Whatever happens don't play Rodriguez on the wing, I think we have learnt by now he isn't a winger. He is Lambert's replacement so when he places it should be up front.

In regard to the subs - 10 million sitting on the bench or getting a run out for the obligatory 15 minutes. What does this say? JRod not the player everybody thought and the same can be said of Mayuka? Would like to know what has happened to Chan Lee, I thought he looked an interesting proposition? Watching Cork and Morgan both looked tired vs Norwich so surprised they got the nod for Liverpool. Just think our squad lacks any quality in depth and with hand on heart think 16th 17th place this season is the absolute best we can hope for!

Was just wondering about Lee too. Maybe he's still not fully fit?
 
As NA and his entire coaching staff see Mayuka in training vitually everyday, they must all feel is is either not ready or simply not good enough to get a game so why is it that everyone on this forum seem to think he is going to be the panacia for our troubles having only seen him in a couple of substitute camio's?

Fair point DL. I don't think we are calling him the messiah though just might give us something different and freshen things up a bit!
 
Thing is Rodriguez and Mayuka haven't been given a chance. People going on about maybe Adkins doesn't rate Mayuka because he see's him in training. But training is nothing like playing a match?.

No reason why he shouldn't be able to play wide as part of an aggressive front 3. He has the pace and the skill and his interplay is pretty good. Worked pretty well against Spurs with Rodriguez left and Mayuka right. He's just a very different player to Lallana or Puncheon and we need to change the shape if we're going to play him wide.

Agree INS! If memory serves he scored some crackers for Burnley cutting in from the flanks!

But we play 4-4-1-1 now so it wouldn't work him being on the wing.

No harm in being flexible though Beef! Different formations for different circumstances.

I know that, but since we have changed from 4-3-3 to 4-4-1-1 we have looked far better don't you think?.
