Watching that youtube I guess some of his goals do look good when in juxtaposition. Just wasn't dazzling Live. I am sorry for not liking them as much...glad you liked them. My favorite LFC striker has got to be Robbie Fowler...some of the goals he scored were just awesome...I STILL remember the ones against manure in the '95/'96 season. I have enjoyed Peter Crouch goals a lot more too when he has been on the pitch (that hat trick last year...my god those semi-bicycle kick volleys with different foot each time were amazing).
These days I watch LFC just to see Gerrard's volleys and long shots and the occasional one from Riise (though haven't seen one in ages).
Gah someone brought up Trezeguet...I will never forgive him for missing his kick in the '06 WC final. <3 Juve though...big del Piero fan since the '98 WC.
Edit to add:

Yeah I agree with you. Gerrard's defensive tackles are very very good. Can't remember against who (was last season I think)...he went half way across the pitch to tackle and reclaim the ball.
Edit2:
As far as the CL goes this year I think Manure will be in the final. If its Barca vs. LFC I want Barca to lose so they can fire Rijkaard already so we can get rid of Grant. If its Manure vs. LFC I think the former will win. If somehow Chelsea get to the final they will beat Barca, but lose miserably and boringly if against Manure.
