KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Aquilani brings a touch of class 2 merseyside

and I bet my bul sac he will lose the ball at least 8 times in that match!

I think we need to give aqua the chance against the likes of man u, chelski etc. its the only way we will know whether he can step up to the play.

I agree though that it is difficult to tell against portsmouth!

the gas thing is, raffa's system only seems to work against man utd, so its the one time i would say leave the man to it. its the other 36 games that worry me.

true true!

Lets hope so and that we get another 4 - 1!

then i'd smile about this team, for the first time in months. which doesnt include the times i laughed at babel and lucas of course.

it would put a dent in utd's title chase aswell. go on the gunners.

lets hope wigan do us a much needed favour tonight.

Im more concerned with spurs to be honest. I hate spurs!

Man city will bottle it i think but spurs worry me.

but yeah, go on wigan!!!

I'd say the threat comes from Villa, City and then the spuds but thats just my humble opinion.

That's quite true.But,that was when gerrard,torres & carra were at their best.Gerrard's had a very poor season by his standard's.And,realistically should have been sent off last night.Fair play to rafa,for taking gerrard off before the situation escalated.Aquilani played well & was pleased to see him score.But,remember,we were only playing portsmouth.Still think we were moving the ball around to slowly at times & our midfield are to slow breaking forward.Also Insua get's turned to easily,which is a concern for sunday.Don't think he'll start with aquilani on sun,he'll definitely bring back dirk & lucas,because we're away.And,we all know how crap we were at wigan.Against utd I would play;riera-mash-aqua-gerrard(if available)& yossi behind torres.

Great stuff from the Aqua man last night. I'm interested to see what Rafa will do now in terms of selection in the next 2 games. I was sort of thinking that Rafa would definately go with Lucas and Masch at OT, then meaning Aqua might get another start on Thursday night before being left out at OT. Having said that will the ever cautious rafa think that Aqua can play another 90 mins on Thursday. Don't know why I'm bothering to try and second guess Rafa - you never can!!!
