which is why as of this moment you are still behind lfc in the table i suppose oh dear blew that one.
Agree with this. Lambert hasn't done much wrong IMO, he works hard and leaves everything on the pitch. No complaints at all.
With his ratio of 1 in 12 for you in the league He's a distinctly average player who shouldn't be playing for a top four team, if he wasn't a Liverpool fan then I doubt he'd have even been bought. in an attempt to get this thread back on track (not really arsed but I haves reputation as a well respected mod), what happened to that Knopolanky fella from Ukraine?
Kono's contract is expiring soon - I reckon we will go back in for him but get him at a dirt cheap price. Latest rumour - heard that we have a strong interest in William Carvalho. Hope we pull out all the stops and get him in Jan.
Please let me dream!! I don't think Chelsea will sign him - they already have Matic ... but I suppose that won't stop them.
I think whether we sign a top DM or not depends on whether we plan to play 4231 or 433/41212. If we play just one holding player I say yes we need a top DM instead of Lucas. If we plat two holding players I'd prefer to look to who plays next to Lucas. Right now we have Gerrard, Henderson, Can or Allen. Gerrard and Lucas doesnt work, Henderson is to limited and Can to raw. Allen is an ok pick as he is a good work horse and tidy player, but Allen offers little spark or creativity. I'd prefer to find a solid deep play maker to partner Lucas. Maybe Cabaye could do this but I think he'd prefer a more forward role. Another option is Javi Martinez.
wellllll.... why would it? a top player is a top player, no? if we play 4-2-3-1 or 4-1-2-1-2 is more about who is available further up to make that work. If we play 4-2-3-1 cos we can't get a striker then the 20mil that is supposedly usually available per window may as well go on a top dm... like you say to play with lucas. However i must also say. cheslea play 4-2-3-1 with Matic and Fabregas as the 2. is matic not more than just a holding player... he's a beast. fabregas could never be called a dm but there he is. therefore what you said as "'d prefer to find a solid deep play maker to partner Lucas" is dead right...
In future Can could boss this role but I dont think he's there yet. In a holding pair we need a combined creative Juggernaut.
