KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Aquilanis father talks about the current situation

that's true emp. the player was fit enough to play 15 minutes on oct 28, so him not being given any minutes against city (nov 21) or blackburn (dec 5) has nothing to do with not being fit. it's just proof of how afraid rafa is to let go of his original negative gameplan...

or he is easing him in. we'll know more over the next few weeks.

how is it easing him in? he gives him no minutes at all for weeks, then decides to start him - he could have had a few run outs inbetween to improve his match fitness before starting

This fella is either physically fit or he isn't.

If he isn't then dont have him on the bench. Leave him at home with the physios to work with him and help him get better.

If he is, then he needs matches to get match fit and used to the speed of the Premiiership, and he will only get that by being allowed to set his feet on the pitch. Letting him on for 30secs, or having him run up and down the touchline during a game just wont do it!

For God's sake rafa, do one thing or the other and stop this nonsense.

if h plays from here on in this debate is obsolete.

Sorry Flame but he played 20 minutes four weeks ago and then to not get a run since makes me wonder what the hell is going on! He's been on the bench since then and if he's fit to get a spot there then he should be fit enough to play some part of the games in the past four weeks.
He's either fit or not....no more excuses for not playing him!!!

emp why would he buy him if he didnt fit into his style of play. thats ridiculous.

he bought keane

not quite.

yes quite - don't start that rubbish about him wanting barry and getting keane - he has even fully admitted he wanted keane as well ...... anyone with any sense would have bought each player on their own merits - not on the merits of a possible other signing!
