KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Aquilani & Insua - The story so far?

Aquilani and Insua a bit of the forgotten men but I think both are in a similar situation and I wonder whether they have a future with us? Just watched the friendly vs. Malaysia the opposition were a bit ragged and I know it’s only a friendly. Aquilani in the second half ran the show and we all know technically he has it. But whether he can apply it remains to be seen and there is a lot of competition in midfield probably too much! But Insua in particular caught my eye and got me thinking. When he first started under Rafa I thought he was really good especially getting forward and crosses. Then it all went wrong for him badly. He was often caught out defensively but the view was maybe he was played too much and at too young an age when the team were short in the left back position. Now he is a bit older and there is no pressure on him and we have no one as a definite for the left back position. So I wonder whether he is a bit of a wildcard for this season and maybe he could break back into the first team if he can iron out his problems with the defensive side of the game.

M8 the forgotten man is degan lol

I know Desh but he is garbage Tranmere would not have him.

Insua is great going forward but is always susceptible to getting caught out at the back. I don't think he can be taught how to prevent that. I like you thought that he'd been over exposed when he first got into the team and with age he'd improve. I just don't he's good enough but hey I'd love him to make me look stupid come May.

Alberto is a good player and will shine for us this season. He's had a full season under his belt injury free. His creativity is just what we need when we're struggling to unlock teams that throw 11 men behind the ball. I can see Meireles struggling to get into the team before Alberto.

According to John W Henrys twitter account Albertos not going anywhere.

Have to agree Murphio. My thoughts esactly. Insua is great going forward and crossing the ball but am afraid he isn't really good at defending and when your playing in the league, you will get caught out way too many times.

Aqua on the other hand I would love to keep. We cannot play them all but we need to have a strong bench and Miereles and Aqua coming off the bench or Adam if he is on the bench would be great options to have for Kenny.

I thought we'd got rid of that useless Insulation last year ffs!

Fot goodness sake, he's back....from where?

Can't someone give a him a job in the canteen making pot noodles or summat?

looking at the size of him Growls the canteen isnt probably the best place to put him.

Short answer, I don't insua can make it with us in the premier league. Aqualani however, I am very excited to see what he can do for us this season.

I'd rather trust Robinson or play Johnson there.

I like Insua, but we have better on the left, Robinson is extremely good, and I can see him developing very well.

I've always liked Aqua and I hope that he stays and proves why I think he's top.
