in theory Keane will improve Liverpool becauise of exactly the qualities mentioned already
but in practice they will remain hamstrung by Benitez' bizarre tactical dogma why the £#%&! does a top class coach at a huge club like the vermin with their multi-million pound team need to spend the best part of every 90 minutes waving his £#%&!ing arms around on the touchline saying now you go here, now you do this etc? United's players switch positions, switch the play, switch the tempo and switch the lights off for the opposition with absolute minimum fuss from the touchline that's what training top class players is for you horrible fat shortarse smug gobshite @#%&! |

So Keane's role at Spurs was actually somewhat similar to what Torres does at Liverpool, meaning that he really wasn't particularly creative. This is reflected in the stats too. We can see that over the past two seasons, Berbatov touched the ball an average of 16% more times per match than Keane (this was even more pronounced last season), that he contributed double the number of assists per match, and that his goal rate was 24% lower. Yet Benitez seems to have bought him on the basis that he's going to be his new split striker/winger type. Keane is obviously a more imaginative player than someone like Kuijt, and he fits the Benitez profile as far as work rate, but he's never struck me as hugely creative, so to me it's a bit of a strange signing for such a large amount of money. Although you have to think that he'll start scoring again eventually, even if it's at a lower rate than what he managed at Spurs in a more advanced role. |

i don't doubt your research for a moment serenity, but i still tend to think Keane could bring a little bit of imagination and surprise to the vermin attack - were he not to be inevitably hamstrung by Benitez' bizarre tactical dogma, by which i mean his apparent reluctance to allow (or indeed enable) his team to play off the cuff a lot more than they do. Surely to £#%&! Gerrard & co should be capable of reading where the opposition's weaknesses are and know how to exploit them without all that constant arm-waving and pointing from the idiot on the sidelines?

As much as he achieved in Spain, I don't think his Valencia sides would have been capable of winning the league in England in recent years. They really only had the success they did because Barca and Madrid were both going through slightly iffy phases at the time (though you obviously have to credit Benitez for being able to capitalise on this). In fact, I suspect that if you transplanted them to England they would have ended up in pretty much the same kind of situation as Liverpool. |

now i only got a link to the 1st half at the home of the former league leaders
but i don't recognise it from this line in the BBC website match report:

Presumably they were superb in the second half? |

Liverpool are pure turd. But hey, they had 20 corners. The skaus will be happy with that. @#%&!s |

and another thing, while i feeling obsessed...
the world of football pundityr made mountains out of the vermin turning us over despite the absence of their two great world class stars - carragher aside, of course
presumably they only drew at home with stoke city fc today despite the presence of the same two great world class stars? when that was in my head it made sense btw |
