    At the start of the season Kelly was our first choice rb with Johnson at lb. Enrique was injured but when he got fit again Kelly still kept him out for a while. Kelly then got injured and Wisdom came in. Enrique had to really work at it.

    I can see Kelly possibly starting the season a bit like Enrique. Not in the first 11 so will have to work hard at it and just keep going until the chance comes. Grab that chance and like Enrique he can become a big part of the team.

    Wisdom is a truly exciting prospect for me, he looks so comfortable and not and all out of his depth. Only 20 the other month as well!

    Kelly I really rate but its difficult because he simply can't keep playing at RB with these injury lay offs and we certainly can't just chuck him in at CB - few bad results and guess who the scape goat is?

    Hopefully he will get a few games in the cups at CB to prove he is good enough there because its been a while since he played there and at no where near the same level either.

    Great to have these guys pushing people for spots though <ok>

    Very successfully too. I liked seeing him play there and wouldn't mind him playing there again if the other wide forwards are off form.

    I found that our attack looked more penetrative when Enrique was pushed up. He linked very well with Suarez, plus strangely enough, his output (passing/crossing) seemed to improve. In addition, he wasn't afraid to get into the box which is something we struggled with.

    Our attacking options are quite different now now.

    Rodgers adjusted our style slightly, signed Sturridge and Coutinho, moved Henderson in to the front three and Borini was injured. Now Borini is also is fit again and Luis Alberto and Aspas have signed. Enrique is a good option though.
