And, who is this El Zahar guy? saw him in the Liege match, who is he exactly?

I think Degen isn't fully settled or something yet, and Rafa doesn't like to use players who aren't settled.. Skrtel took a few weeks to play IIRC..

El Zhar is a 21(?) year old Moroccan international we signed from some French team (St-Etienne?) in 2006.. Hasn't featured much, until this year, where he's come off the bench in a few games.. He looks an exciting prospect, I don't think he'll be a world-class winger, but a very good one..

MaschPotato · 01-09-2008, 11:32 AM

Degen's recovering from injury he picked up in one of the friendly matches.El Zhar is like 22 and he isn't good enough in my opinion

LewisLaa · 01-09-2008, 11:40 AM

El Zhar has been impressive in the reserves, though I have noticed he's a bit of a show pony, reminds me slightly of quaresma.

However, you also needa shut the lalala up from your previous post, so lalalala.

ManU fans, come on. Contribute like Matieo or leave, there is your own thread.

All the doglalalala aside, I think that without Captain England and the best striker in the world, an away draw is a good result.

Also, Degen has been injured.

It's called banter. You're meant to say something bad (but true) about MUFC and not ruin it by spitting your dummy out.

LwkguyPlayer · 01-09-2008, 12:46 PM

i think el zhar is good as imo he came on agaisnt sunderland and middesbrough and really changed the game and i think he had a big part in the games liverpool won

Liverpool have today confirmed Fernando Torres suffered a hamstring tear during the Reds' goalless draw at Aston Villa on Sunday.
The Liverpool striker limped off during the first half of the match and has been forced to withdraw from the Spanish squad for their forthcoming World Cup qualifiers against Bosnia and Armenia.

"A scan this afternoon has confirmed a hamstring tear in Fernando's right leg. He is expected to be out for between two and three weeks," said a club spokesman.

obviously this is bad news but i can see this as Keane's chance to shine? revert back to the 4-2-3-1 formation with Robbie on his own.Dont get me wrong i absolutely hate it when Torres doesnt play but i am really conifdent going into this match

NEW BOY RIERA IN TEN FACTS

1. Riera is known as Spain's answer to Middlesbrough's Stewart Downing but when among friends he goes by the nickname of 'Flossy.'

2. Albert was born on April 15, 1982 and shares his birthday with actress Emma Watson and former Blue Peter presenter Katy Hill.

3. Riera can boast to have matched new teammate Steven Gerrard's achievement of scoring in a UEFA Cup final. However, unlike Stevie, it would prove to be a bitter-sweet occasion for the winger, as Espanyol eventually succumbed to a penalty shoot-out defeat in the 2007 final against Sevilla. The match had ended 2-2 after extra-time.

4. Albert can already claim to have some Barclays Premier League experience having made 15 appearances for Manchester City after spending some of the 2005-06 season on loan at the club.

5. He made his Blues debut in a memorable 3-1 win at home to local rivals Manchester United on January 14, 2006. A similar result would be most welcome if he makes his Reds bow against the Red Devils on September 13.

6. Riera managed just one goal under City boss at the time Stuart Pearce, when he opened the scoring in a 3-0 win at home to Newcastle on February 1, 2006.

7. Guillem Balague believes the winger will make the most of his second spell in the Premier League after claiming City did not take full advantage of the 26-year-old's strengths. "He was not given the opportunity to play in his natural, attacking, position at City," he wrote on his website. "He spent his time there being used as a wing back: his natural position is a winger in a 4-2-3-1 formation."

8. Albert hails from the island of Mallorca and comes from a town called Manacor, which incidentally, is the same place where tennis star Rafael Nadal was born.

9. Riera has already sampled the famous Anfield atmosphere after playing 77 minutes of City's 1-0 defeat away to Liverpool in the 05-06 campaign. Harry Kewell was the Reds' goalscorer that day while Joey Barton was sent off for the visitors.

10. Albert scored his one and only international goal in Spain's 3-1 win away to Denmark in a European Championship qualifier on October 13, 2007. He has five caps for his country to-date.

I know but still. He didn't get paraded or anything. Has this deal JUST gone through?

I think the Kop owe him a goodbye

wowGEEKevl · 01-09-2008, 09:09 PM

Finnan is the best right back we've had in years and Arbeloa isn't good enough clearly but Degen hasn't played a PL game yet so can't realy judge him.
