Liverpool best English team on pens?

[Laylabelle 9,305]

Shame it went that way but still bit crazy

[Jase 43,479]

Utter madness of a penalty shootout but there were really some excellent penalties in there. Refreshing to see in some ways after that Man United v Sunderland debacle last season.

Shame Arsenal losing, the only competition they have chance of silverware.

They are given more than most .

It's a shame Arsenal lost. I wanted all of our rivals to go reasonably far, so that they couldn't focus only on the league.

Arsenal could have only the league to focus on and they'd still finish 4th.

I know, but we shouldn't underestimate anyone. They did manage to win some silverware last season, after all.

We won't have to worry then for another 8 years:)

Lol, with a little more distraction they will finish 5th.

I think a lot of us could see that happening. Shaw was clearly a Moyes signing and not an LVG signing. It'll be interesting how his career pans out. Either, he'll rise to the occasion and become a star or.. he'll be the biggest teenage flop of all time.

Poor fella

Shaw should get a chance at LB...unlike Rojo, that's his natural position

[Reddish-Blue 2,230]

Bahahahaha. Doesn't he look fat?

I wonder what happened to him since the end of last season...he definitely wasn't this fat at Southampton

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Bahahahaha. Doesn't he look fat?

I think he was always quite big for his age; but certainly not fat as he was playing regulary for soton. Whatever happend in summer, there were reports of him not being fit enough and whats even funnier, Gaal will probably never play him ahead of Rojo on lb. Rojo could play in center with Shaw on left, but Gaal prefers Blackett there lol. Tells you how much Gaal rates Shaw.

Maybe Shaw is still waiting for his chelsea transfer...

I'd take him for half the fee and wages...
