When I said any position I did not mean strikers playing goalkeeper or defenders have some common sense but a midfielder should be able to play anywhere up front or midfield or defence wing back etc but no not as central defender or goalkeeper. What the assertion seems to be is marcovic would be a world beater if only rodgers would play him in a position 10 yards different. Sorry that does not work for me. Marcovic has been an abject failure but there is time for him to turn it round but it very much looks like another one in the long line of those we move on after over paying for them

I think you could do with a dose of that sense your self Stan! It might only be 10 yards back as you say but it's a completely different way of playing, a different mindset and if it's not your natural game, then most would struggle.

I get that you don't seem to like him but give him a chance in his proper position (even if it is only 10 yards forward!) before condemning him to the exit door!

A left wing forward being played as a right back...apparently that's good enough to judge him on.

Apparently so ninja! No doubt everyone knew he'd fail before we bought him too! I do wonder why I bother with this place sometimes!

If he is a left wing forward and once you play him in that position he is awesome then why does rodgers not play him there i am no fan of rodgers but he is not an idiot there is a reason he does not play him in that position rodgers sees him every day in training and clearly concludes he is not good enough in that position so tries him in another position.

I knew nothing about him but trusted those who claimed they knew him well so far they have been wrong

Playing 3 at the back, we haven't really had a lwf so it could be why he's not been used there.

Rodgers has been a bit of a of an idiot for me for not using players in their right positions. Can at cb. Hendo has been used at rwb and rm. Sterling up front when we had 3 fit strikers. I'm not sure why he does it but I wouldn't take it that Marko isn't good there because he's not played there.

Absolutely, what I said was only my opinion and only as valid as yours. He might have a stormer and lets all hope he does. It would be great to have such a young player hit good form we need one. It's just your assumption that no one but you in the conversation has ever seen him play outside of Liverpool which was stupid. Not your opinion of him.

Look if Marko turned out to be a great signing we will all be delighted but it hasn't started well for him.

Maybe he will flourish under a new manager but Rodgers doesn't seem to rate him. Which begs the question, why did we sign him in the first place.
