OMG!

Have just watched Alan Smith laid out on the anfield pitch white as a sheet.
I hope there is nothing majorly wrong with him.

It looks like a leg injury to me - and it looks bad.

Hopefully the news wont be too bad- fingers crossed.

I think the Liverpool players deserve a mention as do the Club Docs and Physio's who raced on the pitch.

Very true :thumbsup:

Big pat on the back for the whole liverpool outfit for helping out smithy on the field- well done lads.

It looks a bad one whatever he has done- I'm guessing at a dislocation I reckon.

A broken leg AND a dislocated ankle...OUCH!!
My thoughts and I know many other fellow LFC fans are with Alan Smith tonight.

Hope Al is fit for the groups in germany, we need some muscle up front, Owens a pushover

Don't think there's any chance of that

Yeeeeoooooooooouuuccchhhhh! That's gotta hurt. And I really don't like watching bones breaking in slow motion :gag: I thought it was a tongue-swallowing thing when I saw the players freaking out, till he moved and they showed the replay and then they were trying to keep his head still so he couldn't see his foot at a 90 degree angle to his leg :o

I did not watch, I guessed by Ronaldo's reaction and the others around Smith moving his line of sight away from his leg, that it was pretty horrendous. I am sure he will recover, and wish him the best of luck.

:shakes:

That looks like an injury that could end a career. I hope not as smith is a player I like

Career threatening I think thats a cert.....if not, at least 2 years out and might never be the same player again....brings back memories of David Busst, Coventry.

It shows what a risky game proffessional football can be. What caused it was just charging down a free kick for God's sake!

Professional or not, Ive been playing sundays and seen a guys's knee come out when he challenged for a header.....

you could tell something was seriously wrong when he was sat up and just reached out for something to grab hold of.

although ive never been a fan of smithy, i hope it doesnt end his career

The David Busst injury was against ManU wasn't it?. I remember that happening and this one looked as bad

As much as I dislike Smith, I would not wish that injury on anyone, poor bloke. :(

When I first saw it, I thought he was just being a wuss, because it looked like he juat had the ball blasted at him, but then on closer inspection I saw what actually happened. I wouldnt wish that on anyone. Very harsh :(

i didnt realise it was that bad, i heard just a dislocation, not a 90 degree open fracture break, that sound painful!!! i just hope its nothing like HENRIK Larsons injury in the old celtic days.

freddie larsson??
henrik??

A pretty bad injury but not the worst I've seen.

A friend of mine broke 3 or 4 bones in her leg in an a showjumping fall and ended up with part of her leg sticking through her riding boot.

Hope that Smithy makes a full recovery and is back playing in the latter part of next season :)

freddie larsson??
henrik??

thanks Robbie, im sure i had got it wrong, just shows i dont like Barca or Arsenal. But anyway, i meant Henrik

when larrson did his, it look horrific...... image still in my head

Oh yeah, just for another image, Cisse did the same, now THAT was bad, i saw that live, ouch!

More the way his broke. It just broke (not under tackle or ball hitting it I think). Very scary. Would never have gone back to game if that was me.

yeah looked nasty, i only realised how bad it must have been when i saw the rest of the players covering their eyes and turning away from him

Could Alan Smith receive physio from Alan Smith??
