Liverpool vs Ac Milan.

Shak a lak a

Great work by Joey.

Good goal. After like 50 attempts.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Terrible mistake by Essien, ALlen pounces, hits the post, Sterling picks up the rebound and ABbiati saves. Allen smashes in the rebound.

 

[Mors]

Well done Allen, I was about to have a good moan about that finishing from him and sterling who should be doing much much better with that amount of time. Good slot from the rebound. I think Allen is actually capable of a decent amount of goals if he played a little further forward, usually is quite smart in the box.

Odd that Lambert is looking hefty. Didn't he arrive at training a week early to be as fit as possible?

I'd say Rickie is one of those lads who puts on a half stone after a tough weekend on the beer. He prob had a few pints and a burger the night of that piss up they had as depicted in Gerrard's pic and poor Rickie is now having a fat day.

 

[Hansern]

Who needs Suarez! We've got Sterling!

 

[Modo]

Is Lambert playing on the wing?

 

[gkmacca]

Good passing, good movement, good pace so far.

 

[Hansern]

Muntari is a cunt

They may well have told him to bulk up & work it off.

Bear in mind how the first team this year all looked unfit & were blowing in matches the first third of the season. It wouldn't surprise me if Rodgers has a fitness regime that kills players early on, or works them less so that they hit peak fitness coming into the final third of the season.

 

[James]

Lambert is looking a lot like a mid table striker at the moment. Mid table of the Championship.

 

[the_dude]

ac milan are fucking shit

 

[gkmacca]

Come on Rickie, get a goal and settle yourself down.

 

[Buddha]

Great run by Ibe

 

[gkmacca]

Damn. He looks very short of confidence.

 

[cloggypop]

Lambert is meant to be boss at pens

 

[Hansern]

Lambert hasnt missed a pen before I think, had to happen. (Not many at least)

 

[Shadey]

Just knew he'd fluff that poor lad

 

[acejmk]

Bloody hell

 

[Modo]

Knew he'd miss

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Milan had a lot of pressure there - and Toure made a great tackle. Ibe gets the ball, and is just great on the break and eventually Raheem wins a peno. Lambert's kick is saved rather easily by Abbiatti. As Macca said, he looks a bit bereft of confidence ... maybe he's not fit? Or nervous?

 

[Nir.Barak]

Lambert is so nervous that he may have a Peter Crouch like start to his career.

 

[Modo]

The fuck are Milan doing

 

[James]

Lambert misses his first penalty in about a thousand attempts.

 

[Cerberus]

All that burger juice is gone to his head.

 

[Mors]

Hahahaha never missed a pen, comes to us and and misses his first one! Written in the stars that. Wasn't a pen for me, sterling took a few steps and then decided to go over. Was contact, but not when he went over

 

[the_dude]

looks like he has been embracing the american dream a little too much with 50 mcdonalds a day

 

[gkmacca]

Lambert is so nervous that he may have a Peter Crouch like start to his career.

You could well be right. He looks like he's desperate for a goal to calm himself down.

 

[Modo]

Why are you nervous in a friendly?

 

[Buddha]

I was thinking about 5 mins before the pen that someone needs to take Lambert aside and tell him to get past all this living a boyhood dream stuff. He has a job to do and if he keeps telling himself he's lucky to be there he'll end up undermining himself.

That pen smacked of someone feeling the pressure of living up to his own fantasy.
