18 months ago with owners who had any foresight we should have gone all out to have signed Barkley as Gerrard's understudy and successor. £30-40 million would have done it Everton or not.

Instead we buy Lallana and Allen. Oh well.

Barkley is still very hit and miss for me although his potential is huge if he can find some consistency, probably similar to Coutinho.

I hope John Flanagan can overcome his injury problems as he could well be a mainstay in the team like Carragher was. Other than him I don't see any other young scousers who are potential first team players. I don't want to write Rossiter off early but I just think he has Jay Spearing written all over him.

If they didn't want to sell Stones to Chelsea, what makes you think they would've entained us.

Now maybe not, 18 months ago when his talent was still there to see and Everton were in a more vulnerable position I think it would have been very possible.

Just think what he could have been like with Gerrard being able to coach him in training on a daily basis for that period of time. Water under the bridge now though.

That's what happens when you go the tattoo shop after a few too many!

I wish we had Stones at the back.

Although thinking about it,our defence is like sandstone.

After a brief resurgence almost 2 years ago, Liverpool are as w@nk as they've ever been so can't even think about the derby. I empathise with the fans who paid and wasted several hours of their life on that sh!te tonight.

And Markovic who is sent away after playing a few games for 20m
