Haha, murph you never fail to amuse me my friend. Anyway Aqua i think is a great player, alot of u mentioned before that alot of players had difficult seasons in their first season and i got to agree with that. Aqua has to adapt to the PL and with a few consecutive starts, it will make the difference. I also think rafa is clueless in where and when to use him and with a new manager, i think he will be a much more effective player. We'll just wait and see

he is just too easy down and speed too slow

aqua can bring something to the team none of our other players are capable of - an ability to keep possession of the ball .... all the others just look to get rid of the ball, rather than making a pass

though it must be said if lucas is given freedom he looks a far better player - he did play the ball through for babel's goal .... i can't believe anyone would get rid of him when it is clear he is just not being allowed to play his natural game ..... it held scott parker back for years when he changed in a similar manner, yet now i doubt anyone would dispute his ability .... though personally i would just like to see him, aqua and gerrard as our central midfield, remove the shackles and just let them play

yeah but i dont think that works with the way rafa set's up the team. That would require a fresh approach

i presume he was aqualini who set up babels goal as well
i know it could not have been lucas anyway because he never passes the ball forward and never has any assists!!!

Got to agree with u Trepie, if lucas is played in his actual possession which i believe is an attacking midfielder he would improve significantly instead of playing him as a holding midfielder that only fouls players and get booked. Jimmie, It was lucas clever little boy aint he?

lucas' pass and assist almost came to nought... babel's finish wasn't exactly clinical. but it went in and credit to him, he's been working his socks off for a couple of months now.

as lucas' twitter says..."liverpool defensive midfielder, brazilian attacking midfielder!"

i think aqua has serious potential but rafa's reigns just hold him back as they do for alot of players at the club. still think that if rafa was gone, a different side of lucas and babel would be seen.

though bable managed to put the ball in but the way it was..i serously doubt his footy capabilities even more now :S

Informative and insightful as always Emp.
