Ombudsam

it was just about physicality with him. no more

Aye, that's the thing isn't it

When rafa very very first came here we used to batter teams at anfield.

From Bolton away (debut) you could see the lad was a player. different circumstances though

Aquilani looks so far of the pace at the moment. Needs games games games. Having said that he looked boss against arsenal

On this Lucas and masch being the sam player. Wasn't lucas meant to be a box to box(er) when we signed him. how come he's a holding player all of a sudden

He's playing deeper and is more static than I expected. Might just be fitness and adjusting plus us not being brilliant at the moment

May happen may not but you could file him in the Johnson Kuyt level of performance on the last game. I know there are mitigating circumstances as he has not played since March or whenever

Exactly he just said that you needed two players who can do the running required and get stuck in. Even the mancs with the non existent midfield have utilised fletcher for this

It was a great pass. Thought if we are judging just that performance that he sat too deep and did not impose enough

I back rafa as much as you do or maybe more but if he doesn't start last night then when does he start. We're in mid december now and he hasn't started a league game despite being fit since mid october. How is he going to be fit for when we play the good teams if we don't play him against the poorer teams to get him up to speed. We were at anfield and all. This is now at the level where it is over cautious because next is a game against portsmouth away and if he doesn't start you'll say tough away fixture against a team battling for their lives. Then if he doesn't start away against Villa it will be a case of well they are really good so he couldn't. Then against wolves it will be that they are coming to Anfield to kick us. You have got to see that there is a point where it is ridiculous and that we hit it last night.

This went into the ridiculous last night.

He's got to haha

That's cos he's a striker. Play your best players in their best position

No left foot

so if aquilani and gerrard and Johnson and benayoun and insua and torres and kuyt are all high up the pitch who is doing the defending. is it Masch v the whack

can he run with the ball. I like players who can do that.

I like that

I get the feeling it could be a torres like signing for the midfield. Very similar backgrounds and just enough doubt about whether they are good enough. A few months later everyone says of course they were and wonders why they weren't snapped up.

They were gelling for england and l'pool at the end of the treble season. I think injuries did for both anyway
