Monday Morning Pitch Talk

Liverpool took out Chelsea yesterday in the second biggest match-up of Super Bowl Sunday. Plus, in a highlight of my morning, a Guardian reporter used "gimp" to describe the tussle: "The slight difference in the set-up of their central midfields, with Liverpool playing 4-2-3-1 and Chelsea 4-1-4-1, means that the two mould into each other. These sides fit like a gimp mask, restricting each others' oxygen and movement."


Wow. But with i5hooligans on the putz, I'll post my football ramblings in the Lodge, much to the predictable dismay of Goose and Casey, if Casey takes off his Spock ears and actually logs on. Sunday's brace from Torres hopefully is a sign of things to come and that the Spaniard is rounding into last season's blistering form that saw him net 30 goals.

I'm curious on Jimbo's take on the Premier League action through the transfer window (which end today, apparently extended due to the snowstorms in England). And Champions League thoughts from Train (since his Blues did not look good & Scolari looks like a much lesser version of the Special One.


Spurs bought back Robbie Keane from Liverpool at the deadline. His style of play obviously doesn't suit a style of play like a manager like Benitez establishes. I wish him luck at Tottenham. Kuyt is just better and the same type of player. I do wish we would have signed at least one speedy winger for the second half of the league fixtures, but apparently it twas not to be. Andrei Arshavin to Seatown's Arsenal squad? Let's get this thing rolling again!
