Camara and Sissoko were boss.
If you look at the more reasonable numbers -- 1 to 25
Who gives a sh*t, it's a shirt number.
If you're not interested, f**k off.
45!Was thinking it was a pretty poor list of players when reading the post by Billy.
Lately, No 9:El Hadji Diouf, Djibril Cissé, Andy Carroll, Iago Aspas, Rickie Lambert, Christian BentekeVsFernando Torres, Ian Rush, Robbie Fowler, Nicolas Anelka,
This is nothing against you mate, it's just something I see constantly from Liverpool fans. They bang on about how great Anelka was for us and I just don't remember it at all. The same is said for Bellamy, especially his first stint here. I just remember average. I don't know whether people hold Anelka higher because of what he'd achieved and who he'd played for previously and what he went on to achieve and play for later or just the fact that because we didn't sign him, we did get Diouf which makes people think of Anelka as some sort of saviour. But, I just don't remember him being that good for us.And his goalscoring record for us isn't that good.One goal in every five games for the League is a considerably worse ratio than Cisse and Benteke.
Because with Anelka it was what around a half season he spent with us, but it wasn't about his goals, it was all about his movement and use of the ball. End of the day he gets remembered fondly because when he pulled on the red shirt, he tried and should of been bought by Houllier instead of the other c**t. And we looked good with a forward 3 of Owen, Anelka and Heskey.Loved watching Anelka during his time with the reds - a very clever footballer.
Numbers mean nothing now, their just squad numbers.You could say 7 has had a bad number of players, actually probably more bad than good.Any statos out there?

That could be because you were what; ten Billy? I doubt you remember much from that age. I suppose tho', you could have been one of those "wee Granda" type of kids who was old before his time but I doubt it.
Really? Given me nickname from me mates is Granddad, given me mam will happily tell everybody I was born aged 70, given I remember the treble year like it was yesterday (the year before Anelka arrived), given I remember us in the 90s very clearly.You're questioning whether or not I remember Anelka's time here, I don't remember it being that great.
Still a kid though Billy, I'm telling you from experience of being at virtually every game and watching Anelka, he was boss for us and should of been bought. Which is why I mentioned his movement etc, end of the day at the time, Owen was our main goalscorer and he had a number of goals set up by Anelka. In fact two games I can definitely think of were the Newcastle game, when the floodlights went out before the match started and the Blackburn game, both evening games as well, were Anelka was probably man of the match in both games.
In hindsight of course, I'd rather we did sign him on a permanent deal though ahead of Diouf.
