I think you'll find he had a good season last year, not spectacular but was consistently deserving of a first 11 place. All this prem to fast for him is nonsense. People seem to forget he was fantastic in his last few games for us the season before last, and that was quick one touch passing, something he is known for and excels at. Speed is definitely NOT an issue. It is the physicality, it takes him longer to get up, he wants too many fouls and he pulls out of challenges but less so than meireles.
Faz, all this he doesnt deserve a place cause he hasn't performed apart from for juve and in pre season. Well he is the only one bar downing that has performed during pre season. If these teams are so sh!t then adam should be tearing them apart if he is 'performing'. You play the players that are playing well, currently that is Aqualani and for money he did enough in the closing games the season before last to certainly warrant a run if our first choices aren't clicking/are injured
+1 Also, a few people are having a dig at Spearing. I was watching him closely, and thought he played quite well yesterday. Maybe we were watching different games

Maybe we were watching different games he was a non event, never got involved and his passing was again terrible, if he was french everyone would be calling for him to be given away with poulsen, jovanovic and el zhar.

Aquillani was obviously the most talented player on the pitch last night,
He was head & shoulders above everyone else and showed the folly of all those on here who put him in the same bracket as Christian Poulsen It was his actions that led to the 2 corners we scored from in the 2nd half And some here would rather see him sold for £5m

I thought he played well. I missed some of the first half because i had to pop out for a bit, but in the second half i thought his passing was decent, and he was doing a good Lucas-style job in the holding CM position chasing players down and getting stuck into a few tackles. He was also doing good movement work off the ball and getting himself into positions to be available to receive a pass to the players around him. This is very underrated and often overlooked work.

plus it was nice to see sterling get a game. would like to see him on the bench in the next game I think that this season will be the season where more youth players will be unveiled by King Kenny himself. So far in the pre-season he had the likes of Andre Wisdom , Conor Coady and Raheem Sterling to call upon. I believe in the new season , more youth players will make an appearance in the first team. Players such as Marco Bueno(if he signs), Suso , Nacho , Pacheco and Adam Morgan. Although they will not make an instant impact (not now at least) , they would be a great development in the future. Maybe 5 years from now they will be household names for Liverpool. Always keep the hopes high of unleashing the next Owens , Gerrards and Fowlers... Just My Thoughts YNWA...
