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

We will be exposed against the top teams if we play Insua at LB, unless he has improved his defensive ability out of all recognition, which I would doubt! Robinson might be a better bet but maybe unfair to him at his age. I think we have to sign a LB regardless of what Comoli is saying! otherwise we are likely to leak goals all season!

they were defo men of the match today. i'd like to see insua stay and compete with johnson for LB, specially if that frees up some money to get another winger. surely we have 10mill for nzogbia?

Johnson ragained his form playing at left back. I thought his defending improved greatly when he was at left back when you consider its not his natural postion it meant he had to concentrate more. As as we go at right back you've got kelly with Flanagan pushing him for a starting place.

'Nuff said.

BIN HIM NOW!! Bloody total liabilty and absolute crap.
Can't believe some of you rate him. Staggered I am.

Absolutely no use at being alledgedly great at going forwatd, if he then just cheaply gives the ball away with fantastic ease and total lack of skill.

BIN HIM!!

No doubt when Kenny and Steve came into the club it gave the whole place a lift but I think your giving Johnsons return to form to much credit with that. He's out of postion which meant he had to concentrate more. like many footballers I dont think his the brightest tool in the box.

With regards to Insua yes he was thrown in at the deep end but you either take the opportunity or you dont. Unfortunately for the lad he wasnt up for the challange. I just simply dont think he's good enough which is a shame really because we'd love to see everyone succeed in a Liverpool shirt.

i have always rated AA and have said it on many occasions that i rather have him in my team then mereles. the only problem with him is his injury record but in terms of ability top draw. surely we have to get rid of at least 2/3 CM.
AA, adam, spearing, johno,lucas, mereles, gerrard, henderson, paulson
thats too many CM surely? i can see paulson going and johno going on loan and maybe mereles if we get a high enough offer for him.

Honestly Shelvey, flanno, wilson, gulasi, pacheco should all leave on loan.

Then depending on sales e.g poulson jovanovich, ngog we could loan off spearing as well to try to get his passing a bit better ( right know he's a bit like momo sissoko without the physicality).

Lastly would be happy with getting say a forward aged 19-22 to replace ngog, similar to a sturridge/Kalou when they joined Chelsea or like when Ngog joined us from PSG, the only difference being he'll be a 4th choice striker and not 2nd.

I think Johnson at left with Kelly at right is more than strong enough. Flanno is a little bit suspect with being too over eager sometimes when going forward then being caught out. Robinson is going to be ready sooner rather than later.

Nothing wrong with a bit of depth in the squad so keep Insua, hell if the club can afford it keep them all and let them fight for their places preferably Battle Royale style heheh

i hope we keep aqua and its not just because he ran the show against a team like malaysia or john henry tweeted about him...i wish he stays and shines.hes a prized thing..

ffs if we can keep maxi n cole n kuyt then why not aqua..i do want to see him in action next year
