I can't claim that, doc, but I've heard the man himself pronounce it in an interview and I also asked my godson's mum, who is Dutch. In both cases I'm sure I heard a little "u-umlaut" sound just before the "t". A lot of European languages pronounce "y" in that way. It comes from the Greek, where the letter originates.

BTW that prize dork Lawrenson also calls our manager BENNY-tez.

Thinking about it JJ, I could well have framed the question, "do you pronounce it Kout or Kite?" Which would have left little room for more exact correction on their part.

He should just put 'Deadly' on the back of his jersey.

Isn't it Daniel Pa-chay-o? THis commentator is saying Pa-check-o.

I don't speak that much Espanol but I'm reasonably sure the commentator's right.
 
Yeah, Johnson has looked pretty good without really trying.

Anyways, what a waste of time watching that game was.
 
2nd half team.

Skrtel, Johnson and Kuyt were excellent.

N'Gog, Kelly, Pachecho and Benayoun were good.

The rest were pre season form.

Okay result, the lads are knackered with heavy training. Should have gotten a goal though.
 
Typically turgid friendly in which we didn't really create much, but where we learned a little bit.

1. Johnson looks a class cat

2. Spearing is a very decent CM

3. Dossena is leaving.

4. Voronin has quick feet, a quick mind and a slow body

...add your own

Johnson isn't starting his first game at LB for nothing. Should cover be needed and all that.

Doc joins the hippies. 😉

Good summary of Voronin. 'Twas ever thus though.
 
Stephen Darby isn't exaclty comforable with the ball at his feet is he?

Kelly impressed me though, as did Spearing.

Plessis will never make it, and the sooner he's loaned, sacked, transfered or given away the better. His defensive minded passing is worse than Lucas. Always backwards..

I saw that I garbled 'act'- and then I realised he kinda reminds me of the Cat off Red Dwarf. I think I'm going to try and see if I can make it stick as a nickname.

Well, that was gash.

We'll not be champions this season either.

Dossena isnt back yet because he was at the confederations cup like the Spanish players and Aurelio is crocked so i'm guessing that's why...

You're not looking at the bigger picture Reb.

He was sloppy in the first half.

After watching the delayed coverage on LFCTV

Most of the youngsters are looking ok, nemeth and pacheco stand out well as does kelly and darby

Babel Looks like a different player in his effort alone

The comment on Voronin is spectacularly accurate

Plessis has not got it end of story he is about 10secs too late with everything, and only 4 passes forward in the entire 45mins on the pitch

How is Wash so strong on the ball, he looks like a thin streak of piss

All in all a really really sedate game!!
 
Carragher was flawless.
Pacheco, Johnson, Yossi and Kelly were good.
Everyone else was average with the exception of Deadly, who (and this was a real weird feeling) as the first half went on i realised i was REALLY looking forward to seeing.
Dull game but it doesnt matter, good to play a decentish and fit team who worked the lads out. No injuries. No wuckin forries mate.
 
Pacheco did what he always does in the reserves though. Makes the wrong decision. He has the technique, vision etc. But he needs start making the right choices.
