He's a decent CF but he doesn't belong on the wing. He wouldn't start or be first backup on any of the other top 4 clubs. If the best you can say about him is that he hustles, he doesn't belong on a top side. He would be a great sub at the ends of game in the forward position for either Torres of Keane, but that's it.<BR/><BR/>And to complete my lameness, I'll go ahead and criticize Rafa for not having the team prepared in 4 games thus far. The team has completely underperformed and I don't have reservations saying that they have been outplayed by each and every opponent. <BR/><BR/>Kudos to El Zhar for making Keane, who is probably worth 39 million $ more than him, look like a waste of space. Though Babel's touch wasn't tip top tonight, he put fear into the other side. Plus, he actually went into the corner. Yes, the corner does exist - it just wasn't inhabited by an LFC player all night. <BR/><BR/>Poor Gerrard - gone for Villa and probably Man U. Love watching that man on the pitch. Though I think Masch and Lucas are ok cover, these next two weeks are so, so crucial. The first "real" tests of the season...if you don't count the first illusive four.<BR/><BR/>-jp2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-90312795819517859972008-08-27T21:38:00.000-04:002008-08-27T21:38:00.000-04:00The more I see of El Zhar, the more I'm impressed ...The more I see of El Zhar, the more I'm impressed with him. I think he should get a chance with the first team soon, especially if Yossi doesn't improve his form.<BR/><BR/>Wearing my Kuyt shirt with pride right now. That guy gives all effort, all the time. He's obviously not the most skilled player in the world, but he could very well get the most from what he's been given.<BR/><BR/>Skrtel was immense today.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-42016551779062074762008-08-27T20:07:00.000-04:002008-08-27T20:07:00.000-04:00Four games into a new season it`s stupid to try an...Four games into a new season it`s stupid to try and conclude on anything, but our ability to break down opposition is a major improvement. <BR/><BR/>Once our new signings blend in and our big performers find their form, I can see us compete. I`ll be very surprised if we find ourselves fighting for Champions League football towards the end of the season. <BR/><BR/>I`ve come to read your blog on a regular basis. Compliments on your journalism, it`s sharp and balanced.
