      No such thing as skillful opposition players, just our players being sh*t and letting them play well.  ;) :D

      he was marked out of the game by Arbeloa, legally as well not like he does at rm

      Yep, few grumbles when Rafa played our RB Arbeloa at LB but doing so annulled Messi and his cutting in with our DM (Lucas was it) doubling up when he did cut in.

      Lucas didn't even play for us then I don't think, this was 2006-07 season wasn't it? Lucas joined us in the summer at the end of the season. But yes, Arbeloa had Messi in his poclet all game with ease!

      Lewis Dunk.

      Who else can score a goal as good as this and not be considered the most skillful player to grace Anfield?

      Liverpool 6-1 Brighton - Official Highlights and Goals | FA Cup 5th Round 19-02-12

      I suppose Liam Bridcutt could be considered one of the best opposition poachers judging by his finishes in the same game.

      Gotta admit though, this is possibly as good skillful as Dunk's.

      Take a bow Mr John Pantsil

      Liverpool - Fulham - goal

      And since 3 is the magic number, let's have a third of pure skill.

      What a finish this is from, ex bitter, Joleon Lescott

      Lescott own Goal vs Liverpool

       I suppose we should include Gary Sprake for scoring a goal at the Kop end for Liverpool,I will add he did this single handed and the applause he got from the Kop was deafening.

      Anyone remember Aleksandr Mostovoi for Celta Vigo?!

      I remember him tearing us apart. He was on another level.

      I think so yeah. If not maybe Didi Hamman or did he leave the previous summer after our Champions League win?

      Had another word with my ol'man again after a few tins saturday night and the names ;
      Liam Brady(Arsenal)...say no more..scored in a 3-1 win at Anfield with Alan Ball getting the other 2
      John Robertson(Derby & Notts Forest)..great winger who got loads of stick but played really well..He scored the pen in the 78 League Cup Final replay at Old Trafford..Jesus, i'd completely forgot about that Final...McDermott had two goals disallowed as well..
      and a certain Michael Robinson who we signed shortly after playin a blinder for Brighton at Anfield with Jimmy Case knocking us out of the FA cup..first Sunday game at Anfield apparently..and I never realised Jimmy Melia was their manager at the time..
      You can't beat a good chin wag and a Pint with a wise old Red...

      Not sure about individual players but I have never seen us put away as easily as Valencia did those years ago. Aimar was instrumental

      It was Momo.
      I was gutted for the lad when Mascherano got the nod ahead of him for the final.
      Obviously not knowing how boss the monster was going to be.
