positives

adam - did ok/good

carroll - looked alot sharper ( is it me or has he shrunk, doesnt look as big as he did at NCFC)

downing - did well and he showed he can be the winger we all want

agga - showed his class, joint MOTM with downing

lucas - nice to see him back and did well when he came on

kelly - was solid

The back four did well

negatives

AA - big fan of him but was poor in the game

henderson - like AA never got into the game

ngog - did northing right or wrong but just disappointed to see him in the red shirt ( i know thats abit harsh )

The strike force as a whole when carroll went off, we looked abit toothless. we need another striker

Suso I agree with you about Ngog. But he is the only pacy striker we have I know suarez is fast but not in the run on to the ball mode al la Owen. I agree we need to get rid of ngog but we need another like him. E.g an ngog who is good.

i cant disagree with you. we need a quick striker but surely we can find a striker that quick with abit of footballing inteligents (sp) without breaking the bank

imo we need shane long he's fast, he works the channels he's a good finisher and works his arse off every game, 7m he'd be a brilliant little player for us.

Great to see Lucas back, he had 100 % pass rate in the second half when he came on. Little stat for you if anyone's interested. Downing looks like a really good buy. Yes Carroll looked sharper but I think we are gonna struggle without suarez to score goals. Adam was really quite average I personally thought. Henderson again average game. Overall despite result I think Valencia will be happier with the game as they are 2 weeks behind us and but for 2 howlers would have got a deserved draw.

Little Video of Lucas if you havn't seen it:

Lack of injuries permitting, and a generally settled side, and they'll be romping away from the rest of the pack by Crimbo, mark my werds.

Also on aqualani, Kenny was very evasive when asked if he has a future in the post match interview

Nice little clip of Lucas..Won the ball back plenty of times and used it well well also. He's grown a lot as a footballer in the past two seasons and am glad that he is still with us after a turbulent start to his career at LFC. I like most wanted him gone after is first season but has develeoped exceptionally well.
