Personally I am trying to take one match at a time. I do not think we will fall of a cliff in terms of performance but we do currently have two fit senior center half’s and three fullbacks. We need to manage their fitness very carefully.

It is not a black and white decision. Personally I worry that Trent and Robbo are playing too many games. So for Sheffield play a back four ofTrent - Gomez - VVD - Milner and against Everton Hoever - Gomez - VVD - Robbo

Agree treble would be great but guess I am just so focused about winning the league and not willing to take ANY chances :-)

Agree a draw vs Everton is the worst scenario. Do think dropping points against Sheffield at home would be a very bad start to a very tough January.

Honestly, 3 points against Sheffield is more important than the FA cup in my opinion.

Maybe consider Williams or Hoever against the ev.

When is Rossiter due back from injury?

Nice to see Jordan Williams is on the bench today against Villa. This is his third involvment with this first team (Boro and Wimbeldon). How similar is Jordan Williams and Jordan Rossiter as players? Rossiter has started once and been on the bench twice so far this season.

So it is not possible to separate Brendan Rodgers and recruitment? How involved and accountable is BR in purchasing a player?

Of course. This does not prove that FSG are the primary culprit? Are you referring to the club using a transfer committee?

Playing devil's advocate here a bit but what evidence do you base this on?

The pressing game is interesting. How effectively do we as a team press? It does not help that Hendo does it alone, it must be a team effort. I do wonder how many of our players really suit this style of play tactically and physcially. Hendo appears to have the legs, both Gerrard and Lucas have showns signs of fatigue.

In a number of matches this season I’ve found the central midfield a bit lacking. The opposition seems to run straight through us at time. Obviously there can be lots of reasons for this which may vary from match to match. What do you think are the main issue? Is it physical, tactical, consistency, quality of players, types of players... In my opinion the midfield does not score enough. Goals from midfield so far this season is: Gerrard(2), Hendo(1), Sterling(1), Moses(1) from 12 matches.

Suarez

The timing is wrong. We have lost Carragher and Reina, big question marks around Suarez. We wont win matches this coming season with money in the bank.

You do know that Agger has been troubled by injuries in the past?

Agree. Obviously the club need to consider value for money and how long-term a target should/must be.

A loan deal makes some sense. It allows Robinson to go on a season loan and play first team football every week. At the end of the season we assess both players and make a choice.

I do not understand the second part of this sentence. Why is he not the standard we need due to the club having a cap on a potential transfer fee? Maybe Coutinho is deemd better value for money at 8M but some other player is better value for money at 10M.

Our built up play is very predictable and is targeted by the opponents. IMHO it will require more skills by the team both in term of passing and movement to perform this at a greater speed and with more forward impetus. Not sure it will be less risky and more rewarding. Personally I would like to see a more pragmatic and dynamic approach where we adapter more to the opponent and occasion. Maybe try a 40 meter pass to the winger or try a punt towards Suarez to stretch the play.

Agree but it is not a black and white thing. We could mix it up a bit more. Occasionally try a medium range pass to one of the wingers.
