Friedel has been very good/great almost everytime i watched him in these last God knows how many years. Either i always catch his best performances or the guy is a very good goalkeeper.

Americans in general produce very good GKs and maybe some were/are better than Friedel, but he is my favorite American keeper.

He's right up there with Keller in my view. And Friedel is damn good and also pretty consistent.

Howard has a chance of becoming better than Brad, and hopefully he will.

Think that might be because you don't need to grow up with football as a GK in the same way as an outfield player. An athletic and intelligent person whose been doing some other more typical American sport can still thrive as a keeper.

Selling Alonso was such a good idea. Can't wait till we sell Torres in January so we can unleash the scoring punch of Voronin-Ngog.

Basically from what I saw, the last 10 minutes, no one other than Gerrard or Torres or Kuyt (as always) seemed to give a shit. That will have to stop that crap if we are going to be successful this season.

Basically, those three players were the only ones doing something all match, along with Johnson who was a threat. Lucas was a disaster and Benyaoun wasn't helpful.

Kind of missing Riera on the left and you know who in the center.

Lucas needs to play with a bit more confidence like he did in pre-season. As he goes, so will the rest of the squad.

Also I think we might as well re-insert Ayala into the squad if we're going to keep playing like this. If the season is going to be a throw away, we might as well give the lad some playing time.
