The Liverpool team which would win the league (circa man utd team of 90's)

[tuseef]

The LFC team to win the league

Think about it in terms of manure's typical late 90s team and how we can match up player for player, given we play exactly the same tactics:

....................................Dudek/Scmeichel

Babbel/Neville.....Hyppia/Stam........Henchoz/Silvestre........Riise/Neville

Gerard/Becks..........Hamann/Keane......Cheyrou/Scholes.......Diouf/Giggs

.......................Owen/Van Nistelrooy...... Heskey/Cole

Baros/Solksjaer
Murphy/Butt

look at that team? can you honestly say that man utd's team is vastly better????

Think about it! If we only played positively, we can murder teams in a 4-4-2 played to a carbon copy of 90s manure. i don't like to accord them too much but if we want to dominate the next decade, sad to say, we'll have to learn something from them. now, we have the kind of team that can match what they had - man for man. in some areas, we're even better (riise, in particular).

Here are a few facts/reasons:

Schmeichel is better than Dudek

Becks is better than Gerrard

Keane is three times the player of Hamann

Scholes is world class.

Giggs is world class.

RVN versus Owen - wash

Cole versus Heskey - Cole/Yorke/Solksjaer are all better than Heskey

[tuseef]

just for those dim wits out there i will clarify my original post ;)

i wasnt suggesting liverpool buy schemichal, keane,giggs, beckham etc to win the league

i was merely comparing the man utd team of the late 90's (of the treble era) with liverpools team of 2002

and seeing how they match up (thats correct...the liverpool team is on the left hand of the equation and the man utd team on the right hand side)

get it now?

know that for a fact do you?

Becks is better than Gerrard

---dont make me laugh

Keane is three times the player of Hamann

---agreed..but not 3 times as good surely

Scholes is world class.

---did i say he wasnt? also Cheyrou is much like Ballack (do u think ballack is crap)

Giggs is world class.

---see above..and u saying Diouf isnt?

RVN versus Owen - wash

---VanKneeStillSore is nowhere near as good as Owen..do i need to remind you Ruud didnt score from further than 9 yards out all season?

Cole versus Heskey - Cole/Yorke/Solksjaer are all better than Heskey

---yes they are...but we are talking about a TEAM here..not just 11 individuals


also if your team is soo much better than ours..how come we finished ahead of you?

[insert lame-ass manure excuse here]

Bit of a strange excercise, innit? I mean, quite apart from the fact that, far from having to learn from United, we just have to remember to do what we have always done best. United, in the words of their manager himself, just started doing what Liverpool do, at a time when Liverpool themselves forgot how to.

Beyond that, it is not comparative personell, or indeed similar tactics that win titles. That's too simplistic. The only vaguely valid conclusion you could draw from that is that we still have some work to do in the midfield department. Because, without a doubt,

Beckham - Keane - Scholes - Giggs

was the strongest midfield any English side has fielded since Digger, Jan and Whelan bestrode the turf.

the point i was trying to make was that we have the players and the ability to really hurt teams if GH chose to do so (rather than defend defend defend all the time)

i was merely using manures treble winning team as an example...i thought by comparing player like for like...it would give some LFC fans real hope that "yes...this teams good enough to win the league!"

if i was giving the impression that "lets copy manure" then i apologise (must work on my wording ;) )

face it....12 years is too long for the tradition of our great club

We were too far behind by the time we found our form right before Christmas. Besides, last year doesn't matter any more does it?

How long were you going to cling to the "at least we finished ahead of United" feelings anyways?

You still haven't won the Premiership, have ya.

The problem with comparing two clubs or for that matter two sides is that you must get all the facts right first.To start Van Nistlelrooy has not played on a Utd team that has won anything .Also you fall into the same trap as a vast majority of Liverpool fans and in deed the management by playing Gerrard on the right he is a central midfielder it is his best position.Hamann is a donkey a carthorse,a poor mans Vieira or for that matter Keane.Manchester United do not have the greatest defence but they have midfielders who work very hard and strikers who can kill you with pace and finishing power.The only way that you will get killed by Hesky is if you die from laughing at him.The only team to have successfully challenged Utd has been Arsenal without spending vast sums of money and that is how it will continue.Finally who are Cheyrou and Diouf anyone can play well in the sun for a few weeks but will they cut it on the big stage I somehow doubt it.If you don't believe me about fair weather players ask any Utd fan about Veron.

I'd be the first to admit that Veron is right to call his first season with us a disaster. Our first trophyless season since the year before our Treble.
However, I hope he has his head on straight and I FULLY expect him to be a major force in the league this year.
