Kromkamp rounds on 'ugly' Reds

 

Liverpool misfit Jan Kromkamp has accused his former team of being ugly.

 

Kromkamp, who found a home at PSV Eindhoven after being shown the exit door by Rafa Benitez, claims the Eredivisie side have the measure of their opposition ahead of Wednesday's UEFA Champions League clash.

 

With The Reds' form having taken a downturn this season, Kromkamp claims the team's failings have been exposed.

 

Chief among them according to Kromkamp is Benitez's over-reliance on long balls to Peter Crouch.

 

"We know how to get at Liverpool. They have plenty of weaknesses," said Kromkamp.

 

"They often revert to kicking long ugly balls up to Peter Crouch.

 

The manager's tactics change as soon as you frustrate his players and that is what we will be aiming to do on Wednesday.

 

"They have weaknesses in several places, especially in the gap between defence and midfield, and also at centre back.

 

"In one-on-ones, the two in the middle of defence are very good, but they cannot contribute to Liverpool's build up play. So we will focus on that.

 

"If you block them from deep they soon lose their rhythm and start playing those long balls up to Crouch."

He can f*** off too.

We also had a weakness at times last season at right back and sometimes right midfield.

 

C***.

[_00_deathscar]

He's right in parts, especially about hte midfield/defence.

[Benzo-13]

Wasn't he weak at the knees in the showers?

"They have weaknesses in several places

 

I thought that was only while he was here.

Playing Agger regularly should go about rectifying that.

F*** off Kromkamp you boss-eyed c***.

Can't really disagree with any of that tbh.

Apart from all of it?

 

Long balls?

Weaknesses exist, yes, but in the worst of times, why the need to rub it in when he can be a little more subtle or encouraging...ala Morientes

[_00_deathscar]

Because PSV are about to play us and Valencia aren't?

[stonty]

Pin that to the dressing room door on Wednesday evening.

 

 

While he was here nearly every fecking ball that prick played was ugly.

WOW...never knew that.....bolt from the blue this

[Guest Cardie]

He doesn't play for us, we used him to make a quick buck and he's answering a press question. His point is entirely valid and nothing we haven't already said. When Crouch plays we do take the easy option and hit it long and without Sissoko we do struggle between Defence and Midfield.

 

He's not around to make us feel better about ourselves he's their for the PSV supporters.

apart fropm that at hom,e certianly we are far from weak

 

a fact that most people seem to forget

[Guest Cardie]

Our form at home has been excellent I agree, Galatasary managed to highlight those weaknesses and prove that it can be done though.

 

Kromkamp highlighting that fact is hardly a hangable offence though.

he was never that good

[floyd]

Nah, I was just referencing 2 ex Reds, who despite winning quite a few trophies with us, tend to stick the boot into us.

Fvckin pair of cvnts, both of them.

[muleskinner]

The only good thing he did was get us a fee and cut the loss on Josemi.

Comments are in a few of today's papers apparently.

 

Former Anfield defender Jan Komkramp claimed that Liverpool resort to "hitting long balls to the tall Peter Crouch" and bizarrely that Benitez's side are "particularly weak in central defence and central midfield." Benitez seemed unperturbed but Steve Finnan predicted his ex-colleagues outspoken remarks could rebound on him. "A fair bit has been said about his comments" said Finnan. "I don't know whether he wanted it to come out the way it did but our players might just use that as an extra motivation. Most of the lads know what type of man he is."

 

(Sorry - can you move this to the LFC section)
