I dont get Benitez. He leaves out his best players in the EPL and then plays them all in the first round of the Carling Cup.

Le moor: i have got to agree with you..I'm confused why play Torres in the Carling cup instead of the Premiership that don't make sense...Benitez is on crack I've decided!!!

Yes but thank god for Torres else i swear we could have been embarrassed tonight.

Torres looks every bit the part. He has to start EVERY game. Also watching him tonight has made me realise how crap Dirk Kuyt is. Weve been watching and waiting for that Viking looking rass to do summon from time, but the fact is hes shite.

Commenatator has just said "if Benitez trys to leave out Torres again, he'll be lynched".....lol.

Totally agree le moor. at first i thought kuyt would turn out to be a decent player for us since he was scoring a few goals at the start of last season. as last season progressed however i began to notice his limitations as a striker. his first touch is suspect, his finishing is not convincing, and he went on a two month goal drought as well as another goal drought lasting for a month. my mind was made up on kuyt and i decided that he wasnt a match winner after watching the glaring misses he made at the nou camp. that was arguably our biggest game of the season, and in a game where it was clear that we werent going to create many chances, he goes on to waste two golden opportunities. im just glad we won that match in the end. barca was just one example. through out last season, imo he just didnt show that cutting edge that match winning forwards possess. i was in weeping that we missed out on berbatov or martins for kuyt.

Torres, looks like the kind of player we've been missing for the past three seasons. his quality has exposed just how second rate all our strikers have been since owen left.

Oh yeh, and torres's performance last night just proved how flawed rafa's rotation is. i mean, rotating your best forward just for the sake of rotation?? i guess we should also rotate the manager just for the sake of it as well.

Hes crap-period. All this talk about how "hard he works for the team". Yeah right, i'd rather have a lazy goalscorer thanks...lol

We'd get good money for him at his age, why not sell him and renew our hunt for another striker to accompany Torres.

SOCCER ACE PLAYED X-GAMES WITH ME
By Matthew Acton

FOOTIE star Xbox addict Jermaine Pennant pushed all the right buttons when he bedded stunning model Brooke Healey.
This week the Liverpool ace's ex-girlfriend Amii Grove revealed he was completely hooked on his big boys' computer toys.

But when former air hostess Brooke met the soccer bad boy—sent off during his club's 1-1 draw with Porto on Tuesday—he was definitely more interested in playing games with her.

Giggling
And one of his favourites was Tarzan. Jermaine loved to swing her over his shoulder and let out an ear-splitting jungle cry before making her go ooh ooh aaahhahhahhaaaaa.

"He was a real animal in bed— in the best possible way," Brooke told the News of the World.

"He was strong and assertive, but not too rough and certainly made sure I was having as good a time as he was.

"When he swung me over his shoulder and whisked me into the bedroom it was hilarious. I couldn't stop giggling when he pretended to be Tarzan.

"He bashed himself on the chest and did the silly cry to go with it."

Brooke babbled: "He could go on for ages and knew every position in the book.

"He's got a round bed and loved throwing me around on it. I felt like a jelly bean bouncing around on the mattress." Jermaine's former live-in lover Amii, 21, exposed Jermaine as a love Cheetah. She said she walked out on him after she found CCTV footage of him with a girl at their house.

She took revenge by destroying £200,000 of his designer gear. And she told how Jermaine was hooked on gory Xbox war game Call of Duty 3.

Brooke confirmed:"He is really into his computer games. It was one of the things he talked about—though not for long because it's not my thing.

"He has a massive TV with an Xbox and a couple of PlayStations. He had all the bits —steering wheels, joysticks and even a pretend gun.

"He had dozens of games. It's like a little boy's dream, all the gear he has." But it was X-rated action, not his Xbox, that Jermaine was interested in when he met Brooke on a night out in London last year.

They exchanged numbers and randy Jermaine, 24, sent her a string of suggestive texts.

When she got a modelling job in Manchester, he saw his big chance to score. She said: "I told Jermaine I was going up to Manchester and he said, ‘Why don't you stay at my place?' He said he had a beautiful place so I thought, ‘Why not'."

Brooke, who has also dated Spurs' Darren Bent, added: "I love being with footballers because they've plenty of money and you know you'll get a good time. Jermaine always made sure we were drinking Cristal champagne." In Manchester, he treated her to a meal before taking her back to his £1.3million home in Hale Village, near Runcorn, Cheshire.

The five-bedroom new-build is ringed by a security fence and the grounds are patrolled by two dogs. By the front door is a tacky sign saying ‘Players' Lounge'. Brooke said: "I remember feeling very excited, but a bit nervous, when we got back to his place.

"He really put me at ease. He kissed me, then threw me over his shoulder and took me upstairs. He was really athletic and we tried loads of positions. We were at it for four hours."

The next night they went clubbing before heading to his place for more sex. "It wasn't as good this time," said Brooke. "We were both a bit tired."

The pair kept in touch until he began dating Amii. "I heard about her on the grapevine," said Brooke.

"Models all talk and we know what footballers are like. It was no big deal. We just lost touch."

He's obviously more interested in his Xbox, Brooke.

The last design i posted earlier on in the thread has now been improved upon. We're planning on having a larger capacity than the 60,000 starter size. Probably will be reaching somewhere in the high 70,000s. (larger than Man U and Arsenal of course.....lol) So the stadium is being built specifically with future expansion in mind.

Its gonna be be one god damm intimidating place with the kop holding some 18,000 seats and designed using sound engineers to help scare the shit out of opponents...lol

Liverpool Football Club have unveiled stunning new designs for their stadium in Stanley Park, coinciding with the submission of the official planning application to Liverpool City Council.
Scheduled to open in 2010, the 60,000 seat stadium has been designed to allow for future expansion which could see the capacity increased to the high seventies dependent on improvements to the local transport infrastructure.
The central importance of the Kop has also been recognised with a hugely increased capacity to 18,000 seats in a single tier stand.
The stadium represents an investment of around £300 million by the Club in North Liverpool.
Chief Executive Rick Parry said: "It was always the aim of the Club, with the backing of Tom Hicks and George Gillett, to be world class both on and off the pitch. When they took over, the first thing Tom and George wanted to do was review the stadium both in terms of the design and the capacity. This is the immensely impressive result of their deliberations.
"We're creating a stadium that not only the Club and supporters can be proud of, but something the whole city can be proud of. Liverpool as a city is on the move and deserves world class developments like this.
"Our architects HKS have a wealth of experience and have fused a very contemporary and unique vision together with the values that are crucial to Liverpool Football Club. A critical design consideration was to ensure the stadium sat naturally within its park environment, complementing its surroundings and a huge amount of work has been done to ensure this happens. The stadium is a massive investment in North Liverpool and a key driver in the regeneration of the whole area.
"The asymmetric design sets it apart from other new stadia, as it is a clear move away from what is becoming the traditional bowl model. It recognises and makes reference to the fact that English football grounds were historically asymmetric. We make no apologies for that, we've gone out of our way to embrace that culture and it works
exceptionally well for both the new ground and its location within Stanley Park. This new design will be unmistakably Liverpool and instantly recognisable as our stadium.
"We've also recognised the central importance of the Kop. It will have a significantly increased capacity of 18,000 seats in a single tier structure that will be the heartbeat of the new stadium. The rake of the stand will be steeper and the seats tighter together, with the acoustics of the roof designed to accentuate the atmosphere during games."
Steven Gerrard said: "To be honest I knew it was going to be great but after spending five minutes looking at the plans I was just completely blown away by it. We are Liverpool Football Club and we expect the best and this will be the best. I've played in some special stadiums but this is something special and it's so important that we are not seen to be copying off another club."
Jamie Carragher added: "Everyone is excited by the new plans. They are spectacular. We've got a great stadium at the minute in Anfield, but the designers have come up with something completely unique. I've never seen a football ground like it and that's what makes it so special."

Rafa Benitez added his voice of support to the new stadium design: "The facilities the new stadium will provide are going to ensure that the future of this club is a great one and this is what our fans deserve."
Rick Parry continued: "Having thoroughly addressed the environmental and transportation issues, we already have consent for a 60,000 seat stadium which is why we have submitted the new design with that capacity. This is the most straightforward way of delivering what are radical new designs as our aspiration has always been to have the stadium ready for 2010, which means beginning work on site as soon as possible.
"But we make no secret of the fact that we want a greater capacity and will consider putting in a second planning application when appropriate. However, we fully recognise for this to happen that all the associated transport requirements need to be in place. To increase the capacity above 60,000 we need a further step change in our
approach which is why we, together with Liverpool City Council and Merseytravel, are investigating the possibility of reopening the Bootle Branch railway line for passenger use. That would be a fantastic solution, not just for the Club, but for all the people of North Liverpool."
Xabi Alonso concluded by saying: "Liverpool is famous for the atmosphere generated by its fans and from looking at the pictures I'm sure the new stadium will be just as atmospheric, if not more so. Anfield is really special, we all know that, but the new stadium will be a great one and I'm looking forward to playing there."
The new ground will also incorporate dedicated facilities for the Anfield Sport and Community Centre and Liverpool Hope University and external facilities will include tennis courts and new multi-use games area.
The unique asymmetrical design, with a huge 18,000 seat single-tier Kop at its heart, has been developed as part of the overall regeneration of Stanley Park. The West side is concave in form effectively embracing the park and providing changing facilities for those young amateur players and their parents who use the existing pitches which will be retained within the park.
The North and East facades take a convex form respectively overlooking Priory Road and Utting Avenue across gardens which will be developed in the tradition of Stanley Park. The South facade will be of completely different form, taking on a more formal appearance appropriate to its civic function at the northern edge to the new Anfield Plaza development which will replace the current ground.
The stadium will have a stone work base on the North, West and East sides with mainly glass facades above. The South side will be clad in metal and overlook the Plaza. One striking feature will see the South East and South West corners of the stadium visually open, providing views from the park deep into its heart.

Shocking. No urgency, no passion. If there was any urgency then that would put a huge question mark on the player's ability.
