What was the point of Jordan Henderson being on the pitch tonight?
The kid is so out of his depth its scary.
Its a sad state of affairs when he is our most advanced midfielder.
Get Stevie closer to the front man and dare I say it stick Carra in as the holding midfielder until we get Lucas/Spearing back.
Heard rumours Krasic has been offered to us for 12 mil also Isla?
Kin/Baron any truth in the rumours?
I was worried last night with Adam and Gerrard in the centre to deal with Citeh's attacking threat and in particular David Silva. My fear was that gaps would open up with Adam being exposed and Gerrard being too high or off on his attacking forays.
However, Gerrard was given a job last night and stuck to it. He showed he can play as a defensive midfielder, and other than the occasional lapse (which will happen against the most dangerous attacking side in England), Liverpool did well to contain them.
Henderson, Downing and Kuyt were key to the game plan as well. One of Kenny's tactics seemed to be to try to isolate the Citeh defence (who really missed Kompany) by hitting the long ball towards Bellamy who wouldn't be expected to win the majority of these, but was enough of a threat and a pain that Kuyt, Downing and Henderson were then able to win the second ball. All of them did this well and that was only possible because of the engine all four displayed.
Skrtel and Agger were excellent again as well I thought.
As for rumours, not heard anything concrete and I've been a bit out of the loop. Think we'll definitely be after a forward though, as we can't rely on Bellamy all the time with his knees being as they are. Although last night those knees didn't half cover some metres.
