" Liverpool come into this game on the back of a great comeback against Fulham, where they were 2-0 down and eventually won 2-4. In their last Champions League game they were defeated 1- 0 away in Olymiakos, but did beat Monaco 2-0 at home.there is two things with bills statement last night that makes me believe it's not factual. 1, if we own his rights , he is in effect on loan , so why are we talking to his agent ? just tell him . 2, 700,000k for a player and he hasn't got a passport , we have either been ripped off or more likely we have never paid 700,000 k and we are in negoatiions now . bill paying 14k a week for a player that isn't going to be ready for 12 months , thats a player s wage , with a limited budget , i for one feel this isn't true , if it is it's madness , given such a small squad. Deportivo lie bottom of the Group with only one point in two games - they currently lie mid table in the Spanish League after a 2-1 win over lowly Getafe on Saturday and need to get something from this match.

With a Spanish coach at the helm, Liverpool will certainly hope that Rafael Benítez will be able to improve a record which has seen them win only twice at home in eight attempts against teams from Spain. However, they will be full of confidence after a great 4-2 win on Saturday. I think Liverpool are more prepared for Europe this season, with some key new players in Xabi Alonso, Luis Garcia and Cisse. Deportivo have had a disppointing start to the season, and I think thet this game has come to soon for them. The Spanish side have taken just one point from their first two UEFA Champions League games in Group A. I don't read anything into the planning permission by the way mm, there'd be no point in even considering it a possibility if planning permission was to be an issue.From the M57 as I drive to me old mans I can see Goodison on me left and the new ground would be visible on the right, 4 miles apart.  The fact that technically it's outside the city boundaryis that really an issue. Does any one born and bred in Kirkby not consider themselves. Having said that, I'm not sure I fancy the location, as I mentioned earlier, somewhere round Sandhills / the docks area strikes me there must be a location, the site in Kirkby has no great merit other than, no doubt, the Tesco cash.goodison has served well but we all know we can't stay . we are in a position were tesco need everton to smooth knowsley council , knowsley council want everton in their borough , plus objective one monies we'll be getting a ground worth 100million plus for choice. too good an business venture to ignore . the ground will be half a mile outside the borough , surely this shouldn't disrupt a wonderful opportunity'  One other concern I have, football has been riding on a surge of popularity for the last few years, close to 40,000 every game currently was most definitely some thing we only dreamed of in the mid 70's. I remember crowds of 18,000 for league games, 25-30,000 the average, 55,000 for the derby ! Are those days likely to return ? Do we need more than a 40,000 stadium I guess we do if we seriously intend to compete, Nil Satis Nisi Optimum As long as Liverpool can contain Deportivo striker Juan Carlos Valeron, I think they should win today. They have already beaten Monaco at home and they can add Deportivo to the list. Liverpool are available at evens @ Coral [£10 Free Bet] and this should be snapped up. The Reds are unbeaten at home domestically and have only conceded one goal. They should be backed today!
