yes he did but i read something interesting earlier...spearing has never started a league game without playing alongside lucas.

i doubt that kenny thinks spearing is the long term solution...

I agree but we have plenty of options to cover, even though the job Lucas does has been immense over the last 2 years. Would like to see Henderson in the middle now but then will Adam's defensive game get found out?

I reckon Shelvey can step up to the plate for us now, not saying he will replace Lucas but hopefully he will have found some confidence after a good spell with blackpoo. 6 goals in 10 games, cant argue with that


I never finish anythi

exactly, because shelvey ain't gonna play in the lucas role. i doubt spearing will be doing so for the rest of the season so we're probably gonna spend on a replacement in january..


I am not so sure Shelvey won't slot into that role. If you think about it, he's a big lad, fairly pacey and wouldn't be that easy to push around in that role. I am not sure what his tackling is like but don't forget that Lucas was also and attacking mid. Perhaps they will try him in that position in training and see how he does...

The reason you loan players is so they can get experience with first team football so that when the host club needs them, they are ready. Shelvey has proven he can perform in the first team at blackpool, if he wants to prove himself ready in the premier league, he chance starts Monday

Understand how you feel mate but let's try to move on. We are all gutted I am sure.

Well I wonder how Shelvey feels about this since he was enjoying his stay at BP. I think Spearing can do a fine job, he reminds me of Murphy, not a lot of talent yes but he can get the job done and he can get forward on a few occasions and have a crack at goal. Shelvey is more attack minded and I wouldn't want to see him being turned into a DM.

this is whats going to happen, his going to come back and have a poor game and most people will get on his back and say his not good enough and will never be good enough to be a liverpool player and wish he wasnt brought back from blackpool.

Luis Garcia, He drinks sangria
He came from Barca, to bring us Joy
He's five foot seven, he's football heaven
