KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Jose Enrique – the weak link

Look properly how he is performing and you´ll see that he often gives the ball away in dangerous areas. Today he gifted Palace a great long pass from the half way line - backwards! We were lycky they didn´t score there!

The header from Gayle that went in: Who was supposed to mark him? José was there at first, but just let him get away. Ball watching in his own pen area as usual.

Going forwards he is quite good though - even though he gives the ball away far too often - at least at the moment.

My feeling about him is that he is really very up and down for long periods. In a month or so it wouldn´t surprise me if he suddenly lined up 7 good games on a row!

With Cissokho back we will hopefully have cover at lb, regardless!

Agree with Marko on his day he can be a world beater but his inconsistency is incredible. There have been times when he has supplied Suarez like the finest of midfielders time and again in a game and also defended like a class left back.

Just don't get the guy. Be a shame if he can't get a handle on it but we can't have him putting us under pressure time and again especially when it's against the top sides.

He'll cost us a game soon with his passing at the back! Can't trust him to play the right ball.

He was outstanding in the first half. In the second half, he made some mistakes that could have cost us, but I don't think he was poor overall.

He was to blame for Southamptons goal if you remember (lost his marking in our pen area on a corner - just folded without any visible reason), so he has already cost us one point this season.

Same against United in the cup wasnt it? Lost the player he was marking (Hernandez) who then scored from a corner.

When you think about it, he's crap! He can be fantastic for 89 minutes but he normally has at least one moment a game where he messes up big time.

I expect Cissiokho to start against Newcastle.

Funny I thought it was Gerrard who failed to head the ball away on both occasions. If i remember correctly, For the Hernandez goal, a corner kick from Rooney just needed a simple defensive header away from goal, Gerrard under no pressure at all failed to head the ball. Similar thing happened yesterday but this time from a free kick.

Yesterday it was Enrique who was marking Gayle. Gayle ran forwards and no one followed him. He was alloud to just stand in front and head the ball over Gerrard, Enrique and Mignolet. I thought it was Enriques fault as he seemingly was supposed to mark Gayle.

Gerrard didn't help much either though, to be honest!
