GONZALEZ EXCITES RAFA


Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is titillated by the prospect of fielding new signing Mark Gonzalez in The Premiership.

The Reds finally landed their man this summer when the Home Office granted the Merseysiders permission to bring in the Chilean winger, having been refused a work permit 12 months ago.

The plan is unfolding slowly Gonzalez seems to be first choice on left of midfield, Zendon a back up for central mifielder, Paletta in defence with Aurelio as left back and crazy Bellamy up front, sounds great but it leaves out Gerrards favourite link up player and probably one of the best left sided players in the world Risse, and we still dont have our right winger or world class striker.

We have been very badly let down by the transfer deadline in Rafas other dealings lets hope so lets hope we get all our summer transfers sorted soon.

I don't think Gonzalez threatening Riise is a problem, the way I see it that's exactly why Rafa bought him.

It's a basic formula that if you want to get the best from players you have to make sure they know that there are good players who can play in their position if their form drops, so that way they've got even more motivation to play their best week in, week out, or they get dropped.

The last thing you want in a player is Alen Hansen's C-word - COMPLACENCY

thats true but it is a concern that we have so many good players on the left and so few on the right

"Disturbing news this. Apparently, our beloved old ground is sinking.

Two weeks ago, after noticing my maltesers kept rolling off my coffee table, I subscribed to 'Sudsidence Weekly', a popular magazine amomgst owners of horizontally challenged homes. The editor of said magazine, one 'C. U. Tipping', had recently interviewed Rick Parry, about a potentially disasterous problem at Anfield. The interview took place in the front of the Kop stand.

Tipping 'So, Mr Parry, you seem to have a subsidence problem. How did you first notice it?'
Parry 'The pitch is sinking towards the Main Stand - making a slope from right to left as we look at it. We first noticed we had a problem when Djimmi Traore kept mysteriosly falling over ....'
Tipping 'Is it also true that this is the reason your left sided players can't pass wind, never mind a football?'
Parry 'No, that is not true. Our left sided players can all pass wind.'
Tipping 'So what are you doing to rectify the problem?'
Parry 'Well, as the slope in the pitch is from right to left, we have decided to overload the team with left sided players. We now have Traore, Warnock, Riise, Aurelio, Zenden, Kewell and Gonzalez. We intend to play a sideways four-four-two system. We will play four players on the left flank, four in the middle, and just two on the right. That way, when the ball keeps rolling to the left of the pitch, we will have plenty of players to capitalise!'
Tipping 'Are you not trying to reinforce the bedrock, to prevent any more subsidence?
Parry 'Well, we have employed one of our chaps to crawl around the sewer under the Main Stand. Salif, I think his name was.'
Tipping 'Will he locate the problem?'
Parry 'Mr Benitez said 'He is the problem', whatever that means. He's been down there for over a month now ....'
Tipping 'So, just to clarify, your pitch is subsiding - and your solution has been to buy loads of left sided players to prevent the ball rolling out of play. And you've buried someone called 'Salif' alive.
Parry 'Yes, that just about sums it up.'
Tipping 'So what happens when you change ends at half time?'
Parry 'Bugger!' "

very good and probably our best chance of getting some money back on salif `the new viera´ ( i cry every time i think about it) would be as landfill.
