrust back into action while Markus Babbel may make a welcome return to the bench after another reserve outing in midweek.

but sad to say, was rather disappointed with the performance

[hacktic]

Liverpool leapfrogged Arsenal into top spot and kept their unbeaten league run intact as Salif Diao's close-range strike saw off Leeds 1-0.
Gerard Houllier's troops travelled to Elland Road for the brunch crunch looking to make it five Premiership wins on the trot, and they seemed in the mood to do just that after dominating the opening 20 minutes of the game.
For all their possession, though, Liverpool failed to threaten Whites keeper Paul Robinson and allowed Terry Venables' hosts to slowly creep back into the match.
England striker Alan Smith got the ball rolling for the home side by jinking past three Reds defenders and firing a deflected shot just inches wide of the upright on 23 minutes.
Anfield keeper Jerzy Dudek then pulled off a terrific save to tip Harry Kewell's looping header over the crossbar, and when the Aussie forward - playing up front with Smith in place of dropped striker Mark Viduka - beat the Pole with another header just before the interval, it rattled the woodwork.
The Reds thumped David O'Leary's Leeds 4-0 in this fixture last season, and found the back of the net once again to break the deadlock on 66 minutes.
Germany midfielder Dietmar Hamann's sliderule pass released Senegal livewire El Hadji Diouf down the left flank, and the striker's cross found his international team-mate Diao, who beat Robinson at his near post with a deft flick.
Michael Owen was then introduced for Milan Baros from the subs' bench as Liverpool looked to wrap up the points, but it was the home team who went closest to scoring late on.
John Arne Riise was robbed of possession on the halfway line and Lee Bowyer set sub Viduka racing down the right flank in acres of space. The Aussie hitman's cross found the lively Kewell, but after cleverly skipping around two defenders he somehow lifted his shot over the crossbar from 10 yards out.
The defeat was Leeds' fifth league reverse under Venables, while Liverpool are now unbeaten in 10 Premiership games and sit top of the pile.

[hacktic]

Liverpool extended their unbeaten record in this season's Premiership with a crucial and well deserved victory at Leeds United this afternoon.

Summer signing Salif Diao was the hero, netting the only goal of the game after 65 minutes to clinch the points.

In only his second Premiership start Diao came into the team in place of the injured Steven Gerrard and he turned in an impressive performance alongside Didi Hamann in the centre of midfield, which was capped by his winning strike.

Diao was one of four changes to the Reds team that began against Chelsea in their last outing 13 days ago and even without Michael Owen, who started on the bench, Liverpool totally dominated the eearly stages.

The pairing of Milan Baros and El Hadji Diouf in attack posed a constant threat, while Diao and Hamann controlled the midfield with the Sengal star in particular showing showing plenty of appetite for the battle and tremendous strength in the tackle.

But despite forcing a flurry of corners the Reds were unable to make that all-important breakthrough, mainly through a combination of poor finishing, good defending and lucky deflections, and it was the home side who finished the half on top, with ex-Anfield man Nick Barmby heading onto the bar after Harry Kewell had earlier done likewise.

Skipper Sami Hyypia shot over from close-range shortly after the break and Liverpool continued to press forward in numbers as they strived to break the deadlock.

The goal they craved eventually came in the 65th minute and it was a strike made in Senegal. Diouf crossed from the left and it was his compatriot Salif Diao who nipped in at the near post to convert past Robinson.

Leeds should have drawn level five minutes from time after John Arne Riise carelessly gave the ball away in his own half. Viduka then crossed to Kewell and the Aussie looked certain to net in front of the travelling Liverpudlians but much to their delight blazed his shot high over the bar.

It was the best chance the home side could muster and they can have no complaints over this defeat. For the next few hours at least, Liverpool are back on top of the Premiership table, and on the evidence of this performance no-one can begrudge them that.

Liverpool plan to trump Arsenal by offering Diomede for Evra
tribalfootball.com - October 19, 2002

Liverpool are ready to trump Arsenal for AS Monaco wing-back Patrice Evra.
The Senegal-born left-back is a target for both Premiership clubs and Liverpool hope to win the youngster's signature by offering ASM French winger Bernard Diomede in part-exchange.

Diomede has struggled at Liverpool over the last 18 months and was linked with a return to France over the summer.

"It all depended on Real, but it was not to be. In any case, things can change when I have more playing minutes at Racing and (Gerard) Houllier can see me in better condition."

Liverpool, Inter watch as Eck admits Rangers may struggle to keep Lovenkrands
tribalfootball.com - October 19, 2002

Rangers boss Alex McLeish has admitted the club may not be able to hold onto Danish winger Peter Lovenkrands.
New contract talks with Lovenkrands have been on-and-off for most of the year and the exciting attacker has attracted the interest of Liverpool and Inter Milan.

The Gers have been forced to reassess their spending this year and Eck revealed: "We just have to wait and see how the player's form continues and for the financial situation to become clearer.

"I don't think at this juncture we can make any decisions either way regarding contract talks."

He added: "I've not been put under pressure to sell. Like anybody else if someone came to the club and made an offer for a player that was difficult to refuse then I suppose we are in the same position as most of the major clubs across Europe."

it's a good sign..... they are still winning with normal performances. once they hit on the accelerator, nothing is impossible.

xmas period..... always a jinx for the Reds... let's hope it'll be a different story this season.

[Didjerama]

i tink the match is really a test to see if the liverpool side had quality in their depth squad....

no henchoz,heskey,owen,gerrard and many new un-regular boys playing..


my verdict: liverpool has good midfield back-up...but poor finishing strikers amongst its subs...

i tink diouf is capable of playing heskey role of ball-holder..he looks strong on that match and fell a few times onli...but his finishing from the start of the EPL has been poor

baros: if many of you tink he is a star in the making...my verdict is that he's not really a magnificent player..and to be frank he might just be a victim of the media who overhype him..but i reckon him to be a good player if given proper guidance

traore: my pick is for him to remain as a left-back...where he seems to excel...now with babbel back and xavier recovering..he might just lose his place if caragher shifts to his position...

salif diao: IMO,i expected him to be the last person to score...i remembered when houllier bought him,he was expected to play more of a defensive mid rather than an attacking player.one negative thing i notice abt him,he drifts in and out during games...sometimes he luks lost and sometimes he is going in there making crucial tackles...he is my pick to take over hamann spot once hamann leaves

[Virus]

Originally posted by Didjerama

Hamann will not leave Liverpool. Houllier knows how important he is to the team.

Top notch world class midfielder. He is one of the most important factor why Liverpool is doing so well for the past few seasons. He protects the back 4 so well and make excellent important challenges that the Liverpool look a lot more vunerable in those match without him playing. Together with Hyppia, I rate him as one of the best buy for the club.

He is to Liverpool what Keane and Viera is to Manu and Arsenal, a player to depend on when the chips are down.

here's what

Reds' fury at FHM article ^top

Liverpool FC say they are "absolutely sickened" by an article in the Australian edition of FHM that has made fun of the Hillsborough disaster.
The article, that appears in the November edition of the Australian version of the mens magazine, featured photographs with captions that have been described as a "disgrace" from the fateful day on 15 April 1989 in which 96 Liverpool fans died.
A Liverpool statement read: "Further to the publication of an article in FHM magazine, Australia (November 2002) regarding the Hillsborough disaster, the club is absolutely sickened to think that anyone could try to find humour in such an appalling tragedy.
"The captions reported to us are nothing short of a disgrace and it is beyond belief that anyone considered them worthy of publication."
FHM Australia's editor John Bastick has issued an apology following the publication which read: "On behalf of FHM Australia, I would like to formally and publicly apologise for the article printed in our November 2002 issue.
"The article was in no way meant to make fun or down play the tragic events of April 15, 1989. In essence our mandate at FHM is not to cast opinion or promote discussion but to simply entertain our readers.
"It is this last point that has been stretched by our treatment of the Hillsborough tragedy as we have acted without sensitivity and in a totally inappropriate manner.
"To the family and friends of those who died in this tragedy, we are truly sorry."

1-1 spartak as of now

[hacktic]

Owen 3 Spartak 1

Owen hattrick! wooHoo!

[hacktic]

Michael Owen grabbed a hat-trick as Liverpool came from behind to complete a crucial 3-1 Champions League win over Spartak Moscow.
Owen struck once in the first half after Spartak had taken an early lead and then the England ace struck twice in the final 22 minutes to clinch victory.
In a game that was mercifully free of the racist chanting that has marred English teams' European fixtures this season, Spartak took the lead in the 22nd minute when Emile Heskey's weak header back in his box allowed Alaxander Pavlenko to control and move the ball square to Alexander Danishevsky, who moved a yard further goalwards before lashing a shot into the roof of the net.
The lead lasted only six minutes when Owen got his first Champions League goal this season. Jamie Carragher surged down the right into acres of space and lifted a centre into the box where Owen nipped in to head a firm effort low past Maxim Levitsky.
Owen poached his second of the night on 68 minutes when Danny Murphy's free-kick curled in from the left for Sami Hyypia to power in a header which was deflected onto the bar.
The ball bounced down for the Finn to have another stab but it broke to Owen, a yard out, to lash home.
And he completed his hat-trick in the dying minutes, slotting the ball home from Murphy's cross after good work down the left from El-Hadji Diouf.
Other than Danishevsky's goal, Jerzy Dudek was relatively untroubled, although he did well to beat away the Russian's volley just before Owen gave Liverpool the lead.
Milan Baros also missed two gilt-edged chances in the first half for the visitors when his point-blank effort was smothered by Levitsky before he lashed a shot wide after good work by Owen.
Although Liverpool often struggled to come to terms with the tricky pitch and freezing conditions and produced some uncharacteristically sloppy passing at times, manager Gerard Houllier will be delighted to have this crucial win under his belt - the first ever by a British team on Spartak's home turf.
The Reds are now handily-placed in second spot in Group B, three points behind Valencia after their 2-2 draw with Basle.

[Tiesto]

Great Result! Owen is da man! :bounce:

:eek: :eek:
dudek doing a seaman? hehe. Chris kirkland's gonna look elsewhere? hehe

Goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek is ready to commit himself to Liverpool for the rest of his football career after recently extending his contract.
The Poland international last week signed a one-year extension to his current Liverpool contract which will see him remain on Merseyside until 2007.
But the 29-year-old is now keen to follow in the footsteps of his Arsenal counterpart David Seaman and play in the Premiership until he is 39.
He said: "I am now at an age where I am thinking this is where I want to spend the rest of my playing career.
"I am 29 now and I have to think about where I want to be for my last club. I hope to play another ten years for Liverpool.
"David Seaman is playing at a top club and he is 39, I would give anything to be at Liverpool at that age."

[hacktic]

Glenn Hoddle has insisted his Tottenham team will go to unbeaten Premiership leaders Liverpool "full of belief'' this Saturday.
Spurs climbed to third in the table with a 3-1 win over Bolton at White Hart Lane on Sunday and they face an upcoming run of games which will gauge the progress they have made this season.
Apart from the trip to Anfield, Hoddle's team also face Chelsea and Arsenal in the next few weeks, and according to the manager the team will approach those matches with their confidence high.
"When you win matches and are in a decent position in the league it gives you confidence, and you can go into games with belief,'' said Hoddle.
"You always hope your team has confidence in themselves and total belief when you go into any game.
"We'll go up to Liverpool with that belief. They are a very good side, they are top of the league, and I am already looking forward to it. We need to keep ticking along and keep our level of performance up as high as it can be.
"Ten games have gone and we are in a nice position. There is still a lot of work to be done but we have a lot of talent which has been unavailable and which is coming back slowly and surely. That is a good sign for the club.''
Spurs travel to Merseyside with Stephen Carr and Gus Poyet back in first-team action after injuries, while Darren Anderton, Anthony Gardner and Ledley King have also stepped up their returns for a game which will see Jamie Redknapp make an emotional first return to Anfield.

[hacktic]

Boss Gerard Houllier has described the last couple of games as being "very emotional" as he looks back over the events of the last 12 months.
Tuesday night's win in Russia saw Liverpool shatter Spartak Moscow's proud record of never having lost at home to an English club in European competition and it came almost a year to the day since they had become the first English side to win at Dynamo Kiev.
On that occasion, Phil Thompson was in charge of the Liverpool team for the first time as Houllier came out of intensive care following his life-saving heart surgery.
And after Tuesday's win Houllier said: "I wanted to do as well as Thommo when he came here without me. Thommo won 2-1 and I have won 3-1 so I have done even better!"
He added: "A year ago I was just out of the intensive care, so the last few days have been something special for me. We have won here when we were 1-0 down and that shows a lot for the future."

[hacktic]

the next big thing after patrik viera?

Salif Diao admits he is settling in well to life at Anfield and that the Liverpool fans have yet to see the best of him.

The Senegal midfielder turned in another impressive performance for the Reds alongside Didi Hamann at the Dynamo Stadium last night as the Premiership leaders moved a step closer to securing their qualification for the next phase of the Champions League.

He says: "We knew the game would be difficult. The pitch was difficult for both sides but we were very focussed. I have played in similar temperatures before, when I played in France, and it was totally different than playing in the English Premiership.

"I thought we played very well. It was a very good win for us and I enjoyed it. The lads are nice and have helped me settle in well at Liverpool.

"I am part of the squad and want to work hard and give 150 per cent for the team. The fans don't know me yet but I will show my best and try to do well."

Emile Heskey has admitted his love of Leicester persuaded him to help them in their battle against financial ruin.

The Liverpool striker has donated a six figure sum to the Gary Lineker led consortium, as they search for the £5 million needed to secure the future of the club.

Heskey spent many happy years at Filbert Street before making an £11 million move to Liverpool, and he was only too happy to dig deep into his pockets to help his former club.

He said: "I am a Leicester lad and Leicester gave me my first big chance in football.

"That's something I'll never forget. My family still live in Leicester and I still follow their progress.

"When I read about the trouble they were in, I felt I wanted to do my bit to help them out. I recognise I am in a very fortunate position to be able to help them. I hope they get sorted and get back into the Premiership."

Alex Ferguson today insisted Liverpool shouldn't be overlooked as genuine contenders for this season's Premiership crown.

The Manchester United boss can't understand why it is always just his own side and Arsenal who are mooted as potential champions, and he says Gerard Houllier's Liverpool are more than capable of finishing the season on top of the pile.

He said: "It is easy to look at Arsenal all the time and forget Liverpool. But they have shown great consistency, too.

"It is obvious that, if we want to get up there with them, we have to find the consistency we have shown over the past few years.

"Liverpool don't seem to get projected as title winners. It always seems to be Arsenal and ourselves.

"But you can't dismiss Liverpool this time. I think they are genuine title challengers. They are hard to beat. For Gerard Houllier to admit they can win it is unusual. He is usually so low key about it. But recently he has been very positive."

and by feeling good, it does not mean arrogrant....we are proud that now liverpool is doing well but did we gloat on the misery of others? In fact if there is any, the way i see, it is more targeted to pple who had been critical with Owen & Co. rather than on the rival clubs....

After a whole decade of living in the shadows of the rival clubs, you cant blame the fans being overconfidence with current situation.....

And no, i still dun think the current Pools fans are up to the match of ManU fans' arrgronce.... I have seen much worse during my 17 years of support for Liverpool...

Anyway, Walk On Liverpool, You will never walk alone...

Wow,Liverpool will travel to St. James Park 3 days after meeting Arsenal,not to mention the tough matches on the built up to these.

[ethanloi]

It's great to see Liverpool showing consistency. Liverpool last season away matches were not good enough. This season, they have improved on away matches. I really hope that Liverpool can win the EPL this season.

[coates]

in 1999/2000, they were fourth.
in 2000/2001, they were third.
in 2001/2002. they were second.
hopefully in 2002/2002, they will be first.
:D

The previous time when Liverpool(Rush, Barnes and Co.) came to Singapore(forgot which year, cos that time still a kid), they were playing a friendly match with Arsenal in Kallang stadium...

Tat time I managed to place a hand on John Barnes shoulder and his botak head....heh heh...Imagine, John Barnes....heh heh

[Didjerama]

i tink liverpool still not playing at full gear....maybe there are some dept still trying to werk together,esp at the midfield and front 2...with the addition of new players..

i have yet to see a confirm first 11 so far in any games....good thing:it shows we have good depth in the squad,and the pool playing style this year have varied a lot...bad thing:sometimes u wonder why they cant even string 5 passes together at times,and some new players look lost though...

my pick is that for european games,they shud stick to the basic first 11 they ahd last season...dudek carragher hechoz hyypia xavier(traore).....hamann,riise,murphy,gerrard.....heskey owen..

in champs league,u cant afford to lose balls easily cos the italians/spaniards LOVE to pass ball ard and keep possession...sometimes they just frustrate the opponents...

John Barnes also attacking player mah! He is an attacking midfielder.

My fav liverpool player in that era.

Liverpool have laughed off newspaper reports that they are preparing a new year swoop for former Manchester United defender Jaap Stam.

The Dutch international is reportedly available for transfer from Italian giants Lazio, but Liverpool are definitely not in the market for his services.

Assistant boss Phil Thompson said today: "This story is absolute nonsense."
