eye surgery! why did he have eye surgery?
I'm shocked and stunned that someone so into Liverpool doesn't remember this
He was kicked in the face during Liverpool's Champions League defeat by Benfica in February 2006 and his eye got caught.
First game back he wore a pair of specs - Edgar Davids style - but ditched them at half time after saying he cpouldn't plsay with them on
Not sure whether Snakeeye is correct that it all went downhill after that as his man of the match performance against Barcelona was a good year later.
As I remember it it was more the introduction of Mascherano into the team who despite being an absolute [oops] is one of the best destructive midfielders in the game
Still we could do with a player like Sissoko in the team now
